Teenage Engineering EP-40 riddim

Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim is a unique sampler, sequencer and creative arranger inspired by reggae, dub and dancehall culture. It blends classic Jamaican sound aesthetics with a modern workflow, offering powerful tools for beat creation, looping and live performance. Designed for expressive and spontaneous music-making, it combines organic grooves with digital precision and the signature Teenage Engineering design.

The EP-40 includes over 300 carefully crafted sounds and presets, featuring classic bass tones, dub percussion, reggae synths and pressure-sensitive dub sirens. With its subtractive synth engine, 12-voice stereo polyphony (16 mono), multi-pattern sequencing, grid-synced looping and flexible FX engine, it enables deep sound design and full track creation. From bass-heavy grooves to atmospheric textures, EP-40 delivers immediate creative flow.

Intuitive pressure-sensitive keys and a multifunction fader provide expressive hands-on control over dynamics, effects and parameters. Comprehensive connectivity — stereo I/O, sync I/O, MIDI and USB-C — ensures seamless integration with studio and live setups. With battery or USB-C power, EP-40 is ready for mobile sessions, improvisation, remixes and live sound system performances anytime, anywhere.
