Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval - ALL SOUNDS demo & Instrument Overview
Teenage Engineering launches the second in the EP series today with the introduction of the EP-1320 Medieval! Following on the trend they started with the Pocket Operator series, this second EP device has a theme, which leans into Medieval sounds, demonstration songs and graphic treatment on the device itself and even in the documentation.
While many will criticize the launch of a new device that so closely follows the prior in the series (the KO II EP-133), perhaps this opinionated approach to sampler/sequencer devices could inspire new music that would never have been made with the more general approaches taken in so many existing devices. Listening to the demo songs on the device is inspiring toward this end...
Time will tell whether the EP series continues along this path of theme-based instruments - and hopefully the next few in the series, in addition to having theme-based samples, will also introduce sound-making and song-making features which are theme-aligned.
If you have ideas of what the next theme should be - please leave it in the comments!!
My first guess: 80's punk bands... or maybe even a license deal with one band - like Echo and the Bunnymen, or even more mainstream rock, like Pink Floyd or Devo... so many choices...
This video provides an introduction to the device, a summary of the similarity to the EP-133 KO II, and an audio demo of all the sounds and taste of every one of the 9 demo songs!

    Crippled sampler with a read-only sound pack? I'd much more appreciate a decent sampler with paid sound packs. The environment would appreciated it too.

    Useful video, sucked all curiosity out of it for me thank you. I think a lot of people don't get these units, the limitations are the essence of the design. Even a 404 is too complex for its own good, better to just use Maschine or a DAW. The idea of hardware/DAWless is to have fun. Here they locked in the silly sounds to prevent anyone from redefining this as a non-medieval KO2. It's a novelty item, my first impression was April Fools joke, but they may sell 1000 mostly to people who never make music largely as something cool to have on the coffeetable.

      They locked up the memory so it's the same, we're in an age where where you know they could put at least a couple gigs of memory in there, I'm just thoroughly convinced teenage engineering goes to a China trade show finds manufacturers of older hardware. That's cheap, then pays a guy a lot of money to make it look cool.
