I'm a fan of Teenage Engineering. I think they make some really cool products but they have a few that really makes me wonder, who is this for?

#32Really like the website design. Unique, but not at a sacrifice of usability
Try opening it when your browser is full screen at 1440p.
You can't even see the whole device without scrolling.

#33I like the interesting segment display.
I absolutely hate the rounded rectangular buttons within the hard square cut-outs.
i'm not the market, so maybe I just don't know what i'm judging.

#36Don’t miss the lovingly crafted manual: https://teenage.engineering/guides/ep-1320
Looks great blown up on a 4K monitor due to extensive use of SVG.

Nobody, that's the best part.

That is both amazing and frightful. I like the creativity that we can find these days.

I think their target audience are well-heeled Apple customers who like to imagine that they are musicians. Hacker culture doesn't have a "collector of expensive African originals" role, so "amateur who collects equipment far out of proportion to the time they invest in using any of it" has formed to collect the same psychological energy. It's about the combination of the creator fantasy on the surface backed up by the collector's motives beneath.
It is a very common way to present as a consumer in hobby markets, but it has elaborated itself to a great degree in this case because hobbyist musicians aren't surrounded by retired session artists the way, for example, woodworkers are surrounded by retired tradesmen.

It's a reskin of the EP-133, so likely reusing most of the manufacturing tooling as-is.
