Teenage Engineering OP-1 Mini Synthesizer System at a Glance:
Compact synthesizer, sampler, and controller in one
From the classic 8-bit Dr Wave sound engine to the String physical modeling engine, the Teenage Engineering OP-1 gives you ten great ways to make cool and creative sounds. You also get two different styles of onboard samplers, including a synth sampler and a drum sampler for adding realistic instrument sounds to the mix. And when you hook the OP-1 up to your computer, you can instantly take control of your favorite virtual instruments, right from its extremely streamlined user interface.
Record like a pro with the built-in 4-track virtual tape deck
When you're ready to record, you'll find the Teenage Engineering OP-1's built-in 4-track "tape deck" to be more than inspiring. Combined with the onboard sequencer, you can create truly funky effects by varying the tape speed (or even reversing it) it real time. And when you add in the OP-1's 4-channel mixer with EQ and Drive controls, you'll be surprised by what you can accomplish.
Drag-and-drop interface with any Mac or Windows PC
Connect your Teenage Engineering OP-1 mini synthesizer workstation to your computer and it instantly shows up as a mass storage device. This lets you drag and drop audio files between your Mac or Windows PC, allowing you to retrieve recordings from your OP-1, and load new clips up to 12 seconds long into its samplers.
Striking user interface with color-coded convenience
You never have to wonder what you're reaching for, when you grab one of your Teenage Engineering OP-1's color-coded encoders. That's because each color corresponds with the color represented by the graphics displayed on the OP-1's vividly colored OLED display. If you're more creative than technical, you'll find it super easy to tweak settings and shape sounds on this compact keyboard.
Make music anywhere with 16 hours of battery power
Even with the volume cranked as high as it can go, the Teenage Engineering OP-1 synth can go up to 16 hours on a single charge. That's a ton of time you don't have to stay tied down to an outlet. At the same time, the OP-1 can go idle for up to 2 years before running out of battery power, so you don't have to keep your OP-1 locked in charging mode when not in use.
