The EP-136 KO Sidekick is Teenage Engineering’s stylish new two-channel mixer, clearly designed to connect two of its KO-II samplers for live performances and DJ sets. Though, it can connect any two audio sources, not just TE gear. The mixer leaked a couple of times, but what those leaks didn’t show was that it’s also a robust effects processor that brings some of TE’s beloved punch-in effects to any instrument in your arsenal.
