Sidekick, a two-channel mixer that&#8217;s primarily intended for use with its EP-series of samplers. To that end, it ships with little pegs that allow it to physically connect to units like the original K.O. II groovebox and its reggae-inspired cousin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As a matter of fact, it can actually slide right between two Teenage Engineering samplers, acting as the centerpiece of a portable setup. That&#8217;s pretty cool, though I&#8217;d wait until arriving at the gig to snap everything together. Those pins don&#8217;t look incredibly sturdy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"K.O.\u2013SIDEKICK\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yV6Ju9dmWq0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite the connectivity to the K.O. II, the EP-136 is a full-featured stereo mixer that works with just about anything. That includes phones, computers, synthesizers, microphones, turntables and external effects processors, though some of these devices may require cable adapters.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once connected, volume is controlled via standard faders, like any other mixer. Each channel has a three-band EQ and a compressor. The unit also allows access to a number of onboard effects, including delay, tape saturation, tremolo and more. These effects can be adjusted via a pressure-sensitive pad and mod stick. There&#8217;s a little full-color screen for fine-tuning.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A peek at Teenage Engineering&#039;s new KO Sidekick!

It runs on AAA batteries or via a USB-C connection.<\/p>\n<p>The best part? This doodad is $180. Teenage Engineering used to be a company known for extremely expensive musical gadgets for a niche audience, but that perception is slowly changing. The EP-series samplers cost $329.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n<\/article>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Teenage Engineering just released something called the EP-136 K.O.
