Teenage Engineer\u2019s OP-1 Field synthesizer\/groovebox\/thingamajig<\/a> just got a fairly substantial system update. Software version 1.5.0 brings a fun new effect<\/a> to the instrument and a long-requested feature.<\/p>\n

First up, there\u2019s a new effect called Terminal. This is a bit crusher, finally bringing distortion to the synthesizer. The OP-1 Field and its lower-powered sibling have always been known for a stellar effects lineup, but these instruments have never had a bit crusher or any real way to add color via distortion. As an avid player, I can\u2019t tell you the number of times I\u2019ve had to use workarounds to fake overdrive and distortion.<\/p>\n

It looks simple enough to operate, with an aesthetic that calls to mind an old PC. You should be able to use this tool for gentle distortion and all-out audio mangling. Like all OP-1 effects, there are four parameters to fiddle with.<\/p>\n

The update also brings a much easier way to bounce, or merge, tracks. Teenage Engineering\u2019s calling it \u201ctape merge drop\u201d and the tool includes a shortcut that automatically combines all of the audio from copied tracks into one track, so you can drop it down and continue building out a song. You could always bounce tracks on the OP-1 and Field, but it required some menu diving and a lot more time.<\/p>\n

Teenage Engineering has always been good about supporting the OP-1 line. It dropped a vocoder for the Field earlier this year and released multiple system updates for the original OP-1 in the recent past, and that thing came out in 2011. Obama wasn\u2019t even in his second term yet.<\/p>\n

The company has had a busy month or so. It set music gear internet ablaze with the surprise launch of the EP-133 sampler<\/a> and did the exact opposite with whatever this is.<\/a> The new OP-1 Field update is available now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
