EP-136 to iPhone Voice Memo App

Trying to record out from the Sidekick directly into iPhone via USB C to lightning. Not sure what I’m doing wrong…

In settings, go to USB. Set it to Out, turn it to On.

I can see the sound in the display, but nothing to the iPhone when I hit record on voice memo app. Just the iPhone mic picking up the sounds in the room.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Advice for TE setup for live track playback

Hi. I'm gearing up for a tour soon and plan on covering some track playback as well as keyboards for the artist. It's a support slot on a larger tour. I've run track before, mostly from Ableton with dedicated controllers. But my hope is to avoid having a laptop, and it feels like a fun opportunity to use some of my TE gear. It would mostly be one shot samples on choruses, a loop here and there - nothing too crazy, but all time synced. I'd likely need to be feeding click to the drummer. Between the Riddim, KO II and a sidekick, seems like I could generate a click, cycle between patterns when needed and even trigger one shots from the pads. But am I being naive? or making this too difficult? Has anyone done this type of thing successfully?

Using my tools to make this magic happen!!!

in this video that I'm posting, I'm using the SP 404 mk2, the MPC live one and using the KO sidekick as the middle ground for both of these devices to coexist with each other

New jam with the EP-133, EP-136, and Roland S-1.

Made good progress on my new project this evening. I need to add in the one-shot vocal samples and build out all the scenes, but wanted to share. I’m still working on mixing with the 136. Tonight’s jam was more about fun and I had the idea to record a quick play through.

Quick beat with new M-Vave FM1

I just got the FM1 synth today. So far really happy with it. Aesthetic wise it goes well with TE gear.

This was recorded handheld from my phone and sound is coming from the desk monitors. So apologies for the quality.

Finally got these two bad boys working together.

Took a lot of messing around but I finally got them playing nicely. BLE MIDI was a PITA so just stayed with USB out from the op1 into the opxy. (With a splitter to charge both)
Was able to figure out best way to setup midi tracks on opxy to record sounds on the op1 using the opxy sequencer.
For whatever reason, I would have imagined these two playing better together. But as well.

EP133 KO II - 128 MB - QC 2026

Has anyone seen this type of issue before? A swath of icons are missing chunks, or maybe obscured by some contaminant under the display cover (see "FX" and "Erase", for example). Brand new, purchased during -30% sale. Took forever to get here. Considering not going through replacement process, which will take over a month, and just sucking it up instead - but knowing me, whenever I see these icons I'll get annoyed.

EP-40 to IPad Help

Hello, I just got an EP40 and am very excited to try it out, I went to update it but on both Chrome and Brave I keep getting told I need to use a browser that allows for usb midi like Chrome or Brave. I tried to request the desktop page to see if that would help but it was no dice. I also looked at the settings to see if I could enable USB MIDI in the browser, but nothing it coming up in the specific browser settings/in the iPad setting themselves. When I plug the EP40 into my iPad the usb icon lights up on the EP40, but there is no indication the iPad is aware of it. Has anyone else had this trouble? I am using the usb-c to usb-c cord that came with my iPad, could that be the issue? I was under the impression it could also handle data.

Thank you for any and all help! I tried Google and YouTube before coming here and am still stumped.

P.s. On a smaller note, when sequencing a beat using steps I’ve found I can only hear one sound per step, is that normal? I have the sounds set to key under the sound edit menu and Google said it would fix it but when I try to play a bass drum and high hat at the same time which ever one was inputted first gets muted.

Great pair to mix and stack some effects 🔮

Been playing around with these two bad boys, and its incredible.

Still a long way to go and a lot of room for experimention and better interpretations, also definitely have to find a way to get cleaner stems (have tried Audacity and the solderless.engineering stems separator one, having better results with Audacity so far)

Riddim question

I just got a new Riddim. I have a Medieval, but no Ep-133. My Medieval is loud through the speaker. This Riddim is very quiet in comparison, even with the volume all the way up. Does this mean it’s defective? There is nowhere in my town I can see one to compare it with.

DMGo! (Gameboy) sync test with Pocket operator

Working in this experimental drum machine for gameboy (DMGo!) that makes all kind of retro blips blops. Now it can play along perfectly synced with pocket operator machines via a custom cable (Gb cable link to mini jack socket)

Can the OP-XY Drum and Bass?

Drum and Bass made on the OP-XY using a series of One-shots drums, Bass loops, pads, and a whole lot of tinkering with the frequencies. Hope you enjoy this one.

Can it Drum and Bass? .... Let me know

Such a fun device. I‘ve never used a sampler before and just played around with the auto-chop for a few minutes!

I still have to learn a lot, I just wanted to share my joy because it’s soooo much fun!

Problem trying to fix EP-133 (KO II) speaker

Hi there! I've read about how to fix the speaker when it arrives new and doesn't work. I tried and I confirmed that the problem was a not enough tight screw... But a new problem has happened to me now.

At project 9, when I press some pad from groups A, B or C, or if I press Play, sound starts in a loop, and doesn't stop. Wih just one simple touch. It started to happened before I had tightened two screws at speaker zone. I don't know how to fix this. May you help me?

I want to check if something else doesn't works as expected. At this moment I only've found this issue, though.

Thanks for your attention
