The Gravity Stand for OP-1 is a third-party accessory designed for the synthesizer OP-1 by Teenage Engineering. It not only enhances the usability of its sensor for sound control but also fosters a deeper emotional bond between the digital instrument and the user, elevating the value of the OP-1 from an electronic device to a well-crafted work.

Delicately handcrafted traditional instruments like violins or pianos tend to increase in value over time and reinforce a sentimental bond with their users. In contrast, most electronic instruments quickly become outdated and lose their value. The Gravity Stand addresses this issue by transforming the OP-1 into a crafted design piece. This allows users to perceive the OP-1 not just as an electronic device but as a valuable work of design, encouraging them to love and care for the instrument more deeply. This approach reflects a philosophy of building a sustainable and meaningful relationship between the user and the product.

A core function of the Gravity Stand is its mechanical tilting feature, which maximizes the usability of the OP-1's G-force sensor. This works through a sophisticated mechanical structure composed of springs and gears, allowing the stand to respond naturally when the user tilts the instrument. This interaction enables precise control over parameters such as pitch, volume, effects, and modulation by adjusting the angle of the synthesizer. Additionally, the stand is designed to automatically return to its original position when not in use, minimizing unintended sound changes. Through this intuitive and tactile interface, users experience heightened physical interaction and haptic feedback, making sound manipulation both seamless and enjoyable.
