"Demo of the aRTURIA ASTROLAB Stage Keyboard Synth together with the TEENAGE ENGINEERING OP-Z Groovebox with a vocal sound unlike anything I heard before. Hope you enjoy the track!"
"Here is another Buchla exploration with the Sputnik 289 and also a set of 2hp modules - the Loop and the Pitch which are a really great way of capturing audio (up to 5 mins) and then messing with it
In this patch I have got 2 channels going through the 289, 2 channels coming from the VRS23 and one from the 2hp modules, all being mixed and recorded through the Teenage Engineering TX-6
The result sounds something like me tuning a radio while falling down a mine shaft into an underground cavern filled with wasps"
"Another dawless jam with the amazing OP-XY and the ambient master FX, the Walrus Qi. Really loving how these two complement each other for this kind of vibe!"
"This song was created entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY, OP-1F, and TX-6. No additional processing other than normalizing the audio file was applied.
"First jam with the incredible OP-XY by Teenage Engineering!
This little device is packed with potential — powerful, ultra-portable, and full of creative possibilities. I’m excited to see how it evolves over time, and I hope the updates keep coming!
If you’ve got any questions about it, feel free to reach out.

"Exploring deep basslines and cinematic textures with the Teenage Engineering OP-XY – a dark synth journey inspired by Stranger Things.
There are moments like this when I feel lost.
Every time, I tell myself that I need to move on, change things up a bit, make a jam with another synth; but the Teenage Engineering OP-XY is a vortex that pulls you in once you find the right sounds, the rest just flows naturally. This happened with the Danger Things sound pack by Metropolis Border, inspired by the dark atmospheres of Stranger Things: as soon as I started listening to it, something clicked, and just dropping in a deep bass was enough to kick everything off. In the track, I also used some of OP-XY’s default presets, and I realized that with just a touch of sound design, you can bring out some really great things. At the bottom, you’ll find links to all the packs I used.
As usual, the beginning is very ambient, but the track quickly evolves, taking darker and more mysterious turns, until it reaches the rhythmic part, which is definitely more intense than usual. I only prepared the song’s scenes, but I preferred to perform it live. During the performance, I let myself go, especially towards the end, really getting into it: OP-XY’s punch-in effects are as simple to use as they are effective.
🎧 For the full experience — including subtle textures, punchy bass, and detailed drums — headphones are highly recommended.

"The results of my first couple of weeks with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. It’s a complete 360 from the sequencer heavy workflow of the Elektron boxes. Spiced things up with some FX from the Roland P6 and Source Audio Collider
I remember the first time I saw one of these 10 years ago, I thought it looked like some sort of retro futuristic magic device. I didn’t know anything about synths, but I wanted one so bad. But the price! As I continued to learn more about the synthesizers, the price barrier grew. This thing started to seem like a complete rip off.
Now, thanks to an unexpected trade offer, the Teenage Engineering OP-1 is finally in my possession. My thoughts: worth the wait… and the price"

"It seems like using a groovebox for its intended purpose leads to better results than trying to ignore the metronome and get lost in arpeggiators and voices. Who would have guessed 😌
Anyway, I suck at this genre, I was mostly proud of the bassline and my 'discovery'!"
"A live reinterpretation of Symphony of a Forgotten Sprite, performed using portable synths and real-time CRT glitch visuals.

"It’s been a few days since the new S4 firmware dropped, so I thought I’d give it another chance.
Still needs the classic off-and-on ritual. Still forgets to record audio — which, you know, might be kind of a big deal for an instrument. Still, little things here and there.
But this isn’t a rant!
Just a gentle reminder that we’ve reached a strange point where we buy gear that could be amazing… but acts more like a moody teenager on one of their don’t-talk-to-me days.
That said, today — against all odds — I actually had fun.
So here’s the video: proof that even a problematic guy can have his minutes of glory."
"I’m exploring new creative interactions between algorithmic sequencing, real-time control, and analog synthesis.
🔹 @torsoelectronics S4 updated to firmware 2.0 – featuring enhanced generative composition capabilities.
🔹 @teenageengineering OP–XY – an experimental controller with an innovative approach to live sound manipulation.
🔹 AnalogFX SER-2020 – a powerful analog synth, delivering deep and rich tones.
🎛️ This jam session is a live exploration of rhythm, modulation, and texture – blending hardware into evolving electronic landscapes.
"The new updates for TX–6 and TP–7 introduce some new features like enhanced sequencer functionality with customizable options, link mode, extended midi functionality, extended gain range, mix-down mode, and more. update your device via our update utility tool and read more about the new functions in the user guides.
TX–6 OS update 1.3.0
TX–6 is our battery-powered ultra portable pro-mixer and multi-functional audio interface with 6 stereo channels, or 12 if you split them to mono. great for quick setups on the go or in your studio. packed with features like effects, midi, usb recording, beat detection, an instrument tuner, synth, sequencer, drum machine, and much more.
user configurable sequencer patterns alongside the 22 factory-loaded patterns, the TX–6 now supports six additional user-configurable sequencer pattern slots. each of these allows for per-step pitch assignment, making it possible to compose custom melodic sequences.
pattern chaining once you’ve made your own sequencer patterns, you can start chaining them together. instead of looping just one pattern, this update lets you combine up to four, giving your tracks more variation.
slide the TX–6 now includes a slide (portamento) function, allowing precise control over pitch transitions when sequencing waveforms for more refined melodic expression.
"The Teenage Engineering OP-XY has a unique way of unlocking creativity — even when inspiration runs low. This video is built around an old OP-XY project I recently unearthed, proof that unfinished ideas can still spark something new.
In this live jam, the Teenage Engineering OP-XY becomes the heart of a dark-retro-futuristic soundscape, blending synthwave grooves, ambient arpeggios, and gritty, distorted textures. A raw and expressive performance shaped by the OP-XY’s playful, hands-on approach to electronic music.
