Revolutionary Upgrade for Music Makers!

In an exciting announcement that's bound to get music enthusiasts buzzing, Teenage Engineering has unveiled a major update to its EP-133 KO II synthesizer nearly a year and a half after its debut in late 2023. The OS 2.0 update, available for download via web browser or USB, brings a treasure trove of new features that elevate this versatile device to new heights.

Unlock New Creative Possibilities!

One of the standout enhancements is the revamped resampling capabilities. Musicians can now process existing samples or beats, layering effects to create entirely new sounds. Imagine effortlessly capturing snippets of a beat crafted from your previously recorded samples—now that's creativity at your fingertips!

But that’s not all! The KO II's new hands-free sampling mode allows players to record sounds from two-handed instruments—like pianos—without needing a third hand to hit record. This seamless functionality lets you focus entirely on your performance!

Expanded Sound Options and Creative Control!

With OS 2.0, the KO II's sound layering capabilities have dramatically increased, allowing 16 mono and 12 stereo sounds to be played simultaneously—up from 12 mono and six stereo. This expanded capacity provides musicians with a richer and more complex sonic palette, perfect for crafting intricate compositions.

Additionally, the new song mode offers the ability to chain scenes together, leading to more structured track arrangements. Sidechaining functionality enables one sound to control another's volume; for example, lowering a bass drum's volume when the kick drum hits, ensuring every element shines in the mix.

The Ultimate Musical Toy Just Became a Serious Tool!

Priced at $299, the KO II sits comfortably between Teenage Engineering’s budget-friendly $59 Pocket Operators and the premium $1,999 OP-1 Field. While it has always been seen as an advanced musical toy, the transformative OS 2.0 update positions it as an essential tool for serious musicians looking to enhance their songwriting and production capabilities.

With these innovative features, the KO II is more than just a synthesizer; it's a canvas for your musical creativity!
