Teenage Engineering
I was the Technical Editor for the user's guide to the award winning OP-1 synthesizer. Made by music innovators Teenage Engineering, the OP-1 is a handheld synth entirely in a league of its own. Dubbed “the perfect desert island synth” or ”the Delorean of synths”, it has appeared everywhere: on Kanye West records, in Letterman Late Show segments, in Swedish House Mafia’s “One” video.
For a synth which sparked a lot of praise the manual needed to translate the excitement into an improved technical document, become clearer and more accessible. I was tasked with the rewrite of the 1.2 version, which was able to explain several new and previously undocumented features, even as they evolved, while proof-reading and reformating made it into a more pleasant read and useful piece of documentation. A definite improvement for the landmark synth.
