10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim Performance Synthesizer Overview

The Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim Performance Synthesizer is a powerful performance synthesizer designed for producers and performers who want hands-on control of reggae, dub and dancehall sounds. It's a powerful sampler, sequencer and synth that lets you shape every loop and texture in real time. Grid-synced loops and reggae-inspired FX make it simple to create flowing grooves that react naturally as you play.


The EP-40 Riddim includes over 400 handcrafted sounds with input from respected reggae artists and producers. It features classic bass tones, warm synth presets and pressure-sensitive dub sirens for adding energy to live sets or recordings. With up to 12 stereo or 16 mono voices, you can layer sounds freely without losing clarity. Complete with the EP-40 Riddim is the EP-2350 Ting microphone (available while stocks last!), which allows you to sample your voice with the option of applying four different vocal effects for added fun and flexibility.


Designed for creative flexibility, the EP-40 Riddim includes a subtractive synth engine, nine editable projects and a full range of onboard FX. It connects easily through MIDI, USB-C or sync I/O and can be powered by four AAA batteries for mobile setups.


FIRMWARE UPDATE OS 2.5 introduces audio recording via USB, lo-fi sample rates, sample reverse, auto chopping, improved time stretching and much more. See below for full details.

OS 2.5 firmware update - record over USB, longer sampling and more

Teenage Engineering has released the EP series OS 2.5 firmware update, bringing a range of creative and workflow-focused improvements to the EP-133 K.O. II and EP-40.

One of the biggest additions is USB audio support, allowing users to record directly to a computer without extra hardware. Sampling has also become far more versatile, with new lo-fi sample rate options of 46kHz, 32kHz, and a gritty 26kHz setting for vintage-inspired textures.

Users can now reverse samples instantly, eliminating the need for time-consuming workarounds, while the new arpeggiator makes it easier to create evolving melodic patterns from existing sounds. Sampling time has doubled to an impressive 40 seconds in mono, giving producers more room for longer recordings and ideas. Loop-based production is also smoother thanks to equal-length auto chopping, which quickly slices phrases into evenly sized sections.

The update includes improved time stretching for more natural results, additional musical scales for expanded creative possibilities, and per-pad timing adjustments that offer finer control over groove and performance.

Sample, resample and sculpt your own sounds

Sampling on Riddim is central to its design. Press Sample to capture from mic, line-in or resample your own patterns, then assign recordings directly to pads. Input level and recording threshold are adjustable, ensuring clean takes in any setting.

Hands-free sampling can record the exact length of your loop or multiple bars, ideal for capturing evolving textures. Resampling merges layers or entire sections into a single sample, streamlining performance setups.

With the EP sample tool, users can transfer projects between Riddim and computer, preserve low sample rates for lo-fi character, and store up to 50 minutes of mono audio in the internal memory. Chop mode lets you slice recordings automatically using beat detection or manually by ear, with precise control over start and end points via dedicated knobs.

Play, sequence and build complete tracks

Creating a beat on Riddim is immediate. Each project can contain multiple groups and up to 99 patterns per group. Press Record and Play to capture ideas live with a four-count in, or hold Record to input per-step for pinpoint sequencing. Extend patterns, adjust tempo between 40 and 399 BPM, and commit your work to save scenes as new song sections. Keys mode transforms the pads into a chromatic keyboard for melodies or basslines, while scale selection ensures every note fits the track.

Advanced controls for unbound creation

Quantise keeps performances tight, and Timing Correct can be applied to single notes for detailed rhythm control. Note Repeat enables fast hat rolls or rhythmic triggers that follow the chosen note interval, from 1/1 to 1/32 including triplet divisions.

The fader adjusts group volume by default but can control any assignable parameter. Two rotary knobs manage tempo, swing, filter or FX, while holding Shift slows control for fine adjustment. With Song Mode, up to 99 scenes can be arranged to form a full track. Commit saves progress and duplicates scenes, allowing new variations without overwriting previous sections.

Shape your mix with powerful FX and live performance tools

Riddim’s FX engine includes delay, reverb, distortion, chorus, filter, compressor and phaser, each easily accessed through the FX button. Every group can send to one master effect, while the total mix passes through a final compressor for consistent output

Hold FX to transform the pads into Punch-In FX controls that add real-time performance gestures and pressure-sensitive modulation. Live Input FX processes any external signal through the same effects chain, letting synths or mics share the sound design space.

The master compressor provides control over drive and speed, tightening drums and smoothing mixes, while sidechain compression can duck specific sounds using note triggers to shape groove and movement. Vinyl-style tempo behaviour slows and detunes audio naturally during tempo shifts for organic feel in Live State mode.
