It’s a sampler-based synthesizer, and I honestly think it’s the most important instrument that’s come into my life since I first picked up a guitar when I was 12 years old. I’m not exaggerating at all. I never leave the house without it. I don’t travel with the guitar anymore. I travel with just my OP-1. It’s been a big deal living with this thing. I love making music with it. I love traveling with it. I like using it as a writing extension. It’s a really special technology, essentially what a guitar is to me."

Mark Hoppus in his blog tell about his amazing portable synthesizer

«A lot of people look at the OP-1 and say it’s a toy, that it’s too expensive or that it’s the Swedish House Mafia synth because they had it in their video. You could say it’s a toy but it’s a useful and good toy. You can do serious stuff with it. It’s not the kind of tool which you’d use to make an entire track, but if you use it for something like a synth line you come up with totally different ideas»

"This is one of my favourite things in the world – the OP-1 from Teenage Engineering. I’ve used it for years on all my records. And I’ve used it live, and when I was touring with Dirty Projectors. If you look on YouTube, there’s a cover Dirty Projectors did of Usher’s ‘Climax’ for Triple J’s Like A Version series, and I’m using it there. You can do so much with this thing. There’s, like, 8 different synthesizer engines, a ton of different sampling drum machines, a 4-track sequencer, you can sample the radio… It’s just awesome. It’s my favorite piece of outboard gear."

7th on Andrew's list of essentials for the home studio. On the OP-1, he says, "This beautifully designed all-in-one synthesizing + sampling + performing + recording device is the most inspiring little tool I've ever worked with. It provides endless sonic possibilities, but also limits you to the kind of workflow that forces you to focus on making musical choices rather than technical ones. Even when you have to do something boring like cut and paste a loop for 16 bars, the shiny graphics and satisfying push-buttons keep you excited to work."
