So yeah, the $2000 price point will work great for them, given their customer demographics :)

What about Apple? I think most Apple products are incredibly beautiful
Agreed. The OP-1 always reminded me of the IIgs keyboard. https://i0.wp.com/jdanatrent.com/wp-content/uploads/AppleIIG...
I know a number of electronic musicians, and none of them has an OP-1, or anything from TE. The only person I know with an OP-1 is a designer at a startup I worked for, and he "didn't get around using it much yet ".

The video shows me that OP-1 is a pretty cool all-in-one package, but it probably needs honing a special skill to work with it as smoothly as that guy does.

I beg to differ. I mean sure, the OP-1 isn't as versatile as a laptop with a good daw and a few plugins but hardware still has its' place in some producers' gear bag. For a standalone device it's extremely versatile and it does sound good.

First, we're not talking about hardware in general but that TE device precisely and second "it sounds good" is really a matter of taste here, the synth engine is very limited and…
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.

Apart from... * Laptop with your favourite DAW * iPad with GarageBand or Android Tablet with Caustic * I would put Novation Circuit in similar category though depends on your definition of whole song * Synthstorm Deluge * Digitakt Elektron? * Some of the Roland grooveboxes and systems * Some of the Akai APC/MPC…

Of course - it's all in software solution but it's pretty powerful actually. But it's more like a DAW or tracker style of things.

I have been looking at the Roland TR-6S or T-8 to go with a portable DJ kit like the Reloop Ready.

On what planet is this actually worth $2000?
I'm really disappointed to see TE become this lifestyle company and continue jacking up their prices.
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.
