Teenage Engineering OP–XY
- slater 2y ago"das sequenzer" ... shouldn't it be "der"?
- anamexis 2y agoI think they took some liberties to make it seem "more German". See also the umlaut in "liebe aüf den ersten blick".
- PreInternet01 2y ago[flagged]
- pizzalife 2y agoThis is clearly inspired by the german band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and the electronic body music genre in general, which are widely known in Sweden. Has nothing to do with Trump.

- pizzalife 2y agoWhat are you talking about? There is a whole music scene in Sweden that uses german loan words and often purposefully incorrect german in their music, to make it sound better for the Swedish audience. See Sturm Café, Kommando XY, Tyskarna från Lund (literally The Germans from Lund) etc. While they evoke the leather uniform Deutsche aesthetic, they are all anti-fascist btw. Kommando XY has a song called "Skinheads fuck off".

- seeekr 2y agoprobably a riff on "das Auto" (Volkswagen ad)
- dist-epoch 2y agodas is what non-german people think it's what should be, and that makes it the correct one. simulacrum/simulacra, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, etc
- ziofill 2y agoI remember attending a German language course in Berlin (25 years ago) with some other international students and this american kid who was railing against using die and der for objects that clearly had no gender: "what do you say?? die snowboard? der snowboard???" (it's das XD)
- llm_nerd 2y ago$2300 USD.... Buy a Macbook Air, Logic Pro and a Mini Lab 3 and have hundreds left over. All while enjoying an infinitely more powerful stack. Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but Teenage Engineering has had a series of very low quality, fault-prone gimmick devices that quickly end up forgotten in drawers. Hard to take this seriously.

- dist-epoch 2y agoYou're not the target market. You're not cool.
- nickpeterson 2y agoThis applies to a lot of things in my life as I get older, it’s nice.
- nimbius 2y agofrom the guys who brought you a $1000USD bluetooth speaker, the $240 leather sack, and the always popular $50 tshirt comes, "we dont understand how western inflation works in the context of consumer confidence as it applies to discretionary spending as a function of income"
- neom 2y agoTo be fair, I find the audio from my OD-11 considerably superior to my A9. Not as good as my Ferguson Hill Jetstream however.
- wahnfrieden 2y agoGood to know about OD-11. I like the OB-4 though it's not good value for the sound alone. Are you running OD-11 in multi channel mode? And are you flexing a $130k+ system?
- barbazoo 2y ago> liebe aüf den ersten blick. "aüf" is not a thing, should be "auf"

- muhammadusman 2y agoI want TE to make a keyboard so bad!
- pacomerh 2y agoWell, the Altar keyboard has that TE vibe, I don't know if you've seen it. https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/ https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/ Its also similar in how expensive it is :D
- neom 2y agoSeems like a fun device, somewhere between the OP1 and the Z. Decent reviews (Cuckoo and rando): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvo-MYh4vdA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvo-MYh4vdA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHImk9MeqZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHImk9MeqZM
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoLooks like a Sinclair QL. Which is not a bad thing. But the faux-German is cringe. Weird flex, too, considering that Germany itself is a huge market for these kinds of instruments.
- mcphage 2y agoTeenage Engineering is based out of Sweden.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoYes, I know. And?

- sambapa 2y agoThank you insufferable rich people buying synths without an ounce of musical talent
- ThinkBeat 2y agoIs this built for using live on stage? Apart from that and mostly including it, it looks like a masochists dream. Makes me appreciate what a good job Akai did with the early MCP.
