And, after ten years at the top, it finally has a successor.
MOJO-P-1
First, lets see why the original OP-1 is so revered.
Its features are pedestrian, if comprehensive.

And a virtual four-track tape recorder.
But the magic is in the way this is all put together.
Teenage Engineerings genius is its UI design, and the OP-1 demonstrates this over and over.

Each of these features interacts with the others yet never seems complex.
It is always utterly intuitive.
Hold it down to keep recording.
you could also record from the radio or set an audio effect controlled by the built-in gyroscope.
Or modulate an effect by tapping your finger on the mic.
So why did TE make a new one?
The Same, Only More
The quirkiness of the original OP-1 comes from its low-fi nature.
And connection-wise, the OP-1 is best used alone.
It adds Bluetooth, and it can now send and receive FM radio.
And it adds Velcro donuts (never change, OP-1!
and a passive bass speaker on the back.
But the best new feature is that it hasnt changed much.
The button layout and functionality are the same.
TE didnt mess with the best.
Not everyone is happy, though.
