With its revolutionary touchpad design, the Kaossilator Touchpad Synthesizer ($199) is truly a one-of-a-kind gadget. Rather than using keys or buttons to play musical notes, the Kaossilator features a revolutionary touchpad design that allows you to move your finger from left to right to change the pitch of the note, and up and down to change the sound. This portable synthesizer gives even beginners the ability to effortlessly create danceable beats. Using only four AA batteries, this product offers over 100 sound programs, 31 scale programs, and Loop Recording allows multiple phrase overdubbing to create complete grooves.

For the more experienced disc jockey, the Kaossilator allows you to tap your finger to the beat of any existing music, setting the beats per minute and then you can play along with all your beat loops in sync. You can even change the key you play in, choose from different scales, and you get tons of different patterns.
