Teenage Engineering's New TP-7 & CM-15! | Superbooth 2023

[@vinylarchaeologist]

These are beautiful, and it looks like they‘re also well-engineered devices. I don‘t care about the price because I‘m not going to buy them. But I wish more companies would design things that are as appealing as these.

[@FretchGaming]

Great design doesn't has to be ridiculously overpriced so that only a tiny percent of us can afford it.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

@@FretchGaming Agree. That‘s why I hope more companies will put more thought into design.

[@ntro9347]

@@vinylarchaeologist not at the cost of function. As a musician control is everything, not some endless race towards minimalism.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

@@ntro9347 Fair enough. But sometimes one company needs to exaggerate in order for another company to find the right balance. And I don‘t see the market oversaturated with well-designed digital recorders that also contain moving parts. Hopefully somebody else will come along with a better idea, but somebody has to do the first step.

[@IanHague]

@@FretchGaming Great engineering usually is overpriced until it can be reproduced in large volumes. Its called the "S" cruve.

[@damonluvisi]

You can see the passion. Since I don’t really do audio engineering for work anymore, their products can really feed the love and hobby side of that. Super premium but damn these look amazing.

[@DarkTrapStudio]

People got to understand, this is engineers adult toys, some like Lambos, for me I crave more about that.

[@chadxp]

I hope when Tobias said that the the Field line is complete, I hope he just means the small form factor audio devices. We really need an OPZ Field.

[@therapcave]

Honestly, I think these devices are awesome. This will pave the way for other companies that will make it cheaper. I can't afford it but if I could, I would buy it just to try it. If you want it to be cheaper then make one and sell it for cheaper.

[@fabianobe]

cool! will the mic work with Logic Pro in the Ipad?

[@davidpope5457]

I think the potential for the TP-7 to be the world's smallest turntable has been overlooked. I just hope that it will be possible to have dual (or more) layering capabilities so that you could use one of these devices to mix tunes with (rather than needing two TP-7s). I would buy one if this was an option. Denon have done it with their SC series of turntables, so over to you TE!

[@almightyEsquilax]

Can you record tape loops on the TP-7??! Also can you mount a drive like the OP-1 field to it?

[@zombierepublican]

I’d love a shell version. I have zero need, I just love the design

[@kellymerrill5294]

3d print one. Probably took 15 minutes to come up with the case design. Rectangle, circle...done.

[@santiagomarcano6354]

Que gusto verte por aqui. Me gusto mucho tu serie sobre el op-z

[@beckysantmarc]

@@santiagomarcano6354 Ey Santiago!! Muchas gracias!!

[@UberSynth]

That tape is crazy but I’m wondering if the TX-6 can record onto a thumb drive, is there any need for the tape? I knew the spinning disc was taken from the OB-4 knob. It’s a great idea and design. I have the Op-1 field and it’s quality.

[@lopodyr]

My understanding from this demo is that with the TX-6, plugged via USB into the TP-7, you can record 12 tracks as independent recordings. TX-6 on its own records a stereo mixdown (2 channels) if I understand correctly.

[@Johnnyjawbone]

I bought a white TE mouse mat last week. £250 but it's worth it.

[@Magnus_Loov]

That transcription to text really isn't something new or special. You can do that with every Android Phone (and probably Iphone too). And you have it in your pocket anyway, so for that specific use case it doesn't bring anything better to the table. Heck, the newer Google Pixel phones have it built in to the system so you can instantly record from the lock screen and have it transcribed. In fact anything goes. Telephone calls, playing back any audio. Even a function when you phone an automatic answer service where you have to choose options form a menu. That menu is shown as text on the screen! And if you want quality recording on the phone, you can always use some adapter into the USB port where any kind of good mic/mic preamp can be connected. Or a really good blutooth version to keep it small.

[@JohnBomboy]

9:05 has anyone found those schematics he mentions? Because I can't find them anywhere.

[@derlio2086]

Pushing it too far opens up great possibilities, hey Uli how are you doing...? 😊

[@raise-project]

Like always, If you leave beaten paths and do things different you gonna have a bad time. I respect TE for what they do even If I´m not a customer of the field series. I think he explained it well enough.

[@sodiumlights]

Although I like them both, and totally applaud everything Tobias said, I live in the real world, a world of having bought four TE products which a wonderful...but are all very, very poorly produced. So that's certainly not a genius design company.

[@raise-project]

[@iixorb]

@4:15 - I think they should print three little ‘tape windows’ on there, so you can really appreciate the thing that’s spinning. Not unlike my KZbin logo actually (and coincidentally!)

[@LWmusik]

Cool ideas, but very poor execution. Ultimately, these are audio tools that are way behind almost any other audio tool on the market in terms of functionality and quality. They look cool, and that's about it

[@sodiumlights]

Beggars belief sometimes. Boss still produces their BR-80..dual mics, 8 track recorder (8years old?) Which fits in a shirt pocket. But no...TE are genius...haha...

[@Rr0gu3_5uture]

Teenage Engineering is basically a lifestyle brand for hip, urban rich kids, the Apple/Influencer generation, they're first and foremost a design company. It's a case of uber-cool minimalist aesthetics over functionality, kinda the perfect analogy for the shallow and dilettantish folks that these overpriced gadgets appeal to. In this day and age of rising income inequality and conspicuous consumption, it's no wonder people justifiably hate on this company. If you can't afford their stuff, it's because they don't want you to.

[@deadlinkofficialartst5592]

i see true

[@ntro9347]

I'd say that there are plenty of us that could afford their products but just don't want to deal with their overpriced controlsurfaces, tailormade for ants. In addition the price / performance ratio is way out of whack. The Mic can be replaced with a Neumann, the field mixer with a SSL desktop mixer and I'll take a Tascam recorder any day of the week over their TP-7

[@Rr0gu3_5uture]

​@@ntro9347 Teenage Engineering's price point for their goods has absolutely zero to do with functionality, it's an aspirational lifestyle brand. That's why people will pay £1599 for a TE field desk when an identical £70 one from Ikea is just as good.

[@rorz999]

Well I only paid £39 for the PO-24 Office, but besides the Pocket Operator line I agree. Especially the last few years where they've become a parody of themselves

[@ntro9347]

@@Rr0gu3_5uture there is absolutely zero reason why a lifestyle brand (Ikea is one of those as well) can't offer a high performing product or value for money. You could argue Moog is a lifestyle brand, yet they bring a whole lot more to the table. Apple might be expensive, but their products perform well and are generally fit for purpose. TE are marketing their products to the music community and not so much to the hipster tik-tok scene. They are simply taking the piss.

On your website, it is priced at 1299 pounds for the TP-7, which equate to around $2150 CAN ! 😂😂😂 I am listening to all of your videos, they are great. But I will pass this one. Asking $ $2150 CAN for this device is absurd, criminal, and frankly insulting from this company. Overhyped, overpriced. Any other company can come up with the same list of features, for less than half the price. Also, I have never heard press release for sales figures of their gear, no wonder! I am sure they are not selling a lot of stuff at the price they are selling them ! 😛😛😛

Strange, people are really upset about the prices as if TE are somehow bound by honor or by entitlement to make their obviously meticulously engineered and designed products cheaper to whatever they feel is right. If you don't feel the product is worth the cost - move on and vote with your wallets?

[@dankeplace]

no it's not abt people being upset abt the prices, it's abt the pricing being realistic. Being arrogant in a market place is one thing, especially when you 100% price gouge your market, taking the piss of a piece of furniture that costs maybe $50 to manufacture and sells for 30 times more is just a serious piss take. People are entitled to voice an opinion, especially when something absurdly like this company does what it does.

[@Nodde1991]

@@dankeplace look I understand the frustration, and The right to express your opinion, but my point still stands. Its still a premium, non essential product. Don't like the price? Buy something cheaper. Additionally, the people being outraged dont know anyrhing about the research time, personnel costs (who knows what they need to pay their engineers, designers and administrators in order for them to stay in the company) , Stockholm studio rental costs, and so on. Do you think it would be fair for people to complain that Picasso priced his paintings too expensively? What makes anything else any different?

[@dcpayne5264]

Yeah I hear you. I probably won’t buy this stuff as I’d rather buy other bits, but the level of engineering and manufacture is incredible and I’m happy they exist. The design is perfect, and not everything has to be super affordable. I have an OP1 and an OPz and think they make unique gear. The R&D, custom machining and tooling etc is very very expensive. I’d guess those units cost a few hundred euros to manufacture!

[@ntro9347]

@@dcpayne5264 I wouldn't fall for the TE propaganda that easily. Custom tooling is expensive, but it is not that expensive. A profit margin of anywhere between 500% up to 1500% is not common and it is certainly not good for the industry. They are entitled to charge whatever they like, while the community at large is entitled to see them for what they are.
