The EP-136 K.O. is built for sketching beats on the train, in a hotel room, anywhere you would not unpack a full controller. 16 velocity-sensitive pads, internal mic for sampling-by-tap, line-in for grabbing audio from a phone or guitar. Battery-powered, USB-C, weighs less than a paperback. MoMA carries it; price is positioned squarely as gift-for-the-musical-friend.
