EP-133 K.O. II 128MB Sampler Composer

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II 128MB

Punching up the storage of a contemporary classic, the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II 128MB Sampler Composer brings double the sample memory to the powerfully portable K.O. II sampler. Just like the original 64MB version, the K.O. II 128MB expands the wonderful PO-33 Pocket Operator sampler and groovebox to a larger format, bringing more hands-on control and expanded sound design options to a robust desktop unit.

Capture or upload your samples to the increased 128MB of storage space, and use the supercharged sequencer to create entire tracks with your favorite sounds. With up to 99 bars of sequencing and an intuitive workflow for rearranging and experimenting with patterns, the K.O. II makes it easy to craft creative musical phrases beyond the typical 16-beat framework. Mix and match four groups each with their own 99 bar sequences, and combine them to craft full ensemble loops and full tracks. The sequencer can also be used to control external instruments via MIDI, bringing a formidable centerpiece of control to any hardware set-up.

The K.O. II's sampling engine supports stereo audio, with an expanded capacity of sample length up to about 40 seconds of audio at 16-bit, 46kHz, with 999 sample slots for all your favorite one-shot sounds. Like vintage samplers of yore, this relatively limited sample capacity is a creative boon, focusing your composing chops on arranging one-shot sounds with repitching and effects processing, while the unique digital audio specs impart a warm vintage sound to all your samples. Using the ultra-fun and colorful punch-in FX, you can use the velocity sensitive expressive keys to create momentary bursts of excitement and transformation on your sounds, perfect for live performance. At the left side, the assignable performance fader offers hands-on control to get expressive with your sounds.

Connectivity on the K.O. II makes it easy to take stereo audio in for sampling and get stereo audio out for deep and spatialized music making. Likewise, the inclusion of analog sync and MIDI input and output on 3.5mm jacks as well as a dedicated USB-C connection for data and power connect seamlessly with a broader hardware set-up or DAW workflow. Whether you're exploring electronic music creation for the first time or inviting this friendly and formidable champion into your established music dojo, the EP-133 K.O. II 128MB from Teenage Engineering gives you even more storage for even more musical fun.
