Teenage Engineering Teenage Engineering just released something called the EP-136 K.O. Sidekick, a two-channel mixer that's primarily intended for use with its EP-series of samplers. To that end, it ships with little pegs that allow it to physically connect to units like the original K.O. II groovebox and its reggae-inspired cousin.

As a matter of fact, it can actually slide right between two Teenage Engineering samplers, acting as the centerpiece of a portable setup. That's pretty cool, though I'd wait until arriving at the gig to snap everything together. Those pins don't look incredibly sturdy.

Despite the connectivity to the K.O. II, the EP-136 is a full-featured stereo mixer that works with just about anything. That includes phones, computers, synthesizers, microphones, turntables and external effects processors, though some of these devices may require cable adapters.
