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.

Free Beat’s KOII Commit: Clone Wars in the Groove Trench

Ever wanted to mutate your tracks without nuking the original? Free Beat dives into the KOII’s commit function and finds out it’s not just a button—it’s a full-on rave bunker for scene variations. 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 practical, drummer-brain approach keeps things moving, and by the end, you’ll be itching to clone, tweak, and smash your own

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.
