Teenage Engineering

New additions to the cheap and compact synths. The PO-20 Arcade is loaded with chiptune sounds, the PO-24 Office uses samples from old hardware such as typewriters and fax machines, and the PO-28 Robot has a real 8-bit synth with separate melody and drum channels.

Teenage Engineering and Cheap Monday’s pint-sized synthesizers – a drum machine, a bass synth and a lead synth – are bare bones boards. They run on 2 AAA batteries and have 3.5mm line-in and line-out.

Teenage Engineering’s take on the Carlsson Cube is now available for pre-order. The OD-11 keeps the original’s bass reflex design and adds mobile remote control, streaming from your device or from cloud music services and more.

From the makers of the OP-1 comes the “world’s first cloud speaker”, the OD-11. Based on Stig Carlsson’s classic design, it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and has an easy-to-use wireless remote.

Available late 2010, Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 is a synth, sampler, and controller all-in-one with FM radio, accelerometer, AMOLED display, scissor switch keys, and aluminum unibody.
