Internal SMPTE generator would have been nice feature for field recorder that i may consider replacing my sound device mixpre with TP-7
not only it does nothing, but it’s just a piece of rock
Diamonds have many industrial uses

this is a very neat little artefact/object. I’m outraged by the price like the next person, but I’m pretty confident we’d all like to own one. I’d instabuy this at $300.

We all want this for the wrong reasons.
I kinda wanna compare TE with Dubai but instead of building everything huge for no good reason TE goes for insane small. All with an extreme dose of marketing pretending it’s clever design.

Honestly not seeing what this thing does that my sony digital recorder or an iphone can’t already do. This is purely conspicuous consumption. I’m sure some youtubers I otherwise enjoy will try to persuade me otherwise, and I will see it in the instagram feed of some artists I like, but I can’t convince myself that the emperor is wearing clothes.

i feel like with most teenage engineering products a large part of its worth is determined by its silly childlike playful experience; and its definitely not for everyone.
for some the video above is a silly gimmick that you would get bored of instantly, and for others its the fundamental element which invites you to interact with the product, and the more you interact with the product the more its personal value increases.
ive never used/interacted with a speaker as much use i did the ob-4, so for me its high price became justifiable to me becuase it was just a joy to interact with.
Although im not completely sold on the TP-7 yet it seems like it could be a similar thing; a recorder that would earn its worth through sheer ongoing immediate joy of interaction (as well as its actual usefulness of course)
I think this is the true ‘design’ stance of TE products regardless of looks/aesthetics, but again, its not an important element for everyone.

So is my iphone! Built in mike, built in speaker, scrub, multitrack, working BT Wifi…it’s all there (much bigger touch screen as well)!

And you can email, message, call etc.
If we’re being honest, we can replace a phone with every synth we have… but that’s not why we are here is it

Fair enough (but we can only replace the digital ones so I always have an excuse to buy analogue toys ;-)). I think we all have to say ‘do I have anything that can already do that’ before we are subject to GAS…that what stop me buying things IO don’t need (sometimes).

Haha that’s true. I think we all have our personal lines that we draw.
So let me see if I understand this correctly @MichaalHell -
I can record, track by track from the OP-1 Field, into the TP-7. And those would actually be separate tracks. Separate recordings. As in a proper multi-tracker.
I can then send those four recordings into the TX-6 as four separate outs, and then do the mix in the TX-6.
And essentially record the master onto the TX-6 USB drive.
So the TP-7 and TX-6 together actually does become a (albeit super expensive) porta studio, although with a bit of an awkward workflow?
But once it’s on the TP-7, it’s pretty smooth to multi-track and mix from the TP-7 onto the TX-6?
No, the OP-1 doesn’t send seperate tracks out… might be Something they add in a new fw. But I can’t assume that it will happen though.
If you record from TX-6 to TP-7 yes… or you could have 3 tracks recorded from the analog inputs or internal mic on the TP-7 and then have those three tracks go through TX-6 and have three more tracks free on TX-6.
The TP-7, TX-6 integration is super smooth imo

Is the recording through USB automatically latency corrected though?
But I can record track by track?
As in Track 1 from OP-1 into Track 1 on TP-7.
then -
Track 2 from OP-1 into Track 2 on TP-7.
And so on .
And then all tracks out from TP-7 into TX-6 for mixing.
Does that work?
The whole company is a parody at this point.

do you mean, because michaal said you have to pick how many tracks you want from the start for a recording? as in, you make a new recording on the tp7. and you say this recording will have 6 multitracks to it. then you play track 1 from op1 into the tp7 using the audio line out to audio line in, and record it on track 1 of the 6 layers of the recording on the tp7. you rewind the recording or whatever you have to do to get it back to the start so you can sync the recording of the next op1 track. then you fill up 3 more tracks on that 1 recording on the tp7, for a total of 4 layers.
then you play that multitrack recording back into the tx6 through usb, and you would have control over levels and effects for each of the 4 op1 tracks? so then the advantage to this over doing different levels of each of the 4 layers directly in the op1 is both that you can add and take away effects at will for each stem, and also modify the mix infinitely into the future because you have a multitrack file that can always be adjusted later on?
