The UI design on the OP-1 has to be up there with any number of great moments in industrial design.
The decision to remove the Rhodes piano sample pack from the default firmware, including for anyone who upgraded, has to be up there with one of the worst decisions in product management of all time.
Also, the disparity between models with clickable control knobs and unclickable knobs to this day makes me feel deeply uncomfortable.
May we find it in our hearts to forgive. If it weren’t for their genius we wouldn’t even have noticed these minuscule flaws. Happy Birthday :)
- ljm 6y agoI splashed out for an OP-1 but I bought it from Amazon rather than straight from Teenage Engineering. It was still sold under their store name, it seemed. The best £1000 I've ever wasted, and kept the box for, just in case. It's a beautiful bit of kit (and it has the clicky controls) but I've still not become proficient enough to do anything but treat it as a toy. One day... one day... I'll make something practical using it. Suffice to say, this is not the next Marc Rebillet speaking.
- wallwarp 6y agoWasn’t expecting a mention of Marc on HN, but I was pleasantly surprised. Things that bring true joy are easily worth £1000 :). Happy playing/composing!
