You are bidding on a mint, near-new Operator 1 (OP-1) from Teenage Engineering. There's no doubt that fantastic music has been created with these devices. While some don’t click with the OP-1, I'd ignore the hype (for and against) and instead, make up your own mind by watching the videos linked below. You'll understand what can be made entirely on the OP-1 and when finished, watch the videos from the beginning to see how the tracks were created and get a sense for how the unit works/functions. In 20mins you'll either dig the OP-1, or you won't - but at least you'll know.Videos:

When done, play the vids from the beginning to see how the unit works. I also recommend the fantastic user-to-user forums at Operator-1 .com - a great user community.Condition:This unit is in mint, near-new condition and was used outside the studio twice, but was transported in the official case (with the supplied rubber bands). Firmware:It’s been updated to the latest firmware (R 00218) and has no known issues.Reason for selling:This baby got me started with electronic music and is a fantastic creative tool, I'm genuinely sorry to see it go - it just seems to endlessly generate great sounding accidents that get the creative process started. Unit comes with:USB CableOriginal rubber bands to turn box into a travel caseAll OP-1 AccessoriesSoft case made by Teenage Engineering ($75 value)As a bonus, I've also thrown in a bunch of additional samples made by CuckooMusic for the OP-1 ($20 value) These are already pre-installed and ready to go!
