Teenage Engineering Unveils EP–1320 Medieval Sampler

When this arrived via the modern technology of email, there was a double take - is it serious? But yeah, its a thing. An addition to the Knockout II (which we thought was pretty good) and reviewed here.

The EP–1320 Medieval, (c'mon shouldn't it be the EP-1400?) 'tis a middle-ages themed sampler and composer features an array of live recorded medieval instruments, offering a unique and authentic sound experience. - You might want to reread that sentence...

The EP–1320 Medieval boasts hundreds of expertly recorded medieval instruments, including strings, bows, drums, percussion, and foley. Each instrument has been meticulously sampled and is playable across the device's pads. One of the standout features is the demo mode, which allows users to explore built-in sounds, making it ideal for themed events like banquets or fetes.

They must be having a blast in the offices at TE - I bet its fun to work there.

To be honest, we're still not sure its real - but will be asking for a review unit...

The box looks like a collectors item:
