Teenage Engineering’s free Capcom OP-Z videopaks will turn you into a Street Fighting Mega Man
Play scenes from iconic video games in time with your music
Following the launch of its Street Fighter and Mega Man-themed Pocket Operators, Teenage Engineering has hooked up with Capcom once again to create a series of free videopaks for the OP-Z synth.
Available via the OP-Z app, these run in sync with your music, and can be controlled in realtime using the keyboard and dials on the OP-Z hardware.
The scenes are built from the ground up using original graphics from the games. You can fire your arm cannon, breakdance on rooftops and perform a perfect K.O!, all in time with the tempo of your song
And that’s about all there is to it: the OP-Z is available now priced at £529 and you can find out more on the Teenage Engineering website.

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
