Here's a review:



Now, it looks really good (as does most of their products), but it's the PRICE! WTF.

For those that don't know, these units are really small and I'm not a fan of that since I'm so used to regular-sized gear like the MPC and whatnot. I know some people are into the smaller gear but it's just not for me. Although I do like the EP-133 https://teenage.engineering/products/ep-133. I checked it out in the store and not only does it look like a calculator, the buttons felt like it too lol.

Anyway, the OP-XY looks nice but I'm just thinking of other gear like the Akai 37 for example, where it costs way less and you can do way more.

Dunno what the fuck is going on there. He's talking all maths and shit and then says 'simplicity'.

I'm sure it's a cool toy or whatnot (i say that not in a demeaning way), but it looks like it would be annoying to use. imho

interesting tho

Yeah that's how I see it with this type of gear. If I got something it would only to mess around with but I wouldn't make it the main part of my setup.

That'll be a no from me, Id rather get an MPC X for the same money.
Knobs can get to a point that they are so small that precise control is impossible, I have had similar issues with dj controllers and scratching.

Teenage Engineering is a strange strange company. I have no interest in their stuff because their pricing is absolutely ridiculous. I've also never seen their stuff used in hip hop, personally. A lot of pop stuff in the videos i've seen of people using em.

Yeah it's weird with their pricing. Some stuff is a few hundred, then you have THIS.
