There's no denying the OP-1 looms large in the world of modern hardware synths. Everyone knows it, a lot of people have one despite the price tag. Its design aesthetic and portability have certainly been influential. How many people actually use it to make music? I have no idea, but it seems like a relatively controversial synth instrument when it comes to discussing its actual capabilities and usefulness (its successor, the OP-1F has done little to change that by doubling the price tag but not substantially changing its feature set). Personally I don't think I could ever got much done with it, but I could see myself at least having some fun with it.

Yeah, I hear ya. I also share your frustration with their decision to push the new Field series products even higher into the luxury goods stratosphere.
I want the TP-7 so badly (just for its looks and haptics) but the pricing is a joke
