[@takethistakethat]

Iam going to order mines today

[@JaydenLawson]

11:02 for anyone interested - hold Shift + Pad to solo a track sequence. Don't have Ableton, but still found this useful! Thanks!

[@ast_rsk]

Thank you for this series! I just got my unit and have run through this whole series to get oriented and begin thinking about my workflow with this very neat little device.

[@SONWU]

My pleasure, glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@S_e_a_n]

Thank you Son WU! Your demos make navigating the EP-133 a breeze. Cheers!

[@SONWU]

Thank YOU!

[@kedge]

I wish there was an option to hit export and automatically give you the tracks ready to be imported into a daw.

[@SONWU]

Same here :)

[@jakewastaken]

I bet someone will come up with a better solution over time, but yeah that’s a missing feature for sure.

[@solmare_]

This is sometimes called “rendering” and devices like the Dirtywave M8 support this in the box to have your stems or your full track rendered as WAV files 🥲 wish more devices could do this

[@squarelanguage]

Would recommend recording each part to a separate track in ableton. That way you can add different variations above or below each other along with other song loops too. Then you can mix and match each part

[@DJSAMUSIC-PROD]

Does it work with Propellerhead reason? And another question: Can you save Projekt in the Computer? Thx for your answer 🙏🏽

[@eagereyes]

Why not record the different groups as separate tracks in Ableton, though? It won't make a difference for dragging audio files into arrangement view, but it would give you a lot more flexibility to have some fun in session view. You could also apply different effects to the different tracks, etc.

[@SONWU]

Sure, that would be another way to do it. I just use this method at the moment, because it names the recordings according to the track name. That means I only have to name my track once and all clips belonging to the project will share its name. If I want them to live on separate tracks, I can just drag them to the right and they'll have their own tracks and be ready to launch in a session. Also using just a single track might lead to less confusion in general, like forgetting to change settings etc.

[@Kevlun4]

I need an audio interface to use the EP 133? :( I want to buy one but i have so many doubts

[@SONWU]

Hey! In order to record into the computer, yes you need an audio interface.

[@Kevlun4]

@@SONWU thank you so much for you answer! I already bought my ep 133 and my focusrite Scarlett solo 4th gen to record the audio in my PC! I already understand so much of this universe of KO II for you and your videos, thanks sonwu. My ep 133 arrives tomorrow:’)

[@SONWU]

@@Kevlun4 Cool, that should be a great setup to get you started!!! Enjoy :)

[@Kevlun4]

@@SONWU thank you! keep doing videos like the ''making a full song on the ep-133'' that was so helpfull and incredible to see!!

[@smatjoy4202]

There will be a tutorial for Logic Pro? 😊

[@SONWU]

Hi! Sorry, but I don't use Logic…although I think the same principles should apply.

[@dondub]

i came here to say the exact same thing. feels like nobody uses logic!

[@smatjoy4202]

@@dondub why? It’s soo good!

[@AaronGoldbergMusic]

@@smatjoy4202for a lot of people, ableton was the obvious choice due to the style of music they wanted to make when they started. I started with garage band which lead me to logic and I still work there. Trying to learn ableton now though because it excels in electronic music production.

[@fireintheflesh]

I've tried it in logic. Maybe I should make a video.

[@angelbaybungalows5295]

For some reason ableton does not sync the bpm when I have pressed the EXT button. I have set the settings as mentioned in the video. Any ideas?

[@SONWU]

Try going into EP-133's menu and see if you are sending MIDI clock out.

[@angelbaybungalows5295]

@@SONWU Thank you! Great videos! keep em up! Also please make more hiphop beats on the Ko2!

[@emenalled]

@@SONWU thank yo for this very useful video! I have a similar problem: I am following your steps diligently, but I can't establish a connection between the tempo of the Ep-133 and ableton. I haven't managed to understand how to navigate the menu to make sure I am sending MIDI clock out with the USB-c. If you have the time, would you provide a more thorough explanation on how to do this? greatly appreciated!

[@clockspeed-nu4kj]

what's your best or favorite sampler???????

[@SONWU]

…that's difficult to answer. If I had to say right now, maybe the Octatrack?!

[@clockspeed-nu4kj]

@@SONWU why? over the Mpc????

[@SONWU]

@@clockspeed-nu4kj I don't have any MPC at the moment…and I really don't like the new ones due to the heavy reliance on the touchscreen. However, I am getting a MASCHINE soon, maybe that will take it's place ;)

[@clockspeed-nu4kj]

@@SONWU THATS GREAT// YOU SHOULD GET THE ISLA 2400, ITS A GREAT MACHINE... CHECK IT OUT!!!

[@takethistakethat]

It’s should have export stems for every group with one press of a button!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢

[@SONWU]

Agreed

[@takethistakethat]

That’s a lot for exporting

[@SONWU]

Yup

[@EVILJAMARR]

I really like this channel but I am not into the EP133 KOII: Return of the Jedi-Fights-Back-OMG-that-name-is-too-long toy sampler device. I'll be glad when the hype train pulls out the station. 😅

[@SONWU]

Yeah, I can understand… the hype is quite big on this device. (which, as usual for TE, is due to the amazing design) But it's certainly not THE sampler to get, if I was in the market.

[@beatsandstuff]

I've been producing since 2008 and never got into sampling, until I saw the KO II. Sure, I can go into my DAW and do it without limitations or get something like an MPC, a TS-404 or even a Deluge. I decided to start with the KO II, because of its intuitiveness and LIMITATIONS; sure, I'm getting a 404 or something else later on to daisy chain it. This toyish piece of gear makes me want put on the AA batteries, my Sennheiser HD-600s, smoke a bowl and jam. I do think that even if you are a pro sampler that already has tons of good gear and experience, this piece will inspire you. It's about the process, not the end result.

[@SONWU]

@@beatsandstuff 👌whatever gets you making music is good!

[@beatsandstuff]

@@SONWU awesome tutorials btw, keep it up!

[@Poopboy12]

can you use the same method with logic pro or bandlab?

[@SONWU]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@Poopboy12]

@@SONWU amazing! Thank you!
