The Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim Supertone sampler at a glance

With the EP-40 Riddim Supertone, Teenage Engineering presents the dancehall/reggae version of the EP-133 K.O. II. The sampler contains over 300 genre-typical, handmade instruments and sounds as samples, which were created by iconic reggae producers. In addition, the EP-40 offers a digital synth engine with subtractive sound generation and classic bass and lead sounds. The absolute highlight, however, are the Dub Sirens with sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms that can be fired at the touch of a button. Never before has the reggae theme been offered such a detailed stage, and never before as hardware!

In demo mode, nine authentic reggae-style songs can be selected for jamming with the sounds and instruments of the four banks. The labelling is unmistakably reminiscent of countless record covers and event posters. Technically and functionally, the EP-40 meets all the specifications of the EP-133, including the super-segment hybrid display and the twelve velocity-sensitive trigger pads. The EP-40 Riddim Supertone has 12 tracks; the polyphony is 12 voices for stereo samples and 16 voices for mono samples. At 46 kHz / 16-bit sample rate, the sound quality can certainly be considered studio-compatible. The internal memory is specified as 128 MB. Since most of the one-shot samples are quite short, there is still enough space for Stereo samples, freshly sampled audio input and vocals that can be recorded with the built-in microphone or the (separately available) EP-2350 Ting microphone (sold separately).

Memory management & sequencer

The sampler manages a total of nine projects, each with a capacity of 80,000 notes. Each project contains four times 99 patterns, which can have a maximum pattern length of up to 99 bars. Each pattern has twelve tracks for samples and MIDI, a chromatic mode is also provided to play samples tonally and loops can be grid-synced. Notes are recorded in Live mode and a metronome can be switched on for rhythmic orientation. Thanks to the 12 punch-in effects, rhythm changes, fades and breaks based on notes can be created effortlessly, turning any beat on its head. The samples in the pattern can be edited using standard parameters such as level, pitch, filter, A/R envelope, pan, etc. There are also six good-sounding audio effects and a master compressor.

Connections

Contact with the outside world is initially established via the built-in loudspeaker. Inputs and outputs for Stereo Line, MIDI and Sync are provided via 3.5mm stereo jacks. Power is supplied either via USB-C or four AAA batteries. USB-C is also used for data exchange with the computer and MIDI integration with the DAW. Audio is not transported via this.
