Teenage Engineering"OP-1 stands for Operator 1.
The OP-1 is a pocket size controller for your favorite software sequencer. Connect it to your laptop and it lets you control your sequencers transport with the common play, stop, rec, forward and rewind. Use it to control your software synthesizers with the 4 rotary encoders and 16 dedicated quick keys for fast selections.
When you disconnect the OP-1 from your computer you suddenly have a stand-alone portable wonder-machine with 8 synthesizer models, 8 samplers and effects like Delay, Flutter, Filters and EQ all built in. Use all that synthesizer power to record your work with the truly unique (at present time, secret) sequencer. We promise you a really cool and creative way to record your sounds and tweak them in a completely new way.
Use the magic step sequencer/arpegiator to get the notes right. If that is not enough use the built in motionsensor that sense every shake or move you make and turn it into really cool sounds.
Then relax and sample a beat from the built-in FM radio or memorize a tune by whistle it into the built-in microphone. Play your piece to your friends through the built-in speaker. Or...convert it right away to mp3 and mail it to them."

'This is how the display will look like on the OP. It's got extremely high PPI, the contrast is crazy, and according to myself, the gfx is bananas!"
WOW!! I LOVE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteSome of these guys have worked for Elektron; Jesper does their industrial design and has contributed presets. Holy crap.
ReplyDeleteIf Olivetti redesigned the Casio VL-5, it'd look like this.
ReplyDeleteNice!
funny butcher, i was just going to say that it looks like like a kickass VL-1. But where's the calculator?
ReplyDeleteI would think it would be more than 120. May be in the 300-400 range if not more
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to their work on this thing. Nice to see some fresh graphic design going on with the display.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap...this thing looks awsome!!
ReplyDelete..have to be a beta tester..!!
Lokkin forward to it

ReplyDeleteIt's neither April 1 nor is it funny - so how is it a prank? I want one. Even if it's vaporhardware or a staight-up joke (Hotelicopter), I still want one. I also want a Hotelicopter.
ReplyDeletedo you fanboys have meetings to decide on what you're going to rally for or criticize monthly? I'm not getting the memos obviously.. but count me out anyways.
ReplyDeleteactually it is and was April1 when I posted this :-)
