“In an interview with Lukas Mauve, published by Highsnobiety on October 7, 2026, Kouthoofd reveals that he told his team during a company reorganization last fall that he intends to stop making synthesizers altogether. And yes, that includes the iconic OP-1. Teenage Engineering even shared the interview on its official Instagram account, using the same headline.”
Quoted from Gearnews. I wonder if this is very synth specific (POs, OP1f, OP-X), or if the samplers, the TX-6, CM-15 etc. are on the chopping block as well? A total about face or just dropping the synths?
