Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim n' Ting, With Shoulder Bag

Full Description

EP-40 Riddim

Sample, resample and sculpt your own sounds

Sampling on Riddim is central to its design. Press Sample to capture from mic, line-in or resample your own patterns, then assign recordings directly to pads. Input level and recording threshold are adjustable, ensuring clean takes in any setting.

Hands-free sampling can record the exact length of your loop or multiple bars, ideal for capturing evolving textures. Resampling merges layers or entire sections into a single sample, streamlining performance setups.

With the EP sample tool, users can transfer projects between Riddim and computer, preserve low sample rates for lo-fi character, and store up to 50 minutes of mono audio in the internal memory. Chop mode lets you slice recordings automatically using beat detection or manually by ear, with precise control over start and end points via dedicated knobs.

Play, sequence and build complete tracks

Creating a beat on Riddim is immediate. Each project can contain multiple groups and up to 99 patterns per group. Press Record and Play to capture ideas live with a four-count in, or hold Record to input per-step for pinpoint sequencing. Extend patterns, adjust tempo between 40 and 399 BPM, and commit your work to save scenes as new song sections. Keys mode transforms the pads into a chromatic keyboard for melodies or basslines, while scale selection ensures every note fits the track.

Advanced controls for unbound creation

Quantise keeps performances tight, and Timing Correct can be applied to single notes for detailed rhythm control. Note Repeat enables fast hat rolls or rhythmic triggers that follow the chosen note interval, from 1/1 to 1/32 including triplet divisions.

The fader adjusts group volume by default but can control any assignable parameter. Two rotary knobs manage tempo, swing, filter or FX, while holding Shift slows control for fine adjustment. With Song Mode, up to 99 scenes can be arranged to form a full track. Commit saves progress and duplicates scenes, allowing new variations without overwriting previous sections.

Shape your mix with powerful FX and live performance tools

Riddim’s FX engine includes delay, reverb, distortion, chorus, filter, compressor and phaser, each easily accessed through the FX button. Every group can send to one master effect, while the total mix passes through a final compressor for consistent output

Hold FX to transform the pads into Punch-In FX controls that add real-time performance gestures and pressure-sensitive modulation. Live Input FX processes any external signal through the same effects chain, letting synths or mics share the sound design space.

The master compressor provides control over drive and speed, tightening drums and smoothing mixes, while sidechain compression can duck specific sounds using note triggers to shape groove and movement. Vinyl-style tempo behaviour slows and detunes audio naturally during tempo shifts for organic feel in Live State mode.

EP-40 Shoulder Bag

Stylish protection for your EP-40 riddim

The Teenage Engineering EP–40 Shoulder Bag is designed for musicians and creators who want to keep their gear safe and organised while on the move. Its heavy cotton canvas shell provides strong protection for the EP–40 and EP-2350 mic, while the padded lining shields against everyday knocks.

Inside, two dedicated compartments hold each device securely, with extra space for smaller accessories such as cables or adapters. The wide cotton strap keeps the lid firmly closed and includes a handy clip point for the ting mic, adding flexibility to your setup.

An adjustable shoulder strap ensures comfortable carrying, and a hidden back pocket gives you quick access to essentials. Made entirely from organic cotton, the EP-40 Shoulder Bag combines functionality with a clean, minimal design that fits naturally into your Teenage Engineering setup.
