Teenage Engineering OP-XY

A compact sequencer, synth and sampler built for fast ideas and deep pattern work.

OP–XY brings sequencing to the front. It pairs a 64 step grid with eight distinct synth engines and a capable sampler, all in a portable format that feels more like an instrument than a sketchpad.

At its core, this is a performance sequencer. You stack sounds across the grid, push patterns into variation, and reshape them in real time. The 24 key keyboard gives you direct, tactile control over pitch and harmony, while brain™ handles transposition duties so you can shift entire ideas without breaking their internal relationships. It keeps harmonic movement simple and playable.

The eight synth engines each respond differently under modulation and sequencing. Some lean percussive and tight, others open up into sustained tones and layered textures. Two send effects let you build shared spaces and motion across tracks without overcomplicating the mix. The built in speaker makes it easy to work anywhere, but the multi out port also lets you route one of four outputs to external gear when you want separation on stage or in the studio.

With space for thousands of projects and a 16 hour rechargeable battery, it supports long sessions without thinking about power or storage. USB C audio and MIDI host functionality lets it sit comfortably at the centre of a compact rig or act as a portable brain for other instruments.

It works as a standalone writing tool, a live performance sequencer, or the core of a hybrid setup. Small enough to carry daily, deep enough to build complete tracks.
