There’s probably equal demand and units needed to meet that demand, right? About the same number of people making electronic music - who want a uniquely tactile experience - as there are people wanting to use iPads.

When did Teenage Engineering actually delivered a non-disapointing product ?
Ah yes, never ! 😁
@@pw6002 everyone agrees their products are amazing, just priced terribly. 90% of the reviews I have seen of the OG OP-1 or OP-Z where only positive. Only the price point being the big draw back.
You really need to go out if that vid from TE was "out there" to you
And you need to shut your dumb ass up
True tho, has he ever seen a cologne and haha
I think this is a strategy, making something so niche that only VIP music producers of fame can buy it, and so you can associate yourself as a brand with these VIP producers? or is this far fetched? ... sad tho
Yeah get a computer and put it in your backpack!
And DONT GET LAID.
i have to say i disagree with the demo catering to the more average user. i roll my eyes whenever i hear the same old same old in other gear demos. that said, you will not find me anywhere near the op-xy.
Being of Germanic heritage I feel I need this when it comes on down in price or I get a lot higher🙃
Synth Balenciaga
also i think dancerboi is kinda cute
Who’s their idea guy ……and where did they get this.
For the price of this should rather buy an iPad. What am I saying, depending on the model you can buy up to 5 iPads for this money…
There’s probably equal demand and units needed to meet that demand, right? About the same number of people making electronic music - who want a uniquely tactile experience - as there are people wanting to use iPads. So they could keep manufacturing costs about the same, have about the same revenue earned, etc. totally checks out as a comparison.
Another trick is to have balls. Balls of glass. Just like the rest of my audio gear it's cheap as fuck. My balls are like *maybe* worth $18.
good bussines...
