The last 10 programs are complete rhythm-patterns, but since percussion sounds are included in the programs, users can develop their own rhythm-patterns by layering multiple overdubbed sounds. Programs are indicated only by a letter-and-two-digit designation on the

It is possible to overcome the two-bar limit as the
Kaossilator records audio to memory. To do this the user sets the tempo to the desired value – 150 for example – and records his part. The tempo is then set to exactly half the tempo of before, in this case 75. When played back one hears the first

An updated version of the
Kaossilator 2 was introduced at NAMM 2015. The Kaossilator 2S adds unlimited undo, redo and support for importing loops into Ableton Live. All loops on the Micro SD card are WAV files available as a mix, as well as separate tracks. The Kaossilator 2S eliminates the second

similar to those of laptop computers. For most sounds, moving horizontally on the touchpad changes the pitch over a range of two octaves (in one case, only one octave; for several sounds the range is much more than two octaves). For some sounds, horizontal movement affects a non-pitch parameter.

An updated
Kaossilator was unveiled at the 2012 NAMM Show, with 150 programs, two sound-banks, a save for audio files on a microSD card, master recorder for recording performances, built-in microphone and speaker, and touch-slide with + and - step buttons instead of a knob. The Kaossilator 2 was

and a loop function that allows the layering of instruments to produce loops. The loop recording function is somewhat limited, as the maximum length is two bars in 4/4 time. Despite this limitation, some artists have recorded full-length albums with the
Kaossilator.

A software-only version is available as an application for Apple's iPhone and iPad. The iKaossilator offers 150 sounds, a 5-track loop sequencer, scale/key settings, WIST support and the ability to save/resume an ongoing project but does not have an arpeggiator.

Another way to fully overcome the two-bar limit is by powering up the
Kaossilator while holding down the Tap and Loop Rec buttons. Doing this will make four bars available (by setting the Loop Length to 16), but this disables the Undo function
