Machina Countdown
Machina prototype 2 has landed at our studio! Next step is to test ride, and then go straight to fabrication...hopefully...more pics in a minute!
More Op-1 sounds
We promised some more sounds, here is some weird bass stuff:op-1-bass-test and op-1-misc-bass!
Op-1 String synth example
Howdy people! We got a new string snippet. The plan was to add a couple of more demos but today we got a visit by three dogs (all different sorts), we went to the garbage dump (two times) with lots of old stuff to make room for 108 boxes of clothes (that arrived last week). Anyway, here is something to start with: OP-1 String Masterclass
OP-1 new sound samples soon…
This week has been a little busy, we have added several new functions to the OP-1. Check this space early next week for some new and fresh demos.
Warp20 anniversary in Paris
Fantastique! Teenage Engineering will participate at Warps 20 anniversary concert in Paris 8-9th of May with Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin. We will show our Absolut Choir installation live! See you in Paris at the Cité de la musique!
Nano Spot
Well...probably the worlds smallest Halogen Spot just arrived from the factory. We gonna do some testing and see if it works as planned before we offer it for sale. Enjoy.
Studio System feedback
We got some feedback on our Studio System at the Musik Messe as well. One question was to make a part so you can mount a microphone clamp to the tube. We have planned parts like this, but it's exactly this type of interaction with users and other music equipment manufacturers we intend for the Studio System. So for your information we will now design a camera mounting/Microphone Clamp thread part and send to manufacture the coming weeks. Open question: Any part you really need and you think others need as well? (Other than our planned ¼″ BSW for microphone clamps/cameras?) Any input on this subject is welcomed. We also plan a ( 40 cm) rod with standard rack mount holes, release around July, for really nice rack set-ups in your studio. And of course, the OP-1 also has M6 threads on the back to mount on a Studio System rig.
OP-1 reviews
Here's a quick collection of "first impression" reviews collected on the web. Enjoy and thanks! And please let us know if we have missed one, so we can add it in this post.- http://createdigitalmusic.com/tag/op-1/

Goodbye Frankfurt
The musikmesse is now over. We packed all our stuff in less than 1 hour thanks to our new case-system. It's been great fun. Once again, thanks to everyone visiting our booth also thanks to the Messe for the smooth trade show. We're on our way home now. See you soon.
More Messe Friday…
And... we also just want to say thanks to everyone that came by our booth today. We met a lot of super-nice people from programmers to distributors and individuals (!) Next week when we get back to Stockholm, we will do our best to answer all emails we got this week.
Messe friday, OP-1 beta closing.
The beta sign-up will be closed tomorrow night. After that you can only sign up for the newsletter.
Quick Messe Update Day 2
We had a really busy day today. We just got back from the show and now we are at the hotel resting our feet and legs (with old fashioned beer treatment). We will soon post some nice pictures of our stand so you get an idea about the hard work we do over here. Thanks again to all of you visiting us today for the nice response and all clever constructed questions about pricing and delivery dates...
More OP-1 info
Here's some more info about the OP-1 and the Beta program: The Beta sign-up is non-binding and all of you who has signed up, will get a confirmation email when the time is right. • The Beta release is scheduled (very) late this year. • The hardware dev. is on schedule and will be finalized before summer. • 4 synth modules are completed and 4 more are under dev. • We will mail more information next week to all Beta prospects.
Last 1st day report
Hello again friends. Here's the final report for the day. We are tired and wasted after a whole day of "Messe". We have met a lot of nice new friends from portugal to finland. Thank you all again for the great feedback. Tomorrow we will load our fridge with icecold fresh beer, so please come by and join us. See you.
