Market Conditions in terms of ai/chip pricing is not the problem. The chips they need are relatively cheap in comparison, not made at the same nodes, they barely have any storage/ram in their devices anyway (8gb storage and 512gb ram on the 2000€ opxy, when basic 2-300€ phones have 64/128gb storage and 3-4gb ram).
The screens they use also dont rely on the comonents ai eats up like monitors and tvs do to some degrees.
Does it have 0 inpact? No. The bigger factor is, that the music device market is somewhat flodded, more alternatives came up, so its harder to set themselves apart for the price, and the general economic situation leads to people having less money to spend on expensive gear/toys if its not their profession.
They did also make the PO modular (maybe you included that in the PO range)

Maybe they filed with the FCC a bit too early, and the short-term confidentiality period expired before the official announcement, making the external photos and other documents publicly available.

my guess is $349! especially if current EP grooveboxes are selling at $329.
but who knows? it might be cheaper than that. i certainly don’t think it will go past $399.
does not look super cool looking though from this image…not TE style to be honest, they have done better IMO

I’m just guessing that you’re going to be happy with the ob4. Looks like different use cases and my real guess is that OB4 is not only going to cost more, but it’s gonna sound better too.

I wonder if the oversized pegs let it fit Lego Diplo the way the EP series fits legos.
