video upload by atnr

"A track built with OP-1 field, Reface DX, Prophet-10, and MOTIF-RACK ES—beat-driven music where glitchy rhythms collide with abstract synth harmonies.

OP-1 field: Triggered over MIDI to play the drum pattern; its signal runs through an NTS-3 for looping and tape-delay effects.

Reface DX: Harmony is sequenced via MIDI while I add live touches; a side-chain compressor in Ableton ducks it to the beat.

Prophet-10: Adds additional synth layers.

MOTIF-RACK ES: Supplies strings, flute, and other PCM textures."

Bad Gear - OverPriced-1

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. In light of recent events we are going to talk about OP-1 Field.

While other manufacturers either “pass on savings from process optimization” or relentlessly jack up prices once people are actually buying their music making toys, our favorite interior design company/copyright agency/nepo baby cult just flexed their monstrous marketing muscle and - did both at the same time.

Teenage Engineering Field System Goes All Black | Superbooth 2025

video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"At Superbooth 2025, Teenage Engineering introduced a new black colorway for several devices in its Field System, creating a more unified look across its portable production tools. The updated lineup includes black editions of the TP-7 field recorder, TX-6 mixer, and CM-15 condenser microphone. The OP–XY sequencer, which was already available in black, remains unchanged, while the OP–1 Field synthesizer, also part of the ecosystem, retains its original silver finish.

The Field System is designed for seamless integration and mobility, offering a modular setup for musicians and producers who need flexibility on the move. All devices are battery-powered and use USB-C connectivity, allowing them to function both independently and together. The new black editions maintain the same technical specifications as their predecessors, now with a consistent visual identity across most of the range."
