Common kaossilator 2S Questions
How do I save my custom patterns and kits on the Kaossilator 2S?
To save a pattern, hold SHIFT and tap the pattern number pad. To save a full kit (oscillator type, scales, effects), hold SHIFT and tap the KIT button, then choose a save slot using the pad and tap the same pad again to confirm.
I'm trying to sync the Kaossilator 2S with my DAW using MIDI, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
Ensure the Kaossilator 2S MIDI clock setting is set to 'External' in the Global settings menu and that your DAW is sending MIDI clock data to the Kaossilator 2S's MIDI input via a USB or MIDI cable. Also, check your DAW's MIDI output settings to ensure the Kaossilator 2S is selected as the output device.
The sound from my Kaossilator 2S is distorted or cutting out unexpectedly. What could be the problem?
Check the overall volume level and individual oscillator levels, as excessive gain staging can cause distortion; also ensure the headphone jack or line output is securely plugged in to avoid signal dropouts. Try reducing the volume on the Kaossilator itself first, then reduce volume on speakers or connected audio interfaces to troubleshoot volume clipping issues.
How do I loop record phrases on the Kaossilator 2S to build up more complex sequences?
Engage the loop recording function by pressing the LOOP button, then play your phrase over the currently selected pattern. The Kaossilator 2S will automatically loop the recorded phrase until the LOOP button is pressed again to stop recording.
What's the best way to use the 'Gate Arpeggiator' feature for creating rhythmic patterns?
Select the Gate Arpeggiator in the effects menu, then adjust the 'Gate Time' and 'Step' parameters to control the length and spacing of the arpeggiated notes generated from your finger movements on the touchpad. Experiment with different oscillator types and scales for diverse rhythmic results.
