Re: new "toy" for me: korg kaoss pad

I'll take some credit!

I love my KAOSS pad.  My wife loved my first one so much she stole it 
from me.  Forced me to have to get the KAOSS II (OK, she did buy it for 
me for Christmas, cuz she's sweet that way) but I still barrow her 
KAOSS sometimes for extra extra loop mangeling.

The thing about the KAOSS II that makes it such a beautiful looper is 
that the sample function is available *all the time* and you've got two 
of them.  This means you can sample in any patch you want and use that 
patch to effect the sample while it loops.  I did a whole show with Das 
(I think he should have won crankiest LD member.  Is he still here?) 
and the Big City Orchestra gang using only KAOSS pads and some homemade 
instruments.  Was really fun.
