Teenage Engineering K.O. II Gets Expanded Memory


Teenage Engineering has updated the EP-133 K.O. II sampler memory to 128mb.

The device’s features and design are essentially the same, but the front panel has been updated with heading ‘128 MB Sampler Composer’, vs the original’s ’64 MB’.

The EP–133 K.O. II lets you record sounds around you, sequence your samples and loops, tweak and automate filter, pitch and more, add stereo effects, compressor and punch-in effects, all on a chonky device with retro-sexy vintage calculator vibes.


The updated EP-133 K.O. II is available now, priced at $329 USD, vs the $299 of the original when it was announced. Visit the TE site for more information.
