AC adapter Confusion

I recently bought a Korg Kaossilator and it's coming in the mail. I want to purchase an AC adapter for it before it comes but I don't know which adapter to get. The Korg website doesn't specify which adapter to get. There's the KA193 and the KA196. The 193 has a smaller, yellow tip on the end, and the 196 has the more common larger black tip. I don't know which kind of tip is right. Different websites say different.

Could someone that has a Kaossilator with an adapter tell me what kind of tip is on their adapter.

My mini-KP (which i believe is more or less the same hardware as the kaosillator), has a very small socket. I have various multi-adaptors but don't think any of the ones I currently have will fit.
It is also important to note that it must be either 4.5 volts or be able to choose 4.5 volts, and more importantly it is centre-positive whereas a lot of stuff is centre negative. This just means that the central pin is positive and the sleeve is negative, rather than the other way around.

I use this one on both my Mini KP and Kaossilator -
