Ableton Move vs OP-XY by Teenage Engineering

Two of the most talked about compact music-making devices go head to head: Ableton Move vs Teenage Engineering OP-XY. In this video I make a beat on each one, walk through how they feel to use in a real creative workflow, and give my honest opinion on which I'd keep if I could only pick one. Both devices have passionate communities and very different philosophies. The Move lives inside the Ableton ecosystem with a familiar workflow(to me); the OP-XY is a standalone powerhouse with a completely unique approach to sequencing and sound design. I break down where each one shines and where each falls short. If you're trying to decide between these two, or just curious how they compare in practice... This is the video for you!
