Teenage Engineering adds lo-fi mode, USB audio, and more to its KO II sampler
Teenage Engineering has released a significant OS 2.5 update for its EP-133 KO II sampler, adding features like USB audio, lo-fi sample rates, and an arpeggiator. The update aims to improve the device's versatility for music production and sound design.
Why it matters
Frequent firmware updates for hardware instruments extend product lifecycles and maintain brand loyalty in the niche music production equipment market.
Teenage Engineering has already issued multiple substantial updates for its surprisingly capable $329 EP-133 KO II sampler. Its latest is one of the biggest yet. OS 2.5 adds audio over USB, selectable sample rates for lo-fi fun, sample reverse, an arpeggiator, equal-length autochopping, and it extends the maximum length of a sample from 20 seconds to 40 seconds by capturing mono, instead of stereo, audio.
