Built around reggae, dub and dancehall sound system culture, the EP-40 Riddim carries hundreds of handcrafted instruments and a subtractive synth engine for bass, leads and dub sirens. Pairing it with the K.O.-Sidekick mixer turns that library into a complete rhythm and mixing rig rather than a sampler working through a single output.
The Riddim runs 128 MB of memory across 999 sample slots, with twelve stereo or sixteen mono voices and grid-synced loops feeding a four-track sequencer that reaches down to 1/32 divisions. Seven main effects and twelve Punch-In effects sit across nine user-editable projects for shaping tone before it hits the mix.
From there, the Sidekick brings per-channel EQ with DJ and studio voicings, individual compression and six Knock-Out effects, plus a USB audio interface recording at 48 kHz, 24-bit. Side connector points join the two into one performance surface, with the mixer able to route effects back through the aux for live dub throws and siren drops mid-set.
Both units run on batteries or USB-C, delivering a complete rhythm, bass and mixing system built for the stage as much as the studio
