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 first version didn't sound really good given its price. This is absolutely a hipster device, just like all TE products.

Don't make it about hardware vs software, this red herring has nothing to do with my comment.


I've seen the op-1 I'm the stage kits of a bunch of my favorite artists. Nine inch nails, Zola Jesus, Dan Deacon come to mind...


What was your experience when you tried out the OP-1?
