Teenage Engineering OP-1 : any tips?

[K9 Kai Niggemann]

There is a midi interface you can use for USB devices with the small plug to interface with other gear, sans computer. I think it's by Kenton. I have it on my computer, will look it up later if you can't find it.

As I sat in the airport waiting for my (looooong-ass) ride home from the UK I had a lot of fun sampling BBC world news and making my own odd concoctions .. this is a near-infinite source of wonderful sound-making for me, so on that basis alone it might be a keeper.  Not sure yet, it has to survive a few band jams first I suppose ..
