I've been following this thing for a long time. Teenage Engineering have done a very poor job showing this machine making good music. I tried to find a decent video of it in action making GOOD music but I lost interest when I saw the price and saw the 20th video with dodgy synth noodling... very poor show chaps! It looks like it could be tremendous fun to use and the concept is certainly quite neat. It costs far too much money for what it is. $800 == £500. I bought a Boss (Roland) SP-303 for about that half price some years ago. The OP-1 should cost about the same as that for me to start to consider it. There are lots of decent synths that look a bit toy like,Casio SK-1, EDP Wasp, etc so it may end up being quite good, i.e. don't be fooled by its appearance. I've yet to see polyphony specs and technical details about how it works under heavy load (i.e voice stealing, how many fx at once, etc). I couldn't care less about the CPU clock speed, which is fairly orthogonal to performance seeing as it could have sloppy coding or the CPU may not have DSP functions on chip which would really help with digital audio. I've never seen one in the flesh so my opinion may change if that changes. It looks very flashy and it might be hard to make objective decisions about this thing as the display and interface is so fun. However I'm yet to hear an audio demo where it beats the good old classic portable, the EMS synthi: |

The funniest video I saw was an "unboxing" (god we live in a sick world) where the guy drooled over every aspect of the packaging but stopped short of doing anything with the fucking thing. |

i like it cos its small if you tried one of that ultra compact keyboards that's next the synth you know what i mean |

Ah, that is pretty cool. Looks like fun and sounds good. I wonder how cheaply this could be sold if someone like Korg bought him out and mass produced it on the scale of the Electribes? |

i've heard that the masterpiece "one" from best music group in the world swedish house mafia, is using this fantastic synth. |
