“The K.O. II is designed to be fast and fun, and help you make a beat as quickly as you can,” says teenage engineering Sales-Education Representative Will Gunning. “It’s both a sketchpad and a music production machine that includes a live recorder, step sequencer and sampler. When you’re on the go, in the studio, onstage or ‘in the ring,’ the K.O. II is a powerful tool for music making.”

Hands down the best tutorial/introduction of the ep133 out there, great job mate!

[elementlab]

I adore my KO II, and most of all, Will! I wish he could do all the official TE videos.These need to be on the official website for all their products.You're the best, Will.

[estascosasraras]

this might be the best guide for the KO-II, I have seen other ones and some are even broken in many tutorials yet the way this is explained is simpler, you can pause the video and follow along.Most other videos start giving a birds eye view of the interface and then barrel trough the use of the device so you never really know what the hell happen or you have to watch them too many times.

This kid Will is my favorite. He’s very easy to follow and always super enthusiastic about all the TE gear! 🙌🏼

[BassAnywhere]

His composition has such a lovely Zelda vibe, love it !

[noblewhitneyIII]

this has to been the easiest tutorial to follow thank you will

[iamghostgun]

Great overview! Don’t sleep on the note repeat (timing + pads) and solos (FX + Groups for soloing groups or Shift + Pads for soloing individual sounds)

[corsegerspwnd]

That fader control dude i have the revision 2.0 with rubber band attachment it's scary as f to assemble it

[bwest]

Love mine! Got lucky as it was first batch and no issues.

[CookingNoise]

I also got the first batch through guitar center, no issues, just lots of fun.

[mannyo]

Do they sell those short field cables? I can only find them in the 4ft length and those look a good bit shorter in the video.

[kokomanation]

Can I connect electric guitar or and synth to this ?

[theonecalledvino]

Very interesting! I thought that was a high end Calculator..

[estascosasraras]

Hi, is there a way to connect the KO II to garage band? Would you use midi use C or would you use the other connections? Do you require special cables to connect your computer using the midi in and out?

[dustydigitally]

Sample has a little distortion.. kinda hurts the ears 👂🏾

[wraaangsolo]

I had to return mine, it's extremely fragile.

[AnthonyHewitt-wzbl]

I was interested until I heard that what he made on it, like a kids keyboard player
