Jack Tries Teenage Engineering's Medieval Beat Machine!? - EP-1320 Medieval

@@BeepsAndBeatswouldn’t call it a toy. It has some toyetic factor but it’s because of the fun factor. Compared to the gear of yesteryear it’s quite serious.

[@Charles-Darwin]

I saw their launch video not knowing what the heck they were or that it would be a sampler. I went to their site and it's just as impressive. Other demos try to do modern beats with it, hardly touching the things that make this special. Good to hear the exploration of it a bit more.

You just know some guy is ripping it up on this thing at a medieval renaissance faire somewhere.

[@modelenginerding6996]

Precisely what I was thinking, lol. I had the local Renaissance fair manager invite me to play the uilleann pipes, and this little box would be fun to live sample with. 😂

[@citroenboter]

I'm actually planning on doing just that once it's in. Gonna prepare some projects then try hooking up my Omnichord to it and play as a time travelling bard.

[@Lazarus_G]

Man, I feel dumb. I resisted the KO-II, but for some stupid reason, I really have to have this.

[@yungpxnk]

Imagine pulling up to the D&D campaign with this

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Im totally into this!

[@datguy6101]

This would be perfect for a pre medieval era Japanese man to play the flute on

[@linuxbender]

I could imagine that this version could also be interesting for children (knights and princesses, so to speak). The sample and the fun of making music in pairs. I would buy a Barbie version in pink for my little daughter. Lots of potential in this series for TE, I hope they do a Synth-Version one day.

[@Powhart]

Yes I’m hoping for a synth version too!

[@barryvanspronsen6682]

Please review the Nord Grand 2, thank you

[@BeepsAndBeats]

Sounds cool but 300 for this is a bit much. The KO2 price was justified, as it was a completely new product. All they did for this was change the appearance and add a sound pack

[@Powhart]

I’m sorry, did you forget the scented buttons? They smell like chocolate!

[@TheChameleon2008]

yea, i feel like TE will do anything to get that dumb consumer money. 32mb storage lol this thing could just be a expension pack for the first ko2 if they did a good job but i feel like they just like to make gimmick products that look nice at first glance.

[@suga4all]

You forgot the 'drunk effect'! 😂

[@Entermagnetic]

And the arp instead of somenthing?

[@jamesarnold6958]

Far too expensive, but looks like a lot of fun with great sounds. Bands like Orbital have done fantastic stuff with these kinds of samples (Mock Tudor, The extended version of The Box, Ringa Ringa).

[@DavidSimons-ss5kn]

I just heard Henry Vlll say he wants one!

[@ollypowell]

[@s.kxx1956]

Gonna have to learn some medieval language to understand this !

[@jonr4651]

I want this stupid thing so bad. Like as a creativity exercise it’s refreshing to just look at a workflow where things like 808s are absent.

[@MrJesterfx]

[@SD-ff1je]

Just by an SP404MK2 and sample any of these sounds?

[@cresshead]

I have an sp-404mk2, 2 octave range and recording melodic In its sequencer is not great (sp404)... sp is good at 1 shot drums and sampled phrases or chops really

[@giannisozo7928]

TE just taking the piss now

[@jackburtoncantsavelopan]

How do you make the tape stop or slowing down the sample? That was cool

[@cresshead]

Punch in effect using the 5 button

[@Guerrilla_OP]

I ordered one immediately after the release. I thought it was going to be an upgraded version of the K.O. II, with more sample memory. I didn't realize that the samples were permanent, and it only has half of the user sample memory, that the KO II has. After watching multiple videos, I decided to send it back to Perfect Circuit. I never even opened it. I'm not big on medieval instruments, so it's not for me. I do like some of the drums and percs, but I have plenty of drums and percs already. I would like to see them make a version, that's based on vintage samplers. Either an 8 bit or 12 bit sampler, that has the 80's or early 90's converter coloring. I'm not interested in an extremely niche rompler/sampler. I know the KO II is essentially leaning towards the 90's 16 bit MPC's, but I would like a version that leans towards the S612, SP 12/1200, Mirage DSK, EPS, Emulator, MPC 60. Or a Casio SK-1 version, but with way more sampling time, along with all of the bells and whistles, that came with the KO II.

[@mrdavies7894]

As usual, TE have introduced another product that I don’t particularly need or want. _But_ , I have to say, I love their GFI attitude, introducing silly s*** like this into the market. (Latin labels on the controls?! 🤣) Because there’s clearly a market for it but it takes some noodle to go after it! That said, and more seriously, I agree with the other commenters that TE would do well to fix their existing products rather than re-package and re-release stuff that is already known to be futzy. When people are already complaining about your price/quality ratio, that’s a good way to disappoint your fans.

[@RoidDroidVoid]

Teenage Engineering puts restrictive unilateral terms on their products because they fear social media creators revealing that they make overpriced image focused garbage then supporting it with evidence. Otherwise, they'd kill for Florian to give them the buzz his videos can create. They'd rather their slick advertising and false image convince musical hopefuls to spend more than they can afford. I wish them the best of luck. The ill will this move will create amongst a rather small community will teach them regret. They'll still exist though because people like being able to buy themselves into a feeling of superiority despite reality.

[@Xenthara]

I'll be honest, i feel like this is a total hipster gimmick. The support on the original ep133 has been poor, and they should've focused on getting that right before tricking people out of their money again. I hope they decide to get it right, and stop milking the desperate desire people have to own the latest fancy toy that they'll never make anything with

[@TheChameleon2008]

This that typical TE experience. overpriced toys for beginners that have zero clue.

[@1dkappe]

The poor quality control, user support and documentation piss people off.

[@shadowaccount]

I agree it is super gimmicky...and TE's hardware support hasn't been the best with past devices. But this has an unused chip that will definitely get firmware updates. And also has the ability to being hacked eventually. This will undoubtedly be a collectors item (12:12). Give it 5 years this thing will be $2k+ on eBay. There's simply nothing else like it and it is the first of it's kind. I don't think most people are buying this for professional live and heavy workflow...there's simply better and cheaper options out there. Most will be buying this for the aesthetics and novelty. However $300 is a tad much for me.

[@TheChameleon2008]
