Teenage Engineering has released the EP–133 K.O.II, a $300 groovebox that combines a drum machine, synthesizer, and sampler. The device, an upgrade to the smaller PO-33 K.O, has a retro 1980s design and features oversized buttons and knobs. Teenage Engineering is known for its unique and visually appealing audio gear, and while some may find their products overdesigned or overpriced, the company's focus on creating emotional responses sets them apart. The Knock Out II strikes a balance between affordability and higher-end gear, making it an enticing option for musicians. Although mastering the device may take time, its approachable design invites users to explore its features.
