Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 Field just got a nifty bit crusher effect

Teenage Engineer’s OP-1 Field synthesizer/groovebox/thingamajig just got a fairly substantial system update. Software version 1.5.0 brings a fun new effect to the instrument and a long-requested feature.First up, there’s 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…

At my school, the closing of the teenage mind is almost complete

My revelation came in the spring, after a typical day in 11th-grade AP English. The topic was gender and how the experiences of the authors we were studying related to our world today. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear anything I hadn’t heard many times before.Class discussions tend to go like that. We’ve been inculcated with approved positions on issues such as gender identity, patriarchy, cultural appropriation and microaggressions. Any perceived misstep can ruin a reputation in a flash.But then something unusual happened.…

Teenage Engineering’s New Gadgets Are Delightful

This year, Swedish electronics manufacturer Teenage Engineering launched two new devices: a microphone, the CM-15, and a digital tape recorder, the TP-7. If purchased together, they’ll run you almost $3,000. For many, it seems absurd to pay that much for products with features that come built into your iPhone — but they’re part of a radical mission. Teenage Engineering hasn’t given up on the idea that our devices should be cool, and if you can afford them, its products will bring you back to the era when buying new…

Webb Reveals “Teenage Galaxies” Are Unusually Hot, Glowing With Unexpected Elements

Astrophysicists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered that teenage galaxies, emerging within the first 2-3 billion years after the Big Bang, exhibit high temperatures and unexpected elements like nickel. This research, part of the CECILIA Survey, provides new insights into the early stages of galactic development.JWST unexpectedly reveals nickel and oxygen, which are typically difficult to observe.Similar to human teenagers, teenage galaxies are awkward, experience growth spurts and enjoy heavy metal —…

I’m trying so hard not to gush over Teenage Engineering’s latest gadget

Teenage Engineering’s new $300 groovebox has no business being this cute. That’s the whole point. The EP–133 K.O.II (we’ll just call it Knock Out II) is a combination drum machine, synthesizer and sampler. It’s a supersized upgrade to Teenage Engineer’s pint-sized PO-33 K.O, which offers many of the same features for a fraction of the price. The vibe of the Knock Out II is decidedly more 1980s drum computer than modern Roland groovebox. Its buttons, knobs and sole fader appear almost oversized…

Astronomers find unexpected elements in ‘teenage’ galaxies

Peering into the deep universe is like peering back through time. Distant galaxies appear as they did two to three billion years ago, and now, astronomers have detected heavier elements like nickel in “teenage” galaxies that existed within three billion years after the Big Bang. These distant galaxies are all part of the ongoing conundrum that is our glimpse at the early universe. While researchers have tried to use the observations of these ancient galaxies to learn more about the universe’s evolution, they…

Teenage Engineering’s EP-133 KO II synthesizer: price, features, and specs

The Swedish tech and design company Teenage Engineering is known for lots of things — helping create the look and feel of devices like the Playdate and the Nothing Phone, creating outrageously expensive voice recorders coveted by every reporter you know, building knobs and buttons better than anyone else — but above all it’s a music company. And it’s now launching its latest music device: the EP-133 KO II synthesizer. (The name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, so we’re going to call it the KO II.)The KO II is…
