Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O. Sidekick

Performance mixer with effects for the Teenage EP series

With the EP-136 K.O. Sidekick, Teenage Engineering presents the perfect addition to the EP samplers. The mixer offers two identical stereo channels and a clearly arranged master section. Each channel is equipped with a gain control, a 3-band EQ (EQ modes interchangeable!), CUE and FX switches as well as a volume control. This means that the channel structure is based on modern DJ mixers.

The master section scores with a high-resolution display, an effects section and the pre-listen function. Thanks to the dual channel beat match function, two audio sources can be matched in tempo to synchronize them. This is particularly helpful if the BPM of one or both channels is not known. The effects section has a lot to offer: 6 knock-out performance effects, including Delay and Reverb, are controlled synchronously with the pressure-sensitive FX pad and the Tap FX sequencer live.

All audio inputs and outputs are stereo and equipped with corresponding 3.5mm jack sockets. The aux input goes directly to the sum, this is intended as an additional input without setting options or functions in daisychain with other EP-136 mixers in larger setups. In combination with a computer and a DAW, the USB power supply functions as a USB audio interface with 8 inputs and 4 outputs, as well as a MIDI controller.

However, the concept is kept open, so this mixer can be used with any other audio source such as a groovebox, synthesizer, synthesizer, mixer, etc. Groovebox, synthesizer, drum computer, sampler.
