Design & Playability

The OP-XY features a sleek anodised black aluminium body, matching the dimensions of the OP-1 Field. It weighs around 0.9 kg and measures approx. 288 × 102 × 29 mm.
Its minimalist yet tactile layout includes a 24-key mini-keyboard, 68 ultra-low profile mechanical buttons, four grayscale encoders and a high-resolution display (480 × 222 px).
The inclusion of a six-axis IMU accelerometer and gyroscope means you can modulate sound via tilt/motion in live performance—bringing “3D motion control” into your synth workflow.

Sampling / Performance / Features

The OP-XY packs a seriously advanced feature set: eight instrument tracks, 64-step length (up to 64 bars), nine patterns per track, 99 scenes and song mode.
It supports three types of sampler (drum sampler, multi-sampler, synth sampler) plus eight unique synth engines, giving you enormous sound design flexibility.
Performance features include “Brain™” intelligent chord progression, punch-in FX, parameter locks, and an extremely capable sequencer with step components (14 different components) for deep rhythmic modulation.
Connectivity is rich: USB-C audio/MIDI host & device, Bluetooth LE MIDI, multi-out jack for CV/MIDI/Audio/Sync, stereo line-out, line-in, MIDI-in, built-in mic and speaker.

Sound & FX

Sound engine features include 24-voice multitimbral synthesis, multiple filter types, multieffects (reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, lo-fi, phaser) and master EQ, saturator, compressor & limiter.
With built-in speaker, you can use OP-XY as a standalone device. It also supports microtonal tuning and high resolution sequencer timing (1920 PPQN) for precision in live and studio use.Connectivity

OP-XY is built for modern workflows: USB-C (audio/MIDI, host/device, charging), multiples I/O (3.5 mm multi-out, MIDI in, stereo line-in/out), Bluetooth LE MIDI and CV/MIDI/sync on the multi-out jack. It supports external gear integration—synths, modular, drum machines etc.
