## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does the price keep going up? It was $899 a month and a half back. Then it went to $999 and now it's $1099 since last week???**
A: Teenage engineering announced in 2018 they were going to stop producing the OP-1, which was priced at $799, which caused prices to go crazy because people still wanted one but they were going to soon be unavailable. After a bit of craziness, Teenage engineering announced that they would re-start production, but it took a bit to get production back up and running and when the OP-1 was relaunched, it was at its higher price point of $1,299.  Other than the short time it was out of production, the OP-1 has been in production since 2011. Whether its worth it or not is up to you, but the OP-1 remains extremely popular in 2020.

**Q: How easy and fast do you get to get tha hang out of the OP-1 and start making music? 
This will be my firth synthesizer.**
A: I'd spend some time watching the videos at the OP-1 website: http://www.teenageengineering.com/products/op-1/videos. They'll give you a good feel for what it's like to use it and what's possible. But I don't think it's hard to start making music at all.

**Q: Can you apply more than one filter at a time (both on master and on the synth)?**
A: You cannot. You can have a mixer and a synth filter active, but cannot have multiple filters active on one module. You can work around this by recording what you like with one filter to tape, sampling it, and adding another filter on top of that sample. Not the greatest solution but it does work.

**Q: Anyone recommend a charger that will work for the OP-1 (besides a laptop)?**
A: don't use the laptop charger or you will be sorry. check teenage engineering for charger specs.
