Video: Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 mini-synth
We only heard about Teenage Engineering’s Operator-1 a couple of days ago. But such was our excitement at the prospect of a brand-new and possibly-brilliant mini-synth that we made stopping by their booth in Frankfurt a priority.
Here it is then – our very first video from the Frankfurt show – in which the Teenage Engineering guys talk us through the Operator-1 (or OP-1 for short). Put briefly, it’s a synth (FM, virtual analogue, pulse-based and more), a sampler, a sequencer (top secret at the moment), an FM radio (which, of course, you can sample), and a MIDI-controller – all pimped out with battery operation and a high-contrast OLED screen.
Oh, and it’s absolutely tiny – and looks amazing too.

sound? how does it sound? without it video is useless!
Hi adam,
The model is just a prototype so no sounds yet… MusicRadar will bring you sounds as soon as they’re ready!
