Cheers for the review mate. I don't think my Mrs will be overjoyed at me laying the OP-1 across her ass crack to knock out bangerz, but you never know! :lol:

I've read all about the noise issues, so it's good that they seem to have got on top of the problem. If I get one and I couldn't live with it I'd send it straight back. Other than that, I totally get the idea of using it as a unique musical ideas generator rather than for producing complete tracks. That's fine with me. 8)

That's the way it goes sometimes.

definitely I guess my expectations were different, I still love to buy one again but not at the current prices. Maybe £300, its fun but wasn't intergral and it didn't do nothing that I miss.

No problem man. If you get one I hope it's noise free and you have a blast with it. :-D

The radio is a nice little feature because you can sample directly from it and also use it as a mod source for the LFO. 8)

I finally pulled the trigger on an OP-1 last night. It's used, so if I don't get on with it I should be able to flip it for the same money.

The bank holiday weekend has screwed up the delivery times, but I should have it within a week. :-D

I was just about to say "I don't buy gear based on colour"... then noticed my blue 4K, my blue Minipod speakers, my blue SP-12, my blue Spectral Audio Neptune 2... in my blue room. :Sigh: :lol:

.....first thing i did with my brandnew mpc2000 back then, paintin' it black....
got no black room, though...

but i heard it's way more grey than that white on pictures....
and this gear is pure luxury, hey....so colour is an issue....
but with grey....
hmmm....i could live with grey....
