Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II

Just sent you a DM!

how much originally?

Hey man, seen these on Etsy and really like the format, only worry I had is that they are maybe too heavy…so Q to you :), how heavy is that KO2 cover? And would you throw the device into a bag with just that cover on?

In any case, looks super nice!

You cannot just throw the case in a bag. The bottom orange connector piece will break off if you sit the bag down roughly. That is one part of the design I’d recommend changes on.

Ships to Germany and Austria only, but good alternative for Pelican:
TAF CASE 103 - Outdoor Koffer - Staub- und wasserdicht, IP67

I have the 104- Elektron Boxes or SP-404MK2 fit fine!

Can’t remember how much he charged originally but I think it was in the $50s tho. Working in product design I remember feeling like he was under charging considering the alternatives. I also made a custom case out of legos and it cost more and wasn’t as robust a solution.

I’ve had it since launch week and I’ve put it through a lot. I travel often so it’s been through airports scanners. I sometimes carry just the case with the included leather strap and it’s banged against doors, dropped on concrete (will scratch of course).

I’m confident nothing will break on this case unless you break it intentionally, are extremely clumsy, put it thru some unnatural behavior or just received a faulty one.

I wish lmao. He’s crushing it with these cases. Fanboy lives in Boston. I’m in Miami baby! :desert_island: We are friends now but I didn’t know him prior to supporting his KO2 case project.

I know that it’s not you ! but wait till someone reads my post and takes it seriously ! lol

These were my first cases. Custom made legos which is fun to build but you’ll need glue and about $60 worth of legos to build anything close to the fanboy case. Product list is on Reddit or I posted all this info in the first few weeks post launch if anyone cares to do a lot of scrolling.


that soulmate is the vibe had to cop it, thanks for posting it

No prob. Aesthetics are important to a lot of people. imo that’s where TE knocks it out of the park and separate themselves from everyone else.

So, naturally we’d want a case consistent with and showcases the original aesthetic of the device while offering enough protection to feel comfy tossing in a bag or back seat.

Sad, very sad… Outstanding quality, but 1/4 of inch shorter than needed… :unamused:

My love for the ko2 has cooled down a bit and I got stuck to get the spark going again.
I filled a lot of sample slots, projects and scenes. I am just too lazy to track it all to a DAW.
Part of me says to wait for the backup option which will be released soon I hope, another part just wants to whipe it all and start with a clean slate.
What do you guys do to overcome this mental block?

I overcame it with cash :smiley: by selling mine.
As you, I was too lazy to track to a DAW, or wait for the updates.

Sold it since it was collecting dust. I still dig it, but until it matures more, I’ll explore other endeavours.

I have too little time to make music these days and I kinda turned into a snob when it comes to grooveboxes :smiley: It’s instant gratification / tick most of my boxes or … out the door :smiley:

I do two things: first, I play the track live into the DAW, recording all of it as I go and while the piece is fresh. These are good enough for putting on YouTube, but I wouldn’t use them for a proper release.

After that, I record each pattern as a clip and save the whole thing. That way, I can make a full arrangement in Logic Pro if I ever need it.

Then I erase the project and move on.

Fun machine, I give up too… Bye-Bye the hype!My Sp404mk2 wins the round.
Maybe another time and in other circumstances. Far from being essential!
