Another boost in expressive power is provided by the new Note Range function, which lets you specify the range of pitches available on the touchpad from a single octave up to eight octaves.Gate Arpeggiator provides tightly sync'ed grooves

Comments about Korg KOPRO Kaossilator Pro Sampler/ Loop Recorder:
I had the kaoss pad 3 for a short time before I learned about the release of the Kaossalator pro. I was on the waiting list and I've had it for a few weeks now.
This is more of an instrument than a toy. If you are coming to it new it's really amazing.
The touch interface is nearly perfect. The sample quality is excellent. It seamlessly integrates tempo with sounds, and the synth sounds are pretty rad. The are 20 drum loops, and a bunch of kits.
The down side is that you still cant make and save your own sounds or drum beats. You can edit the way the sounds change, but you can't make and save new soundscapes.
