Teenage Engineering’s OP-XY has a huge number of functions. | Photo by Terrence O’Brien / The Verge With elements from synthesizers, loopers, and effects pedals, Teenage Engineering’s devices lie somewhere between musical instrument and modern art. These grooveboxes, as they’re often called, are capable of **helping** you produce~~~~ songs in real time from a single unit, with an eye-catching design language. A wide swath of the brand’s offerings are 30 percent off at [Guitar Center](https://www.guitarcenter.com/Teenage-Engineering/) when you use code **TE30** , at****[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/stores/teenageengineering/page/2DAAEEAE-215D-4176-BD1B-D9A11516FF25) when you click the on-page coupon for whichever product you’re interested in, and B&H Photo (discount applied automatically at checkout). The terms for the Amazon coupon claim it will run through August 8th, 2026, while Guitar Center deal is listed as “limited time.” The **OP-XY** is one of the flagship units, which my colleague Terrence O'Brien described as a “greatest hits tour for Teenage Engineering.” Normally $2,299, the discount code brings the price down to a more palatable $1,609.30, which is a lot cheaper, but still pretty pricey for an aspiring musician. That said, it’s loaded with features for both production and live performance, and has a premium, durable build quality that reflects its price point. It’s currently sold out at Amazon, but in stock and discounted at [Guitar Center](https://www.guitarcenter.com/teenage-engineering/OP-XY-Portable-Synthesizer-1500000447897.gc) and [B&H Photo](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1856481-REG/teenage_engineering_te033as001_op_xy_dynamic_performance_sequencer.html).

It’s a bit less intimidating for a beginner than the OP-XY, both in terms of price point and features, and its**** tighter genre focus may help concentrate your efforts and onboarding. Normally $329, the EP-40 is $230.30 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/teenage-engineering-sampler-sequencer-handcrafted/dp/B0FXXQ88PV), [Guitar Center](https://www.guitarcenter.com/teenage-engineering/EP-40-riddim-Supertone-Original-Layering-Machine-1500000467630.gc), and [B&H Photo](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1918016-REG/teenage_engineering_te032as006_ep_40_riddim_sampler_composer.html/) during the promotion. ### Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim ### Where to Buy: * [ ~~$329~~ $230.3 at **Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/teenage-engineering-sampler-sequencer-handcrafted/dp/B0FXXQ88PV) * [ ~~$329~~ $230.3 at **Guitar Center**](https://www.guitarcenter.com/teenage-engineering/EP-40-riddim-Supertone-Original-Layering-Machine-1500000467630.gc)
