Discover the latest evolution of portable synthesis with the OP–1 Field by Teenage Engineering. This newly engineered synthesizer builds on over a decade of technological progression, offering advancements that have been meticulously tailored to the needs of today’s audio professionals.
Rich Sonic Possibilities, Compact Form
From Legacy to Contemporary: The OP-1 Field’s heritage is undeniable, yet it’s also enriched with features synonymous with modern-day advancements. Dive into a synthesis world boasting stereo throughout its entire signal chain, USB type-C compatibility, and Bluetooth MIDI capabilities.
Crystal Clear Visuals: An all-glass, flush, high-resolution display has been seamlessly integrated. Enhanced by carefully redefined graphics, the clarity of visual feedback enhances both functionality and user experience.
Broadcast Your Sound: An intriguing inclusion is the FM broadcasting feature, further extending the OP-1 Field’s capabilities beyond traditional synthesizer functions.
Sound Engine & Sampling Reimagined
Masterful Sampling: The new stereo sample engine is a hallmark of the OP-1 Field. Longer sampling times of up to 20 seconds, combined with a dual-layer mode, permit instantaneous mixing of A and B channels or modulation via an LFO.
Choose Your Recording Style: Introducing four distinct recording formats: Studio 4-Track, Vintage 4-Track, Porta, and Disc Mini. Each presents unique characteristics and aesthetics, ensuring variety in your production process. And with the capability to switch between up to 8 tapes or discs, creative freedom knows no bounds.
A Design Thoughtfully Crafted
Sleek, Yet Functional: While retaining the original OP-1’s recognisable silhouette, the Field version is redefined. A subtly lowered aluminium body around the keyboard enhances its tactile feel, resulting in a lighter, more refined touch. The integration of a dual 2.4 GHz antenna system, encapsulated within the aluminium, speaks volumes of its craftsmanship.
Comfort in Every Touch: The reverse showcases two soft velcro rings, ideal for securing covers or even mounting the OP-1 Field onto larger instruments. Enhanced auditory experience comes from an additional passive loudspeaker, while a warm, soft touch cover envelopes the body, ensuring comfort during extended use.
