EP–133 K.O. II sampler, drum machine and sequencer with built-in microphone and effects

Well, since i bought this I never expected it to be so integral to not only my music making but also just enjoyment. Its design is so charming and unique when you look at it you just want to jam and explore. There are for sure limitations, similar to the OP-1 you can learn to embrace them and make something fantastic. Pros: Runs off AAA’s which is convenient and lasts about 4 hours but usb c power is there in a pinch you can power it from your phone if you wanted to. Factory samples are great but loading in your own transforms it and it’s so easy to load samples in or record. Keys are clacky and very satisfying to play, you have the option to change the velocity settings in the menu. Punch in FX is just so fun, the fx in general are better than the pocket operators with proper reverb and delay which can allow for feedback loops which i like Onboard speaker is appreciated at this price point and for what type of product it is. And being able to connect other gear to it is a plus. Cons: Build quality is meh, it is sturdy but the knobs and faders have me a bit worried. The knobs have a bit of a deadzone I don’t know whether it’s just my unit The workflow is confusing if you’ve never worked with something like an MPC. Going through sounds is just chaotic and messy and you have to memorize the numbers 1-999 64mb of memory at first doesn’t seem too bad but when you take into account that most of the sounds on here are mono and you want to record stereo then it gets eaten up very quickly. The flashing lights. I haven’t found a way to turn that off but when using some of the punch in fx it flashes quite bright Overall though I absolutely love it perfect for someone who wants to escape computers and DAW’s

I've had the EP-133 for a day and I've wasted hours already playing with this thing. Its marvellous! This is my first sampler, with my only really music production experience coming from tinkering around with an Akai MPK Mini. The purchase of the EP-133 was mainly driven my the desire to have something that was battery powered that I could tinker with whilst I'm on the move to experiment with putting some tunes together. Build quality for the unit I received was fine, but mindful of fadergate, I took a great deal of care adding the fader knob just to avoid any issues. The stock samples are good, and uploading additional samples and assigning them to pads simple. Using the in-built mic for samples is okay, but I've only used for a handful of samples so far in a relatively optimal environment. The speaker is okay, but not great. But I'll use mainly with headphones to avoid the wife doing a KO on me. I love how easy it is to tap something out on the EP-133, and although its not possible to export the sequence into a DAW, its great for capturing ideas. Haven't tried connecting it to my audio interface yet. I've wasted hours on the EP-133 so far, and I'm looking forward to wasting many more in the future!

I bought this primarily as a replacement for my PO32, (not 33), for FX. However, the FX are not as good unfortunately so I will keep the 32. The 133 does have many other uses though. I love the buttons and sampling capability. Using the sw to drag and drop samples onto it and then play back on a keyboard is valuable. It is a shame, however, that this function will disappear at some point as TE refuse to make the sw downloadable. - It only works on-line via a browser.

Great fun sampler. Was a bit disappointed when it arrived as it was missing white volume knob. However I have contacted teenage for a replacement. Still it hasn't stopped me having fun with it. I was happy to see the change in packaging to protect the fader from damage during shipping. Overall it's a powerful sampler with plenty of io interfaces including a inbuilt microphone. It's fun and portable and full of creativie possibilities be it live in studio or at home. Just like with other teenage products I'm excited to see what new features they add to this. Da Iawn Teenage!

Have received, great packaging but please don’t use DPD, they are awful!

I said what I said.

Produit reçu avec le nouvel emballage, aucun problème de casse ou quoi que ce soit comme le disent les commentaires plus vieux

Mine arrived with the fader and encoder knobs missing, the box was also scratched up and dirty, didn't look like a new device

Excelente artefacto para pasar horas de creatividad. Es intuitivo, pero recomiendo ver los tutoriales en YouTube. La mayoría de los videos son de gente talentosa que explican y ejemplifican su uso al 100.
