EP–133 K.O. II - Something new from Teenage Engineering 2023-11-22
It seems like Teenage Engineering will reveal something new next wednesday (2023-11-22)
Let the speculation begin!
OP-X?
Comments
Colour me intrigued !
Red umbrella with a built in metronome.
Hmmm, interesting indeed. I can't wait to see what the announcement is about.
They should update the op-1 field before they con more people out of their money. Company is a bunch of hacks.
What’s your issue with the OP-1 Field ? It’s still relatively new, do t forget they supported the OP-1 with FREE updates for 10 years so imagine there will be a pathway planned for the OP-1F.
Also after looking at the advert a little closer might it be a DAW in a box or perhaps their take on a multitrack ?
A $1,000 lunchbox?
Maybe when it comes to their "furniture", but their musical products look hella fun to play with. And @CRAKROX made some good points as well.
They have the android app already, maybe an iOS one?
Karaoke-1 Field.
It only works with their CM-15 microphone. Fits in your wallet.
Price: $9,999.99
I'm hoping it's wallpaper.
It better be a $3000 midi enabled umbrella. ☔😤
Hahaha this sounds so real…I’m gonna back this one
If they are hacks, they have succeeded in hacking out some products much beloved by some pretty impressive artists.
Like or don’t like what they do…but hard to see how one can call them hacks.
I hope the op-1 field gets more features and effects added to it. But so far there have been 11 updates, including adding velocity sensitivity to the keyboard, per tape mixer settings, increasing the endless sequencer steps to 999, and the addition of a vocoder.
I loved and miss my old OP-1 dearly. I’m saving for the field now but it’ll be some time before I get it. Probably next February/March. If this is indeed an update to the OP-z I will unfortunately be tempted to get both lol
Would be cool to see an iOS app though.
For two thousand dollars I shouldn’t be getting clicks and pops when recording. This is my biggest gripe. I mean I love my OP one field and I won’t ever sell it but I am very bitter because the clicks and pops were supposed to be fixed and this is the reason I bought this machine. If they fix this and gave us some sort of granular effect then I would be 100% happy.
$1,000 Field Thimble...
... with $400 Field Pouch...
When you buy their stuff you field ripped off.
Freudian slip or intentional quip, if so good pun
This makes me field sad 😞
I don't get clicks or pops when recording. But I can get them if I use the drum sampler and don't set the slices to play the entire sample when triggered. I've also gotten some when dropping lifted bits onto a track. TE needs to implement some kind of fades for that.
I hope this new product is something I don't like because I've just done xmas shopping and I'm strapped.
As usual there’s some ranting when Teenage Engineering is discussed here on the forum…
Sure, I’m a Swedish guy, so, perhaps why I always will stand up for that company…
Teenage Engineering produce & sell high quality hardware with high pricetags, so do Apple…
Just as an example for some perspective - Teenage Engineerings yearly revenue is the same as what Apple has per hours - Apple is almost 9000 times bigger as a company…
It's a 1000$ field chair to go with that field table.
wow I didn't know that.
I own 2 things from TE, I like them very much and use them every day.
I'd like it if TE made a multitrack recorder to go along with the TX-6 (12 in/out and the ability to record 4 tracks straight from the OP-1), or a field size effects processor. Since I'm strapped for cash I hope the new product is neither of those.
Looking at the graphic in the original post
There are icons for:
play
record (possibly)
midi
audio waveform
a keyboard
what looks like a lightning connector but could be a mic
a computer
a tube
an old record player that signifies mono
And icons that look like:
a watch (bpm?)
an umbrella (wet/dry mix?)
a boombox (bluetooth?)
scissors (edit?)
a rabbit (duplicate?)
letters P and E
number 3
simon says (a choice of four options, color-wise maybe inputs or outputs? blue for MIDI, pink for mic, red for audio, orange for?)
a grid half pink (looks a tiny bit like the OP-1f mother reverb gate icon, maybe a gated reverb?)
stack of three red boxes going into the distance (delay?)
a guy punching or spinning or something (maybe related to the punch filter effect in the OP-1f?)
graphic with arrows (looks like a switch, in/out maybe?)
Having nothing to do with all I wrote above, I speculate it's something to do with Pocket Operators.
The OP-Z is basically a big PO so I’m gonna guess it’s an update to that. It makes sense considering the original has some hardware issues AND they just released the new OP-1. Also the lightening connector. The op-z has an iOS app that acts as a screen so they would make sense as well.
Who knows though. They’re sneak peeks are always a bit cryptic.
Please be an updated op-z for $599 😂 that would hold me over until I get the Field and they’d be great together.
pretty sure some overpriced toy for hipsters, with obviously much higher accent on design/look than on features list , which i will for sure not buy 😂
To me it looks like TE is recently literally trolling their customers and testing how big nonsense they may sell and still be peofitable - so expecting this will be some next level trolling …
Like this:
Everyone has their opinions of course but I wouldn’t say they’re trolling considering the massive OP-1 update a couple years ago and they just released the Field which addressed most of the issues and requests people had for the original.
The wooden choir is ridiculous and absurd though I’ll concede on that. Same with their furniture, shirts, and anything else that isn’t music related.
