Provenance

The same counts the audit prints.

40 of 40 values provisional.

A point is the setting to dial, and it counts as cited only where a document prints that value. A range is the control’s own limits, and mood may move a value only inside a cited range, so 0 parameters here declare an axis that cannot move.

Read, answers no
features.sidechain.fromExternalAudio

the sidechain runs on note triggers rather than audio — the page says so in as many words and adds that it works “even without sound” — and its source is a sound held on a group pad, never the input

manual — EP–40 riddim guide, /ep-40/effects 11.10.1, mirrored 2026-08-28

io.individualOuts

the specifications page prints one Stereo Line input and one Stereo Headphone/Line Output and no other audio socket, and the hardware page describes that one output as what a sound system, a mixer, a soundcard or headphones is plugged into — there is no per-group or per-pad output to count

manual — EP–40 riddim guide, /ep-40/tech-specs 16, mirrored 2026-08-28

Read, does not say
clock.preferredSource

the four worked sync walkthroughs put this box on both ends in turn and no page gives it a role driving other gear; MIDI clock ships off at code 100, which points away rather than toward

features.lfo

the supertone preset parameters are listed as including “lfo speed”, so an LFO exists on at least one of the ten supertone sounds, and no page anywhere says how many there are, whether one syncs to the clock, or what it reaches — the three things the field requires; the only vibrato the rest of the box has arrives from outside on MIDI CC 1

features.perStep

the box carries per-step velocity, note duration, nudge and a recorded fader position, and the guide prints a scale for none of them — so the lanes are real and nothing here can set a value on one without inventing it; the duration reaches a reader through noteDuration instead

One row per recipe, because one name can be read off more than one page: this box authors 40 values across 24 recipes, and a list de-duplicated by name would keep one citation and drop the rest.

What it can play

24 recipes across 23 roles.

On its own

Resolved against each direction with nothing else in the rig.

A rig is more than one box. These are what teenage engineering EP–40 riddim covers alone, which is the floor rather than what it will do beside something else.
