I was gone on a “vacation” for 35 days. I guess OP-1 Field has not been updated since? Just curious. Haven’t seen anything.
I just can’t with this company. To each their own, I guess. $2000 USD for the set. What recession?
If it makes people this angry it must be art
I don’t really care about this stuff but man, the sound of these things in the first video- I had to immediately turn it of because it sounds so sad/depressive in a way. Really horrible. Maybe reminds me of a church choir or something, that can do the same. To me.
Uuuuh feeling better already…
If I was super rich… I’d buy these just to chuck a bowling ball at em!
“We know you love those electric synthesizers, so your grandfather and I found these adorable wooden figurines on the home shopping channel. They make singing sounds! Look, one has the cutest tiny sombrero!”
You think Hermes suffers in a recession?
Nope, still waiting for version 1.3.0 of the op-1f firmware.
Teenage Engineering is the Apple of the synth world, design first. Love my OP-1 but more productive making music on my Elektrons and modular synths to be honest.
This is the Dark Souls of comparisons
This is their way to celebrate the history of the company I guess. From Jesper (the co-founder of TE): « without the absolut choir there would be no OP-1, no pocket operators, speakers or synths. there wouldn’t even be a company named teenage engineering. »
finally, a gig amp for my pocket operator … but it looks like without a firmware update, i can’t just connect the sound calculator to the talking doll? i can wait … po slays straight into the pa anyway ;,)
The two genders.
Is it just me, or does the TE choir sound like the Monomachine voice synth?
Compare choir:
and MnM (more first part, not so much the end)
I found it very beautiful. Fantastic composition and chord progressions. Definitely melancholic yes.
Maybe in this thread can we find the answer?

This needs a mod where every wooden doll is a different version of Stephen Hawking, each from their own parallel universe.
If I only could think of a name for that choir…
I thought this clip was really cool. The artist Lonely Dear playing the wooden choir while singing…
… um … what?
Casual in-joke at the expense of arbitrary “gender essentialism” and a strict binary of human experience.
Hence these memes making light of the absurdity of all the square peg, round hole roles taken over-seriously, and for no good end
Can explain meaning and context in PM to avoid any further tangent, but the core of the humor is empathy and punch-up.
