Continuing in their innovative series of musicmaking devices, we're met with the vivacious, tropical tones of the Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim. Part of TE's dynamic EP sampler series, the EP-40 Riddim delivers on a powerful and expressive sampling, sequencing, and songwriting experience alongside a robust reggae-inspired musical palette.

The EP-40 Riddim comes together with classic Teenage Engineering design packed to the brim with exciting, musical functions. At the core of the EP-40 is a powerful sampler and sequencer. This expansive sampling and sequencing engine puts players in the driver's seat with grid-oriented sequencing that quickly gets things going. The EP-40 makes for quick inspiration with an incredibly streamlined workflow and its high-fidelity sampling frequency.

As you work through the Riddim's seamless sampling and sequencing experience, you get into more of TE's extended synthesizing functions. Onboard, the EP-40 features a subtractive synth engine accessible through the sampler's pressure sensitive keys and multifunctional fader. Playability is a priority with the EP-40 as it leans into its reggae influences through hundreds of onboard reggae, dub, and dancehall instruments, sound effects, and samples. These features are built upon with the compatible EP-2350 Ting microphone's (not included as a bundle) four live voice effects (Echo, Echo and Spring, Pixie, and Robot) and onboard sample slots which can be triggered on-the-fly.

Functionally, we get classic Teenage Engineering connectivity and storage. One hundred and twenty-eight megabytes of system memory line up with nine onboard editable projects. The EP-40 Riddim features stereo in and out connections for extensive routing options while onboard MIDI implementation and USB-C open it up for external control and integration with existing setups. With all the EP-40's sampling superpowers, it's very much a candidate for your primary sampling engine.
