half of the article is paywalled, given that no one on hn actually reads the article i suspect its not an issue here


>The common narrative is that it was insurrection.

how many people from Jan 6 have been charged with insurrection?


The event was an insurrection. Several have been charged with seditious conspiracy, as your earlier commenters have pointed out. Others have other charges.

Here is a quick Google result for your perusal: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insider.com/all-the-us-capi...


is it good engineering to put a synthesizer and sequencer inside of a mixer? how do you even use those features?


A sequencer for the /mixer/ is terribly terribly useful. Basically like having control parameters in a tracker, but for any arbitrary input you've plugged into the mixer. And knowing TE, I would be shocked if you couldn't target the mixer params with the sequencer. (Arguably, this is part of the value prop (hahahahahaha) for modular synthesizers.)

The synthesizer is probably more 'because they can,' once the rest of the software/hardware interface is in place. It's close enough to what they've already done lots of with the pocket operators; might as well throw one in so people can prototype sounds easily.


For a portable tool you can play with on a flight or in a park or on public transit, it sounds like a fun option to have.

> how do you even use those features?

It has knobs, what more do you need to make music? The user guide if you’re curious: https://teenage.engineering/guides/tx-6


2 channel audio mixer, pretty much one of the most common devices out there


interesting, I was looking on Amazon like a year ago and couldn't find anything like that, but now I see there's several <$50 devices just like that! thanks


yamaha mixers are good


not understanding this argument. i'm not a synth manufacturer. korg and roland put out plenty of gear with great features for a lower price than this


Well, someone should tell TE then, because they obviously don't know they're making a huge mistake and this will fail miserably.


im sure there are plenty of fools willing to spend the money on this for cool points, doesnt necessarily mean it isnt stupid


can someone explain to me why their gear is so expensive? i have a lot of synths and have been collecting them for a long time, and I have no idea why the OP1 should cost 1000 dollars. it really just seems like a toy, do professionals actually use them?


You have to pick a price for high end low volume products and that price often ends up containing a whole lot of development and overhead costs. You can cut corners with development and materials and lose the high end to try for volume, you can try to get your thing very popular, or you can just stick to high prices. High prices tends to get you a better customer base and a sense of exclusivity which drives sales.


professionals absolutely use the OP-1. Deadmau5, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Skrillex, Thom Yorke and many more.


Take a look at Red Means Recording on YouTube for what the OP-1 is capable of. Very cool piece of hardware
