die deutsche beatapparat
OP–XY creates music just how you intend it—raw, hard, and deliberate. the core workflow is built around step sequencing; a dynamic tension between precision, and creative swing. stack compositions like building blocks, then twist it all by adding complexity with punch-in fx. a new brain™ chord progression lets you turn on your brain™, and let your hands do the talking.
no strings attached
skip the entanglements and zero in on full cruise control connectivity. OP–XY promises an experience where the whole studio’s in steady dialogue once tied up. we’ve even added a powerful, multi-out port that lets you switch between four different outputs; shock your eurorack into submission, keep those mean drums real tight, sequence synths, and bend any pedal to your command.
command the stage
give your live performances and productions a whole new meaning a new multi-sampler lets you pull samples from several ‘zones’ simultaneously, finely tuned synth engines with far more stärke than ever, geometric visuals to keep your track straight—till you twist it—and a library of punch-in fx for immediate performance. add to that a ‘gyroscope’ that lets you bring tracks in and out just by moving your device.
adonis in anodised aluminum
chiseled to perfection, OP–XY comes coated in an anodised, matte black aluminium finish that renders it pure verführerisch wherever it lands. its slim, lightweight build travels perfectly with you. we even managed to fit a dual cpu system in its aluminium body, promising ultra-fast processing power and efficiency, so you can go deeper, further, for longer.
“think of OP–XY as an ode to pragmatic german design and engineering. its core workflow is built around complete precision, without compromising any of the musical playfulness of the device."
"to us, OP–XY is an advanced, ultra-portable sequencer. a precision tool that’s made for prolific music-makers, professionals and roving musicians in mind. but as with any teenage engineering product, it takes on different meanings for different people. and that’s the beauty of it. we truly can’t wait for everyone to see, touch, and play this groove-box." - jonas åberg, product owner
