Wow, compared to some of their other products $299 for a TE sampler seems absolutely reasonable and much lower than I expected.

- aa-jv 3y ago64Megs is only going to get you so far. 1010Music Blackbox is by bar a much, much better investment. Screw Teenage Engineering. They degrade everything they touch.
- tecleandor 3y agoBut that's 3x the price and doesn't have a pad, but a touch-screen that might be OK for changing config but not the best for playing. Nothing again the Blackbox, AFAIK it's great, but I think it's a completely different beast than the EP-133. It could be a great upgrade for the (awful and buggy [0] that never got a firmware upgrade even when it's still being sold after 10 years...) AKAI MPX 8. --- [0]: It's so bad that a guy did a "hardware patch" for fixing some of it's MIDI handling problems: https://www.freshnelly.com/mpx8.htm
- monkeynotes 3y agoHaha, those two devices are so different it's not really a useful comparison. One is a sampling groovebox, the other is a sampler module. Use Cases are also totally different. If you want a cheap sampling groovebox with a thoughtful workflow, portable, mic, speaker, battery operated, fun to play with there aren't all that many choices other than maybe the Korg Volca Samples. It's around 3x the price, but it easily has 3x the functionality.
- aa-jv 3y agoThe Blackbox can do everything the EP133 can do and more .. and then there's Smpltrek .. This is just a rich kids toy that'll not make much impact in the music world.. Teenage Engineering have jumped the shark.
