Without getting into the weeds, the value I see anyone getting from an OP-1 (of any generation) is still the all-in-one musical notepad angle, and I just don't see that being anywhere above the price of an iPad (which trounces the OP-1 in terms of music features if you install AUM and the Audiokit Pro synths - no DAWs involved).

#9As a non-musician I had defended TE in the past just because I think their shit looks really cool and fun. But this is egregious. This is marketing only a communications major could love, and even then, god damn

#10This is cringe and feels very much like the BrewDog of music hardware where they dress up cynical marketing tricks as some sort of statement.
