Does anyone know if these are the same as the Korg mini-KPs? They seem to have been released only in Japan and maybe the UK (they're on the Korg UK site). They look exactly the same to me. The mini-KPs are also on on the Korg UK site.
Link here. |

They use the Radius engine to make synth patches you control with the X/Y pad. If you're looking for an effects unit I think you would want the mini-KP. |

Then again, it's disappointing there's no midi control for the Koassilator. I've been looking for a standalone arpeggiator for a bit and this is so close... Here's a good youtube video.
phew, GAS is gone for this one.
