There's no denying the OP-1 looms large in the world of modern hardware synths. Everyone knows it, a lot of people have one despite the price tag. Its design aesthetic and portability have certainly been influential. How many people actually use it to make music? I have no idea, but it seems like a relatively controversial synth instrument when it comes to discussing its actual capabilities and usefulness (its successor, the OP-1F has done little to change that by doubling the price tag but not substantially changing its feature set). Personally I don't think I could ever got much done with it, but I could see myself at least having some fun with it.
