The OP-XY is a dynamic performance sequencer, synthesizer, and sampler inspired by dance music subcultures around the world. Teenage Engineering describes it as a revolutionary device, focused on creating raw, hard, and deliberate music.

Here are some of its key features:
- Step Sequencing: The heart of the OP-XY’s workflow is step sequencing, which balances precision with creative swing. You can stack compositions like building blocks, then add complexity with punch-in effects.
- Connectivity: The OP-XY offers comprehensive connectivity, allowing you to control the entire studio. It features a powerful multi-output port that lets you switch between four different outputs to control your Eurorack, drum machines, synthesizers, and effects pedals.
- Live Performance: The OP-XY is designed for live performance. It features a new multi-sampler, powerful synth engines, geometric visuals and a punch-in effects library. It also includes a “gyroscope” that lets you turn tracks on and off by simply moving the device.
- Design: The OP-XY features a matte black anodized aluminum finish, giving it a sleek and professional look. Its slim and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around. It also features a dual-processor system for lightning-fast performance.

Experience the lightning-fast sequencing workflow. Punch-in FX™ lets you add quick, unique, live variations, and adding individual step components creates extra dimension and deep rhythmic patterns. Randomize timing, velocity, and pitch, or use live automation to tweak filters. Use Brain™ to create chord progressions, generating tracks that reinvent themselves. Literally.

Run through each track, independently, at different speeds and lengths to form powerful polyrhythms. Create new sequences every time with step components, variations that can be added to any step in the sequencer, controlling everything from pitch shifting to bending, skipping, or even multiplying steps.

The 2Vrms main output drives any audio system, loudly. Keep everything locked, synced, and sequenced with the multi-out, and take control with midi-in. process and sample external audio with audio-in. control, record and charge with audio/midi host via usb-c, plus a full wireless experience with midi via bluetooth.

Compose your album, go to the gig, plug and play right away, then keep it all locked down with all the i/o you could ask for. 16-hour battery-powered freedom lets you play for hours. Create, produce and perform anywhere.
