Korg Kaossilator Pro. Video 5 Of Many. The Learning Curve Continued

Korg Kaossilator Pro Video 5 of many. The Learning Curve. In this video I continue on the journey of learning how to use this gadget. I show the misunderstandings, screw-ups and frustrations. Eventually I'd like to get to a respectable level of competence. In doing these videos, I'm hoping they show how learning a new 'instrument' isn't as easy as it seems unless you have others there to help you or, you attend a music educational establishment.

Congrats on getting this far, I like the mix of "key", something I know nothing about so I tend to stick to one key. This has helped me a little in realising that I can mix "key" during a session.

@samartini1 Thank u4 your kind words. I'm pleased that you've been able to derive something new from me! It makes me feel better that it's not all one. I love it when someone learns something new from my videos. The key scale issue will give you another facet to your creativity. If you thing of any MAJOR scale and go to its 6th note. Start the scale from that point and you have its relative natural minor scale. Then, use the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 7th notes of this new scale and it's the Penta.

I enjoy these. I got a kaossilator pro back in November and I still can't use it right. I don't know if you've explained anything you've learned on timing the looping? When I record its always on like, beat 7 of the loop or something crazy. How do you personally keep it straight?

@Zelamir that's because rhythm has no key. it is like this because this is like on a keyboard when you play the drum kits, percussion sounds come out, not notes. they do this for simplicity. basically with the rhythm scales don't matter.

[grymmtymm]

@Topdoginuk or you could say, on a piano keyboard, hit the root of any major scale, drop down two notes, and there is the relative minor. for example play C major drop down two notes, you're at A. So A is the relative minor of C major. Doing this on a piano keyboard makes it much easier to see this.

@Topdoginuk Not quite, the original KAOSSILATOR was released in 2007.

Great vids! Love to get one of those!

Two remarks:

1) Im with Zelamir on the rhythm "in the key of C major": it doesn't really matter what key it's in. I hope to learn more in your next vids (you seem to know more about scales than I do!)

2) did you notice that when you select a sound or drum kit, the "big green letters" scroll and tell you the name of the instrument or drumkit? ;)

Keep it up! Love watching this! (it's 02:30 in the morning and I can't stop watching!!)

@CoffeeShopification The original Kaossilator seems to have been out quite a few years. Perhaps even in the '90s. This Pro version was released recently. A couple months ago. It has the ability to create sounds spanning many genres and ages. It's the artists creative ability that's the marriage in a partnership with this gadget. The KaosPro is merely the slave tool that's willing to obey its Master. From this duet we hope to spawn new sounds & styles!

Maybe I'm missing something here: at the beginning of this video, when you are talking about C major scale, I can just hear a rhythm without any tonal material in C major. Then you switch to A minor Penta to add two solos to the rhythm. I understand the idea to merge scales, which is a very good creative approach, but here I can't hear the effect, because I cannot hear any material in C major (apart from the fact, that A minor has the same tonal material as C major). What am I missing? Thanks.
