SONOIO featuring the Teenage Engineering synth in action
Teaser video of SONOIO’s new single called RED, and for synth fans you will see captures of the Teenage Engineering OP-1 synth in action.
Engineering’s OP-1 is something unique in music hardware. It’s got a form factor inspired by the Casio VL-Tone series – you know, those cute little 80s-vintage synths. It’s a sampler. It’s a synth. It has an FM radio. It will have a variety of sequencers. It has, we’ve just learned, a multi-track tape mode that lets you do beat-synced virtual splicing as a performance technique. It is expected to integrate and interoperate with a design lifestyle including, if you like, a luxury-priced, meticulously-machined desk lamp, and according to one rumor I heard, perhaps even a specially-designed electric bicycle. (Seriously.)

As reported the other the Teenage Engineering synth is now ready for pre-order and if you are still uncertain whether to buy or not, here are some clips to help you decide:
The OP-1 is here – was available for pre-order and sold out instantly. And watching this demo from NAMM 2011 you can see why. I want one and quite probably you do too.
The synth from the Swedish House Mafia video, the OP-1 is another piece of Swedish style. Now in production, its sold out, but there will be more coming as soon as they can make them.
