Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval Sampler, Drum Machine and Sequencer with Built-in Microphone and Effects

The media could not be loaded. Impulse bought this thing after Christmas. I really can't emphasize enough how entertaining it is to get your hands on this thing. It's like a sketchbook for musicians. I was blown away by how powerful it's functionality was. With a few days to learn the controls and reasonable and intentional limitations, you can really make anything you might want to on a regular DAW. I do wish you could have different effects on different tracks, or perhaps a few options for the punch in effects pads (which let you sort of dj the thing) but for 4 triple a batteries it's a dream. Really is just the greatest toy for musicians.

Confusing, very confusing. I’ve spent probably 15 hours with this thing so far and it’s very cool but it’s difficult to learn, and the fact that you have to translate everything from English to medieval words to buttons makes it a bit more of a headache than it needs to be. Super portable though.

Insanely useful for arrangement, incredibly fun effects, a total fun time investment. Only one qualm with this thing, the medieval, you have to use all the samples in the same key if you plan on using them together. There’s no way to change the starting pitch I don’t think. It’s very frustrating. However a midi keyboard can obviously solve this, but it would still be a math problem dealing with what key you’re composing in and what key it says it is.Silly TE, real musicians want a way to solve this without paying for a 200$ midi keyboard. If I’m wrong I’d love to be, regardless for the price this piece of gear is just a BLAST to use and that’s why I still give it 5 stars

Simply awesome

Bought this for my daughter. She likes it.
