## Detaching the back cover Here's how to detach the back cover from the kaossilator 2 so that you can replace the batteries or insert and remove the memory card. ##### Detaching the cover Press the lock button to release the back cover lock. Slide the kaossilator 2 toward yourself and separate it from the cover.

##### Attaching the cover Fit the tabs of the back cover into the upper part of the kaossilator 2, and close the cover until you hear the lock button click.

##### Replacing the batteries The battery icon displays the remaining battery level. Install fresh batteries when the level runs low. Insert two AA batteries, making sure that they are oriented in the correct polarity. Turn off the power before you replace the batteries. The speaker volume will decrease according to the remaining battery level. When the batteries run low, it will not be possible to record to the memory card. Unusable batteries should be removed immediately. You should also remove the batteries if you do not expect to be using the kaossilator 2 for an extended period of time. TIP Battery life will be extended if you enable the power conservation feature. TIP If you use nickel-metal hydride batteries, change the utility menu BATTERY TYPE setting to "Ni-MH." ##### Inserting or removing a memory card You can use a memory card to record your performance, and to save or load data. You can also use the kaossilator 2 to play back audio files (WAV format) that you've copied from a computer. 1. Make sure that the screen and all LEDs are unlit, and that the power is off. 2. Insert the memory card into the slot until you hear it click into place. 3. To remove the memory card, press it into the slot until you hear it click, and then release your finger. 4. The memory card will pop out part-way, allowing you to pull it out. When inserting a memory card, make sure that it is oriented correctly and that the correct side is facing upward, and insert it all the way into the slot, being careful not to use excessive force. Do not insert or remove a memory card while the kaossilator 2 is powered-on. Doing so may damage the data in the kaossilator 2 or on the card, or it may render the memory card unusable. ##### Formatting A memory card that has been previously used by a computer, a mobile phone, or a digital camera might not be immediately usable by the kaossilator 2 in that state. In order to use such a card, it must first be formatted by the kaossilator 2. $ ^{2} $ Formatting will erase the entire contents of the memory card. $ ^{2} $ Never turn off the power or remove the memory card while recording or formatting is taking place. ##### Memory cards that can be used The kaossilator 2 can use 512 MByte–2 GByte microSD cards, and microSDHC cards up to 16 GBytes. TIP The kaossilator 2 cannot use SDXC cards. TIP For more details on recommended memory cards that are known to work with the kaossilator 2, please refer to the Korg website (http://www.korg.com). ##### Memory card handling Carefully read and observe the instructions that accompany your memory card. TIP A memory card is not included. You will need to purchase one separately. ## Connections

While holding down one of the loop buttons (I or II), perform on the touchpad. Your performance on the touchpad will be recorded while you hold down the loop button. During recording, the loop button will light up red. Even when the specified number of beats have been recorded, loop recording will continue, allowing you to overdub onto the previously-recorded phrase. ##### Adjusting the note timing ### Loop recording ARP SWING: This specifies how the timing of the notes will be adjusted. You can adjust this from a straight 16-beat to a shuffle rhythm. 2. When you release the loop button, the loop button indicator will turn green; recording will end, and the recorded phrase will continue playing as a loop. 3. During playback, you can hold down the loop button and use the touchpad to overdub onto the phrase that's currently playing. 4. If you press the loop button during loop playback, playback will stop, and the loop button indicator will blink green. 5. If you press the loop button while stopped, the recorded phrase will start playing as a loop, and the loop button indicator will light up green. TIP While stopped, you can hold down the loop button and use the touchpad to overdub from the beginning of the phrase that was previously recorded. #### Recording audio input You can record the audio from the built-in mic of the kaossilator 2 or from a mic connected to the kaossilator 2. 1. While holding down the MIC ON/OFF button, use the volume buttons to adjust the input volume. 2. While continuing to hold down the MIC ON/OFF button, press the loop button to start recording. The phrase will be recorded while you continue holding down the loop button. 3. When you want to stop recording, release the loop button. ## Adjusting the volume balance between two loops 1. Hold down the FNC button to access the LOOP FADER page. 2. Use the VALUE slider to adjust the balance. TIP You can use the VALUE slider as a crossfader. #### Specifying the length of the phrase While holding down the loop button of the phrase whose length you want to change, use the VALUE slider. The recording/play-back length of the phrase that you're editing will be shown in the display. TIP The length of the phrase you can record is limited to a maximum of four beats when the BPM value is 37.5–74.9, and to a maximum of two beats when the BPM value is 20.0–37.4. TIP This item can also be edited from within the setup menu. ##### Partially erasing a recorded phrase While the phrase plays back, hold down the loop button and press the DEL button; the portion of the phrase that plays while you're holding down the DEL button will be deleted. TIP When you hold down the loop button and press the DEL button during playback, the previously-recorded phrase will be erased during the time you hold down the DEL button, allowing you to replace it with a newly recorded phrase. #### Deleting an entire phrase 1. Press the DEL button. The DELETE LOOP page will appear. 2. Press the loop button for the loop you want to delete. If you want to delete both loops, press both loop buttons. The phrase will be deleted. #### Saving or loading data Settings and loop recorder data can be saved on a memory card. By loading this data later, you can reproduce the previous state that you saved. ##### Saving to a memory card TIP You can also access LOOP LOAD/SAVE by holding down the FNC button and pressing the loop (I or II) button. 1.
