The Teenage Engineering OP-1 is on show as a work in progress at NAMM.
While they’ve still got a lot of work to do on the OP-1, it’s off the vaporware list, as far as we’re concerned.
We were able to catch a brief demo of the OP-1 today at the NAMM Show and:
- The hardware is already very polished;
- The software is impressive and powerful; and
- The user interface is pretty much what you’d get if you crossed Kate Beckinsale with Scarlett Johansson and added in a touch of Delia Derbyshire. Meow!
Not so hot, though:
- There’s a lot of work to do on the OS. Teenage Engineering is looking at a end of 2010 to start of 2011 release date.
- The price is expected to be around $700. They’re looking into engineering cheaper ways to manufacture the OP-1 to see if they can get the price down.
Check out the Teenage Engineering OP-1 demo videos and specs below and let us know what you think!
And let us know – are you ready to part with $700 for the OP-1?

They need to add a camera and GPS to make it worth $700. I'm not able to buy one however unless they come out with a midlife engineering version.
$700?!?
with that kinda dough I could see getting at least 2 different things like and Akai APC 40 and Korg Koas-something-or-others. Or a Korg MicroKORG/equiv. synthesizer & Korg Kaos-something or others.
Or hell a nice Monome and as firewire sound card interface… There's just a NUMBER of things I could think of getting BEFORE plunking down $700 on some sort of suped up controller…
Maybe I'm missing something that this can do SUPER well that you couldn't get from another option… Judging from the videos though I don't think I am missing much.

I would part with $700 for the OP-1. Late 2010, early 2011 ?!!?? darn…..
Release it early, tell every early owner that firmware upgrades are coming, and that they need to update as each FW upgrade comes out. It worked for the iPhone.
How about a black version?
How much would cost a software interface like this for controlling a circuit bent megadrive ?
It would definitely sound the same !
When I signed up for the beta testing of this thing a year or so ago, the projected price was about $250 from what I remember – it was an appealing prospect then. $700 is way overpriced – completely off the mark if they want to shift units. Regardless of how well it may perform, I'm not convinced they'll be able to market it as a "pro" bit of kit, which is what the pricing suggests. I'd go as far to say that even on a psychological level, the company name alone, "Teenage Engineering", suggests that they're targetting the wrong market before it's even released.
Having said that, it does look like a very nice bit of kit.

$700 ?!
You have got to be fscking kidding me, that is plain out ridiculous… That will buy me a Roland SH201 for example; no way is that comparable to this little critter. It doesn't even have a keyboard which at least looks /somewhat/ appealing.

I feel like I'm missing something here. That thing looks incredibly mediocre (and in my opinion very un-sexy). Is there something revolutionary going on that I'm not seeing in these videos or reading about in the specs? At this point I'd be hesitant to shell out $250 even.

Sounds to my ears a LOT like a old caisotone that has been circuit bent!
This looks nicer but you loose all your hipster street cred.
And the price. Just, wow.
Who is going to buy this?
Until it is ships, it is vaporware.
yes, i think too its too expensive; but i love this synth;
i signed last year for beta testing, i never had response;
and the delay , 2011, its too far! i think the price should be about 300 or 400; but its a beautiful object i think; i still expect to be a beta tester
@Quaisoir: Not me, I simply didn't consider it worth the money even though I will say its a very intriguing instrument. Not to say that with its I/O ports you can do quite a lot more with a tenori than with this critter.
@tekkentool: Sorry to have hurt your feelings π
Dude! I'm totally getting this to go along-side my Beat Kangz Beat Thang ® and will finally have the most badass non-budget 1989 mobile production station of all time!!
All kidding aside, the price point is way too high, as most seem to agree. Looks like they went too far with that (admittedly sexy) display, and that's about the only really impressive feature they seem to be able to demonstrate so far. It is definitely a unique/original/interesting/kitchy little guy, but it really does just sound like a circuit-bent casio at this point.
They did a great job on the hype for this thing, and it is 'neat', but not $700 neat.

Well, guys, a loooot of people paid 1000 $ for a tenori-on, no ?
I'm not the biggest fan of this but i'd go for one over the horrible abomination that is the sh-201.

I believe this thing does a whole lot more than an SH-201 to begin with. Sampler, FM, Physical modelling, sequencer etc.
I was *really* looking forward to this piece of gear. But the suggested price point, if it's even close to accurate, is just way off the charts. I am delighted that they've taken into consideration things like encoders and keys with long life cycles, but perhaps they went a bit overboard? One has to wonder what's driving up the cost here. Is it the features? Or the operating temperature range: -40 to +85°C? Not sure if that was meant to apply to the whole thing or just some of the components but it feels like a bit of overkill.
The other thing that is beginning to get a little old is the waiting. This thing was previewed months and months ago. Now it's in Beta testing (which is great) but still no date that they're willing to even hint at. Feels a bit like the X-files, years ago, and waiting for the truth to be revealed. Keeping your potential customers waiting so long runs the risk that they go off and find something else to buy in the meantime. Not that something like that will sink a product completely, but it doesn't help.
Maybe during beta testing they can figure out a way to drop a few features (do we need FM radio or a 3-axis accelerometer?) or at least find some way to lower the cost by lowering what appear to be some of the near military-grade specs they've mandated for it.
Great design. Fantastic looking little box. Looks like a blast to play with. But at that price, you're simply not going to reach a wide enough audience to achieve critical mass. Instead of becoming the Nintendo DS of the synth world, this appears more likely to become short run product that will eventually become valuable simply because few people could afford to buy it new. Sad.

I'm always the first person to complain about prices, software ad hardware. But I think $700 is pretty fair, I thought it was going to be over a thousand. The feature set puts it in line with something like the Elektron Monomachine, in some ways it does more, albeit with decidedly (and very intentional IMO) lofi twist.. The tenori'on was also a very good comparison. I simply think the vl-tone like casing for some reason just forces people to think of it as a boutique toy, regardless of it's capabilities.
Can anyone here name 1 synth/groovebox that does multiple types of synthesis, sampling, sequencing for $700? Maybe I'm forgetting something obvious, but I can't think of anything.
I do agree with some of Allan's assesments, those are some good points, especially the FM radio. Even considering those things I'm still comfortable with the price. That being said I'm annoyed about the late release, companies should not announce these products if they can't release them in a timely manner, its just lame.

The Teenage Engineering team is a hodge podge of brilliant people (ex elektron, creator of lsdj, etc) so the OP1 will sound better than the machinedrum / monomachine and be more fun to use. Considering how much the elektron gear is selling for, $700 would be a deal.
Matt, it takes a long time to develop a synthesizer and companies get business benefits from showing off their gear at trade shows and having information on the net. Especially valuable for smaller shops, which are the same shops that take a while to develop a new product.
Also, having played with the first prototypes at NAMM 2010, I can say that OP1 is ahead of it's time even if the beta doesn't start until later this year. It was the most innovative product I saw on the floor and you could see the drool glands kicking into overdrive when synth designers and developers from big companies walked into the booth.

If they can get the price down to $400 without sacrificing quality, they have a guaranteed sale right here. I don't know if I can justify more than $400 when I can find a lot of software plugins that can do this and more in Logic. The appeal to me is that it is hardware, portable, and easy to use for ADD types like myself. Also the OLED is gorgeous. I want this thing but I certainly don't need it.
I'm not too thrilled with the amount of on board memory available.. Being able to record FM radio on the fly sounds like fun.
Also, they were originally predicting an early 2010 release date, makes me nervous that they are pushing it back almost an entire year. They better plan on upgrading the device if they are going to wait otherwise this synth could become obsolete, no one will want to pay big bucks for something with a weak CPU, etc.. Or they better plan on dropping the price a lot.

I think that $700 for something like this is great! The MPC 500, which looks awful compared to this, sells for $600 new. Comparing the specs for both, the OP1 blows it out of the water. I cant wait until it comes out!
Reasons this is different:
Super portable/durable
Internal battery
4-track recording
An actually useful display
On-the-fly sampling
Ability to sync wirelessly with other OP-1s
Seemingly very intuitive
Looks cool as hell
I mean yeah, you could buy a microkorg and an apc or a portable recorder or some other combo of items for $700 but is that going to be anywhere near as simple and sleek? This is an all-in-one machine with the goal of being fun and intuitive. I would not expect OLED displays and all-aluminum construction to come cheap, so the price seems reasonable to me.
I guess the comments about price are right in terms of 'critical mass' as someone said. Again, comments about it looking (and sounding, overall) like a VL-tone don't recommend it to the pro-am musical mindset.
Personally, I'd rather save up and concentrate on something of quality. And this is quality! I think it looks better than most keyboards out there. And they must keep in the accelerometer or whatever and the FM. These give it the 'on-the-fly' possibilities essential for it's on-stage potential. The real selling-point for me though is its combination of size, portability and multiple possibilities. I love the mini-kaoss pads for that reason. Musically, it's the equivalent of art painted outdoors instead of art painted in a studio. Freshness!!
holy pies we need the fm radio and the 3 axis accelerometer! those are awesome features! I mean, just imagine if you could take a beat from the radio, sample it, splice it with the internal synthesizer, and then shake it like a sword with a dead guy on it (inside joke)! __I think people aren't taking the op-1 in the right way. I think it's supposed to be like the new microkorg, but kind of more avant-garde. Remember when the micro came out? I don't know if you had the same reaction, but I was like"Holy crap! A full fledged synth with little mini keys and an interface that is a pain in the neck to sift through! Thats crazy! Who would buy it?" __but i was wrong, and it's one of the best selling synths out there. I think you shouldn't really comepare the op-1 to other synths, because it's not like other synths. It's the crazy little swedish monster-vl tone from hell! That being said, your right. 700$ is way to high to pay for an op-1. But i would buy one.

i agree with you, but the korg electribe ex-1 costs 429, and it synthesizes, samples, sequences,slices,dices… but I agree with you though.

Looks like something that belongs in the kitchen.
But the tape effects are ultra cool.
Seems to be cool but I'd never pay $700.

there is a lot of things they are purposefully not showing in the videos. for example, they have only shown one of the eight synth engines.
I'D PAY $500 NOW FOR IT. $700 IF THEY INCLUDE A SEMI – COKED UP HO WITH NO DISEASES.

Dfez, that WAS FUNNY! π
I wouldn't buy this based on what I heard in the video. It sounds crappy and there isn't a playable keyboard. (I don't consider little switches a keyboard)

haters~ the sound engine in the OP-1 will be something like a monomachine, a slew of voices to pick from. the square/pulse synth was just the first one implemented and demonstrated. i'm cool with that much synth power at half the price in a body that makes me wanna touch it in the kitchen <3

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
$700! how about a microKorg for like 350, this is too expensive!! I could think of million of other things that I could get with that money,, Am i missing something,, what is it exactly?
With Apple-like eye-appeal, of course people will pay $700 for it – even if they can't play the damn thing. If you want a 'proper' synth, then you shouldn't be commenting, as I am afraid that this design icon is not for you!
na $700 to much insted ill bay a pioneer mixer for $600
i aint a tranp! I am Dutch. Only a tramp possebly can't avord one (out here) if it is around 700 Dollar

I would happily pay $700 for this piece of merchandise !! When is it out ?!?! >.<'
$700!!!!!! thats £400 . best get saving paper round money π
I would definitely pay 700 US for this box, plus tax, judging from patch samples I've heard, but only if it had a real keyboard of practical proportions. Just a few octaves would be sufficient. Or if it were just a box with a midi and/or USB port, that would be fine too if the voicing capabilities were extensive. The enclosure & interface design is beautiful work, but the price point is too high for me. Good luck! π
or red?!?
must have.
A camera? What the fuck use would that have you prick?
The secrecy surrounding this product is very annoying, however much interest TE think they are generating – at the end of the day, I still have no clue as to what can really be done on this machine. Has it got step recording, how many patterns can it record? Is it just 4 tracks?? Are they mono, stereo? How much overdubbing can be performed or stored?
Have I missed something, because most of the fundamental functions I'd want and I imagine most other potential customers would want don't seem to be there, or very well promoted.
What is the onboard storage capacity? How do you sequence? Is it just a 'scratch/notepad, fun jamming instrument?
There is simply not enough basic information about this machine. All the videos lack depth and seem to focus on basic operations without detailing key features required for music production.
If it does all of the above things that I am still not sure about, yes, I'd pay $700 for it. But I haveno idea if it does to be honest. DO YOU?
make it $500 then will talk
I would buy this thing really and I would now!! But guys, keep fair!! You can´t offer this for 700$! For 700$ I can buy me so much more than this…
It´s a funny little controller and i beleve that this can be pure fun! But not more and only for 299$!
Trust me!!
when you realize it's not just a controller the sticker won't shock you so much =) wait and see!
when and where will we actually be able to buy these from (UK) ?
purchased.
i'd pay 700$ it really worth it π
the sounds off this is too bad quality sounds polyphonic tbh 700$ is to over priced when i can make better music on my nokia
I think he was joking "you prick".
I like the fact that flexible OLEDs have a faster response time than LEDs!
