Last month, a Reddit user spotted Teenage Engineering posters teasing the release of some mysterious EP-40 and EP-2350 models this Autumn. However, we might be one step closer to knowing what the models might be, thanks to YouTuber Koji Seto and a since-deleted post by Japanese instrument retailer Rock oN Company.

Rock oN Company’s X post showcased multiple photos of what is assumed to be Teenage Engineering’s new gear. If the photos are real, the company is set to release a battery-powered mixer, presumably the EP-40, as well as a new EP-2350 Riddim Supertone sampler.

Considering the name, the EP-2350 Riddim Supertone sampler may be dancehall/reggae inspired groovebox, complete with a matching Ting FX microphone. The sampler in particular seems to be a new take on the EP-133 K.O. II.

Visually, the new sampler is also a more playful take on the EP-133 K.O. II. Rather than simple numbers on the bass, drums, keys, and sample buttons, they’re now printed with quirky icons of the corresponding instruments, with a vinyl record printed to symbolise samples.

The numbers that have been printed elsewhere also have far more character, with a bolder font rather than the sleeker EP-133 K.O. II font. It’s a design that certainly falls in line with the vibrancy of reggae and dancehall, that’s for sure.

The supposed EP-40 has a more basic, muted look. The two-channel mixer seems to have a three-band EQ for each channel, along with an LCD screen and some 3.5mm inputs and outputs.

Despite Rock oN Company deleting its pair of posts, YouTuber Koji Seto has swooped in to save the day. He seems to have attended an official Teenage Engineering launch party, posting ample photos documenting the occasion on Instagram.

“I sneaked into a mysterious party!” he writes. “There was a mysterious machine that looked very interesting… The details are still shrouded in mystery. Let’s look forward to [finding out about] it.”
