A touchpad synthesizer built around live looping, with 250 sound programs and four loop banks. Sakamaki handled product planning for KAOSSILATOR PRO+.

Horizontal touch movement controls pitch and vertical movement changes the sound. Scale and note-range settings guide the performance, while the gate arpeggiator adds rhythmic articulation.

Four banks record played phrases, overdubs and external audio. Switching between banks turns the recorded material into an arrangement that can be developed and reshaped during performance.
