@BassIsCool2005 It's two cables. The first is dual 1/4" male on the microKORG XL's outputs, to dual RCA male on the KOPro's inputs. The other is dual RCA male on the KOPro's outputs, connected to an offscreen mixer.
This demo goes to show you you don't need a lot of gear to make great music two or three pieces will do you just fine and with a good imagination the sky is the limit
@peasant2general- Thanks! There are several vocoder programs, which use different voicing and chord structures. There are also several other input effects, such as a pitch shifter, grain shifter, and filter. These can all be recorded onto the Loop Banks the same way you see in this video.
@aronsoul Yes, you can record directly into the Loop Recorder Banks right from an iPod. Just get yourself an 1/8" to dual RCA cable, connect to the KOPro's line inputs, press REC, choose a Loop Recorder Bank, and you're all set.
MIDI misery MIDI compatibility was one of the main features we thought would improve the Kaossilator, so the arrival of MIDI ports on the Pro got us seriously excited. Unfortunately, it doesn't support standard note data. The X-Y coordinates are instead sent and received as CC values, meaning that if you want to play the internal synth instruments using a MIDI controller or DAW you'll need to find a way of converting notes to CC.
@lullaby666 The later programs in the miniKP (the ones that are working for you) are synthesizer programs, and they are the only ones that actually create sounds. The rest of the programs in the miniKP are effect processors, not sounds unto themselves, and they require audio coming into the miniKP's inputs in order to be heard.
@Romndragon Just to make sure, you need to be touching the pad while talking into the mic. Also make sure you're using the correct impedence adapter for the microphone, make sure the mic doesn't require phantom power, and check the input level on the front of the KOPro.
Excellent, with the Record button I can loop saxophone without taking my hands off the sax. So it cab really be a 4 track looper, with overdubs too. Excellent. 3 days to delivery.
I wish it showed the first click of a loop somehow. Like the tap button flash could change color for the first clickt of the loop every time or something.
so this could give me a recording studio (basically) by eliminating a laptop, interface, and software plus give me an awesome beat maker. thank you korg!
I just bought one.. But how come my one it dosen't have the airhorn sound from the siren part..is there any help.how to get the siren sound like airhorn one..
great, what you did with only one loop! (why in earth has korg limited this to 16beats...). Q: you said in external record mode the kpro does not listen to internal sounds... would it be possible to input the kpro lineout to the linein in order to join e.g. loop A and B into bank C? or would it only end in horrible feedback?
I have two questions I hope you could answer since I'm abandoning my Digitech JamMan stereo for either the Pro or KP3 (watching Phantogram do their thing with the KP3 has been very educational, and very inspiring) - 1. Can the drum sounds loaded in the Pro be separately played, or are the drum samples whole patterns? Can you play just the snare/hi-hat etc from a certain kit pattern, or is it all or nothing? 2. Can you undo overdubs after stacking them in a given loop bank? Thanks in advance!
I have a problem with the vocoder, I plugged in my mic into the jack but the vocoder isn't working. I can hear the static from the mic but my voice or effects are not working. Is there a way to fix this? Please comment.
HI I have a question, I have the ezact same equipment but I was wondering what cable you need to connect the two together, any help appreciated thanks.
@KorgUSAVideos i have a microkorg and a KOPRO with a midi-to-midi usb cable and cant find a way to connect the two. im gonna be getting the 1/4'' to RCA cables, but do i need a mixer for all of this to work? Any help is appreciated.
I NEED HELP!!! How can I plug in together my kaoss pro and my R3?, I don't want to do it by the mic input on the kpro, I have tried but the R3 doesn't sound as I play it... Sorry in advance, I am new at this...
I'm looking for a sampler for recording and playing back loops from different synth and drum units, which would be more appropriate, Kaossilator Pro+, Electribe 2 Sampler, or something else?
I cant seem To record anything useing a microphone, is there something wrong with my machine, I have it on mic input, mic plugged in, and I get no noise from microphone, into system. No matter how I twist trim jobs and volume.
OK, but why it doesn't ask you for how many beats you have to set it??? (1,2,4,8,16) and how long can be the song (you play on piano) to be all recorded??? Greeting.
so much untapped potential. Someone in their 'retro' department, should look at releasing a firmware to address its midi quirks and improve the speed of the sd card. Or release the software source to the public domain for dedicated fans to update themselves.
I have recorded some sounds from the Kaossilator Pro to my Kaoss Pad 3. Works great and the volumelevel stays the same. Now if i play back the same sound (tested without any effects) from the Kaoss Pad 3 to the Kaossilator Pro, the volume is like 4db lower on the Kaossilator Pro as it was originaly. How could this be? Is my Kaossilator Pro broken?
is it possible to connect via midi in my moog minitaur to the midi out of the kaossilator pro? Can i use the kaossilator as a midi sequencer or key? Sorry for my bad english
I wntd to ask smthn!! cn the kaossilator pro get music from my mp3 player and i cn put different effects on that ?? and cn i have it as a deck with my DJ set and cross fade it with another deck??
Nice! So all I need 1 or 2 of the orange and gray cables? Like would this work? www .amazon.com/dp/B01CNMST3C/ref=wl_it_dp_o_p C_S_ttl?_enc odi ng=UTF8&colid=3B595IE9851U6&coliid=I2ZLE6 3SLF 153R&psc=1 Pardon the spacing
The Kaoscillator Pro can't bounce from bank to bank, but surely, if we recorded a loop across three of the banks, we could spit that out of the KaosPro's Line Out, and back INTO it's Line In, in order to bounce the first three banks down to bank D?
im looking for a multitrack looper to loop Bass guitar, electric guitar and a microkorg all at the same time (with the ability to fade in and out on each track). Does anyone know how to do this on the kaossilator pro or if there are better options out there for this? Thanks!
Hi everyone . How to conect my midi keyboard with Kaossilator? Without PC? It Posibility? I wont to play on my keyboard not with tuchpad from Kaossilator. Thanks you veri much
Ok this has been driving me insane and all google results aren't helping. Here's my question: At 04:00 you record audio into the Kaossilator using a microphone, all-the-while moving your finger on the KP. Whenever I record audio input using a mic it simply records it 'clean'. How did you add the effects??? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Should we be making you a video on how to update USB-drivers? Maybe you wouldnt be taking 3+ months to get it done then... It's getting rather bothersome to wait and wait for the gear i've payed good money for to actually work as it's supposed. All because Korg havent bothered to update the damn USB-driver for 10 months and counting...
how do you stop a rec phrase loop timing with out shutting the rec loop button off,, but rather by bar length !!! I can figure this out for the life of me!!! any one knw!! thnx guys.
Chris Sglimbea reason for this is bc if you want to change the loops keys nd bar length to go to a chorus lets say,, its not possible unless u manualy shut off the loop rec button
This guy made a great demo video. Treat him well, Korg. Definitely something I'm adding to me synth rig.
Joey Gage i agree bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏻I’m definitely going to get one as well 🔊🔊🔊Great demonstration 👍
www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/3aeypb/rich_formidoni_is_no_longer_with_korg/ :-(
This guy is a gem. Thorough and personable
As always, Korg provide us really GOOD stuff (kaossilator, micro korg, and historical synth), and some GOOD videos on how to use it !!
Love Korg !!
@Eldel67 Yes, you can connect a guitar. We recommend going through a preamp of some kind first, to get the optimal signal level.
@BassIsCool2005 It's two cables. The first is dual 1/4" male on the microKORG XL's outputs, to dual RCA male on the KOPro's inputs. The other is dual RCA male on the KOPro's outputs, connected to an offscreen mixer.

Now that's how you do a demo
@TehJack0 If the keyboard has a headphone jack, you could try connecting that to the KAOSSILATOR PRO's inputs.
MIDI misery
MIDI compatibility was one of the main features we thought would improve the Kaossilator, so the arrival of MIDI ports on the Pro got us seriously excited. Unfortunately, it doesn't support standard note data. The X-Y coordinates are instead sent and received as CC values, meaning that if you want to play the internal synth instruments using a MIDI controller or DAW you'll need to find a way of converting notes to CC.
@dave498887 It does not record MIDI by itself, but it does transmit the specified key and scale data.
for being so good at this thing mayn
This looks really nifty and fun.
@Kaossilation- Connecting the outputs to the inputs will result in feedback once the volume is raised to a usable level.
@lullaby666 The later programs in the miniKP (the ones that are working for you) are synthesizer programs, and they are the only ones that actually create sounds. The rest of the programs in the miniKP are effect processors, not sounds unto themselves, and they require audio coming into the miniKP's inputs in order to be heard.
4:00 - 4:27 PURE EPICNESS!!!! You should make that into a full song, I've had it stuck in my head for days!!!
I had to turn it off cause my toenails were ripping threw the Carpet from the Pure kringe factor 😮😮.. He's Obviously American .... like yourself 😂😂😂🎉
Yaass thank you for this I need to dust off my KO Pro and bring to my shows and didnt even think about the vocoder very inspiring :)
@kjgilla On the KP3 you'll have to sample onto a new bank, then resample to combine the sounds onto another bank.
Rich, you're a badass!
@DrMalcomProduction That shirt was formerly available on korgusa dot com, but has since been discontinued. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You just made me a very happy man, now that I'm sure I'm gonna buy the Kaossilator pro!
Nice video, this instrument is really awesome :P
i have this and i didnt know u could do all that--damn!!
Haha! Yeah, I sometimes need reminders of what my gear can do also 😆
@Romndragon Just to make sure, you need to be touching the pad while talking into the mic. Also make sure you're using the correct impedence adapter for the microphone, make sure the mic doesn't require phantom power, and check the input level on the front of the KOPro.
Excellent video, I have so much to learn :o) Loving my unit, but I need to practise LOTS!
This is what I've been waiting for..... A BETTER KAOSSILATOR with midi
@NihilQuest Yes, but the sample will be treated as a loop, not as a one-shot.
Excellent, with the Record button I can loop saxophone without taking my hands off the sax. So it cab really be a 4 track looper, with overdubs too. Excellent. 3 days to delivery.
That was great, now i must buy one so i can create
Anybody doing a demo, take note
This is a powerful function.
I STILL haven't got any info on when this will be in stores around here!
Great video this helped a lot
could you connect this with the RC-30 loopstation, and by using what wires???
I wish it showed the first click of a loop somehow. Like the tap button flash could change color for the first clickt of the loop every time or something.
Is it possible to delete only a portion of a loop so if you flub a part you can get rid of the flub and keep the good part?
so this could give me a recording studio (basically) by eliminating a laptop, interface, and software plus give me an awesome beat maker. thank you korg!
Nice, but you can't MIDI-Sync the K-Pro loops to an external sequencer like an Electribe MX?
I just bought one..
But how come my one it dosen't have the airhorn sound from the siren part..is there any help.how to get the siren sound like airhorn one..
great, what you did with only one loop! (why in earth has korg limited this to 16beats...).
Q: you said in external record mode the kpro does not listen to internal sounds... would it be possible to input the kpro lineout to the linein in order to join e.g. loop A and B into bank C? or would it only end in horrible feedback?

Hey Rich... What about quantize
Anyone know why all 4 loop banks (a,b,c,d) blink red but won't turn green after? Or it doesn't record anything at all?
I have a problem with the vocoder, I plugged in my mic into the jack but the vocoder isn't working. I can hear the static from the mic but my voice or effects are not working. Is there a way to fix this? Please comment.
Can u also make your own beat? Like i dnt like it be preset beats. I wanna make my own beat like a drum machine. Is that possible?
merci ,it s a cool demo .
HI I have a question, I have the ezact same equipment but I was wondering what cable you need to connect the two together, any help appreciated thanks.
hey, It is possible to record on KAO sounds from DAV by midi keyboard similarly to autonomous keyboard? If not what solution exists for it ??
@KorgUSAVideos i have a microkorg and a KOPRO with a midi-to-midi usb cable and cant find a way to connect the two. im gonna be getting the 1/4'' to RCA cables, but do i need a mixer for all of this to work?
Any help is appreciated.
If i had a kaossilater pro and a kp3 could i use a keyboardd hooked up to the kaosilater and still record and move to the kp3 from the koasillator?
Whst kind of mic as want one for mine
I NEED HELP!!! How can I plug in together my kaoss pro and my R3?, I don't want to do it by the mic input on the kpro, I have tried but the R3 doesn't sound as I play it... Sorry in advance, I am new at this...
Hey, when I export my wavs fromt he Kaoscillator, why are they at different tempos, and not at the tempos that they are at on the Kaoss??
I'm looking for a sampler for recording and playing back loops from different synth and drum units, which would be more appropriate, Kaossilator Pro+, Electribe 2 Sampler, or something else?
You ended up getting a Electribe 2 Sampler and it works out ok.
I cant seem To record anything useing a microphone, is there something wrong with my machine, I have it on mic input, mic plugged in, and I get no noise from microphone, into system. No matter how I twist trim jobs and volume.
OK, but why it doesn't ask you for how many beats you have to set it??? (1,2,4,8,16)
and how long can be the song (you play on piano) to be all recorded???
Greeting.
Hi,
when in external mode can loop record midi and will it send key and scale
data to external syth?
Can you save the external audio to a SD card?
Brilliant!👍
so much untapped potential. Someone in their 'retro' department, should look at releasing a firmware to address its midi quirks and improve the speed of the sd card. Or release the software source to the public domain for dedicated fans to update themselves.
hi, how many layers of external audio can you record on a single loop bank?
thank you!
saludos desde argentina!
I have recorded some sounds from the Kaossilator Pro to my Kaoss Pad 3.
Works great and the volumelevel stays the same.
Now if i play back the same sound (tested without any effects) from the Kaoss Pad 3 to the Kaossilator Pro, the volume is like 4db lower on the Kaossilator Pro as it was originaly.
How could this be? Is my Kaossilator Pro broken?
Does the KAOSSILATOR support odd beat uneven patterns?
Could you use a midi controller like Axiom to play the KOPro sounds?
Can you save external sound recordings to the unit or memory card?
When sampling with the KP3 can it overdub on the same bank from an external source like this?
is it possible to connect via midi in my moog minitaur to the midi out of the kaossilator pro? Can i use the kaossilator as a midi sequencer or key? Sorry for my bad english
I wntd to ask smthn!! cn the kaossilator pro get music from my mp3 player and i cn put different effects on that ?? and cn i have it as a deck with my DJ set and cross fade it with another deck??
What types of cables are you using to connect the Korg to the kaossilator?
I was wondering the same thing
It's a 1/4 Inch to RCA Dual Cable.
Are those the orange and gray ones? What are the metal ones on the Kaosilator and what are they for?
Yea those are the orange and gray ones. The metal ones are the ones that go to the speakers. I'm pretty sure they're just metal RCA cables.
Nice! So all I need 1 or 2 of the orange and gray cables?
Like would this work? www .amazon.com/dp/B01CNMST3C/ref=wl_it_dp_o_p C_S_ttl?_enc odi ng=UTF8&colid=3B595IE9851U6&coliid=I2ZLE6 3SLF 153R&psc=1 Pardon the spacing
Can i add somme effects in the kaossolator of what i've recorded?
@KorgUSAVideos so i just plug my keyboard into the kaossilator pro? or what?
The Kaoscillator Pro can't bounce from bank to bank, but surely, if we recorded a loop across three of the banks, we could spit that out of the KaosPro's Line Out, and back INTO it's Line In, in order to bounce the first three banks down to bank D?
can you use the gate arp with an external device?
im looking for a multitrack looper to loop Bass guitar, electric guitar and a microkorg all at the same time (with the ability to fade in and out on each track). Does anyone know how to do this on the kaossilator pro or if there are better options out there for this?
Thanks!
Rc300 looper syncs with the Kaossillator pro perfectly through MIDI
can you use a midi keyboard for recording external audio
so, i can make my own music just with this two divices? woah
so this could loop a mic'd up drum kit, running through a mixer and in to the Kaossilator pro?
Yeah why not
i have a microSTATION would it work with the kaossiltor
does anyone know if the analog-digital conversion is 24 bit? i was wondering if i could use one of these with a guitar
Can you input and record an electric guitar?
plug n a condenser mic for acoustic guitar??
Does this have song mode?
Hey there's a problem when I do this with my Korg x50, any help ????;
so i just plug my keyboard in to the kpro? or what?
Hi everyone . How to conect my midi keyboard with Kaossilator? Without PC? It Posibility? I wont to play on my keyboard not with tuchpad from Kaossilator. Thanks you veri much
THANK YOU
im stuck between the kp3 and the pro
yay it is also a vocoder i neeeeeeed!
Can i adjust the recording length? or can i only do it for 8 beats? I saw he somehow got 16 beats. HELPPPPP
Hold shift and hit the loop button. Dial for how many beats.
+Russell Stevens as long as bpm is set to +109 bpm.
Right you are
Ok this has been driving me insane and all google results aren't helping. Here's my question:
