Yes, because it managed to capture a self-sustaining hype cycle powered by customers who for the most part don't really know what they're buying. It's more of a status item than an actually fun or useful musical instrument, IMO. This thread reminds me, I need to sell mine.
- alluro2 4y agoI was curious to hear about other products that are similar, but superior to OP-1, that previous reply alluded to.
- wyager 4y agoIf someone said "I have a $1400 (or $2000, now that they've raised the price) budget for a lightweight portable jambox/production setup, what would you recommend?" I would tell them to get an iPad Pro, an external audio interface, and a MIDI USB peripheral of their choice. GarageBand on iPad is perfectly fine for the type of screwing around you can do on an OP1, it's much more powerful overall, and it even supports stuff like MIDI inputs and MIDI clock master.
- crtasm 4y agoThe OP1 has midi input over USB.
- xdfgh1112 4y agoI'm not an expert but I suspect an iPad with some interesting groovebox apps would provide just as much fun and be more powerful.
- eric-burel 4y agoAs a beginner I think ipad + audiokit synths + impc pro is a killer setup
