Teenage Engineering Rumble Module

An Expansion Module Designed to Push the OP-Z Experience

The Rumble is the second expansion module dedicated to the Teenage Engineering OP-Z. It is based on principles of psychoacoustics and high-definition sensory feedback to transform your groovebox into an even more immersive instrument, as if you were holding a compact subwoofer in your hands. In the studio or on stage, it adds a physical dimension to rhythmic creation and bass programming.

For Whom and in What Uses

The Rumble module is aimed at OP-Z users, from curious beginners to experienced musicians, who want a more direct sensation of kicks and basslines. It is ideal for styles where the energy of the low end is essential (electro, techno, hip hop, bass music), but also for ambient and sound design when you seek fine control over the perception of the lower spectrum. In live settings, the silent metronome becomes a real asset for staying perfectly in time without polluting the mix.

Features and Innovations

Rumble acts as a haptic subwoofer: the vibration depends on the frequency and intensifies as the bass frequencies get lower. Its response range from 10 to 150 Hz is designed to maximize the sense of impact in the low end while limiting power consumption. Two switches allow you to adjust the intensity according to your grip, context (headphones, studio, stage), and the dynamics of your patterns. The silent metronome mode offers a tactile tempo reference, particularly useful in performance to keep timing without adding audible clicks.
