I'm surprised that nobody else has posted this yet? If they have and I've missed it then I do apologise.

Dunno if I want the new mini kaossilator, but the new mini kp2 would probably play nicely with my k-pro and my mixer.

I'm also pretty sure the effects will be much better than I get in ssl and itch at the moment.

edit - this post seems to be invisible? errrmmm

Holy hog tying meat rack batman I want both! The YT vids KORG posted are pretty cool.

MSRP of $220 from one source reporting at NAMM.

160$ was told as street price
220$ is MSRP (well, i guess it is more close to the price in Europe)

If Korg expects these to sell well, it will have to be under 200. I dont recall how much the original Kaossilators were when they first arrived, but as these are essentially the same devices (but with several new features), realistically it should be close to the original price point.

EDIT: I was just watching a video on yt and a korg spokesperson confirmed 160usd.

160 street sounds about right given the msrp. I will probably buy both. Perfect for my travels.

They haven't mentioned loop duration yet. Probably because it's embarrassingly short. New sounds, old features, anemic looping. I hope I'm wrong.
