Grown-up software for Teenage Engineering devices
Everything TE’s tool does, plus everything it doesn’t. Build EP-40 multisamples in about two minutes instead of thirty.
14-day Pro trial included · No signup required
Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS · Works with EP-40, EP-133 and EP-1320
“Doing tiny edits on device is not easy, Ableton is annoying, the EP web tool is basic… this tool is like all three of those had a baby. I am glad I bought it already.”
“You’ve actually made me appreciate how good the EP devices are. The ability to save and load a single project and the file manager showing samples used in projects. Brilliant.”
“Incredibly easy to multisample from VSTs including Kontakt in Logic. Getting Mellotron patches out of Kontakt into the EP. Kind of cool.”
“Super easy to convert to lower sample rates. Saves space on the device and adds a bit of grit. 22k samples sound really good on the EP without being too dirty.”

Real complaints from EP owners, and what I did about them
“At the moment there’s no official way to add your own… but fingers crossed, maybe later?”
This is why the app exists. Build EP-40 multisamples in the Sample Editor, or let the Auto-Sampler capture a synth across the keyboard hands-off (the Auto-Sampler is Pro, desktop only).
Your own instruments on the EP-40, without cracking anything.
The accepted community fix, straight from the Gearspace EP-133 thread, is building your own Audacity macros to batch-prep samples before they go anywhere near the device.
The Batch Processor does the lot in one pass: normalise, convert format and sample rate, trim silence, mono, rename by pattern. Hundreds of files at a time, on the free tier.
The Audacity macro you never had to build.
“A gaping hole in the functionality at launch is any way to back up or load your Projects and Scenes.”
Backup & Restore keeps per-device and per-project backups you can tag, pin and restore in a click (Backup & Restore is Pro).
Never delete good work to make room again.
“I’m a Mac user, and do find the TE app slow.”
TE’s sample tool needs Chrome and a live internet connection, and it does not exist on your phone. EP-PatchStudio is a native app on macOS, Windows and Linux, plus Android and iPhone/iPad. It works offline (device features are Pro; the 14-day trial includes them).
Manage your EP anywhere, with or without Wi-Fi.
Pro is not just more features. It is the device workflow, so you spend the time making music instead of moving files.

“I actually bought it even though Joe kindly offered me a free licence for helping test it. I decided it was worth the money as I’ll definitely be using it.”
No. One-time purchase, lifetime updates. You pay once, you own it forever.
TE’s EP Sample Tool is browser-based and limited to basic file transfer and backups. EP-PatchStudio is a native app that works offline, with faster one-click backups, a full multisample editor, auto-sampling and pro audio editing tools. It’s everything TE’s EP Sample Tool does, plus everything it doesn’t.
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
EP-PatchStudio supports the EP-40 Riddim, EP-133 K.O. II and EP-1320 Medieval. Multisample creation and looped samples are EP-40 only (it’s the one that supports those modes for now). Device management works with all three.
I’d rather you use the software than skip it because of price.
Traditional pricing forces everyone into the same box. Pay-what-you-want lets you pay what feels fair for your situation. Everyone gets identical software, with no tiers and no locked features. You own it forever.
The price difference is about supporting development, not unlocking capabilities.
Yes to all of it. EP-PatchStudio runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, plus Android and iPhone/iPad. One licence covers the lot, on up to five devices.
Free users can get help via the Discord community. Pro users get email support, and I typically respond within 24 hours, often faster. It’s just me, so you’re talking to the person who actually built the thing.
Yes. You can export multisamples, individual samples, backups, everything. Your work is yours. Nothing is locked into the app.
No. Payments and licensing run through LemonSqueezy. You get a licence key by email when you purchase. Enter it once to activate and you’re done. It does a quick online check on first activation, and after that the app works completely offline.
