EP-40 Riddim + EP-2350 Ting Launch Bundle

Teenage Engineering broke new ground with this bundle by blending a portable groovebox tailored for reggae and dub vibes with a dedicated handheld mic, letting you capture raw vocal takes or field recordings on the fly.

The EP-40 Riddim packs a 128MB sampler with over 300 reggae-inspired sounds—drums, basslines, melodic stabs, multisampled keys, and effects—plus a Supertone subtractive synth engine offering 10 presets from gritty bass to soaring leads and pressure-sensitive dub sirens. It features 12 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads across 4 groups with 99-bar sequencers, punch-in FX like echo, spring reverb, and robot voice, plus 7 main effects for live looping and remixing; sample via built-in mic, stereo line-in, or the bundled EP-2350 Ting mic. Controls include X/Y knobs for tweaking synth params like cutoff, resonance, unison, and LFO, a fader, dedicated buttons for all functions, and live performance modes with tempo matching and sidechain. At 9.5 x 7 x 0.7 inches and 620g, it's battery-powered with a belt clip, built-in speaker, stereo out, and sync/MIDI I/O for chaining with other gear.

Early users love its authentic one-take dub workflow and how the Ting mic adds organic grit to samples, though some note the lack of a headphone jack as a tradeoff for its ultra-portable design.
