I purchased my OP-1 at Rubber Monkey. They are hard to find, and even sell for almost RRP 2nd hand. With the OP-Z due to release in September 2017, the six year old OP-1 may well become a sought after collectors item. It’s a slick piece of kit.

Why we like:

  • Stunning example of timeless Swedish product design
  • Intuitive colour-coded interface
  • Incredible array of quality sound
  • Sampler, synth and multi-track recording all in one.
