We got the king who started it all.
EP-133 // K.O. II
The weird sibling who looks ridiculous and smells like chocolate.
EP-1320 // Medieval
And the newest fighter in the ring with its party rocking appendage.
EP-40/EP-2350 // Riddim/Ting
Post your tips, your tricks, your tracks.
Will the Supertone be added to the EP-133?? Will the loops on the EP-40 get your track off the ground?? Will TE finally update the 1320 with new livestock samples?? Discuss here.
Are they all the same with different firmware?
Any differences?
Say what you want about TE, but they know how to make a UI fun, and that’s by far the most important thing for me, to actually enjoy the process!
all different firmwares
same general sample based workflow
main differences
EP-133
EP-1320:
EP-40
those are the main differences off the top of my head
My favorite trick: the sequencer goes on FOREVER, and you can record MIDI straight into it. I love running weird, complex sequences from Ableton to the KO II, then playing it back later.
Cheers!
I mostly meant hardware though - so it’s just the amount of user memory?
I saw someone posted that they’ll all have the same firmware soon… wonder if that’s true?
Ep-40 looks dope !
I wonder why there’s still no way to record a loop without pausing (not possible while jamming with friends).
For a device aimed at live performance and now that resampling is possible, it seems like a no-brainer.
4 reallll ??
yeah i dunno where the same firmware talk is coming from. i dont think that will happen. if anything, we might see the supertone and maybe multisample support on the ep-133 but i think its probably just misunderstood information based on uninformed presenters.
to kick off the user thread with some tunes, i have a track i made on the ep-133 last night. sampled some chords and synth one shots off the op-xy and went to town. i like the quick snappy melodies i made here
SOMEONE POSTED IT SO IT MUST BE TRUE 
But yeah, probably not as TE most likely wants you to buy more than one. Such is life!
I don’t think it’s as easy as this. As far as I can tell from looking at these devices, there’s differing amount of flash memory in each and the Riddim seems to maybe have a Raspberry Pi Pico embedded (maybe something to do with the synth engine).
I think the series is great and I can’t wait for the inevitable EP Tonic 
.
Edit: It’s the Ting with the Pico in it. Bought them both. Can’t wait to see what I can do messing with the Ting firmware.
If only that were true!
I’d buy a hardware MT instantly. PO Tonic is the greatest piece of music hardware that’s ever existed. So musical and inspiring!
Loops are more like stems. Constantly playing in the background and you toggle their audio on and off. It’s awesome for resampling (or sampling an external instrument) because if you sample in fixed length it automatically becomes a loop that keeps in time to your beat.
The 128 mb can be replaced with anything you like.
I noticed a bug on my ep-40. The functions for stereo work as intended but the second speaker will not light up (but I can see that the light itself works when using punch in fx). Anyone else experiencing the same?
TE EP-40 User’s Guide in PDF (compiled from TE site):
Not sure why you removed the comment. You’re right, it is the Ting that uses the Pico. https://www.reddit.com/r/teenageengineering/comments/1oq1pef/ep2350_ting_source_hacking/nngqblb/
i guess i dont get how this is different than how this is done on the ep133. do you have to start the loop from the beginning each time or can it start playing a loop from a different step in the loop? because if it needs to start from the beginning, i feel like you could achieve the same end result with a “loop” set to one shot mode on the ep133. it would need to be sequenced to actually loop
is the benefit that the sequencer doesnt need to be running for the loop to play on loop?
and can you make user loops? or does the LSS thing only apply to the factory loops?
I want to make drumnbass + breaks on the new EP-40 and rap into the new one. I really love the color and design. I am also a fan of dub and it seems like it would do well alot of other style I like. But then I remember that I really didn’t like the step sequencer function on the medieval one I owned.
huge sound. think mostly factory sounds/patterns.
worried the samples are gonna get old quick. but first user demo that didn’t make me whince.
so what are the definitive differences between the three, feature wise?
ok
