things we like: the OP-1 synthesiser

It’s highly admirable aesthetics aside, the OP-1 Synthesiser is a musicians wet dream come true. Viewing it is tantamount to lusting after your favorite flesh and blood pin-up. But, like most things we use it is all about the performance, and this little gadget-that-could performs beautifully. Our Swedish brethren and sistren at Teenage Engineering are raising the bar heavenward with no end in sight. The OP-1 features eight synthesizer engines, a built-in 24 voice sampler, 4 track tape recorder,  4 track mixer with EQ, Effect, USB MIDI controller, and it’s Mac and PC compatible and this is just the shortlist. The OP-1 is a bit pricey, at just under 1K U.S. but so worth every single krona. For a complete rundown on what’s what you’ll have to visit www.teenageengineering.com. Peace.
