This is cool but what the fuck is that price

This is really cool. I love Teenage Engin-- TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS????

Looks great and sounds good. At that price tag though? I'd feel safer investing in fabergé eggs

I think this thing would be a lot cooler if it was a standalone mixer. That way it'd do one thing well rather than multiple things ehh. For what reasons would you need synths and a sequencer in your $1200 mixer? I don't understand the appeal..

$1200??? Are you fucking insane??1!

When you use pocket operators instead of pocket calculators to set the price of your products 😂

Was really excited until I saw the price tag. TE has this weird divide between ridiculously priced products and fairly cheap products. I was hoping initially this would fall within the Pocket Operator range of prices... but alas.

Cant wait for all the for pay review shills who get it for free to tell us how wonderful it is.

This thing is sooooo sick! It’s obviously not for everyone, but I love that TE is innovating and challenging the idea of what a “mixer” should be. They could have easily launched a well-designed portable mixer, but why? That’s such a crowded and boring space to be in. I’m excited to see how people use this and what they’re able to create.

A great miss, TE. Beautiful but the synth part is pitiful. FREE ADVICE: Put there a GRANULAR SYNTH that you can control with the sliders changing the position and density of the grains. Of course, cut the price. And hire me, or someone else who HAS EARS and knows about MUSIC!

... 1000+ euros for a microscopic musical toy ? ... I'm curious to see its destiny ...

Ya all just cracked your head at 1200 bucks. HAHAHAHAHAHHA

this is already a meme

What is this, a mixer for ants?

Will this work to sync op-1 op-z and pocket operators? If not then, why exist?

Does it have onboard storage memory and if yes, is there a chance we might see a future firmware update to include audio recording (something like the OP1 album track) ?- even if it's just to cover one/two songs. Multi track recording would be fantastic, but mix out will also be useful... portability being a key factor with the product, this would make a lot of sense to record my pocket operators/op1 on the sofa... tethering an ipad or a recorded on the end of it will kill the portability element for me... if it doesn't have it's own memory, then perhaps a USB stick might be possible?

200$ more expensive than the syntack elecktron just dropped

TO always create such desirable objects, and I have a few of them, but this one is extra pricey! And I don’t see much mileage in the “synth” and “sequencer” features. Looks like they just threw in some PO features to try to justify that price tag.

This is nuts but most people want to use this as a mixer/effects box, and for that this is 3x too expensive

I love op-z and i really want to love this, but i can't and frankly don't want to afford this. Mixer should be a mixer and maybe an EQ. A thing like a groovebox can and should have all the bleepy-bloopies. There are already 2 great grooveboxes and ton of PO's in TE lineup. Besides, there are already dirt-cheap 4in1out 3.5 TRS mixers, and despite being passive they work rather well.

The heck is wrong with these guys, the price on this is so unnecessary. I hope Behringer will come take a look at this.

What in tarnation. When just seeing the product, I didn't realize how *tiny* it is.

Does it REALLY have to be that small?

Super sad to see that this is the way teenage engineering is going to proceed. Too hip and too expensive for their own good. Fair well guys it was fun while it lasted. 🙏🏽

Nice! The TX6 is fantastic and the synth drum engine is a bonus.

The Teenage Engineering brand now looks like Apple meets Bang & Olufsen.

Ridiculous price tag! Good luck with this

1200 dollars? That's insane!

Can you use the synth and the drum machine when you are in mixer mode with external inputs?

Any plans for a dedicated iOS app for multitrack recording? This would turn it into a powerful interface as well.

Can it sync to Pocket operator, Op-z, Op-1? Would be good if audio input had beat detection and sync your connected OP's tracks.

can't wait to see synth reviewers talk about this. it seems really cool but that is quite a price tag.

Six stereo channels and outstanding miniature design. Very impressive. And quite unique. I’d probably get an SSL big six before this though because of the sound quality and versatility of per channel outputs.

I am super curious how much it cost to produce one of these things.

OP-2 Please. Something with OP-1’s great build quality and sounds with some the OP-Z’s workflow/performance flexibility.

Do you have an implant in your hand? Like rfid?

Initial react: Finally, a mini-mixer+multi I/O audio interface for my 3.5mm musical gadgets. Then, after recovering from the price shock: Why do I need a synth+sequencer inside the mixer for my Synths+Sequencers?!?! oooooooh wait, I get it now!!! I'll actually need the synth+seq feature after selling the OP-1+PO-32+NTS-1+RPi2+iPad2+smartphone to buy this TX-6 :D

Absolutely love! ❤

Love my OP-1, it’s my favorite musical toy I’ve ever bought and was worth every penny but man oh man this is expensive and I can’t decide if it’s worth it in the same way. Real cool though.

Is it possible to split a pocket operator stereo audio/sync signal using this mixer and send out just the sync via the cue/aux outs to another pocket operator which feeds its audio to another mixer channel? This way we can capture 2 synced pocket operator audio signals in the unit.. perhaps the TX6 has it's own sync signal that it can feed to pocket operators from one it's channels considering it already has a sequencer built in? These are the kind of additional TE features that i'd like to see to somehow justify the cost, otherwise once we stick an iPad on the end of it we can get all the features with a cheaper interface like TC Helicon Blender and software: high quality eq, effects, routing, synths etc

Wonder if you can use the built in effects on the Tone drone mode.

There are plenty of audio interfaces in this price range. So why are people triggered by the price tag on this one?

I might be in the minority but I like the inclusion of the drum sounds and especially the drone synth! In a firmware update I'd love the inclusion of a 909 style ride cymbal. That would be so useful for live techno sets

Looks cool, but no way I can justify $1200.

im sold. lol hey guys when are you coming back to manhattan? that small operations podcast felt like forever ago!

DJ Tweezers here to squeeze some juice out of those faders!

1200$ 🧐 for this ? No thanks ..i got my akai mpc one the whole studio in one for 750$ 😇

ill wait for the tx-7

They must know that no one will buy this, right? I just bought an opz and it was one of the best purchases I ever made, but this price tag is insane

I don't mind the price tag for that aluminium body and leather backing. Hot diggity. And the size! Mercy!

Looks ace, loved the pocket operators so I'm intrigued

I think you would sell a lot of these in this basic form factor, and at this price, if you aimed to make it work extremely well as a control surface for a "DAW on the run", and having great software integration with the control protocols (and LED indicators on the encoders and motorized faders would further help that role.) Editing music on a DAW on a laptop has real problems with the UI, and your beautifully crafted little box could make that experience much better, ANYWHERE, even on the sofa, and even on an airplane.... Having the built in synths would make the whole thing even more attractive, and being able to plug in my ipad. phone, and a microphone as sound sources would be just amazing in so small a box on the tray table of the plane, as a sophisticated "sketch pad" for musical ideas. I think a lot of people would be interested in something like that, especially something that was of premium build quality like this appears to be. You could potentially bring it with you to work in other people's studio's too - kind of like bringing your own preferred keyboard and mouse. (I think it is too small, limited and "menu divey" to work as good portable recording setup for live performances (phantom power?), I'm better off buying a dedicated multitrack recorder, or digital mixer/recorder, or just get a typical multitrack interface, and use my portable computer/ipad, especially since these can be cheaper. )

This thing is absolutely awesome but it is outrageously expensive. Come on now

Didn't realise how ridiculously small this is until I saw the hands!

I am speechless 😶

are we gonna talk about the rfid implant?

I love the pocket operators and have made albums using them. a mini mixer with built-in recording would have been cool

2 copies of omnisphere or a field mixer, let me know guys

Looks good

Nice little features but for only $100 more you can have an OP-1.

To be onset I would consider buying it if you could plug a midi keyboard (over the 3.5mm jack) into the TX-6 to play live. 🎹

I just got my TX-6 and I freaking love it. This is why God made credit cards. Anyway I hope this isn’t too personal but what is going on with your hand? Is that a freaky fashion thing or

I'd love to see a DJ performance based around this

and then people complained about the Roland Boutiques for their small faders lol

This is absurdly overpriced, even for TE. A small form factor 6 track mixer? Cool. Built-in synth and sequencer...? The appeal is lost on me. Still curious to see it in action but after my experience with the OP-Z and its inexcusably shameful build quality at a $500 price tag TE isn't getting any more of my money any time soon.

This could be great for live shows. Blue box is great but just adding the necessary audio interface and bluetooth not to mention the build.

White noise isn’t a waveform? What?

This case on pocket operators please and thank you.

I'm sorry how much?

They will reply to your comments/questions and if you dont just complain about the price every time... Im very intrigued to see how this holds up in about 5 years, bare in mind the other product they have at this price .. i think this is more of an iceburg product thats a lot more complex than it seems on the surface

Possibly seem endless in such a tiny form factor.

This product it's a work of art, great balance between functionality and design. I think that the price it's "Apple like", you buy the general experience not only the functionality.

It needs something like the Alligator FX that has Reason.... At this point it should also has ext sync, and beat detection to internal clock... and yes, people will start eating diodes instead of olives...

how come the entire last minute of this £1199 synth demo just sounds like someone leaning their elbow on a £2 car boot sale casio keyboard? :D

1199€? :)

Imagine the banker's face when I come in and request a 1.2k loan for a pocket size drum machine synthesizer thingy.

oh god, this one took me off guard

great

looks cool!! yet can't afford. I was considering to buy OP-1 once yet I didn't because most of things in there are already available in most DAWs. DAWLESS wise I go for eurorack world.. that's already making my wallet empty

immediate yes.

My reaction to this mixer summarised: 😂

Still laughing here. Looking forward to awesome Mr cuckoo trying to sell this to me!!! He managed on the volca keys and circuit. Let´s see how he does on my malable gas suffering brain. 1199€. Lmfao.

I wish teenage engineering would create a Pocket Operator Hub that had MIDI in, 5x mini jack in, 5x mini jack sync signal out, mini jack headphone out, proper jack out, a mini 8 button keyboard with low velocity, 8 buttons with high velocity, MIDI sync out and a way to select tempo and swing. All at a price somewhere from $80 to $130. Bonus points if one could attach wires to the back side of the pocket operators and control them over MIDI somehow. Would something along these lines be possible to create at that price point?

Wow.😳

I got a boss bx 8 mixer

$1200 is actually a very fair price considering what you get. You are getting a high-quality mixer, interface, effects box, synth + more. AND ITS BATTERY POWERED AND PORTABLE. Buying a decent mixer + a TWELVE CHANNEL audio interface alone would easily cost you much much more than $1200… plus, those items take up a lot of desk real estate. That goes for all of their products. They cram so much in a tight space without it feeling cumbersome/ hard to understand. If this this sounds great, it will be a game changer.

Abs. ridiculous ..TE is a designing company NOT a specialsed audio manufacturer . I wouldn't be suprised the signal path is inferior , just like their dsp algo's on the op-1 ..which were pretty undery daft

Is this a late April fool's joke?

JOKE at TX-6 £ 1 199, i could buy a ipad pro that would eat this alive

I'm a big fan of y'all and love your hardware but the price on this thing is waaaay too high.

Will look great along side my £800 speaker! Mental pricing once again

2:25 - It's so small his fingers don't fit!

This price tag must be a joke

Does it come with a free magnifying glass to see that screen? I mean...I know TAE has a fetish for small things, this is just too much. It sacrifices too much in usability in exchange for being pocket sized.

TE is the Apple of music devices. Here's another device I didn't know I needed in my life. Now I have to sell a kidney to get one.

Well priced bit of kit.

They obviously didn’t even consider looking at the combined price and function of the black and blue 1010’s when they came up with their price point. Disconnected. Must be purely a niche aesthetic power play. Let’s see if the market will weed this out. If not, then we know where the market is obscured and look away into a different direction. In this case, what they don’t know can’t hurt you. Pretend they don’t exist and not engage at all with this particular product. TE will get the message eventually.

If only this had a screen with op1 style tape recording and editing except with 6 stereo tracks

twice as big and two thirds of the price would have been alright.
