OP-1

Seems overpriced.

>>74936809
this might be all there is to say about it

>>74936801
it looks pleb that's for sure. getting a strong iMac vibe

>>74936809
this guy gets it

>>74936809
and your alternative(s) for a portable workstation at that price is?

>>74936837
a laptop

>>74936837
Midi controller with knobs, free vsts and reaper?

>>74936855
damn just killin em cold blooded

this thing is nothing but a fucking novelty, limited amount of synth patches, limited record functionality, just why.

>>74936801
overpriced

you know it "fa.m" haha dab on it


but in all seriousness i wouldn't buy hardware that's that small and novelty oriented. Getting a synthesizer (whose sounds you couldnt emulate via software (which you can do 90% of the time, let's be real)) to plug into your large setup at home is one thing, this isn't that. It's not really worth getting IMO.

digital synth enclosure for 900
fuck all that

Red Means Recording does a good job. It is limited though, which he openly admits. It does seem nice that it's more of a physical workstation.

>>74937109
so does Cuckoo

>>74937109
I work all day on a computer, so a physical workstation seems like a nice change.

So, can anyone talk from experience on this? Anyone who did more than just noodle on one in a music store?

>>74937205
>too autistic to use serious tools
don't be that guy

Doesn't look all too impressive imo. There are better things to spend 900 bucks on. Heck, might aswell get Serum / VPS Avenger / Massive or whatever plugin and a MIDI Controller and you're set.

>>74937243
I guess, that's a no.

It's the new urbanite yuppie fad.Look at how many of them are dumped on ebay/reverb.

>>74936801
I'd like it a lot if it was half the price. But at $900, you could get a Korg Monologue and one of those Roland reproductions for much less.

It's portable & inspirational, it has fun sequencers and boutique synths. All the haters complaining it's a toy are sad sacks who couldn't make 900$ off 1 song if their life depended on it. That said an iPad & a handful of apps might be cheaper and offer a more diverse range of sounds.

>>74938964
Korg monologue + Roland boutique still doesn't come close to the possibilities OP1 offers.

>>74936801
what are you trying to do here?

>>74936837
save a little bit more and buy an octatrack

fpbp.
I'd love to have one but not fucking happening for that idiotic price.

It's a lot like Beats by Dr. Dre; not irredeemably terrible, just insanely overpriced.
Actually, most of Teenage Engineering's products follow this rule.

If you can find one for under $600, buy it. Otherwise, too much.

>>74940152
but Beats ARE terrible

>>74940175
Nah. They'd pretty reasonable if they only cost like $35. They're not dollar store terrible.

>>74936855
fuck dude he had a family

Once upon a time an artist I really admired used some cheap sampler to make awesome music and a couple years ago he switched to the OP-1 and now makes shit remixes. ;_;

I used to own one, ended up selling it because I could get the same results with Ableton and a a few cheap pieces of hardware. It's intuitive as hell but becomes a bit finicky when you want to branch out.

But yeah, it's way too expensive. I would price this thing at a solid $400.

100% OP1's design schema is also why the price is so high. Pumping in a firmware that robust on that little of device that isn't a phone is quite extraordinary. However they do sound a bit manky live, but again if u know what you are doing in the right context it can equal an MPC on steroids if u have more than one and the knowledge.
