"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II First Test // Sampling Session

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"I love this thing! It's so easy to sample things from around the house with the built-in microphone. The little improvised jam at the end is pretty sloppy as I didn't know where I was going with it, but hopefully this video shows how easy it is to put together something on-the-fly!

That said, the 'Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II 64 MB Sampler Composer' is one of the worst names for an instrument ever..."

Stretching the Limits of Samples On The KO-II

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"The Teenage Engineering EP-133 KO-II can Alias Samples! Sampling sounds high pitch and then stretching them back down extremely far to get them back to a normal or a low pitch creates aliasing within samples, which is this amazing texture that I was able to get from my older MPCs, and it's a technique that has been widely used for a very long time. So can we do it on the new Teenage Engineering EP – 133? YES! You could also do this on the PO-33 pocket operator! I also pair the new KO-ii with my Digitakt so I don't run into the voice stealing issues I had in this video" [posted here]

Ricky Tinez on the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II : I WANTED to Play Live with this Thing, but nvm..

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"It can't even do things the PO-33 can do! I let myself down by getting wrapped in the hype, haha. Its an awesome device, and yes you can make full songs on it.. But it might be a challenge at times! Which can be a good thing. TL:DR, I wanted to get this to play live and perform on, but it's going to be a little trickier than I excpected."

"Today we are going to talk about EP-133 KO II. This compact sampler and 80s tax consultant’s best friend lookalike is based on one of TEs very own Pocket Operators and while its price tag seems to be missing another zero at the end having "how to repair it" videos come out only days after its release is NOT the kind of innovation we had wished for."

The Teenage Engineering OP-1 has been dethroned: The best-selling electronic gear on Reverb in 2024

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via Reverb

"Each year, Reverb takes stock of what musicians across the globe are buying and selling as a way to keep players up to date on the latest gear trends. Today, we're sharing a big one: The best-selling electronic gear on Reverb this year.

The headline: After five years, the Teenage Engineering Op-1 has been dethroned. That's right -- the TE OP-1 is no longer the best-selling piece of electronic gear for the first time in half a decade...and oh how the mighty have fallen, with the OP-1 coming in at #5. However, it's not all bad for the Swedish synth brand.

Teenage Engineering had three pieces of gear -- the OP-1 (#5), the EP-133 K.O. II (#6), and the OP-1 Field (#11) -- in the top-10, as the brand continues to expand. Point and case: Teenage Engineering debuted the OP-XY just last month.

Both the OP-1 (#3) and the OP-1 Field (#19) finished inside of the top-20 best-selling used synths and electronic gear.

Elektron's Digitakt topped the list, largely due to the release of the Digitakt II and Digitone II models earlier this year. The brand's 2024 debuts helped propel Elektron's Digitone to #9 -- and you can get both the Digitone and Digitakt for a great price thanks to a $160+ drop in the cost of used models for both.

The Digitakt topped the list of best-selling used synths and electronic gear this year, further proving its popularity.

The Ableton Push 2 (#2) and the Korg Drumlogue (#4) both jumped into the top-five thanks to great deals from the brands' respective official Reverb shops.

Korg finished as second on the list of the best-selling electronic gear brands, while Roland took home the gold, Yamaha took home silver, and Akai and Arturia rounded out the top-five.

While Ableton's Push 2 was a best-seller, the standalone Push 3 was beat out by Native Instruments' Maschine+, which finished #11 on the list of the overall best-selling drum machines, samplers, and controllers.

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O.II + PO32 Tonic Ambient Electro Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"Here the EP-133 meets his little buddy PO32 Tonic for jamming out. All drums coming from the K.O.II while the pad sounds are coming from live jamming with the PO32 (spiced up with a lot of reverb obviously, here going into #cascadeapp and #rymdigare and a touch of guitar amp feeling with #ChowDSPBYOD). Enjoy!"

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O.II Midi Looper

video upload by Perplex On

"This jam tries to utilize the #ep133 as a midi looper, punching in midi notes live into it and sending them to the iPad playing #klevgrand #speldosa. I realized that a few punch-in fx on the EP-133 do midi related stuff which is great for adding a bit of spice to the loops in real-time. Other convenient thing is that the iPad also powers the EP-133 in addition to having midi over the same cable. Thanks to my little wooden birdie friends for the support."
