Sidekick\u003c\/strong\u003e is a two-channel stereo mixer, USB audio interface, and performance effects processor with a built-in motion-control FX sequencer — the first device in the EP family focused entirely on signal routing and mixing rather than sound generation. At 1.6 cm thick and 300 grams, it fits in a jacket pocket and runs on two AAA batteries or USB-C power. Designed as a command center for rigs built around the EP-133 K.O. II and other EP-series devices, it works equally well as a compact DAWless mixer hub or a desktop audio interface. Released May 2026, priced at $169 \/ €189.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTwo channels, three EQ styles, and six effects with motion sequencing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEach of the two stereo channels includes a dedicated gain control, a three-band EQ with three operating styles (DJ — shelving, Studio — broad bands, Parametric — narrow-band precision), a three-mode compressor, and a volume fader. The aux input provides a third session input — usable as an effects return from an external pedal or as an additional source in the mix. A cue button per channel routes the signal to a separate CUE output, bypassing the main mix by default, enabling classic DJ-style preview before bringing a channel in. Six K.O. Performance FX (Filter, Tape Emulation, Delay, Beat Repeat, Tremolo, Siren) are controlled via a pressure-sensitive force pad and a high-resolution mod stick; the Motion Control system allows real-time recording of a two-bar automation loop, so each session can carry a custom motion sequence for FX modulation. Per-channel BPM detection with dual-channel beat-match synchronizes time-based effects to the tempo of the incoming audio signal. Multiple EP-136 units can be chained in series through the aux input, expanding the channel count without a fixed limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eUSB interface and the EP ecosystem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe EP-136 simultaneously functions as a USB 2.0 high-speed audio interface with 8 inputs and 4 outputs, enabling multi-track recording and playback without a separate audio interface. It also operates as a MIDI controller. The EP Pegs physical mounting system — LEGO-compatible — allows the EP-136 to be mechanically attached to an EP-133 K.O. II or other EP-series units, forming a unified hardware block. A high-resolution color LCD displays per-channel BPM, EQ parameters, levels, and effects status. Analog input SNR is 105 dBA for CH1\/CH2 and 108 dBA for the main and cue outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2-channel stereo mixer + aux input as a third session source\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e3-band EQ per channel in three modes: DJ, Studio, Parametric\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e3-mode compressor per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCue button per channel — signal preview before mix, bypasses main out by default\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e6 K.O.
