Musician Thoj performs a live looping session on the Teenage Engineering OP-1 synthesizer, building a deep house track layer by layer.

“The OP-1 in action”
Live looping demo of the Teenage Engineering OP-1 synthesizer.
Teenage Engineering OP-1, a music synthesizer. Really well built, buttons and knobs feel fantastic, and the display is super fun. The OP-1 in action: this video
“as an intermediary step, like another commenter suggested, an OP1”
OP-1 suggested as an accessible way into making music.
Sounds like you need to get a modular synthesizer :) link Or, as an intermediary step, like another commenter suggested, an OP1: this video llllllll is a fantastic community of people building/playing with new & experimental musical instruments: link
“the OP-1 is a great tool[1][2].”
OP-1 live looping demo for the musically inclined.
Seems like you really know your house. Not sure if you're musically inclined but if so the OP-1 is a great tool[1][2]. If you ever make it to nyc hit me up, I know James well and I'm sure he'd enjoy your thoughts around E2-E4. [1] link [2] this video
