The sounds you can get from the OP-1 are great and inspiring

If this sounds like two alternative options, available to you depending on your creative needs at the time, this little wonder is for you

Getting the hang of the menus may take a few tries, but you will always be making fun creative sounds the whole time

The sounds and tracks you create will not sound good, I can guarantee that

The sounds are brilliant

This can be confirmed by playing the softer sounding preset when at "normal

The synth has multiple engines and requires you to work a bit harder to create sounds you like vs more traditional synths that have hundreds or sometimes thousands of sound preloaded with 10-20% sounding good right away

It is one of only 2 digital synths I own and the only digital synth I would recommend because of its wide range of application and phenomenal sound

They produce a great "low-fi" sound, if that is an aesthetic that you like.- Sampling / Line-In capabilities

The audio in is the best function in my opinion, once you record a sample, all your sounds are unlimited in design.

dosen't mean it isn't capable of creating some really insane and ethereal sounds
