Create Digital Music posted this early peak of Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 at NAMM. I had seen pictures of the OP-1, but seeing a video of this thing is really tickling my gear spot. It’s a beautiful design, and the display is gorgeous. It looks like a blast to mess around with. There are only a few instruments in the last few years I have lusted for after only seeing them (the Moog Little Phatty being one), and this definitely falls into that category.
Wait – did I just say ‘gear spot’?
Cara just watched this, and all she heard was “dork dork dork dork dork MIDI dork dork interface dork dork”, so be warned.

One Comment so far. Leave a comment below.The original Moog synthesizer was invented 20 minutes from my house. There’s a whole book on it by local professor/rock enthusiast Trevor Pinch.
