David Battino has documented a boot-up hack that lets you create 4-bar loops with the Korg Kaossilator:
- While holding the Tap and Loop Rec buttons, slide the power switch from Standby to On. The display willl show DLY (delay) to confirm you’re in bufferless mode.
- Release the buttons.
- Hold down Loop Rec and Tap again; this puts the Kaossilator into loop-length adjustment mode.
- Turn the data knob one click to the right. The display will change from L 8 to L16. You’re now in 4-bar (16 beat) loop mode.
- Double-click the Scale button to return to sound-select mode, or just wait 12 seconds.
Follow the link above for Battino’s demo MP3s.
This is an interesting hack, but a hack just the same. If you’re a Kaossilator owner, give this a try and let me know what you think of it.

It worked for me - you get the 4 bars. But it when you are recording it doesn’t give a readout of which beat you are on (so you have to count in your head). Also you can’t store a loop to act as an undo - I’m guessing the hack uses all the available memory for the loop-in-progress.
With memory as cheap as it is, you gotta wonder why Korg couldn’t spring for enough for 4 stinking bars!
Big thanks for this tip. I’ve been wondering how to do that!
