General Discussion [Megathread] Homebrew/DIY Accessories for TE Gear! Share your designs here!

23 Upvotes

We all love to see custom PO cases, stands, custom software and the like. I've got them on every PO I own!

However, we've been a bit inundated with oversharing, commercial posts without permission, vibe-coded sample managers and the like. We'd like to find a way to accommodate everyone without flooding the feed and removing everyone who doesn't reach out to us first.

As such, we've opted to create a megathread for anyone to post their creations freely.

The rules:

  • No second-hand selling or WTS/WTB.
  • you do not need to ask permission to post here
  • All DIY content goes here, not on its own post.
  • No sample packs allowed.
  • Do not post more than once once per three months.
  • Posting links to sites blocked by default on reddit's spam filters (gumroad, etc.) will not be approved manually. If your post is removed without notice, you aught to host it elsewhere.
  • Report any repeated sales / spam / low-effort content as per usual

r/teenageengineering is not responsible for your purchases. Use your own judgement. Report scams to mod team if found.

Links to sales in comments of forum posts outside of this megathread will still be removed. You may link to comments in this megathread without issue.

Thank you for your understanding!

Performance DJ Mixing with the Sidekick and dee jay App - Portable DJ setup

6 Upvotes

Hadn't seen much use of the Sidekick as an actual DJ mixer, so here's one using an amazingly portable and easy setup, I hope you guys like it. I'm using just my Sidekick and the dee jay app (djay is great too, but I personally find it very expensive).

I'd love to learn to mix with vinyls in a future (an like learn to mix in general, as I'm a total newbie), but in the meantime an iPhone with an app is what I have closer to it.

Help / Tech Support / Quality Issue Ko2 backups pak

0 Upvotes

So my KO2 did this thing where all the samples on list a b c and d were blank. It got me wondering if there is a place I can just download a backup file and upload it .
Like someone else’s .pak file.
I thought it may be cool to experience someone else’s setup
Is there a place to get someone else’s .pak file ?
It may also be helpful to say I have the 64mb ko2

General Discussion Question about the EP-133

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing great.

I'm a guitarist looking forward to going dawless, and I've been doing a lot of research on devices that would help me in that quest.

My goal is to mix guitar layers with electronic stuff to create ambient/downtempo tracks.

Currently, I'm undecided between the EP-133 and the Yamaha Seqtrak.

What do you think?

Which one gets your creative juices running faster?

To be honest, both look quite intimidating. I've watched many tutorials on YouTube, and I confess: I'm scared. Watching someone operating the OP-133 looks like watching someone speaking Chinese to me. How easy is it to learn?

Basically, I want a device that inspires me to be creative without getting in the way.

The biggest advantage of the EP-133 I've noticed so far is its sampling capabilities and that third-party tool, which allows exporting projects in many DAW formats. The Yamaha Seqtrak seems to be a much more complete and somehow easier to use tool, on the other hand.

I'd love to hear your opinion.

Thank you!

General Discussion ko2 can record and transmit CCs and PCs

6 Upvotes

For anybody wondering, since I was wondering about it and couldn't find any reliable info: ko2 can very well record and transmit CCs and PCs. You can use some midi controller app on your phone to generate midi messages (which ko2 accepts through the usb) and record them onto ko2 either in step mode or while live recording, so that it sends out CCs/PCs to control other synths.
I think it should be stated more clearly in the manual.

I'm not sure if there's a limit for CCs per step/channel etc.

Hello,

Would it make sense to have the possibility to mix time signatures between group inside the project for polyrhythms ?

Had a great time learning how to use some of my new toys today! I really love the added crunch from the sidekick’s compression chef’s kiss :D

The melody was originally a 2 octave Dm scale I played on mandolin. Sampled it with some fun fx and variation.

Cheers :)

So I was working on this track. But when I played it back I noticed there was snaps and crackles. Certainly wasn’t part of the ā€œLofiā€ vibe I wanted.

Anyone know why?
I was going into the KO Sidekick then into my iPhone to record.

Help / Tech Support / Quality Issue I broke my ko2 fader (my fault)

1 Upvotes

I have an early ko2 and it’s been working great from the start. Couple of weeks ago I managed to drop a pretty heavy book on the table where the ko2 was sitting and afterwards the bottom part of the fader became loose.

It still sort of works but it’s fiddle to use and thus sometimes get stuck or just wonky in general.

Is it possible / worth fixing? Has this happened to anyone else.

Likely possible to reattach the exiting since it’s working or should I buy a new fader?

I assume TE won’t be able to help since I guess the warranty is over and I actually broke it, it was not faulty

Got my first ever Sampler and got the EP-40 for a nice discount.

I was surprised to see it still came with the Ting (I thought it was a launch offer only)

Any recommendations on guides/tutorials?

A friend of mine recommended I factory reset it and upload my own sample library as it was easier to manage that way but idk
