You can make synthesizer sounds, drum beats and even create your own funky techno music pieces all with your very own fingers. Think of the hours of fun you could have creating your own sound effects and music tracks. I can’t think of a better way to avoid work. Granted the boss might not like it but then you can play the Darth Vadar theme every time he comes towards you with a disapproving look.

“The moment we ran our fingers over the touchpad of the Kaossilator and heard the otherworldly sounds of the future we were hooked. This pocket sized music synthesizer is like nothing we’ve seen before. Rather than using keys or buttons to play musical notes, the Kaossilator features a revolutionary touchpad design. Move your finger from left to right to change the pitch of the note, and up and down to change the sound. But musical sounds are only the beginning, the Kaossilator can also be used like a drum kit with dozens of built in beats and drum sounds. Plus you get some amazing sound effects from laser blasts to Pac Man. You can put everything to good use with the built-in loop recording feature which lets you layer virtually unlimited tracks to create complex songs combining lead instruments, drum beats and sound effects together.”
