Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II 128MB Sampler, Sequencer & Composer

Quick Summary

The Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II is a powerful portable sampler, sequencer and composer designed to take ideas from first beat to complete arrangement quickly. This 128MB edition offers 999 sample slots, built-in microphone and line sampling, pressure and velocity-sensitive pads, extensive sequencing, resampling, effects and full song-building capabilities.

With MIDI, sync, USB-C, stereo audio connections and battery operation, the EP-133 works equally well as a standalone beat-making workstation or at the centre of a larger hardware setup.

What Makes the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II Special?

The EP-133 takes the fast, sample-driven spirit of the PO-33 K.O! and expands it into a much more capable production instrument. Sounds can be captured through the built-in microphone or stereo input, sliced manually or automatically, sequenced across 12 tracks per pattern and shaped using filters, pitch control, effects and automation.

Its performance workflow is equally strong. Twelve pressure and velocity-sensitive pads, a multifunctional fader, Punch-In FX 2.0, six send effects, master compression, resampling and note-triggered sidechain controls make it possible to dramatically reshape patterns in real time. Song Mode then allows scenes to be chained into arrangements of up to 99 positions.

Who Is It For?

The EP-133 K.O. II is ideal for beat makers, electronic musicians, producers and hardware enthusiasts who want an immediate sampler and sequencer without relying on a computer.

It is particularly well suited to hip-hop, electronic music, lo-fi, sample-based production and live performance, while its extensive MIDI and sync connectivity also makes it a strong sequencing hub for external synths and drum machines.
