What’s so wrong with a cool looking toy?
Once upon a time I worked a full time stressful job at a startup and was well paid.
I didn’t have a lot of time for hobbies, but an op-1 would have been a great way to play around with music. I’d have been a perfect customer and very happy with it.

- cfr2023 4y agoIn my view, "cool toy" in this case is a guise for a proprietary platform and a proprietary method of working on music, which can (alternatively) be the most open and free thing in the world. Teenage Engineering goes belly up and your unit breaks, the pathway to creative activity you spent time training is lost, more than if you'd initially bought say, a harmonica, or spent the same $$$ on a conventional instrument, a conventional sampler or computer software.
