Teenage Engineering Oplab
Product no: 9000-0015-1599 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Teenage Engineering Oplab enables nearly any electronic musical instrument to communicate with your music software. You'll no longer need separate boxes for MIDI, CV (Controlled Voltage) and USB, as this musical experiment board provides you with all the connectors you need to interconnect your gear.

Oplab: controller or slave

The Oplab is equipped with two standared USB host ports and a mini USB port, which means you can use any mobile device or computer that transmits MIDI via USB (or an audio signal) as a controller or slave. With the 2 x 12-bit switchable digital inputs and outputs you're able to connect more than just synthesizers, but also LEDs or sensors, for instance - all in sync with the music or controlled by MIDI data from a sequencer.

Eek, a mouse!

One of the main goals during the development of the Teenage Engineering Oplab was to create a device that allows you to interconnect all the 'toys' you have so they can interact with your electronic musical instruments. Take a computer mouse, for instance - who hasn't got one lying around? Connect it to your Oplab, and suddenly it becomes a full-fledged pitch bender!

Roland Boutique - a New Rumour about Synthesizers

Tuesday 15 September 2015

The rumour mill is back! It's time for speculation, and this time, it's about the new Roland Boutique! Roland has us going before with their sneak preview of the Aira machines, and that all turned out well. But now, let's sit back and enjoy some good old-fashioned guesswork!

Roland Presents Boutique Synthesizers

Thursday 1 October 2015

From a rumour to a leak, and from a leak to a formal announcement: Roland finally presents the Boutique Series! A few weeks ago, there was some speculation about the new Roland Boutique synthesizers. This time, we've got something more concrete: the JP-08, JU-06, JX-03 and the K-25m, because that's what they're called!

Novation Circuit: What Is It Exactly?

Thursday 1 October 2015

Is it a controller? Is it a synthesizer? Is it a drum machine? No, it's the Novation Circuit! This new groovebox looks a lot like Novation's studio controllers, such as the Launchpad, but it's much more than that...

Dave Smith Instruments Announces Sequential Prophet 6 Desktop Module

Friday 23 October 2015

This version of Dave Smith Instruments's Sequential Prophet 6 is a synth-module that is nearly identical to the Sequential Prophet 6 keyboard version, but without the actual keyboard. However, this is certainly not just some dressed-down version. Read on to find out why!

NAMM 2016: Korg Minilogue Analogue Synthesizer

Monday 11 January 2016

Another rumour is rapidly spreading throughout the synthesizer community! This time, the stories are about a new synth called the Korg Minilogue - a clever play on words, combining the terms 'mini' and 'analogue.' Both in looks and sound, this promises to be a great little synth!

NAMM 2016: Casio MZ-X: A New MZ-2000?

Monday 11 January 2016

The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.

NAMM 2016: Back to the '80s with Electro Harmonix

Tuesday 12 January 2016

Late last year, Electro Harmonix introduced the Crash Pad Analog Drum Synth, and at NAMM 2016 they'll be unleashing the Super Space Drum. Where the Crash Pad creates electronic cymbal sounds, the Space Drum generates a typically '80s drum sound - electronic yet warm and full of character. It can be used as either a standalone unit, or in combination with a looper or clock generator, for instance.
