KORG Kaoscillator Easter Egg

via TrondC on VSE:
"yup, you heard me Smile got this tip on the "kaossimilation" facebook-group, and thought I'd share

the trick:
press and hold down the Tap/BMP and the Loop Rec/Play as you turn the kaossilator on, and "dly" will appear on the little screen. release the buttons and it turns on like normal. then, set the loop length, and you will see there is now a 16 bar mode Smile a very fun feature, but for some reson there's no counter when you record anymore, which means you'll need to listen carefully to follow the loop length. Also, it won't let you overdub if you release the rec button, probably the feature takes up all of it's memory..

anyway, thought this was a fun thing to share, to breathe new life into your kaossilators"
