The cheatsheet that came with the Teenage Engineering KO II was pretty but a bit hard to parse, at least for me. Meanwhile the manual seems to leave some features undocumented. So I scratched together what I could, plus tips from forums, and condensed everything down to this.

Things still unclear:

  • The difference between "Reset fader" and "Erase fader"
  • Does group FX send (hold FX, move fader) override the fader's own FX send (hold FADER, choose FX pad, move fader) or is it the same thing? Does one override the other?

Next steps:

  • I made a sticker for the KOII with just the system shortcuts on it, but I'd like to make another one for commonly hard to remember key combos.
  • Going to play with the unit and everytime I find myself looking up a thing, I'll mark that thing. Eventually I can identify which things are hard to remember, and make a sticker either for the front or back with just those.
  • If you do the same, tell me your results!

As usual, use at your own risk and tell me about any issues/mistakes/suggestions via @spongeprojects on Instagram.
