Teenage Engineering’s Riddim looks similar conscionable different instrumentality connected the company’s EP–133 KO II sampler. But it really has a batch much going on, particularly erstwhile paired with the caller EP–2350 Ting mic. 

The Ting has amusive CB-radio vibes, and TE describes it arsenic being “lo-fi by design.” It’s got 4 built-in voice-changing effects, including echo, pixie, robot, and – indispensable for each dub reggae jams – echo positive outpouring reverb.
