How do I reverse a sample?

The KO II does not have a dedicated reverse playback mode for samples. There is no reverse function listed in the sound edit menus or anywhere else in the official manual.

What you can do instead

If you want a reversed version of a sample, you would need to reverse the audio file on a computer before transferring it to the device, then load it using the EP Sample Tool at teenage.engineering/apps/ep-sample-tool.

Sound edit options that do exist

The six sound edit modes accessible via SHIFT + SOUND are:

  • Sound (play mode, pan)
  • Trim (start and end points)
  • Envelope (attack, release)
  • Time (time stretch)
  • MIDI (channel, root note)
  • Mute group

None of these include a reverse parameter.
