This Medieval Sound Sampler Is Full Middle Ages Music and Sounds

Are you keen on starting a band that plays music from the Middle Ages but struggling to find a lutist or even a skilled hurdy gurdy player? Kudos for knowing what a hurdy gurdy is! However, it’s now possible to generate authentic Medieval tunes without relying on actual musicians. This amazing, pioneering Medieval sampler composer allows you to create “enchanting melodies, sensual songs, and plague-themed rhythms” effortlessly.

Teenage Engineering aims to bring Medieval music within easy reach for modern listeners, who haven’t had such access in centuries. Their innovative EP–1320 musical instrument is equipped with a vast array of over hundreds of authentic Medieval sounds. This compact device, measuring just 9.5 inches by 7 inches by 0.7 inches, delivers a powerful musical performance. The range of sounds it produces encompasses everything from booming drums to harsh percussions, and a variety of other tones that fill its library with phrases, playable instruments, and one-shot samples. In the words of the manufacturer:

“EP–1320 is a musical instrument for the curious. It’s a time machine that takes you back to the Middle Ages, where you can explore, experiment and create music inspired by this ancient era.

The EP-1320 comes equipped with an updated assortment of send effects and instant FX, a state-of-the-art arpeggiator, and a collection of expertly sampled instruments. You can quickly capture your own sounds using the line input or internal microphone. Whether you’re into creating soulful ballads or infectious beats, the EP-1320 caters to all styles.

As a movie enthusiast, let me share my thoughts on this innovative gadget I recently got my hands on. This device is an absolute gem, powered by four AAA batteries or through USB-C. It’s not just about its functionality; it’s also equipped with a sleek design that’s sure to turn heads.

The device sports a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing you to enjoy six high-quality stereo voices. And if that wasn’t enough, it comes with 128MB of internal memory, providing ample space for your favorite content. In short, this gadget is a compact powerhouse, offering an immersive audio-visual experience.

A Medieval band’s hiring fee is unknown, but it’s safe to say it will cost significantly more than this sampler. With this device, you can perform your own compositions from the era or accompany classic tracks for $299. The official website offers some high-quality samples to preview its capabilities. Additionally, it comes with its own line of accessories, such as a quilted bag.

Despite its capabilities having several aspects, the Medieval music box stands out for just one remarkable feature: It enables you to handle a hurdy-gurdy, regardless of whether or not you’re familiar with this specific musical instrument.
