Excuse me while I go into tinfoil hat mode here.
The lamp post with the waveform forest behind it is obviously a hint pointing toward a op-1 field update
The car also has the word field written on it.

And the wheels are the tape reels - maybe a successor to the helicopter game on the OG OP-1? A Field Bus Tour mini-game?
Without going full tinfoil hat, itâs pretty obvious theyâre about to release their first car - the TE Minivan Field

you mean their SECOND car?

My guess is updates for several field devices. I take the mountains as a waveform and the post as slice point, so being able to select and chop/slice waveforms - which is the number one most requested feature for the op-xy. I am sure there will be op1 field updates as well.

Who would add slicing first. TE or Elektron?

Take the following with a major grain of salt, as it could be llm slop, but I just found this description of a possible update in an OP-1F Facebook group ( posted by someone who found it on Discord):
Trigger Mode Finger Sequencer
- Live pattern recording : Select a key, click blue encoder to arm âtrigger modeâ (blinking white box), and play notes in real-time. Your performance gets recorded to a sequence grid on any given key!
- Layer freely :
- Record run once (one-shot recording)
- Hold with blue+red encoders to loop and overdub on the selected sequence grid
- Click yellow to sustain current sequence while arming another pattern to engage the second monkey on drum or the nerd on synth.
- Chain patterns : Disable first sequence to add third/fourth parts while keeping others running much like performing w the sequences but this is a ay of building them up from scratch in a performative and uninterrupted way
Enhanced Pattern Sequencer
Move to any step, click blue to select among the notes (dots) up and down , they will blink when selected, hit yellow to delete specific notes on any given vertical bar
Per-Track Effects & 4-Band EQ
-
Individual FX per tape track (chorus, delay, reverb, etc.) â access via shift + color-coded encoders.
-
Split mids into Low/High bands for surgical EQ control (+ âClean Max EQâ button click red to engage!).
-FX ON TAPE in each individual track !
shift + blue encoder click to access tape fx menu where u see the color coded 1-2-3-4 relating to tracks and under it a box with an icon ( like the ko2 ones or just that classic TE icon design) that relates to an effect! > the mother head for the reverb- a spring - a computer for terminal and so on.
Browse the FX icons by rotating encoders
T1 blue , T2 yellow , T3 gray, T4 red.
Shift + rotating encoders while on tape FX menu page to adjust the mix of the effect applied on each individual track
Select fx by clicking the desired encoder to access that effect screen for tweaking. Click on the corresponding encoder to apply effect once the params are set. ! Now every mode ( synth, drum, tape, mixer) on the op1 has an fx stage for more fun!
Could be fake cause op1field encoder colors are blue, ochre, gray, and orange in the manual and if itâs real, then too bad we still canât send the 4 tracks to the tx6 mixer

Iâve always lusted after the TP-7. Reminds me of a very updated 4-track cassette recorder I used (Fostex X15) and how I would layer sounds and efx to create tracks. But realized, the 6-minute tape recorder in OP-1f does the same job almost. And probably even better with the cut, lift and efx.

As a fellow fan of the Fostex-X15, Iâve always wanted a T7 for the same reason. The Fostex was my first multi-tracker as a teen, I learned how to write and record full songs on that thing, although I was frustrated even then that it wasnât a fancy 48-track recording studio so perhaps frustrated (and clearly naive) fan would be more apropos. 
Iâd still like to try one out at some point though to see if it has that 4-track cassette vibe. But youâre right, the OP1f definitely can do that.

We are showing off our age! 
But yeah, so many nights (to wee hours) laying down the tracks, bouncing, and hitting the in/out cue points. And all that hiss and wobble of a cassette tape which I tried to avoid, nowadays, you find it in the OP-1f as a feature! How funny is that? I really wished I kept my X15.

I agree 100 percent. I just love the spinning disk though⌠

Iâd appreciate EQ and FX per tape track and new sequencer options on the OP-1f, but the descriptions you posted donât seem like something TE would be doing. Shift+clicking encoders to open up new menus would be a very awkward way for them to implement these functions.
My top wishes for new stuff on the OP-1f would mostly be relatively small improvements they could port over from the OP-XY:
â˘Shift+Synth/Drum to open up the patch settings menu, where things like velocity response, a simple high pass filter, mod wheel, pitch and velocity mod slots can be adjusted. This would also free up the velocity LFO for other modulation options.
â˘Encoder click on the Synth/Drum Envelope Page to select a second, freely routable envelope. The routing destination and amount could also be configured from the patch settings menu.
â˘Multisampler engine from the OP-XY would make so much sense on the OP-1f.
â˘Any kind of new FX or new synth engines.

Multisampler on OP-1f and Iâm set.

Like dual layer or split keyboard ? Both would be sweet.
