so, jamming with my kaossilator today, some of the drum-patterns suddenly changed the pre-set beat-synced delay time, so that the effect of the delay is no longer what was intended (it uses delay to make certain beats possible). so.. I can't make that rythm I just played. strange stuff.. anyone else experiencing this? and yes, I turned it on and off several times, no change.. my Microkorg also did this at times, slightly annoying on the MK, but atleast you could program it back, which you can't on the kaossilator.. hmr..

Since the Kaossilator has no permanent memory, I think you may just be a bit confused about how you got the beat you did. Did you set the BPM the same? Are you sure? Was the arpeggiator on? Are you using the same pattern? Did you do an overdub on the looper? Overdubs are sensitive to the timing of the loop, and it may be very hard to reproduce an overdubbed pattern unless you figure out the exact timing you previously used.

no no no, I've done the same rythm a lot of times, it's a basic jungle-kind of feel and I know exactly how to make it. Today I played with the kaossilator again, and this time it works. there was a noticable change in delay (from 3/16ths to 4/16ths) in several patterns yesterday, but they all worked like before again today. there were no overdubs, no change in tempo, no arp on, just a most basic 8 bar loop with program 99.

haven't been able to reproduce the phenomenon yet, but will record a 8 loop bar with the exact same pattern to show the difference next time (if at all) it happens.
