Teenage Engineer’s OP-1 Box synthesizer/groovebox/thingamajig simply were given a slightly considerable device replace. Instrument model 1.5.0 brings a amusing new impact to the device and a long-requested characteristic.
First up, there’s a brand new impact referred to as Terminal. It is a bit crusher, in spite of everything bringing distortion to the synthesizer. The OP-1 Box and its lower-powered sibling have all the time been identified for a stellar results lineup, however those tools have by no means had slightly crusher or any possible way so as to add colour by the use of distortion. As an avid participant, I will’t inform you the choice of occasions I’ve had to make use of workarounds to faux overdrive and distortion.
It seems to be easy sufficient to perform, with a classy that calls to thoughts an outdated PC. You will have to be capable of use this instrument for delicate distortion and all-out audio mangling. Like every OP-1 results, there are 4 parameters to mess around with.
The replace additionally brings a miles more uncomplicated approach to leap, or merge, tracks. Teenage Engineering’s calling it “tape merge drop” and the instrument features a shortcut that routinely combines all the audio from copied tracks into one monitor, so you’ll be able to drop it down and proceed development out a track. It’s worthwhile to all the time leap tracks at the OP-1 and Box, however it required some menu diving and much more time.
Teenage Engineering has all the time been just right about supporting the OP-1 line. It dropped a vocoder for the Box previous this yr and launched more than one device updates for the unique OP-1 within the fresh previous, and that factor got here out in 2011. Obama wasn’t even in his 2nd time period but.
The corporate has had a hectic month or so. It set track tools web ablaze with the wonder release of the EP-133 sampler and did the complete opposite with no matter that is. The brand new OP-1 Box replace is to be had now.
