The Teenage Engineering OP-XY synthesiser workstation is notoriously pricey at a hefty $2,300, but we’ve seen a way you can get it for less via zZounds.

First introduced in November last year, the OP-XY is the successor to the Swedish brand’s OP-Z synth, described as an “all-in-one powerful synthesiser and composer with deep, direct sequencing capabilities”. It takes the advanced sequencing of the OP-Z and places it in a smaller enclosure, more similar to the brand’s OP-1.

Although a sophisticated synth, its high price puts it out of reach for many music makers. We even compiled a guide to all the things you could buy for the same price or less – including all nine of Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operators, an OP-1, an OP-Z, and an EP-133 K.O II for less than the sum of the mighty OP-XY.  Still, the OP-XY is beloved by many — it’s even received praise from Azealia Banks, who said she was “obsessed” with it in an Instagram post.

If you’ve been holding out for a deal on the OP-XY, now’s the time. You can currently grab one for less via zZound’s open-box buyer’s option — these are listed only as like-new or in very good condition, so they make a perfect option if you want to get your hands on one, and you’re not bothered by cosmetics or packaging.

The OP-XY is available for $2,061 in like-new condition via zZounds, meaning only its packaging has been compromised. You can get it for even less at $1,944 in very good condition, which may have small scratches or scuffs – though still inclusive of all parts, the manual, and a full factory warranty.
