Anybody think it’s possible this comes as a software update for the “original” KO II? Would be a bummer if it’s only available with new hardware
Apart from the samples and effects, are the K.O. II and the Riddim now identical?
Not exactly. The Riddim supports audio loops and punch-in fx and time strecth are adjusted accordingly.

someone on reddit had a theory that the original 64mb was related to the pandemic parts shortage and what they could easily acquire and maybe now that supplier has phased out 64mb parts. idk but sounds possible enough
TE EP-133 K.O.II 2.0 128MB
All the letters!

To my ear, the 64 MB version sounds warmer. I guess next year they will bump it to 256

Anyone know what sample time this will have compared to the 64mb version, will it simply be double?
Yes, it will double the sample storage. You will still have 20sec limit per sample.
64 MB:
Mono: ~12.16 minutes
Stereo: ~6.08 minutes
128 MB:
Mono: ~24.32 minutes
Stereo: ~12.16 minutes

Thanks for the tour tunes. Definitely revives the term bath-tub-crank.

feel the same way about mine, super frustrated with the limits of its workflow, but the form factor/design are so satisfying in a tactile/aesthetic way
that video is incredible!

Outside of aesthetic, wondering why anyone would not get the riddim over the KO II? It has loops, an extra effect, and a tone generator.
I can’t prove it but I feel the original EP-133 has a punchier compressor and slightly different swing geared towards boom bap.
Either these devices should have feature parity or a complete uniqueness. I don’t want to pay for and daisy chain 3 EPs just to get an arpeggiator and loops. One unique attribute is not worth the money and loss of portability.
If they want to make a $1200 EP Field I’m in but they are too big and pricey to follow the collectable pocket operators model IMO.
siiiiick

i’m suspicious of those numbers. after all the factory samples, i had about a minute of stereo sample time on the og.

Riddim has multisamples too.
