{"product_id":"teenage-engineering-ep-1320-medieval-sampler","title":"Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval Sampler","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval brings an unusual sound world into a familiar, immediate sampling workflow. Its library draws on historical instruments, voices and atmospheric recordings, giving producers a starting point far removed from a conventional drum-machine preset bank. Use it to build a complete medieval-inspired piece, add distinctive textures to modern electronic music or sample your own material and see where the combination leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA sound library with its own character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHurdy-gurdy drones, plucked strings, percussion and evocative effects provide musical material with a strong sense of place. These sounds can supply the main identity of a track or become small details within a much broader arrangement. A short phrase might work as a hook; a sustained instrument could become a backdrop; a percussive recording can be chopped into an entirely new rhythm. The EP-1320 encourages you to treat the library as an instrument rather than a collection to browse once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside the fixed sound library, dedicated user sample memory lets you introduce your own recordings. Capture material through the built-in microphone or stereo input, then play and sequence it from the front panel. Combining a contemporary vocal, a familiar synthesiser or an everyday sound with the onboard collection can be especially productive. You decide how far the medieval theme shapes the final music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlay the rhythm and shape the movement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVelocity- and pressure-sensitive keys make the EP-1320 responsive to how you perform. Record parts in real time, build variations and organise sounds across groups so that a developing track stays manageable. The pattern-based sequencer provides a framework for experimentation, allowing you to keep a successful idea while trying a different rhythmic or melodic direction around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multifunction fader is a central part of the experience. It gives your hand a clear, physical connection to changes in the sound, whether you are introducing a subtle transition or pushing an effect into the foreground. Send effects create space and colour; punch-in effects provide immediate gestures for fills, breaks and more disruptive moments. The onboard arpeggiator and playable instrument sounds open up further ways to turn a simple note choice into a moving phrase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn instrument for writing and performing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EP-1320 works as a self-contained musical sketchbook, but it also connects comfortably with other equipment. Use MIDI to bring a keyboard or sequenced hardware into the session, and sync compatible devices when you want a shared pulse. A stereo output lets you record a performance or feed a mixer, while the internal speaker is useful for developing ideas without setting up a separate monitoring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBattery power makes it easy to move between rooms, rehearsal spaces and portable writing sessions. USB-C offers another power option, and USB audio is available with the relevant current firmware. The compact panel keeps sampling, sequencing and performance close together, so a sound can move from a first experiment into a finished pattern without a lengthy change of workflow. For producers, composers and sound designers looking for a distinctive source of musical ideas, Medieval offers both a recognisable character and room to make it your own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teenage Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58563967811967,"sku":"TEE0142","price":299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/teenage-engineering-tee0142-2560.jpg?v=1790593518","url":"https:\/\/sxpro.co.uk\/products\/teenage-engineering-ep-1320-medieval-sampler","provider":"SX Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
