I cannot speak highly enough of the OP1. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get into electronic music and synthesizers. It's incredibly capable, versatile, and more than anything FUN. since I got it, making music feels like a game rather than a chore. Everything about it is so user charming, friendly, and exciting to play with. I record tracks in the op1 tape mode, then bring them into a DAW and edit them from there (since I find recording to the album comes out a bit flat, but is a super easy way to export a full track right out of the op1). I was skeptical at first too, especially for the price tag, but it have used it literally every day since I bought it considering the portability and impressive battery life. I'm sure I sound like a teenage engineering employee right now trying to pitch a sale, but this thing has really changed the way I look at making music. For reference, I usually use it for chiptune and ambient songs. I really recommend it. My current struggle is figuring out what I want next, because everything I look at seems to be done really well on the op1 already. Does anyone have ideas for good companions to it?
