"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."
"Yes, it is primarily a sampler that just happens to be loaded with reggae focused sounds from the likes of King Jammy and Mad Professor. But, it also boasts one additional main effect, double the storage, and a proper subtractive synth engine called Supertone. Supertone can deliver bass thump and classic leads, but it also has a dub siren mode that's pressure sensitive - the harder you press the faster it oscillates."
Teenage Engineering's EP-40 Riddim is a reggae-focused spinoff of the KO II sampler that adds one extra main effect, doubles storage, and includes a subtractive synth engine called Supertone. Supertone produces bass and classic leads and features a pressure-sensitive dub siren mode that oscillates faster with harder pressure. The EP-2350 Ting mic offers a lo-fi, CB-radio vibe with four voice-changing effects (echo, pixie, robot, and echo plus spring reverb), a side lever for live effect changes, and four user-swappable sample triggers. Ting is currently available only in a $329 Riddim n' Ting bundle, and the devices provide notable value compared with higher-priced gear.
