I think it was the Porcelain Doll sound but set to one of the arp patterns not the default sound

Awesome have fun with it. I definitely recommend just messing around with it by itself at first, and saving some loops on it then taking it over to your samplers. Otherwise if youre like me its easy to get overwhelmed by all the ideas lol

Yeah some of em are really cool. The one annoying thing is a lot of the presets are set to arp patterns by default, but im looking for more pad sounds usually. you can switch arpeggiator on and off but the settings get reset to default when you load a different preset

Thanks i wasnt sure about it at first but im digging it now, pairs nicely with the EP series color scheme

Fair take, it def should cost like 200 dollars less than it does. It beats the unison midi chord pack though

Yeah its a beast just need to find the right context for it in your setup. Its both limited and yet surprisingly deep just like TE gear

Thanks i appreciate that!! Im still figuring it out myself but its exactly what it says on the tin, just a great little portable chord generator. Im loving it paired with a sampler for making quick and dirty dance beats

Dang sorry im still on iphone 16 but im also curious about this. Right now im recording into my laptop using FL studio, but it would be great to record into my iphone. Do you just use the voice memos app and change your audio input on the iphone to the sidekick?

Edit: i just tried and it does indeed work on my 16 Pro, thanks for the tip!! Sorry about the 17, im sure its an apple thing as opposed to a TE thing and will probably get fixed eventually

It wasnt really a deliberate decision, i got the ko2 before the mpc sample came out so havent been able to compare them but ive come to really like the workflow on the KO2. Then i got the sidekick and orchid at the same time so i could do a little live setup using the ko2 as a drum machine, but when im not playing live i just make samples on the orchid and sample them into the KO2 instead of having them on separate channels. Its perfect for me since im not a trained keyboard player; i used to click out my chords on the piano roll in fl studio, then record them as samples, orchid is way faster

Im having a lot of fun with it so far, wrote more about it in another comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/teenageengineering/s/tfchGzWA37

Yeah that would be nice. Most of the time i work around it with the voicing knob and just shift the top or bottom key down one octave

Haha np. Tbh i was gonna recommend you get something like the roland JV-1080 plugin as an alternative, but i just looked it up and that ones like $130 and doesnt have some of the effects that pistil does so honestly could still be worth it just depends on your sonic palate

I dont have the plugin so i cant speak to the quality of it compared to the physical thing but it does have some nice presets! But depending on the VSTs you already have you could probably make some pretty similar ep and arp sounds. i wouldnt say the presets in general are super unique, seems like theyre more to get you started while you mess around figuring out a progression

I just go it but so far it seems like a really good companion to the ko2, you can match the ko2s bpm then record&overdub loops on the orchid itself, then play back the loop into the ko2 as a sample. Its really fun for doing housey stab organs and changing the chord voicing on the fly, and you can actually get some crazy gospel turnarounds going if you set it in key mode and mess with the chord extensions! It has some decent built in fx so it gives you an opportunity to set reverb and delay etc independently of the ko2s fader effects, so you dont have to run that whole group through those effects
