No, OP was correct. Although the pocket operators are good at their price points.

OP-Z - a downgraded version of the OP-1 that assumed its price point

TX-6 - a $700 mixer that is too small for human fingers…

OB-4 - A $700 bluetooth speaker with a loop pedal in it for some reason

OP-Z and OP–1 are completely different use cases, in fact in many ways the OP-Z is more powerful that the OP-1. The video aspects of the OP-z coupled with the way it's put together from a mixing perspective make it perfect for live multimedia shows. The OP-1 is an amazing deck for making and producing full tracks. They're different tools.

Per the sibling comment, the OP-Z's sequencer workflow is nothing like the OP-1's tape. It's literally comparing a multitrack MIDI sequencer to a 4-track audio tape recorder.

Cool. Let me know when the undo feature lands, that'll be worth the $1300

I like the idea of the Computer-1[1] too, even if it's kind of overpriced.

Note that they co-made that. Afaik the idea is mostly from panic, though iirc teenage engineering thought up the crank.
