The World’s First Medieval Electronic Instrument
The EP–1320 Medieval is, amazingly, a real gadget being sold by Teenage Engineering — it’s a “beat machine” (or “instrumentalis electronicum”) loaded with a bunch of musical phrases and instruments from the Dark Ages.
Hurdy gurdys, lutes, Gregorian chants, thundering drums and punishing percussive Foley FX. The EP-1320 is the first of its kind: featuring a large library of phrases, play ready instruments and one-shot samples from an age where darkness reigned supreme, the instrumentalis electronicum is the ultimate, and only, medieval beat machine.
This is ludicrous and I love it.

The gothic segmented display itself is post-worthy!
Finally.
The video they made for it on the webpage is pretty incredible.
Yes! Like Jodorowsky or Parajanov; looks like it was a hoot to make.
Don't sleep on this special feature: "cocoa scented paeds"
