The inspiringly creative Kaossilator comes to iPhone!

Korg has revolutionized the musical instrument world with their dynamic line of Kaoss products, using an intuitive X-Y pad to provide expressive musical control. The palm-sized KAOSSILATOR synthesizer placed modern music-making in the hands of thousands of musicians and non-musicians alike. Now that same excitement has been captured in the iKaossilator app for iPhone!

[Highlights] ● Play sounds by simply stroking, tapping, or rubbing the screen with your finger ● Bold Visual Effects move along with your performance and add excitement ● 150 diverse built-in sounds cover any style of dance music ● Scale/Key settings allow anyone to perform with musical precision ● Easily create tracks with the loop sequencer using up to five parts ● Control loops in real time for DJ-Style live performances ● Audio Export records and saves your performance, just as you heard it ● SoundCloud allows users to share and remix loops with other users worldwide ● WIST capability allows wireless sync-start with other music apps ● AudioCopy/AudioPaste Support ● Audio Loop Import ● Seamless operation in tandem with the Kaossilator 2

■ Perform Using A Single Finger iKaossilator uses the unique X-Y interface made famous by Korg’s entire Kaoss Line, including the original hand-held KAOSSILATOR. Create melodies and phrases simply by stroking, tapping, or rubbing the touch screen with your finger; no musical knowledge is required.

■ Bright, Colorful Visual Effects iKaossilator is also focused on its graphic design, which shows up beautifully on the iPhone's high-quality display. The visual effects on the iPhone's display move along with your performance and add excitement. These bold, colorful graphics provide an exciting performance experience.

■ 150 Diverse Sounds Covering Many Musical Styles Use the 150 built-in sounds to perform and produce a broad range of dance music styles including hip-hop, house, techno, dubstep, nu-disco, and electro. Enjoy the synth leads and synth bass sounds you expect from a synthesizer. The drum sounds let you play and manipulate various patterns simply by moving your finger.

■ Loop Sequencer The built-in loop sequencer lets you layer up to five musical parts. To create a track, simply assign a loop such as synth, bass, chords, sound effects, or drums to each part. Fifty loops created by professional musicians are built-in to help you get started quickly. In addition to its track-making capabilities, this loop sequencer is also a great feature for live performance. The Mix Play feature makes it easy to enjoy live remixing; you can switch seamlessly to another loop or extract a specific part from another loop while the playback continues.

■ Audio Export You can record your performance in real time, or export a completed loop as an audio file. By sending your creations to a Mac or PC via iTunes, you can share them with your friends or use them in a full-fledged music production. You can also upload them directly to SoundCloud.

■ Share Loops on SoundCloud n online audio platform that's very popular among musical creators. The loops you create can be uploaded directly to SoundCloud from within the app. If you attach the loop data, it will be shared to other users' loop lists. Users worldwide will be exposed to new loops they've never heard, and can combine them with their own loops to create remixes. It's a new way of enjoying music by and unleashing your iKaossilator’s potential throughout the world. ∗ When using SoundCloud, you must observe SoundCloud Ltd.'s terms of use, such as the prohibition on uploading songs whose copyright is the property of a third party.

WAS really good
     
by Calambreees · January 18, 2023

The app used to be really good but has been forgotten by Korg, no updates have been made in years so is slow and not working properly

Gate arp please. Will change review.
     
by Eve Severe · May 19, 2026

I own four versions of the hardware. A Kaossilator, a Kaossilator 2, a Kaoss pad, and the new NTS1 Kaoss. All of the Kaossilators have a gate Arp -except this app -which I have owned since day one and I have contacted Korg at least 15 times regarding this and have updated my review many times. Why can’t they add one? Why is it so hard? Make it an in app purchase and I will buy it. Don’t get me wrong- Kaossilators are all touch screen so it isn’t a huge leap for a touch device and they pulled it off well except for the arp. They even allowed the option of turning of the flashing lights as requested by many users they never listened when users asked for an arp. Gate arp! The 13 th year in a row I have requested.... please!! I did pay full price for this app when it came out, which was quite a bit to pay for an app that many years ago. Come on Korg don’t abandon this app… it still was in the top 200 so people are using it and I paid 20 bucks for this app in the mid 2000s. Actually, it was one of the most expensive apps back then and I own every single app you guys make +15 pieces of your hardware. Add some more sounds in an in app purchase and a gate Arp please

Fun app but I need help
     
by projerry26 · October 15, 2024

If one of the developers could help me with something I would greatly appreciate it. Had a lot of fun playing on this app, but I got a new phone and I don’t know how to get the tracks from my iPhone X to my iPhone 13. I understand that I probably can get Ableton and do it that way, but is there anyway I can get it from phone to phone without downloading or buying Ableton? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Like other reviews have said it’s not incredibly intuitive but once you play around with the app for an hour or so it’s a lot of fun and a generated some great ideas.

Please add arpeggiator!
     
by Потенциальный юзер · July 8, 2023

The app is great! I like it much better than Kaossilator-2. Please add an arpeggiator to make it the best!

No mixer?
     
by whyshouldi? · January 26, 2026

See, that’s a complaint I totally agree with. Otherwise, for free (?) it’s pretty good.

Needs update
     
by Liam14 · February 15, 2023

Seconding the previous review, this used to be a lot of fun when I was a kid but is almost obsolete now. Crazy lag. In need of an update! I’ll bump this up when it gets one 🙏

Tastes Great. Less Filling
     
by digarts2020 · July 3, 2026

Huh. Wish I could record my voice into this. It’s still amazing without my voice.

Best music app ever
