Jordan Rudess plays KORG Kaossilator Pro at NAMM show 2010

[cvesseytoo]

Check out Denkitribe's stuff. I agree, this demo was poorly recorded - the intent was to do a live demo, and maybe it sounded good to those at the venue - but the camera's audio does nothing to sell the unit.

I have the original KAOSSilator; the KO-PRO is on its way. The sounds are fully, rich and thick - it is true KORG sound. The big advantages of PRO are:  SD storage, four loop banks, double the sounds, bigger XY pad, external/mic input and vocoder, and (of course) MIDI.

Just don't see the Kaossilator Pro as that big a leap from the cheap bog standard Kaossilator. Better off with a cheap Synth and KP3.

I dont know about you guys but the audio on this demonstration really bites big time... not only that but the Video could also use some cleaning up too.. I give this one a 3 out of 10 for both Audio & Video.

[KANADIAN0007]

I dont know about you guys but the audio on this demonstration really bites big time... You can hardly hear what he's saying...

Maybe you can try again and this time find someone who knows stuff about Sound and Video too... the picture quality is very low quality.

rotf, jordan rudess demoes almost everything korg and roland sell, and always says "this is cool, that is cool"

this demo really sucks

[Eclipsepoland]

cool toy

[666jony666]

Anybody think he'll use it for dream theater ? lol

[Chakizzle]

haha, finally i found something i do better than Mr Rudess

Stick to the keyboards man!!

[IRBaboonVideo]

Stupid question I know but...why is there a guy providing a demo who doesn't seem to have ever actually used a Kaossilator pad before?

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@IRBaboonVideo I think the kaossilator pro is just too new an instrument, and Jordan Rudess is probably more comfortable with a conventional keyboard anyway. He is after all a veritable vituoso, which you have to be, if you play the keys for Dream Theater.

If you really have time to delve into the possibilities of an instrument like the kaossilator, you can create quite complex stuff, even with the predecessor.

@IRBaboonVideo

because its jordan rudess, every1 loves him so when a company can get a hold of him they use him, even if his demo sucks everyone goes 'hey jordan rudess uses it it must be good'

[AgentOfKaoss]

@IRBaboonVideo Jordan Rudess is probably the best keyboard player alive, so its only natural to let him demo an instrument like the Ko 1 Pro. The problem is that the Kaossilator Pro had just left the prototype stage and Jordan didn't have enough tim to familiarize himself with it. My guess is that this must have been the first time, he ever actually used the thing. the K Pro is easy to learn, but it takes some practice before you can play complex stuff.

[geofferd]

Is it just me or was that demo far below normal standards for korg and mr jordan rudess. Those sounds were awful sorry! Stock presets really sound cheap :( maybe with exception of drums but without velocity not great. Please try before u buy

[AgentOfKaoss]

@geofferd Well you can't judge the sounds of the machine, when its is recorded via a cheap camera mike. Note that this is picked up from a PA with lots of background noise. Footage from the NAMM and Musikmesse usually is, so the sound quality is bound to be abysmal. You should listen to vids where the Kaossilator is recorded directly to Pc- its a totally different experience :-)

[TheKaniq94]

can i sell the cat ? ^^

in my country i can buy it on 8th march loosers ahahahaa xD

[Electromachines]

Just sold my car to buy one :) Pre- ordered and was told to expect it 26th-28 of march.

Cant wait!!

[NuclearLullaby]

It doesn't come out 'till April ,but you can preorder on MOST sites that carry Korg gear!

[GrumlingKinchIII]

why dont you just buy it directly from KORG?

[hereosinerror]

because korg is just a manurfacturing company, it doesn't actually sell stuff, shame too, all the actual shop that sell korg the prices have gone through the roof, but not online which is ok i s'pose...

[GrumlingKinchIII]

@hereosinerror

ah... I see

[tilerxy]

This face is all around :-)

[thieum]

ebay

[noopa]

No luck on ebay :( thanks anyways :)

[noopa]

Anyone know a site I can buy this off that also ships to australia?

[robertcuthbert]

musiciansfriend?

[noopa]

No luck on that site either :(

they have everything but the Kaossilator pro :(

thanks anyways :D

[thieum]

you'll probably have to wait until it is commercialised

[hereosinerror]

that is a fancy word and everything, but the sentence is a bit random- its like saying i want a house, yeh, but you'll have to wait for it to be built.
