Expressive Performance Controls
The pressure-sensitive keyboard and multifunction fader allow for expressive playing and deep modulation, enabling musicians to create dynamic sounds without navigating complex menus.
The Teenage Engineering EP–40 RIDDIM is a high-performance sampler, sequencer and reggae-focused sound workstation with 12-voice polyphony, pressure-sensitive performance controls and tightly synced MIDI and loop workflows.
EP–40 RIDDIM delivers a compact yet serious creative engine for those who demand precision in live performance and composition. It runs 12 stereo or 16 mono voices with 128MB system memory and offers a subtractive synth architecture alongside an extensive library of over 300 curated reggae instruments and sounds from celebrated producers. The unit combines sampling, sequencing and synthesis in a unified interface, enabling seamless real-time manipulation and loop creation at 46 kHz, 16-bit fidelity. It provides nine user projects for performance preparation and sound design sessions, ensuring rapid recall and structured workflow.
The pressure-sensitive keyboard and multifunction fader enable expressive playing and deep modulation without menu diving. Grid-synced loops allow timing-perfect layering, ideal for dub builds and breakdowns. Tight MIDI sync maintains solid communication with external gear, while the punch-in FX and main FX deliver instant dub sirens, tape-style delays, spring-inspired reverbs and characterful modulation for hands-on shaping in the moment. The unit encourages dynamic, physical interaction, mirroring classic dub performance techniques with modern precision.
Stereo input and output allow flexible routing for sampling and integration with hardware rigs. Sync in and out maintain clock integrity with drum machines and sequencers, and MIDI in and out ensure compatibility with studio and stage setups. USB-C offers modern data handling and power options. The slim 240 x 176 x 16 mm format suits portable rigs yet stays robust for gig use.
