Teenage Engineering OP-XY

If you look at the top left of each circle in the new teaser you will see a little notch. That looks a lot like a flip dot display!

They have a flip disc display in their office:

Seems Elektron will get my money in the end, when they manage to re-stock DNII.

Ah, so it’s just a touch surface for the OP-Z… That’s disappointing.

The flip dot thing is probably a red herring :fishing_pole_and_fish:

I want one, but those things are bloody expensive and hard to source.

…wat? How do you know?

Although it looks EXACTLY like that flip display, and it’s cool, I hope it’s not that.

  1. it’s slow
  2. it’s noise
  3. if you put that into a portable music device I guess it can easily break on shocks.

But who am I to know…

Yeah, I’ve researched it once, but it will cost you around 2/3k to build it yourself…

Yep. Sounds like TE indeed :smiley:

The teaser lights makes me think of the Ikea Frekfans LED light they released a few years ago

Maybe lights that you can control the x and y with opz?

I dont see the link to XY but Kraftwerk sounds likely to me.

@jeroen020 that is just fantastic.

No lights. It is a flip dot matrix.
