I'm an avid iPad user, and what you describe should, to me, sound like a dream come true. But somehow, it sounds like innocence lost.
I’d love if you could say connect the PO-12 and OP-1 to the OPlab and there was some secret handshake that made the work together in s special way or something, but I’m happy with OPlab as an interface for my iPad and OP-1.
I am not happy with the way Oplab is at the moment…
I think it is broken, or unfinished, and it needs their attention badly!
i hope they find sime time between designing new products, to finish a product they sell tgat simpky does not do what it is supposed to do…
Something I thought of that would be a nice new product from TE.We all know that the OP-1 has restrictions of processor and memory etc.Well, imagine of TE brought out software on say the iPad and made a dock that both the OP-1 and the iPad plugged into ... the App on the iPad brought a whole new load of synths and machines into the mix, all with the same colour-coded knobs on-screen that allowed the OP-1 to be the hands-on controller still for everything.
OR you connect the ipad to the OP-1 with an audio cable, just saying 
“but I’m happy with OPlab as an interface for my iPad and OP-1.”
Please elaborate. I have asked this before but nobody responded. I hear people complain about the lack of an OPlab update and still not doing everything it was marketed for. I too use ios heavily for music. I currently use a powered USB for syncing both ipads and an i/o dock for sound input on one only one ipad. So would i benefit from an OPLab if i don’t have any hard synths or modulars? Thanks @virtual_flannel

Yup all those things are true, it really needs an upgrade, especially the Midi out bug needs to be fixed. I don’t think it necessarily does anything you can’t already do the way it is right now.
the last Oplab firmware update is from 2012, and I was told a year ago that a fix was in the “upcoming revision” whenever that’s supposed to be. Basically if you plug something into the MIDI In DIN, the Out DIN stops working.
I had a crazy dream that I saw a sneak peak of one of the developers computer screens and on the bottom of the screen was 3 new screenshots of the op-1, wavetable synth, vocoder fx and the 3rd I couldnt quite see…but it looked good! Hope it’s true!
And all the bugs fixed and more midi improvements.
Plus more than 1 modulation source, like 2 - 4 LFOS per synth 
3 weeks to go!
And
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
I’m so exited for this new thing/NAMM!!! Here’s a few more brief guesses from the flyer:
Anyone seen the extended teaser pic?
Make sure you click on the picture!
@adh82 The little man made me think of Nintendo Game & Watch: http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Ball
My only thought, which I think is an extremely likely possibility, is that they’re gonna give the PO-12 a game-and-watch inspired GUI.
That’s totally something TE would do…
And is that guy giving the devil horns/rock out gesture?
I think it is the metal horns, and I don’t think it’s Game & Watch - I think they’d be more original.
Did anyone click on the picture and see the other symbols?
The square wave is interesting, wasn’t that the propellor?
the synth symbol suggests a new synth engine?
The man is maybe a game?
The dots might be a new sequencer or saving?
The bubble blower is still there…
The star/asterisk is maybe saving presets sequencers?
Who knows… But it better be a. Op-1 update!!!
With bug fixes AND new additions:)
Maybe it’s OP-2 - new processor, more capabilities, new hardware…
Don’t even!!! I just got my op-1
That’d be sorta lame if they spent time implementing another game for the op-1 instead of implementing, you know, musical things for it…
obligatory- i like choplifter.
Hmmm, Maybe a PO-11, PO-12, and PO-13??? 11=Synth 13=Sampler we know 12 is drum. That would be fun!
As a sound module for percussive and glitch drums are the PO-12 amazing. Probably they make some sort of case in typical TE style (video game inspired in pocket size). Maybe they release a few of them with different cases.
