Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II

I expect an ipad mini screen protector film and a scissors is the solution?

Anyone know if the plastic screen on the KO might not adhere as easily as an ipad screen?

The ones I have are hard plexiglass type. I’d like to find one that’s the thin film type that commonly comes attached to protect brand new music gear oleds, tv, watches, etc. If someone finds one that works well please link it.

Protection films 24 do custom sizes, glass and film…

My concern would be the adhesive on the screen protector reacting with the plastic screen. Could degrade the plastic. I’m not a scientist but I have heard of adhesives affecting plastic. Like you shouldn’t put stickers on your bike helmet.

yes, agree. A replaceable plastic clip-on plate would be best.

I’m trying to imagine how project backups would work on the ep-133. I’ve noticed just deleting and adding samples can take quite a while, especially when doing both at the same time.

Why are people excepting this device with all the hardware issues even if it is fun. Why dint TE add a couple more hundred and build it better not sure why they made this decision. I don’t see this device lasting and foresee a lot of angry customers. Just my opinion.

The issue is the packaging, which I believe is being revised.

Is the OP-1 screen cheap plastic too?

I tried it like 10 more times lol (until the 2 protectors were used up) but couldnā€˜t put it on without having too many bubbles. Nevermind, i have a good case now that does not touch the screen. And i think i did read here, that TE sells replacement (display) parts as well? If thatā€˜s the case i donā€˜t mind getting some scratches. Life should be easier when decksaver cooked something up as well.

I hope tempo sync’d delay is an option in a firmware update.

Just a placeholder to revisit a year or more from now.

Opened mine up and desoldered the fader from the board. It’s an extremely cheap component and the brushes are much more delicate than I even thought. I do seriously wonder how long it will last, even with the brushes pushed where they need to be.

After putting it all back together with the brushes back where they should be it works as it should. I’d be somewhat surprised if they didn’t start using a different fader component. Outside of that, it’s a solid board and built well. Just poor choice of fader.

if half your project isn’t getting wiped from a crash as soon as you start loving what you are working on than you aren’t using the KO II right. you’ll know you arrived when it wipes critical parts of your project.

Do you have one?

So can you save or backup your projects via USB?
