Ever-playful and nonconformist, Teenage Engineering has changed the game for music makers of all stripes, letting them incorporate sounds from the world around them into their music—and compose on the fly—with a selection of curiously calculator-looking Pocket Operator micro-samplers, sequencers and synths. The continuous evolution of Teenage Engineering’s out-of-the-box gadgetry has yielded the EP-133 K.O. II, a sampler, sequencer and composer, giving you the paradoxically not-so-pocket-sized power to sequence your samples and loops, adjust and automate filters, pitch and other parameters, throw in stereo effects, compression and endlessly fun punch-in effects. Equipped with a built-in mic and speaker—as well as stereo, sync, MIDI and USB I/O—EP-133 K.O. II was purpose-engineered to turn your ideas into full-fledged tracks efficiently and intuitively.

With its bolstered power, sampling capabilities, redesigned sequencer and newfangled punch-in 2.0 effects, the EP-133 K.O. II is the supercharged successor to the conveniently portable PO-33 K.O! beloved by on-the-go creators the world over. Impressively petite as it is, it packs an unprecedented punch with its 12 pressure- and velocity-sensitive vintage-style keys, multifunctional fader, 64MB of memory, 999 sample slots, and CD-quality sample rate and bit depth (with a signal chain of up to 32-bit float). Powered by USB-C or four AAA batteries, it’s equally at home in the studio as it is anywhere your adventures take you.
