Can you record/save your own loops on the Kaossilator?
Can you, or would I have to buy a regular Kaoss pad to do that?
Actually, you can overdub in 16 or 8 beat modes.
Yes, you can save loops and restore them to temporary memory. As pierlo said, you lose the loop when you turn it off.
However, in the normal 8 beat mode, you can the save loop (called FIX), loop overdub on top of it, and then restore back to the saved loop (called Cancel), and then finally delete the saved loop with Clear. You do this by holding down the loop record button while turning the Knob to the right until you see the commands above. This is useful for having two layers of loops at the same time. Unfortunately, the music stops when you use these save features, so they're less useful for live music. The KaossPad 3 is better for layering with its four sample pad and sampling doesn't stop the music.
You lose the save function when you go into 16 beat mode because the RAM is used for the whole loop, leaving none left for saving.
