Teenage Engineering's OP-1

The Swedish House Mafia have just released their official music video for their big tune "One (Your Name)" that features Pharrell Williams. That's all great and all, the tune is massive, but more interestingly though is that the video is essentially a 4 minute commercial for the upcoming, unreleased Teenage Engineering OP-1, a synthesizer/MIDI-controller that touts wireless syncing, a 'tape' feature, and more.

Check out this awesome synth and the music video after the jump.

It's no surprise to see the OP-1 in the House Mafia's new video due to it's color LCD screen with a stylish interface display (in arpeggio mode numbers flash on the screen), diminutive size, sleek iconography for the buttons, and almost toy-like colors. However, a toy is the last thing it is. Previews show it's a strong instrument, built with USB connection, wireless sync, audio out, several audio channels, drag and drop functionality for sampling audio files, and more. Teenage Engineering showcased the little dude at NAMM recently, and have been slugging away at making it better recently announcing the 'tape' feature.

The Tape feature (shown above) is a recreation of recording to tape built-into the synth itself. So you have some DAW basics built in already to this bad-boy. The OP-1 has twelve minutes of recording time in normal tape speed and 4 tracks for you to showcase your genius on.

To see the OP-1 featured in a music video already should be a sign that the hardware is almost ready to hit the market. Check out the OP-1 on the Teenage Engineering website, and pick up Swedish House Mafia's new record here.
