Full Description

OP-XY Synthesizer

Dynamic sequencing for creative control

The OP-XY’s step sequencer provides unmatched control over your tracks, blending precision with creative flexibility. The step-based system allows you to build compositions like layers, giving you total control over timing, texture, and tension. Add variation and energy with punch-in FX, which enable real-time manipulation of sequences, transforming standard loops into dynamic soundscapes. With the ability to adjust and fine-tune each element in your sequence, this feature gives you everything you need to construct intricate arrangements, exactly the way you want.

Using these flexible sequencing tools, you can build and twist your tracks, achieving exactly the sound and feel you intend.

Advanced multi-sampling for richer sounds

The OP-XY’s innovative multi-sampler enhances your music production by allowing you to draw from multiple sample zones simultaneously. This feature means you can blend different samples on the fly, giving each performance or recording session added complexity and depth. Perfect for live settings, this multi-zone sampling brings a new level of texture and richness to your music. It’s also an ideal tool for studio work, letting you stack samples to craft unique tones and rhythms.

This sampling capability lets you effortlessly shape and layer sounds, bringing more dimension to your compositions without needing additional equipment.

Comprehensive connectivity for streamlined setups

The OP-XY’s multi-out port offers robust connectivity options, allowing you to hook up multiple devices and outputs seamlessly. Designed to be the hub of your studio setup, it can control drum machines, Eurorack modules, synthesizers, and pedals from one central interface.

Each of the four available outputs is adaptable, letting you easily switch between different sound sources and devices without missing a beat. This level of connectivity frees you from the usual cable entanglements, so you can focus on creativity instead of technical setups. It’s a streamlined solution for integrating all your gear, giving you fluid control over your entire studio setup.

Motion-based control for expressive performances

The OP-XY brings a fresh, intuitive way to manipulate your tracks using a built-in gyroscope. This feature enables you to control track elements through simple movements, making it ideal for live performances. Want to bring a track in or out on the fly? A quick tilt of the device will do it. This gyroscopic function puts real-time adjustments at your fingertips, adding another layer of expression and freedom during shows or jam sessions. Using motion control to perform adjustments provides an interactive and hands-on approach, making your live sets truly dynamic and engaging.

LCD display and built-in speaker

The Pocket Operator features a sharp and easy-to-read LCD display, which gives you information on all your controls and parameters on the Pocket Operator, allowing you to easily monitor and change any controls. Underneath the LCD display, Teenage Engineering have incorporated an integral speaker for added convenience, allowing you to create and listen to your sounds and sequences on the fly.

Streamlined Design

The ‘stripped-back’ design of the Pocket Operator is designed for maximum cost efficiency and low power consumption. The open-style design means the Pocket Operators cost less to produce and are a lot more affordable for the consumer. The sensitive components and circuitry are hidden behind the LCD display, protecting against outside interference and eliminating the need for an outer case.

High-quality onboard sounds and effects

The Pocket Operator features multiple real synthesizer engines for exceptional audio quality and harmonic qualities, allowing you to manipulate and edit the sounds on the fly. You can quickly manipulate the sounds you trigger with the ‘A’ and ‘B’ rotary knobs, which control pitch and modulation as well as other parameters. You can also punch-in effects whenever you feel the need to, while playing sequences or sounds. Everything from delays to bit crushers and filters will keep your sound bank fresh even after extensive use. The Pocket Operator also features a 16-step sequencer with 16 patterns for added versatility, allowing you to create loops and sequences on the fly.

Daisy-chain multiple PO units

One of the most unique and versatile features of the Pocket Operator is the ability to link multiple units together, all while syncing them to play in unison. This opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to expand your sounds and performances to a near-infinite amount. The units feature two separate inputs for daisy-chaining multiple units and for connecting your external speakers.

Built-in alarm clock

As an added bonus, the Pocket Operator also features an internal alarm clock which operates via the digital time display on the LCD screen. This alarm clock will wake you up at any time you set it, giving you a personal alarm clock as well as a fun mini synthesizer unit.
