🤣🤣🤣

They are a luxury brand. They could charge twice this and people would still buy it.

well, you are not their target audience then

I'll stick with Mackie.

@@aons5481 you’re right, he’s not a complete dickhead

@@Ferrichrome Behringer tbh

Being selfish that's why

lmao

I was thinking around 500

That’s iPhone

It does seem expensive but you're completely bonkers if you think that product can be produced for 250

Thought you were kidding at first bruh

😂😂

The world of audio is vast and non exclusive to TE

Yup

Ditto! I know they winged it on the price. They have had many internal discussions and really thought of taking the leap this time. 700-800 dollars vs 1200 dollars. They went stratospheric. This can only be an impulse buy. Not a thought out one.

@@GiriGagan I have many qualms with it other than the price, but for $500 or less I could forgive all that!

@@GiriGagan Or maybe, just maybe, this is a social experiment. :)

@@Edouard16 everything is a social experiment these days, test what the people can take and keep pushing it...

Lol

Dream

Yes! Please do this teenage engineering! I am willing to pay for it. A metal op-z that's sturdy and please do something about the buttons. Make it work in a certain metallic click. I love the OP-Z. But it's always ding - ding instead of ding!

$1500 right there

Nailed it

Right?!? That price is shit. I’m out.

a bit mean about the hand. take it easy

you had me until the hand comment…

Well you can send all six signals into a daw on your smartphone. So it is a mixer and audio interface. I think that is where the use becomes more clear. You can basically have an amazing studio in a small bag. Hook in a guitar, a couple portable synths, a microphone. Do a live set while simultaneously recording each part separately into a smartphone daw (or something bigger if you are into that sort of thing). A long lasting battery to boot.

@@lemonrain2741 I'd actually much rather it be 3 or 4 times the size, with more usable knobs, a power switch that won't easily flip with normal handling, MIDI ports and typical 1/4" ins/outs. Preferably bus-powered as well. Then it miiiiiiiight conceivably be possibly closer in value to what they're asking.

@@KINGJADEX just curious, is this not bus powered? It has an internal battery. So I would assume you could also power it by usb. I think the 3.5 inputs make more sense for portable synths which might be what they were thinking, and of course allows it to be that much smaller and more portable. Hopefully this will inspire more fully portable mixers/interfaces from other companies. I have a Roland go mixerprox, which is fun and perfect for my ambitions. But I do think it is cool that TE is pushing the boundaries of portable and high quality. Not for everyone though.

It's not Teenage Engineering anymore, it's 50-year-old-multimillionaire-tech-bro Engineering

@@pigammon7843 nice one!

this quick release was no coincidence.

I’m probably buying both but this has a very different purpose than the syntakt and is also much, much smaller

@@matt-lang yeah, very different indeed, but comparable in the category of “cool musical devices released today by Sweedish makers.” in any case, smaller than the synktat and way cheaper than this thing is a Bastl Dude (and all other mini mixers). Only four channels? No stereo? Get two! Four! Six! Still cheaper and more interesting... And good luck to the buyers of this thing trying to sequence or control anything via MIDI with this tiny knobs, screen, and sliders. Really a beautiful gadget, but really poorly conceived.

@@WxkR this also has synth engines though. It’s not just a mixer. Still….too expensive.

@@bwest6275 is it engines? Or engine (singular)? In any case, that mini mixer UI does not appear helpful at all for controlling a synth.

Totally!!! And in the process they charge the customer for the Ye disaster

Slimmest fingers too!

and it will have 10x the functionality too.

and then you would still need a soundcard 😂

That price is the height of absurdity.

Cheap plastic?

I would say something. it will be nice if has a digital recorder and sd slot

1010 music bluebox has no interface functionality, but does have multitrack recording ot an SD-card, the same 6/12 channel mini-jack layout, is a mixer and is about 60% cheaper.

@@simondoes yeah I was looking to it. I will definitely go with the blue box for the price

Perhaps I would too. Does it have several synth engines or just one? In any case, I don't see myself controlling the synth engine(s) with that UI. Does this support controllers? It's kind of in the middle of everything but doing not much.

Looks like we’re the only ones …LMFAO 😂

JREDOU_KO! Btw ✊🏾

Stand strong fellas!!! 🤣✊🏻

Don’t forget to buy tweezers

FX I are send effects, independently available per channel. FX II are insert effects, available for 1 of the stereo channels or the mix bus. teenage.engineering/guides/tx-6#fx-buttons

@@teenageengineering how many of each available?

That’s in total in use at one time, not how many effects there are

I do like how you can use the cue for a external effects send

you can for example use garageband for this purpose as it’s free and supports multi-track recording.

I've got the op1 and 6 POs I expected around the £400 mark but this is insane! I love TE but this is too far, like you I'm loath to give this company anymore money unless they can justify the price

no.

Not really For $1200

Do you know about the M8 Tracker? Three synths, sampler. sequencer, effects, mixer. Small, aluminum box, touch screen, high quality mechanical key switches, and more for $550 (Released a year ago for $450). That is POWERFUL.

Please don't support this product. It seems really anti consumer with it's pricing.

Great u can be a little mixing engineer with this tiny mixer

Rams would never approve of this form over function. This is purely down to looks and marketing.

@@gkeaoyrge it looks like you already play with it. Tell us how it feels.

@@cristobalv I haven’t as I’m not stupid enough to spend over a grand on this. But from all the videos featuring the TX-6, users seem to find the knobs very fiddly and the screen much too small. Many people have also complained about the protruding power button. These seem like unnecessary functional compromises made for the sake of it looking a certain way that appeals to TE’s market. Each to their own of course, but certainly not for me.

@@gkeaoyrge In my opinion it's too early to tell, there's not even a user product review yet. I know the price it's a dealbreaker for many people. But TE it's an innovative company so it's obvious not everyone will be pleased when a new or different product come up. For example there is always people against the new Iphone saying the last one was better. You can have a real & honest opinion when you have used the product for at least 1 month.

LOL bye I thought maybe one would be $119 or maybe even $199 NOT $1199 lmaoooo elektron is cackling right now

Bingo.

You’re absolutely right. I don’t want to sound snobby, but I’m so sick of seeing every TE hardware Facebook group, Reddit page, etc. endlessly complaining about the price of their hardware. Everything is more expensive now, they can charge whatever they want, and nobody is under any obligation to buy it. If it does well, then the price was justified. If it doesn’t, it wasn’t. The end. I can’t imagine that any of the, say, Apple or Gucci or whatever fan groups are just a couple hundred people complaining about the prices.

dead on! well said.

You nailed it. I have basically been trying will this very product into existence for a looooong time. They make niche products for niche appeal. I bought it within minutes. The ONLY thing I wish is that it had recording built in, but let’s be real, if I’m using this I also have my ipad or iphone at arms length. i can finally have any mix of my roland boutique synths, my TE stuff, my roli and my ipad, phone etc in my slim messenger bag or backpack. I’m wanted this for so long. do i wish it was 500-600? sure, but i have not regretted a single TE purchase I’ve made and they put such attention into build quality. I’m stoked.

Would have just loved to see a built in recording option. I have a Sony recorder I use but I really just would love an all-in-one like the BlueBox for something as portable as this!

$1200

@@darkeye79 😂😭😂😭

I'm doubtful that people with a pocket operator budget will be buying a $1200 mixer to mix their audio signals

@@anthonyniedzwiecki33 you're not wrong there even with a sequencer and a synth it's not worth 1200

@@darkeye79 those things shouldn't even be built INTO a mixer, its a mixer... It appears TE abides by the "everything but the kitchen sink" approach as this release feels like a "jack of all trades, master of none". Even as a simple mixer I would get infuriated trying to twist those wee knobs with my sweaty fingers. So it really doesn't even get the mixer aspect right (for me). As an upside, its visual design is gorgeous

Finally someone that sees what this is for the price.

There are countless 3.5mm mixers for a 20th of this price.

@@Leo9ine whoooooooosh. Dude, I have the bastl (see what I did there?). I also have the Hart. Looked at a few others, and there is that new one from Mackie. None of those is even remotely this. Again, it’s all about the specific mix of variables creating the right feature set. This is just not gonna be for the peeps that want to play with stylos and volcas and altoid tin headphone amps and see it as a source of pride. The engineering going into this isn’t easy or it would have been done 20 times by now as companies realized the market trend towards portable gear. I mean… Just the cnc frame manufacturing process puts it over the cost of most of the ones we all know about. that doesn’t even get into the pots and slide mechanisms, etc that are all custom, per usual with TE. There are people that pay this much for a pair of headphones. Literally two speakers attached to a band and sitting on your head. only so many ways to make that shit and prices vary from $10 bucks up to frigging $10k. This has far more reason to be the price it is than nearly 90% of high end audio gear on the market, but here we are with the coupon clippers all mad about it, while simultaneously saying they can just go get the Bastl, etc… Enjoy what works for you. This doesn’t have to be that, it’s ok.

@@h0wdyh0lt0 I have paid 1200 for headphones and still wouldn't even consider buying this.

@David Holt thanks for sharing your experience when making your own. how far did you get? did you end up finish and use it? your perspective is appreciated, thanks.
