With a built-in synth engine and expanded storage, Riddim n’ Ting are more than just a rebadge of the KO II sampler.

Teenage Engineering’s Riddim looks like just another take on the company’s EP–133 KO II sampler. But it actually has a lot more going on, especially when paired with the new EP–2350 Ting mic.

The Ting has fun CB-radio vibes, and TE describes it as being “lo-fi by design.” It’s got four built-in voice-changing effects, including echo, pixie, robot, and – essential for all dub reggae jams – echo plus spring reverb. There’s a lever on the side of the mic too, for modifying effects on the fly as you’re performing. You can also trigger four user-swappable samples directly from the mic.

Unfortunately, right now, you can only get Ting as part of a $329 Riddim n’ Ting bundle. We’ve reached out to TE to see if the company will be offering it separately at some point.
