The Fun Part: Getting Crazy with Kaleidoloops

The KALEIDOLOOP is great for experimenting. We’re hoping that you will ﬁnd sounds loud and quiet,

simple and complex to record, deconstruct, rearrange, detune, and build back up in new crazy, fun ways.

Here are some suggestions to help you get started:

Bounce tracks back and forth with two or more Kaleidoloops while adding to the new recording. “I am

sitting in a room...”!

Use something like a pint glass or paper towel tube to make natural ﬁlters. This works great when

recording - place the pint glass (or whatever you want to try) around the mic and alternate between

enshrouding and pulling away from the mic.

Hit Record on one Kaleidoloop and CAREFULLY swing another one that is playing back for a

Doppler-type pitch changing effect.

Get better at speaking backwards.

Automatic “wah” effect by covering and then uncovering speaker with your hand.

Press the STEPPED/CONTINUOUS MODE Button during playback to get a kind of warble effect.

A fun phasing technique happens when two Kaleidoloops record simultaneously but one records a little

longer than the other. This is good for beat-making and other endeavors.

Thanks for being a part of KALEIDOLOOP and we hope you have fun! Feel free to let us know how you

use it - we are always curious! Click on the links below to get in touch with us:

RECORDING SPECS

QUALITY: 16-bit / 22.5 kHz. Electret Mic

RECORD TIME: Included 256 MB SD CARD: 97 minutes (1’37”); 1 GB SD CARD: 388 minutes (6’28”)

NUMBER OF TRACKS PER SD CARD: Feel free to record thousands of tracks before erasing.

FILE TYPE: Each track is its own .WAV ﬁle

The Kaleidoloop will erase everything on the SD CARD when it is erased, so it is best not to use the card

with another device (camera, etc.) before backing up those ﬁles. If you wish to use another SD CARD

other than the one that comes with it, most cards will work as long as they are formatted to FAT 16.
