Looks like there will be a Mini KP2 announced as well judging by the teaser image. Would have liked them all in one to be honest.

not sure what to think about these yet....
obviously we need more info, the specs on the kaossilator2 and minikp2 arent enough. One thing to note is the kaossilator 2 has an mic input, and the specs mention a sampling frequency, so Im guessing it now has that feature?

just an FYI, 615 just got updated, so they are posting these new products as we speak!

so the new kaossilator looks like you can store and fade between 2 rhythms
and the new mini kp has a play button...which makes me think it can record or play back loops, or maybe even effect motion!
and both have mic inputs...so I am guessing we will be able to insert external audio and possibly even record it and play it back!

Yeah, my initial thought as well. Not crazy about the design at all.
Number of things intrigue me about the kaossilator 2 on first glance:
* Are the "I" and "II" two different tracks that can be turned on and off?
* The move to stereo mini jack out, should be more helpful as I am always misplacing my RCAs to whatever cables.
* Is the -...........+ slider volume? Something else?
* I like the display showing the name/type of synth. No need to look at reference chart.
* SD card!
* Mic line in!
Both of these will be instant buys.
