'Gum Drop Giveaway #91

One winner takes home (and hopefully makes good use of) the Kaossilator. Not sure what it does exactly? Let Korg explain:

The Kaossilator is a new pocket-sized sketch pad that puts a world of sounds and effects in the palm of your hand. Instantly create and play phrases by simply tapping or sliding a finger across the touch pad. And infinitely stack phrases to create musical works as simple or complex as you desire! The portable, travel-friendly Kaossilator runs on batteries or a 4.5v adapter. Use the Kaossilator as a multi-instrumental musical instrument, sample source, live rig addition, or just a fun way to get your groove on!

For those of you who do better with pictures, here's a picture:

Matt & Kim are no strangers to Korg. Of course, when Matt & Kim went out and got naked, they didn't have any Korgs with them, but Matt had the following to say about the company's products:

When I was a kid, before I ever played keyboards, I once heard a Korg Poly 800 in a friend's basement. Seven years later, when I started playing keyboard, I still remembered how bad ass and thick it sounded, so I bought my first Korg. Since then, we've used one on almost every song we've recorded.

You can learn more about Korg at the official site.
