The palm-sized synthesizer has a touchpad, which means it has a touch slider, and microSD data slot for saving your recorded beats. There is a built-in speaker and microphone, and boasts dual look recording banks for creating complex loops.

For anyone who isn't technologically-inclined, although it seems complex, the official introduction video released by Korg makes it look pretty simple. Additionally, the sleek yellow and black design of the Korg Kaossilator 2 even gives it the look of a smartphone, making it super portable.
