With the EP-40 Riddim Supertone, Teenage Engineering presents the dancehall/reggae version of the EP-133 K.O. II. The sampler comes pre-loaded with over 300 genre-specific, handcrafted instruments and sounds as samples, created by iconic reggae producers. On top of that, the EP-40 features a digital synth engine with subtractive synthesis to generate classic bass and lead sounds. The absolute highlight, however, is the Dub Sirens with sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms, which can be triggered at the touch of a button. Never before has the reggae theme been given such a detailed platform – and in hardware form, no less!
In Demo Mode, you can select from nine authentic reggae-style songs to jam along to using the sounds and instruments from the four banks. The lettering 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 is essentially a 12-track unit; polyphony is 12 voices for stereo samples and 16 voices for mono samples. With a sample rate of 46 kHz / 16-bit, the sound quality is certainly of studio standard. The internal memory is specified as 128 MB. As most one-shot samples are fairly short, there is still enough space for stereo samples, freshly sampled material from the audio input and vocals recorded using the built-in microphone or the (separately available) EP-2350 Ting microphone.
The sampler manages a total of nine projects, each with a capacity of 80,000 notes. A project contains four sets of 99 patterns, each of 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 run in grid-synced mode. Notes are recorded in Live Mode, and a metronome can be activated for rhythmic guidance. Thanks to the 12 punch-in effects, you can effortlessly create rhythm changes, fades and breaks on a note-by-note basis, turning every beat on its head in an instant. The samples within a pattern can be edited using standard parameters such as level, pitch, filter, A/R envelope, pan, etc. There are also six high-quality audio effects and a master compressor.
Connection to the outside world is initially established via the built-in speaker. Inputs and outputs for stereo line, MIDI and sync are provided via 3.5mm stereo jack sockets. Power is supplied either via USB-C or four AAA batteries. The USB-C port is also used for data transfer with a computer and MIDI integration with the DAW. Audio is not transmitted via this connection.
