What about Apple? I think most Apple products are incredibly beautiful

I remember buying the first OP-1 when it came out for something around $700 and even then thought "wow, this is a stretch". Since then they _raised_ the price of the original north of $1k. Don't get me wrong, TE makes incredible stuff and the OP-1 is no exception, but the price point just doesn't make sense unless you have serious money to burn. I had the same reaction to you after seeing the price for the mk2. At le…

Agreed. The OP-1 always reminded me of the IIgs keyboard. https://i0.wp.com/jdanatrent.com/wp-content/uploads/AppleIIG...

But there something Ive-ish with the design as well, certainly.

Teenage engineering synth designs are blatantly copied from old Casio synths and calculators: TE: https://images.musicstore.de/images/1280/teenage-engineering... casio: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJKofVLVYAAdKoq.jpg TE: https://img.kytary.com/eshop_fr/velky_v2/na/6369949662008700... casio https://cf.shopee.com.my/file/59a4ec33a7568b15f89ecd821e0bd8...

The people complaining about the price tag: I get it. But the OP-1 is literally the only piece of music gear you can bring on an airplane and write a whole song. Why has no one else figured that out? With all these groove boxes etc, why has no other music gear taken the step of being portable and all-in-one. Show me another way to write a song in an airplane, and you can have my money.
There are a ton of replies with counter-examples, but all of those are not exactly like the OP-1: a fun, easy to use, ultraportable, immediate music creation sketchpad. Many other grooveboxes are quite painful to use. Here I’d include the Korg Electribe which is terrible at inputting musical notes. Or the several trackers which look more like scientific calculators than musical instruments. My MPC live can run circle…
I own a Model:Samples, the battery is just velcro attached to it. This is not awkward, it serves as a tilt stand which is actually nice.
The Deluge buying process involve adding to cart, pay. How different is it from anything else really?
We are talking about boarding a plane? How boot time of the MPC Live/One or a daw on a laptop is relevant?
I have absolutely no use for the products made by teenage engineering, as I don't have a clue about audio production. But scolling thought their store, I still want to own these beatiful devices.
The problem with TE is that they are building top quality toys, not tools. Maybe those toys can be used as tools in some niche context, but as a non-musician I wouldn't know. I'd love to see them selling a more general purpose pocket computer, with the same high quality design and even the hefty price tag. A pocket computer made for hackers (the tinkering kind)
It's called the Playdate. https://play.date/dev/
Two buttons, no peripherals, clearly a toy.
