Teenage Engineering Choir Carlo Italy Baritone

Teenage Engineering's Choir Carlo Italy is a baritone vocal synthesiser that embodies the Swedish studio's signature approach to instrument design: playful yet purposeful. Standing 272 mm tall and weighing 1064 g, it's a compact desktop unit that produces singing formants across the baritone vocal range. Each unit features a unique wood grain pattern, making it both a functional tool and a cabinet piece. The Carlo slots into Teenage Engineering's broader ecosystem of creative tools, designed for producers and performers seeking characterful, unconventional sound sources.

The unit delivers 3–4 hours of continuous singing time and integrates seamlessly with MIDI controllers, the OP–1 field, OP–Z, and ortho remote for hands-on parameter control. Start/stop and volume adjustment are accessible via the ortho remote, allowing real–time performance manipulation without tethering to a screen. Dimensions are 130 × 130 × 272 mm, making it practical for studio shelves or live rigs where footprint matters. MIDI pairing enables the Carlo to function as a flexible synthesis module across existing setups, from bedroom production to stage use.
