Can Kaossilator do for sound generation what Kaoss Pad has done for effects processing?

I recently purchased the Kaossilator and was addicted to it as soon as I opened the box. Its just great fun. There is a massive variety of patterns and sounds, I even managed to create a whole track on it by connecting it up to my laptop and recording live. It was by no means perfect but it shows that a DJ could easily link it into his setup to add some sparkle to live performances.
The only thing that I feel it needs is some kind of Midi compatibility or ability to sync to other equipment. As the reviewer states the Kaossillator can not really be considered a really serious bit of gear without this.
Since owning the Kaossillator it has fit into my setup just fine. I tend to record sounds and loops into my software based sequencer and combine the Kaossillator sounds with the rest of my gear that way.
For £100 this is one of my best buys and I would recommend the Kaossillator to anyone. Great fun.

Pros
Amazing fun; innovative; easy-to-use straight from the box.
Cons
Not very versatile.
Verdict
Certainly not pure novelty but more toy than tool at the moment.
