Teenage Engineering KO II sampler gets lo-fi mode, USB audio in major update

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Verge ·

Teenage Engineering's OS 2.5 update for the $329 EP-133 KO II sampler adds audio over USB, selectable sample rates for lo-fi effects, sample reverse, an arpeggiator, equal-length autochopping, and extends max sample length from 20 seconds. The update is one of the biggest yet for the device.

Meridian48 take
The update significantly expands the KO II's capabilities, but the niche appeal and $329 price point limit its impact beyond dedicated hardware enthusiasts.
