Ten years of OP-1

Also, for that much cash, I'd expect something bigger (therefore better interaction unless you have tiny hands) and more robust physically.

The size is arguably the OP-1's "killer feature." It's closest competitors in terms of capability (meaning music-specific devices, not like an iPad or something) are all _way_ bigger and less portable. It's also one of the most solidly built pieces of tech I've handled.

Granted I've not held the actual device. But it just doesn't look like something that would survive being taken to gigs.

The base casing is milled out of an aluminum block. It's quite robust. Alessandro Cortini toured with one with NIN on the Tension tour.

I guess I was stuck with appearances - it just "looks" like a toy - compared to my Seaboard and Lynnstrument anyway.
