Evening all,

Without meaning to tell you my life story, I've been pretty ill recently and I'm not often in full 'sit at my DAW workstation' mode ... I was looking something portable to play with for hospital visits, sofa hours ... etc ...

The Kaosillator Pro looks like a lot of fun and I could really see myself getting into it ...

BUT ... I'm really hazy on DAW intergration. For example, I kinda envisenged that when I do get back to my DAW, I'd like to create linear songs that use my standard VSTi's etc ... and have parts for the KP (which I could jam on etc)

But I'm hearing things like the midi clock doesn't respond to start/stop from the external DAW clock.

I really need to clarify if people are using this kit with their DAW, or is it really just a stand-alone piece of kit.

Thanks so much,

S.S.

buy it, you wont regret it

re. daw intergration.. there aint that much

but you can export .wavs out of it.. to use in your daw

I may not be 100% correct on this, but I think that when hooked to a computer the only thing synced is the tempo. The triggering of the loop banks/start of your loops are not synced. The manual mentions that you can send touch pad on/off messages via cc number. It also states that there are note on/off messages that can be sent for the loop bank buttons. However, I don't think that will turn them on and off? Since even in 'normal' mode the loop bank buttons actually send midi note data to external devices. I haven't tested this theory, so perhaps someone can shed some light on it.
