The EP-133 is super special. It reminds me a lot of my vintage MPCs in that the KO-II's limitations are the spark to creativity. The one thing I love about it the most is the screen. Because it is so lackluster it actually makes it great, haha! Let's make a track from scratch using the EP-133!

@ColonelForkEyes 2 месяца назад

I'm almost jealous you get to experience this device as a 'gateway'. It's so accessible and enjoyable to play around with. I've barely even sampled with it because I've been having enough fun making beats with the factory sounds. Plus I wanted to wait until the project export function was ready ;) But between fun hands on gear like this and the wealth of free tuition on RU-vid there's never been a better time to get into making music :)

@@ColonelForkEyes I haven't played an instrument or produced in quite a while, although I have a Push 2 for Ableton, this is getting me back into the groove. It may not have sidechain, it may lack plenty of effects; but the simplicity of it.. God damn, I just imagine the step sequencer when playing around polyphonically while playing Phase Plant sampled patches and making a beat, then send the stems back to Ableton and finish the mix/fx there. It also works for hip hop / lofi and am trying to get into it, coming from producing house since Ableton 7... This just made me realize that I'm getting older and time flies. Make the most of it everyone, don't doom on the current zeitgeist!

It’s not made to be a full fledged dawless sampler with a ton of features and extras and can run on 4 AAA batteries. The limitations open up doors for more creativity, and with a natural flow. Plus have they even seen the full manual for this thing?? It’s crazy the amount of stuff you can do with the KO 2 if you actually go through it and learn its ins and outs. And they are constantly dropping updates for it too with new features. Props for you really getting a grip with it’s workflow cuz it’s helped me with mine 💯

The velocity only applies on the pressure you put on a pad. Or you can copy and paste the sample and adjust the volume (AMP) for each one. Similar to the PO-33 so the memory of the sample volume stays in that specific pad/button.

If the song is major, if the chord is starting on the (I) you can pitch the chord +0, +5, +7, -5, or -7 semitones and it will still fit the key. Because a major key has 3 major chords in it (I, IV, and V) starting on the 0, 5, 7th semitones, so you have three options to pitch shift a major chord. Same for minor keys.

@RickyTinez 2 месяца назад

It really depends on your goal. If you want to sequence external gear using midi, that’s not possible on the SP. Also on the SP, it can step sequence and make a beat like a groove box but it’s a bit more cumbersome. If you’re trying to process and run it through a bunch of facts and do a ton of sampling, the SP wins. If you want to make a beat like a groove box and do some sequencing and simple sampling. The EP wins.
