Synthesisers

Notes: The best of both worlds, offering a nice saving over buying both separately: the iconic OP-1 Field synth/sequencer/sampler combines with the super fun EP-133 KO II sampler to make a creative combo.

OP-1 FIELD SYNTHESISER

Injected with more than a decade of ideas, refinements and improvements. Just to mention a few: stereo throughout the whole signal chain, Bluetooth MIDI, USB type-C, a new speaker system with a passive driver for detailed, fat and loud sound, a massive 24 hour battery life, multiple tapes and recording formats, new great sounding reverb and the 'dimension' synth engine, an all glass, flush, high resolution display. The graphics have also been meticulously reworked, screen by screen.

Think of OP-1 field as the natural continuation of its predecessor. Updated with the latest technology, improved design and finely tuned with professional musicians, recording artists and sound designers in mind. Higher quality in all aspects, from its circuitry to connectivity and flexibility, it's tailor made for professionals in the field. The new stereo sample engine is just one of the features that takes the OP-1 field to a higher level. With increased sampling time up to 20 seconds and dual layer mode for instant mixing of the a and b channels or via an assigned LFO.

Four new recording formats: Studio 4-track, vintage 4-track, porta and disc mini. All with their own unique characteristics and graphics. Now with multiple tapes or discs, up to 8 in total.

If it feels thinner, it is. By lowering the aluminium body around the keyboard, the new OP-1 field feels lighter, thinner and more precise. with 2k moulding Teenage Engineering have also managed to fit a dual 2.4 GHz antenna system inside the aluminium body.

The back is warm, velcro and bass. Two soft velcro rings have been added on the back for fastening covers and accessories. Perhaps you want to stick your op-1 field on top of your full size keyboard, or slap it on a guitar? Use the included adhesive looped back and start experimenting. On the right you'll find an additional passive loudspeaker for hugely improved bass. And for a 'no-more-cold-metal-on-your-lap' experience, the aluminium body has been folded in a warm, soft touch, hard cover.

The first accessory out using the velcro rings is the Bill Amberg leather wrap that attaches to the back and wraps around the op-1 field and locks around the encoders.

EP-133 KO II AUDIO SAMPLER/SEQUENCER/COMPOSER

Meet the next evolution of the world's most sold sampler. Based on the legendary PO-33 K.O!, the new EP-133 K.O. II adds more power, more sampling capabilities, a fully reworked sequencer and brand new punch-in 2.0 effects. Introducing a workflow that lets you go from idea to track faster than ever. It's pocket operators gone pro. A versatile machine with an impressive set of features, K.O. II is the new champion in and outside the studio. Unrivaled by anything in its class, this is the sampler you've always wanted.

Record sounds around you, sample your voice, favorite synths, vinyl records or whatever audio that you've got on your phone. Sequence your samples and loops. Make use of the curated selection of drums, bass and keys that come pre-loaded on your K.O. II. Tweak and automate things like filter, pitch and more... add stereo effects, compressor and next generation punch-in effects.

The sequencer engine of the K.O. II provides an intuitive, fast way of building up beats and variations using 4 groups x 12 patterns. Like most DAWs, you can instantly swap patterns per group, experiment with different combos to find what beat and bass lines work together. The commit button helps you freeze a point in time and move on, adding a verse or a break. It all happens in real time while playing.

Notes: No-nonsense analogue business here from JMT. Square wave VCO and sub-oscillators can be morphed and wave folded to create unique timbres.

Supplier's Notes:
The JMT Synth EWG is a desktop analog synthesiser with a wide-ranging VCO and two reconfigurable sub-oscillators that emit square waves, ideal for thick bass tones. Two adjacent knobs can control the pulse of the square waves, allowing for a wide range of tones and timbres. Two reduce knobs govern the leve of each sub-oscillator, allowing the user to blend the tones to their taste. The EWG-1 is powered by a DC9V center negative adapter or a single 9V battery.

Notes: Quirky synth fun from JMT, the NDE-1 is based around two oscillators, sample and hold, noise generator and a four-pole low-pass filter. Generate random tones, control via a sequencer or process external audio.

Supplier's Notes:
This model consists of two VCOs (oscillators), SAMPLE & HOLD, noise generator, low-pass filter, LFO, VCA, and envelope generator to create a powerful sound.

By itself, a wide range of sounds can be created, including random and regular intermittent sounds, mute timing, and fine-tuning of levels.

If you input sounds from other equipment through the A IN, you can apply a variety of filters, LFOs that oscillate the filters, and mutes to the input sounds in parallel with the built-in oscillator.

The variable range is wide enough to produce a variety of sounds. The filter is a 4-pole filter that works very smoothly, and external audio can be input via A IN.

You can also use it with a sequencer to create even more sounds.

CV INPUTs can accept - + 9V. Do not exceed this voltage.

The adapter is not included.

Please use centre negative 9V POWER SUPPLY or A 9V battery.
