It's tempting to think of Teenage Engineering as a frustrating synthesizer manufacturer, but they're really a design studio. They're much more interested in exploring new ways to integrate sound, life and technology than excelling at a particular product segment.
It's pretty much the opposite of what Behringer is doing. That company is totally focused on scale, reducing consumer prices, and bringing synths to the mass market. (with all the ethical corner cutting that brings with it)
- IvanGoneKrazy 6y agoIndeed Teenage Engineering is a design studio which just happens to have some synthesizer products. One of the TE founders, Jesper Kouthoofd, used to work with Elektron, a Swedish synthesizer firm. While there he designed the Machinedrum product's UI. https://www.elektronauts.com/t/elektron-and-teenage-engineering/955 https://www.elektronauts.com/t/elektron-and-teenage-engineer...
