About Teenage Engineering

Teenage Engineering manufacture unique synthesizers and electronic equipment. Formed in Stockholm in 2005, Teenage has become a distinctive brand, known for designing instruments that utilize a retro Casio-esque aesthetic to promote fun with sound and music.

Teenage Engineering's first product was the OP-1, a sampling synthesizer sequencer which features a fun graphical interface that is as equally well thought out as it is bonkers. OP-1 features multiple synth engines, sequencing styles, effects, and drum sounds and is capable of sampling. All performances can be captured to the 4 track digital tape machine for playback and remixing. The OP-1 is regarded as one of the most distinctive synthesizers of the 21st century and has been endorsed by Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode and Chvrches.
