The K.O.-Sidekick was designed as the companion to the K.O. II, and this bundle puts the pairing together the way Teenage Engineering intended. The EP-133 K.O. II handles sampling, sequencing and composing on its own, while the Sidekick adds the mixing, effects and interface layer the sampler was built to plug into.
On the sampler side, 128 MB of memory and 999 sample slots sit behind twelve velocity-sensitive pads and a built-in mic, with six send effects and Punch-In effects shaping sounds as they are captured. A four-group sequencer covers everything from single loops to full arrangements.
The Sidekick answers with two stereo channels of three-band EQ, individual compression and six Knock-Out performance effects, alongside a USB audio interface that records the whole session at 48 kHz, 24-bit. Side connector points lock the two units into one enclosure, and the Sidekick can route its effects back through the aux input for on-the-fly remixing rather than a fixed signal path.
Both run on batteries or USB-C, making this the most direct route from a bare K.O. II to a complete sample, mix and record setup
