{"product_id":"teenage-engineering-ep-40-riddim-sampler","title":"Teenage Engineering EP-40 RIDDIM Sampler","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Teenage Engineering EP-40 RIDDIM combines sampling, synthesis and hands-on performance in an instrument built around reggae, dub and dancehall. Its factory sound collection and artist contributions provide a strong musical starting point, while user sampling gives you the freedom to develop your own identity. Build a bass-led groove, bring in a vocal phrase and use the front-panel controls to turn the arrangement into a live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBegin with the rhythm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRIDDIM's collection includes more than 300 sounds alongside musical contributions from reggae producers and artists. Percussion, bass material and multisampled instruments help you establish the essential parts of a track quickly. Keys, guitar and melodica textures can sit alongside your own recordings, making it easy to move between a recognisable genre foundation and a more personal production style. Included artist material also gives you something substantial to explore when learning the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe onboard subtractive synth engine adds another source of sound beyond the sample library. Use its bass and synthesiser presets as the foundation of a part, then shape the result within your pattern. Pressure-sensitive dub sirens provide a more explicitly performative element: they respond to touch and can become accents, transitions or the central voice of a breakdown. This combination of sampled and synthesised material makes RIDDIM useful for both tightly structured writing and looser improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKeep the arrangement moving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrid-synchronised loops help musical phrases sit within a shared rhythmic framework. Record new ideas, change the relationship between parts and build variations without losing the pulse. The pressure-sensitive keys and multifunction fader keep the most expressive decisions under your hands, giving you direct control over changes that would otherwise involve a separate editing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEffects are part of the instrument's musical vocabulary. Send a phrase into an effect, pull back another part and let a transition develop as you perform it. Main effects and punch-in effects offer different levels of intervention, from an ongoing sense of space to an immediate rhythmic interruption. This is particularly effective for dub-style arrangements, where the balance between a sound and the space around it can become the performance itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample, connect and take it with you\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stereo input lets you add material from other instruments or line-level sources, while the built-in microphone offers a quick route for capturing ideas. Connect a mixer or recording system through the stereo output, and use MIDI or sync to integrate compatible external equipment. USB-C supports a computer-connected workflow as well as powering the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent OS 2.5 adds USB audio recording and monitoring, reverse playback, adjustable recording sample rates and refinements to chopping and timestretching. Firmware-dependent features require the relevant update. Four AAA batteries provide an alternative for sessions away from a powered desk, and the compact layout makes RIDDIM easy to bring into an existing hardware setup. Whether it is your main beat-making instrument or a focused source of rhythms, samples and performance gestures, the EP-40 gives you a practical way to keep sound selection, composition and live manipulation connected. This listing is for the EP-40 itself; the Ting microphone and shoulder bag are separate accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teenage Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58563968172415,"sku":"TEE0187","price":299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/teenage-engineering-tee0187-2560.jpg?v=1790593531","url":"https:\/\/sxpro.co.uk\/products\/teenage-engineering-ep-40-riddim-sampler","provider":"SX Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
