synthesizers

Every year companies show up to NAMM with some amazing new gear and many upgrades to existing gear. I go to Skratchworx.com for all my info and just caught this clip of a new product. Its Teenage Engineering's OP-1. To the common person this is just another synthesizer but, to tech heads all over it is a look at how far things have come. With the functions of equipment that use to take up an entire production room, on top of "iphone-like" motion sensors, all put into what looks to be the size of a regular computer keyboard this thing is a tiny beast. A skilled musician could perform an enitre set on this thing. What really caught my eye is the little screen. Look how crystal clear that thing is! Ok, maybe thats not the most important feature but, its flippin' sweet. I'm particularly impressed that this is coming from a seemingly tiny company. Not Sony, not Akai or M-Audio. That should really say something about the possibilities of technology today. Ok, nerd rant over. Go on about your day.
