So on the KO-1, the best part for me was cutting up your loops. So once you enables the 16-beat mode, any changes to loop length would be recorded and "saved" unto the loop. This allowed for cool cutting effects and even like "plucking" for example a specific 4 beat part, if you set the loop length ...

it can definitely be done smoothy. as the little beat counter bar starts, click the bottom of L.23 and then quickly glitch/change the beat loop to 1/8( or whatever) and back to 8 before the beat counter bar would have reached the first beat again. if done within that time, the glitch/cutting will be ...

With KO-1

I have 14 random original tracks up there, each quite different.



My favorite is Sundunk.
To me it envokes an image of a lost astronaut marooned on an insane desert planet - as his oxygen level keeps dropping.

With the KO-2 I focused more on making experimental/original beats for me and my buddy to freestyle upon.

IN contrast the KO-1 was pure off-time experimental melodic stuff. I'll post a bit of both.

Sure, i'll post some later today!

Well i can't use it yet, since two of my ko-2s have broken down seemingly without explanation (except shoddy manufacturing)

Amasing! This is the kinda stuff this forum is for!

Of course, I've tried ALL types of batteries. Rechargable, regular Duracells, Lithiums. Cannot believe they would send stuff like this out. If out of the total number of all manufactured KO-2s, I happened to get two with the same problem.. I can only imagine how many other people this has happened ...

Doesn't turn on, blips the red power light when I hold the power button and that's it. As if the batteries were dead, even though they are brand new. Same problem I had with my first one a couple months ago, and I take good care of these devices. Absolutely ridiculous. Garbage hardware. Why even ...

You can definitely delete Saved Loops or Master Recordings, just laod them up in the Audio Player and press "Delete"

Is there a way around this

Sure thing. This is all KO2 with a bit of Monotron, Monotron Duo & Monotron Delay (really, just a bit). I am cheating a bit by multitrack recording it so I can control the levels of the sounds, but still it's 99% KO2 sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_yM_WZe3XA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ...

Upon loading the merged beat, it is always in 4 beats.

This only works on 4 beats tho

ah i see. yeah i don't think there's a way to turn off a bank without taking your finger off the pad
