HALLO!
the serious reason i am asking for this device is about to use it at live performances!Iam a drumer so i need it as support!
I mean...For example,could i add a big sample at wav. format (about 4 minutes song) save it at the device and then at a live performance,pushing a button,the song starts to play and then i put drums,the guitarist his guitar,bass,strings etc (using SD card and ear speakers of course)????
So can the device play a large wav. file or the track will be trimed or dont work??

Sorry for my bad english
i hope you understand me and help!
Thanx

No unfortunately not. The maximum length of a sample you could load is 16 beats (4 bars) at a minimum of 108.5 bpm, so unless my maths is out that makes just under 9 seconds before it loops.

sounds like you want a tape player if you are looking to play full songs behind your drums

Most MP3 players can handle wav files and would be able to do the type of thing you describe.

What about a Roland SP-404, you can fit a lot of full tracks on it. Might be worth a look.

do some research on:
Roland Sp-404
Korg MicroSampler
Akai MPC-500

you might find one of the above second hand for a reasonable price

Definatly i bought a used kaossilator in a magic price and i feel very proud!
So i can say that it can be used for live performances but it cant give you as many as the roland device you say above!

I would say that Kaossilator pro is a lovely music Gadjet
