What makes this different from EP-133?
The EP-1320 (called "Medieval" in its interface and manual) is a distinct device with its own personality, though it shares some DNA with the EP-133 K.O. II. Here are the key differences based on what the manual tells us.
Name and theme
The EP-1320 is themed around medieval music and aesthetics. Button names use Latin, such as codex (record), fabula (play), manus (main), sonus (sound), pocus (effects), and erado (erase).
Effects
The EP-1320's effects have medieval-flavored names, including dungeon echo, torture chamber reverb, bardic ensemble, and dimension expander.
Memory and samples
The EP-1320 has 500 sample slots and 96 MB of built-in memory, with over 200 factory samples covering drums, phrases, instruments, one shots, SFX, and user sounds.
What the manual does not cover
The manual provided only covers the EP-1320, so a direct feature-by-feature comparison with the EP-133 is not something this guide can authoritatively detail. For a proper comparison, checking the official EP-133 documentation alongside this guide would give you the full picture.
The core workflow, including groups, patterns, scenes, step sequencing, and punch-in effects, follows a similar structure to other Teenage Engineering EP devices.
