Teenage Engineering is at NAMM 2010 and appears to have made progress with the OP-1 (see video of demo at bottom of post). The OP-1 is a is billed as an “…all-in-one portable Synthesizer, Sampler and Controller. With additional features like the FM Radio and a G-Force sensor for pitch and bend effects.” The synth looks to have a stunning high-contrast display.
Some notable features:
- Built-in audio recorder
- The 8 Synthesizer engines: FM, strings, DRW, Pulse, T10m Cluster, PSE
- Built-in Mic
- Sampling
- 512 MB Nand Flash storage
Hardened design with expected lifespan of 10 million keystrokes per key, industrial grade incremental encoders, Zinc diecast and fiber enforced high performance plastic, aluminum body
MusicRadar posted a video from the NAMM Demo.
In the video above they estimate price between $500-$1,000 with a late 2010 or early 2011 delivery. So, start saving your pennies as this looks like a killer portable music workstation monster.

It sure looks sexy! Bit pricey though…
