Teenage Engineering KO-35 Amp & OP-XY | SynthFest UK 2026

video upload by Sound On Sound magazine

"Teenage engineering have just released their first amp, the KO-35. Watch this overview of its capabilities along with a quick look at the latest update for the OP-XY."

EP35 Amp: Teenage Engineering - Music China 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"Well this is a first... Teenage Engineering in the Guitar Hall! With a Guitar Amp! That holds a beer! ;-] Nick chatted to Yukes from Teenage Engineering about the *EP35*, a new 35-watt practice amplifier that fits in the company’s more 'affordable' EP/KO range.

There's a 6.35mm instrument input, a 48V XLR input, an auxiliary input, Bluetooth audio, USB-C and line output. It also works as a multi-channel audio interface, with instrument, mic, aux and master signals available across eight channels. The line output doesn't mute the speaker, so it can feed recording or monitoring at the same time.

Accessories include a two-sided USB flash drive for backing tracks and drum loops, an "Amptenna" radio antenna, EP-compatible side mounting and a rear compartment that can hold a drink or a power bank. The KO pedal connects over Bluetooth for playback control, effects, and looping, and also works standalone as a USB MIDI sustain or expression controller.

The amp is expected to retail around $399 overseas. It is available in some areas already, while China has the amp first, with pedal and accessories still to follow there."

ambient synth live | OP-1, Kaleidoscope, Arturia Pigments, NI Reaktor

video upload by Mamotreco

"I played some extra layers of reverberating synth ambience on the Teenage Engineering OP-1, Kaleidoscope by Vadim Minkin processed through the Teenage Engineering EP-135 Sidekick Mixer as well as additional plate reverb and tape echo emulation in Ableton Live as I was recording in. Ableton Live was playing back a composition with Arturia Pigments, NI Reaktor ensembles (Razor, Steampipe 2), GForce Software OB-X synth plugins

Cinematic Ambient with Prophet-10, reface CS, and OP-1 field | Invisible Frost 2026-10-22 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Cinematic ambient created with the Prophet-10, reface CS, OP-1 field, and CP-88.

On the OP-1 field, detailed glitch beats and sustained synth pad sounds are recorded in advance. The MOTHER effect is used as the master effect to add gated reverb.

On the reface CS, the oscillator is set to FM while synth pads are performed. The output is processed through the MICROCOSM with deep reverb.

The Prophet-10 is connected to the blueSky and used to perform slow-attack synth pads.

The CP-88 is processed in the DAW with reverb from Native Instruments Raum.

The Original OP-1 Just Got a New Synth Engine, Chords and 6 New Effects and More (Free Firmware Mod)

video upload by Justin Joe

"New stuff for the original OP-1. A Keys synth engine (tine, reed and clav), chord mode and scales, a piano-roll sequencer that records chords, six new effects with their own screens, a new LFO, a knob-click Shift latch, and MIDI CC on almost every knob. It all runs on top of firmware 246, the last one teenage engineering released for the OG, and it's free.

🔧 GET THE MOD (free). Download, install steps and the manual with the full MIDI CC chart: https://justinjoe.com/op1-mod

☕ If it makes your OP-1 more fun, the tip jar is here: https://buymeacoffee.com/justinjoe

Original OP-1 only, not the OP-1 Field. Unofficial, not affiliated with or supported by teenage engineering, use at your own risk. Going back to stock has one rule (switch your sounds off the new engine, effects and LFO first), and it's in the install steps."

Cast Away (Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick EP 136)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"1 track, 3 machines, a little over 5 minutes. 🎛️

Back with the same setup as *Live at Home 2*: the Elektron Digitone, MFB Tanzbär and Roland S-1. This time, though, it's one continuous piece rather than a collection of patterns and ideas.

All three instruments are connected to the **Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136**:
Channel 1: MFB Tanzbär - punchy analog drums
Channel 2: Elektron Digitone - all the synth parts, plus some FM percussion
AUX input: Roland S-1 - Bass

The MIDI chain is pretty straightforward: Digitone to S-1 to Tanzbär.
The Digitone sequences the S-1, while the Tanzbär runs its own internal sequencer.

Things get a little more… unpredictable during the second half of the track, where I start playing around with the Sidekick's Loop effect to create all sorts of drum breaks.

It was an absolute pleasure to play with - perhaps a little too much of a pleasure, judging by how often I kept using it! 😄

But hey, sometimes you find an effect that makes you want to keep pushing it just a little further.

Hope you'll enjoy this one!

As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live."

Teenage Engineering K.O. Sidekick + iPad | Mobile Live Session

video upload by Elastic Instruments

"The Teenage Engineering K.O. series makes a good sparring partner for iOS devices! 🥊🥊

In this video, the K.O. Sidekick doubles as an audio interface and a performance mixer for live effects. On the left, the EP-133 supplies the beats. On the right, the iPad runs a bassline in Elastic Melody, layered with Elastic OSC receiving MIDI from Melody. Molli Looper adds looping and filter effects, while AUM sends MIDI clock to keep the EP-133 in sync.

A sweet mobile setup with plenty of hands-on control—and a lot of fun :)"

Live at Home II (Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S1 // Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"It's been almost a year since I last used my Elektron Digitone. The knobs had gradually become sticky, making the instrument pretty unpleasant to use. Since this seems to be an issue other people have experienced too (and I've had similar problems with other gear), I eventually decided to buy replacement knobs and swap them myself.

And honestly, this machine is too good to stay on the shelf!

To celebrate its return, here's a second "Live at Home" session: a 14-minute live set built mainly around patterns I recorded on the Digitone before I stopped using it.

The setup:
Elektron Digitone : the heart of the setup, sequencing the Roland S-1 and sending program changes to switch its sounds throughout the set.
Roland S-1 : mainly handling the bass.
MFB Tanzbär : adding some extra analog drums, using its own internal sequencer.
Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick : processing the Tanzbär (Channel 1) and the Digitone (Channel 2), with onboard effects for breaks, transitions, and a bit of hands-on sound shaping.

The Digitone acts as the master clock, with MIDI running from the Digitone to the S-1 and then to the Tanzbär. While the Digitone sequences the S-1, the Tanzbär keeps its own patterns running in sync with the rest of the setup.

No elaborate concept this time, just a chance to revisit some old patterns, bring the Digitone back into the mix, and see where the machines take me.

As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live, but the musical performance itself wasn't edited or fixed.
