Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Teenage Engineering OPZ. Is this compact multimedia synthesizer and sequencer with visualization options based on vj footage and the unity engine an actual improvement over its older sibling, the Teenage Engineering OP-1? Does the implementation von iOS devices like an iPhone or iPad actually work?

Thanks to Synth Repair Wizard Thomas for lending me his OP-Z and bringing old stuff back on track:

"Unique piece of sound art; this noise machine features paper circuit, Fourses, designed by Peter B.

8% of the profits from this sale will be sent to Peter B as donation/thank you for use of his paper circuits.

104 brass sandrodes and one copper listener node, internal speaker switched off by 1/4” out, powered by 9v battery or 12vdc wall wart (not included), 8 white LED under Apophylite crystal points – one with some Stilbite, 8 knobs, walnut, purple heart and birch, acrylic bottom – protected by rubber feet.

Note, first three photos use flash, which bounces off the beeswax and olive oil used to seal the wood. This makes it appear brighter and redder. Under more normal light, the wood looks darker and more muted. Pics w/o flash give a little better idea, but probably sunlight would be best. Anyways, i'll leave that to you."

"Oberheim Matrix 6 vintage analog synth & custom Anvil-style hard case with Oberheim Matrix 6 logos. All in stunningly clean condition - no scratches, dents, etc. - as close to original 1986 condition as you will ever find!

This synth is an absolute monster of analog tone - easily stands up to any of its Oberheim siblings for many types of sounds: warm, fat, sizzly, textural, and just plain iconic."

Error Instruments BRAIN DAMAGE / 4 channel touch mixer / speedrun Eurorack Module

video upload by BRiES

"This is a quick demonstration of the functionality of BRAIN DAMAGE, a 4 channel touch mixer made by Error Instruments. Use it to mix audio or CV and create mayhem with the touch of a finger.

DISCLAIMER: Error Instruments sent me this module to make a video about it. I'm generally not a fan of touch-based modules but I think by showing you the features you'll manage to get creative with it yourself. I'm not here to tell you that you should or shouldn't buy BRAIN DAMAGE, but I hope by showing you the functionality of the module you can decide whether it is something you want or need for your system."

There's also a "bricky" desktop/pedal version.
