Very thankful for your honest look at the EP-133. I was seriously considering getting it but I'm someone that needs a simple workflow to get anything done, especially when it comes to applying effects and recording samples so I'm likely going to give this a pass even though I was hoping for it to be my first T.E. device. Might just look into the SP404 MK II instead.

I own the OP-1 (OG), OP-Z, Digitakt, 404mk2 and now the KO2. Of these devices, the OP-Z still remains my absolute favorite based on workflow alone. My expectations were a little too high with this thing as I hoped it would basically be an expanded OP-Z.. it borrows some workflow elements but the things that make the OP-Z great were left out of this thing imo.

Hello. This is priced at entry level but there is quite a lot to learn before you get the best out of it. If you are good at learning new tech the learning phase could be fun? Once you start to understand it and find the way you like to work it's fun non stop. PS. This is KO2. The KO1 (teenage engineering pocket operator 33 KO) is only €80. €100 if you buy the silicon case. It is a pocket sized sampler and 16 step sequencer with 4 stereo voice polyphony and pattern chain. Also has 16 nice effects. Lots of lo fi fun for €100.

[@ABigDoggy]

one way to get around the limitation of voices.. you can compose outside of the KO2... use a project in the KO to get as many things done as you can. record audio tracks into your daw. use another project within the ko2 to build more up. not the best, but it is a way.

[@rbsenpai]

Considering that the sequencer is not powerful, is this still a good machine to record and arrange? I am looking for a sampler sequencer to record all my tracks (bass, voice, drums, synths), surely in an Ableton clip-fashion, and arrange these tracks/clips to make songs. Then I would like to export the tracks to my DAW to do the final cleaning and mixing. I guess the EP-133 isn't for me, right? Thanks!!!

I reckon it might boil down to how willing/able teenage engineering are to develop the firmware.

Fingers crossed TE can do the same?

Is IT not possible to resample your Groupon through the Out of the device to the in of the device with a audiocable?

@@SachaGreif that’s exactly how I feel being an OP1-F user. I keep holding onto it hoping they’ll shadow drop an amazing update that makes the OP1 F indispensable but I think I might ditch it for a digitakt. It will go nicely with my other Elektron boxes and I won’t feel so precious about it

[@TommyTheCollector]

​@EVILJAMARR I hear you. I really want to like the OP1, but it feels lacking. I've heard the pitch that the limitations are features for creativity, but I don't buy it. We're living in a golden age of music gear. Limitations are limitations, not positives when there are 5 other pieces that don't have those limits. I keep the thing, but it's rarely in rotation when I can pick up a Deluge, MPC Live, 404mkii or any number of tools that just let me play ball instead of working around their (intentional) hassles. I mean, for $1300, how tf you not going to have midi support that doesn't require a computer?

[@robertm708]

I've found that the sample envelope clips while playing the key after twisting the parameter knobs (which does that envelope change on purpose for amp and pitch auditioning).

[@RalphLBaer]

That title. 😂 I almost bought the small calculator one but decided to buy an MPC live 2 instead. Best decision ever.

[@Angelfacesongs]

Ricky you are amazing at making tracks. I too was frustrated by the voice stealing, because if the machines polyphony limitations I found that stereo samples were best reserved for one crutial aspect. mono drums, mono bass, mono leads. something like a pad or those keys with a lot of stereo motion are really the limit of the device. essentially I consider it 10 mono sounds and one stereo. Also consider using the group function for samples to eliminate accidental sample overlap

[@robertm708]

Not sure if mentioned in any comment, but at the end, jumping out of sound mode is why the stereo icon disappears. It will always show stereo or mono in sound mode.

@@TheHexCube Thanks mate! Loving it as well. Chaining is needed. Not familiar with og KO but OP-Z chaining scenes nicely. Now I have 3 distinct pieces for the song, don’t know what to do next. Can’t even play to record, have to turn scenes precisely. Thought to record MIDI to Live to move on with a song but not that simple. Hope they will enable usb audio and at least usb midi. Dropped nylon string guitar and hang drum onto calculator to play a new song for now 😎 webbased editor with preview to device is nice, did not notice before but assign samples to pads into exact project. What if they do midi editor for notes and song arranger in!?!? Would be nice, that would be even easier than what they have now sample with waveform preview. Hope TE will not fire the whole team due to first QA issues LoL

You have the patience of a saint Ricky. I'll still abide by my comment on your previous video and say that this device has still a long way to go and adding resampling, the ability to loop samples and sampling while the sequencer is running are a top priority (which, if anybody is curious, has been the top requests of the beta testers for a long time and they have gone unheard).

[@MrLegitFlip]

can you use this as a fx box? and send it through an mpc?

True Cuckoo has a great breakdown video of this thing. It's pretty badass

[@tonyhill2318]

Indeed...that dudes a genius

I spent quite a bit of this video distracted by the guitar case that's behind you and to your left. Looks like the older style of Rickenbacker case, so I'm wondering it there's a 4003 bass in there.

But it just sounds gorgeous. Guess the trick is: 2 EP-133 K.O. II (!) 😅

I definitely consider my KO2 as an instrument rather than a full production tool.
