The Korena take

OP-1 field combines a portable synthesizer with a four-track stereo recorder in a compact, rechargeable format. Its internal speaker lets you work without external playback, while the headphone output, line connections, USB-C audio, and Bluetooth LE MIDI provide routes into a larger setup. Record loops, sequences, or complete tracks on multiple tape types, then shape material with sampling, sequencers, stereo effects, and motion control. The 24-hour battery supports long sessions away from a power outlet.
