A new synth from Teenage Engineering ? The PO-12
Robert Pluma has shared some interesting photos from last week’s Moogfest, including some shots of what appears to be a new Teenage Engineering synth, the PO-12.
“I wasn’t taking notes so I would suggest confirming details with TE, but from what I recall it … has a spring-loaded stand which doubles as a pitch bender when pressure is applied, includes 23 switches and two knobs (not sure if they’re rotary encoders or potentiometers), and has a built-in hang tab for retail display.”
Additional details:
- Teenage Engineering had intended to give these away at Moogfest, but all but the one seen in the photos were delayed by customs
- Integrated hang-tag says ‘moogfest special’ on this unit, and presumably on giveaway units
- Employs a Silicon Labs EFM32 [32-bit ARM microcontroller]
- Labels on tactile switches: ‘sound’, ‘pattern’, ‘bpm’, numbers ’1-16′, ‘clear’, ‘FX’, ‘play’, ‘write’
- Labels on knobs: ‘A’, ‘B’
- Other labeling on board: ‘HIP-HOP’, ‘DISCO’, ‘TECHNO’ (looks like they’re selectable options next to tiny surface-mount LEDs)
- Appears to have a bpm LED
- Has 1/8″ input/output jacks
- Not sure of exact dimensions, but appears to be the same size as the area to the left of the screen on the OP-1
- Retail price will be (I think they said) $49 US
- Uncertain of this [detail], but I think it was an initial run of 200 for Moogfest
Response from the TE team:
“Robert more or less nailed it regarding the details for this product, but we’re not going to confirm or deny anything at this point. The image at CDM is official… We’re looking forward to keeping you in the loop as the project takes shape.”

OP-1 “DSynth” Beta Preview – Post NAMM 2014 Demo
Background video description:
I wrote a major explanation for this video but YouTube dumped it somehow. Must have been my error. I discuss much of what I wrote in the video, but one thing must be made clear. This is an in-development OS version and all content is subject to change. The new engine is shaping up rather nicely and since I was not able to make a video at NAMM due to the volume of interested people in the booth I made this. I do hope you enjoy?
I-OP, DO-U? Still on the fence? Grab one of these amazing machines. You’ll thank me later.
Let’s discuss in the comments. Thanks to TE for being awesome!

Teenage Engineering OP-1, Korg Volca Keys and EMW Modular Synthesizer
Op-1 connected to an iMac and sending MIDI for Volca Keys and EMW Modular Synth with Ableton Live. Endless sequencer is a lot of fun, Volca Keys is a great partner for the op-1 and the little EMW Modular sounds awesome.
