Free Beat Unleashes the KOII: MIDI Mayhem in a Box

Free Beat dives headfirst into the KOII’s MIDI labyrinth, armed with nothing but curiosity and a pile of cables. This isn’t your average MIDI tutorial—think more rave bunker than classroom. With each pad on the KOII flexing as its own polyphonic MIDI track, the creative chaos is real. Expect happy accidents, sidechain experiments, and a few moments where even Free Beat admits he’s winging it. If you’re after honest, hands-on exploration with a dash of confusion and a heap of groove, this is your jam.

Sunwarper’s Woovebox Pro Test: Pocket Sampler or Groovebox Rave Weapon?

Sunwarper’s on a mission: ditch the PO-33, dodge the EP-133, and find a pocket-sized sampler that doesn’t choke when you want to build a proper track. Enter the Woovebox Pro – a device that claims to bridge the gap between lo-fi beat sketchpad and full-on groovebox. In this video, Sunwarper slices, chops, and sequences his way through the Woovebox’s features, exposing both its gritty charm and its workflow quirks. If you’re after a portable street weapon for sample-based jams, but don’t want to lug a suitcase of gear, this one’s worth a look. Just don’t expect it to hold your

Free Beat vs. KOII: Sample Chopping in the Rave Bunker

Sample chopping on the Teenage Engineering KOII finally gets the Free Beat treatment, and it’s about time. Our favourite daily-gear explorer dives into two ways to slice up beats, with a workflow that’s part coffee-fuelled experiment, part practical chaos. Expect hands-on action with patron-submitted drums, a few honest gripes, and a look at what makes the KOII’s sample handling both clever and occasionally clunky. If you want to know whether this box is a street weapon or a fiddly toy, you’ll want to read on—and then watch the video for the full sonic mayhem.

This isn’t a dry manual; it’s a caffeine-fuelled, hands-on session where chaos is embraced and every outro gets its own flavour. If you like your workflow fast, flexible, and a bit unpredictable, you’ll want to see how KOII’s commit turns song mode into a playground.

Free Beat’s KOII Loop Mode: Not Your Nan’s Looper

Free Beat’s back in the bunker, this time wrangling the Teenage Engineering KOII’s looping feature—and it’s not the live looper you’re expecting. Instead of the usual pedalboard shenanigans, KOII lets you slice, dice, and remix your patterns in real time, turning a simple groove into a rave-ready monster. Punch-in effects? Still on tap, still wild. If you think you know what looping means, think again—this is a street weapon for the hands-on performer. Dive in for a taste of KOII’s chaos, and maybe keep your old looper on standby for nostalgia’s sake.
