Kaossilator Music Synthesizer

The Kaossilator music synthesizer ditches keys and buttons when it comes to playing musical notes, relying instead on a revolutionary touchpad design.

Move your finger from left to right to change the pitch of the note, and up and down to change the sound. But musical sounds are only the beginning, the Kaossilator can also be used like a drum kit with dozens of built in beats and drum sounds. Plus you get some amazing sound effects from laser blasts to Pac Man. You can put everything to good use with the built-in loop recording feature which lets you layer virtually unlimited tracks to create complex songs combining lead instruments, drum beats and sound effects together.

$199.99 for the Kaossilator makes this a purchase meant for serious musicians only as well as those who want to experiment while casual folks ought to move aside.
