Buy a Macbook Air, Logic Pro and a Mini Lab 3 and have hundreds left over. All while enjoying an infinitely more powerful stack.
Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but Teenage Engineering has had a series of very low quality, fault-prone gimmick devices that quickly end up forgotten in drawers. Hard to take this seriously.
from the guys who brought you a $1000USD bluetooth speaker, the $240 leather sack, and the always popular $50 tshirt comes, "we dont understand how western inflation works in the context of consumer confidence as it applies to discretionary spending as a function of income"
Good to know about OD-11. I like the OB-4 though it's not good value for the sound alone. Are you running OD-11 in multi channel mode? And are you flexing a $130k+ system?
x2 in stereo via optical, but a single 11 knocks an A4 out of the water, they're not kidding when they say carlsson sound, it is just that - OB-4 sounds fine but fell over and broke the dumb spinny volume knob thing 3rd day, back to TE and huge wait... never mind they're literally NOT FIXING KO-2s right now, refunds only, fuckin' TE.
Classic 2024 company. Started out with a few genuinely cool products and a quirky, fun attitude. Got popular, decided to exploit that good will and now everything they do seems greedy and inauthentic (regardless of whether any specific product is or not). Maybe this is a great product? But after the OP Field pricing shenanigans and OP-Z quality issues... hard to give them a second chance.
Yeah but then you have a laptop not a toy. Whole point of this is it's more fun and satisfying than using Logic. It's a lot less about the sound it makes than you think.
Well, the Altar keyboard has that TE vibe, I don't know if you've seen it.

Its also similar in how expensive it is :D
I remember attending a German language course in Berlin (25 years ago) with some other international students and this american kid who was railing against using die and der for objects that clearly had no gender: "what do you say?? die snowboard? der snowboard???" (it's das XD)
das is what non-german people think it's what should be, and that makes it the correct one. simulacrum/simulacra, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, etc
This is clearly inspired by the german band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and the electronic body music genre in general, which are widely known in Sweden. Has nothing to do with Trump.
There is a whole music scene in Sweden that uses german loan words and often purposefully incorrect german in their music, to make it sound better for the Swedish audience. See Sturm Café, Kommando XY, Tyskarna från Lund (literally The Germans from Lund) etc.
While they evoke the leather uniform Deutsche aesthetic, they are all anti-fascist btw. Kommando XY has a song called "Skinheads fuck off".
There is a whole political scene in the US that uses Sweden as an excuse to bash minorities, so they sound better for a MAGA audience. See Fox News, CNN, NYT, etc.
While they evoke fascism, they are actually fascists! CNN had a talking head on that said Trump might be bad!
