OP–1

injected with more than a decade of ideas,refinements and improvements. just to mention a few: stereothroughout the whole signal chain, bluetooth midi, usb type-c, a newspeaker system with a passive driver for detailed, fat and loud sound,a massive 24 hour battery life, multiple tapes and recording formats,new great sounding reverb and the 'dimension' synth engine, an allglass, flush, high resolution display. we also meticulously reworked allgraphics, screen by screen. did we mention fm broadcasting?well, that's just some of the 100 new features:

new! hardened glasshigh resolution flush display with adjustable brightness.
reworked, refined, reborn.
think of OP–1 field as the natural continuation of its predecessor.updated with the latest technology, improved design and finely tuned with
professional musicians, recording artists and sound designers in mind.higher quality in all aspects, from its circuitry to connectivity and flexibility,it's tailor made for professionals in the field.
professional musicians, recording artists and sound designers in mind.higher quality in all aspects, from its circuitry to connectivity and flexibility,it's tailor made for professionals in the field.
the new stereo sample engine is just one of the features that takes the OP–1 fieldto a higher level. with increased sampling time up to 20 seconds anddual layer mode for instant mixing of the A and B channels or via an assigned lfo.
four new recording formats: studio 4-track, vintage 4-track, porta and disc mini.all with their own unique characteristics and graphics.now with multiple tapes or discs, up to 8 in total.
if it feels thinner. it is.
we didn't want to alter the original OP–1 too much, because we think we got itmore or less right the first time; but by lowering the aluminum bodyaround the keyboard, the new OP–1 field feels lighter, thinner and more precise.with 2k molding we also managed to fit a dual 2.4 GHzantenna system inside the aluminum body.
one of the 2.4 gHz antennas is the tiny white line between the D and the E key.
the back is warm, velcro and bass.
we added two soft velcro rings on the back for fastening covers and accessories.perhaps you want to stick your OP–1 field on top of your full size keyboard orslap it on a guitar? use the included adhesive looped back and start experimenting.on the right you'll find an additional passive loudspeaker for hugely improved bass. and for a ’no-more-cold-metal-on-your-lap’ experience, we enfoldedthe aluminum body in a warm, soft touch, hard cover.
the first accessory out using the VELCRO rings is the bill amberg leather wrap that attaches to the back andwraps around the OP–1 field and locks around the encoders. explore accessories.
