- Teenage Engineering introduces Oplab musical prototyping platform
After finally getting the OP-1 up for order last January, Teenage Engineering is getting its second product to market — Oplab. The latest offering is meant to compliment its slick synth, but we can see plenty people falling in love with it on its own. The Oplab is a tinker kit and DIY platform, akin to Arduino or Microsoft’s .NET Gadgeteer, but designed explicitly for generating and manipulating sound. The main board, which retails for $299, is home to a trio of USB ports (two of them hosts), three MIDI connections (one in, one out and one sync) and a pair of CV in and CV out jacks. There’s also a bank of switches for changing settings and a host of connectors for plugging in various sensors. The Swedish company is offering a number of add-ons for $49 apiece: an accelerometer (Flip), a piezo microphone (Tap) and a pressure sensor (Poke). Strangely enough, there’s also a $149 a sneaker that has a rubber pouch that you can slip one of the aforementioned sensors into. Hit up the source link for more details and to order yours now.

- KDJ-One: the Game Boy of music making is real(ly coming, in a bit) (video)
Cyberstep sent our hearts aflutter-ish at last year’s NAMM with its prototype KDJ-One, a Game Boy with gigantism that held a portable digital audio workstation inside. Now, twelve months later, the company’s pulled the dust sheets from a version that’s ready for prime-time. Inside its roomy bowels you’ll find a 1.0GHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB SSD and a 5-inch WVGA (800 x 400) touchscreen that’ll let you control that piano-roll score editor. There’s also 15 chunky rubber LED-lit keys, a Jog dial, D-Pad and a rumble pack so you really know when you’ve got a poppin’ choon going. You’ll be able to pre-order the vanilla kit for $800, but for $830 you’ll also find WiFi baked inside, in either Game Boy White or Black’n’Red — but be warned, orders are said to be fulfilled within six months. After the break we’ve got some new footage of the unit being put through its paces, which at no point shows it being used to play Super Mario Bros, shame.
