Teenage Engineering has introduced the OP-XY, a sequencer, synthesizer, and sampler designed for modern music creators and live performers. Inspired by underground dance culture, this ultra-portable device delivers a raw, deliberate, and highly expressive music-making experience.

A New Era of Sequencing

At the core of the OP-XY is its 64-step sequencer with 16 programmable tracks, allowing users to stack compositions and manipulate them in real-time using punch-in effects and step components. Its unique ‘brain’ chord progression feature enables seamless transitions between musical ideas without breaking creative flow.

Think of OP‑XY as an ode to pragmatic German design & engineering, built around complete precision without compromising any of the musical playfulness of the device.

Powerful Sound Design & Performance Capabilities

With eight synth engines, 24-voice polyphony, and two send effect slots, the OP-XY offers a rich and diverse sound palette. A built-in gyroscope lets users control tracks through movement, adding an interactive performance element.
