This is a great video. I can do what you did here pretty much with my eyes closed, but going forward from this point to a full arrangement is something that there are very few tutorials for. I did notice you have a separate video for arrangement, so will be checking that out next. Still, for the observant watcher, this video contains so many nuggets, like: - You appear to be pressing shift-loop(3) button to move the looping point. Valuable workflow tip that I didn't know about. - Your process of removing the drums and recording something else on that channel is a very valuable workflow tip. - You can then of course test out the drums, because you actually have five tracks on the op-1, the fifth being playing live. - I am interested in how you then go about merging the channels you want to merge. The op-1 would benefit greatly from some kind of selective merge where you can press track buttons from 1-4 and then lift (copy) to copy only those channels and then shift - paste to merge all the selected channels into one. Right now I guess if you have four channels and want to merge three, you need to copy paste each track individually forward on the tape, merge drop and then replace many channels with one. - The jam where you quickly unmute / mute channels to get small soundbites from an otherwise muted channel was a new idea to me. Excellent! - I have to know where the whistling synth preset is from :D You glossed over it like it's some trade secret.
Great beat! Has kind of an ethereal or ghostly vibe to it. Could imagine a cartoon of a ghost gliding through scenes as the video on MTV for this one :)
really love your videos. can you make a song arrangement tutorial on the op1-field. I don't have the ops and I am finding it hard to translate what you did in your song arrangement video with the opz to the op1.
You can't pan before recording to the tracks yet, no. There are workarounds like recording to 2 tracks, then panning those and resampling to a single track...but that is probably not what you are asking for. Also then mixing them after would involve more workarounds.
@@bjamminsincebirth3494 Sure, one has to of course be aware of its limitations. It's advertised as being a 4 track tape recorder and not an 8 track recorder. Yes, there are devices out there that do more for less money...there are also synths out there, that do less, for more money. different horses for different courses.
Thanks for your videos on the op-1 field! A quick question I’m confused about. When you are recording at 1:37 and again at 2:16, it looks like recording stops as soon as you lift your fingers from the keyboard. (Also, the “take” bar is blue while you are recording.) I’m curious how you are able to get it to stop recording as soon as you lift your fingers? I am unable to replicate that behavior on my op-1f.
The recording is not really stopping when I lift my fingers. It just seems that way, because of the cut in the video. The blue bar is interesting...might have been a bug in an older firmware ;)
Thanks…that must be one of the FM presets. Don’t know the name right now, but should be easy to find. Then just use a higher octave and you’re good to go!
another question: before you introduce/unmute the tracks at the end in your performance part, you press a white key on the keybed and then unmute. What does this do?
Hey! The drums are stock sounds I believe (filmed it a while ago). I use the white keys in this case to change drum sequences with the finger sequencer. Meaning my drums aren't recorded to tape. I've got 4 tape tracks + "live" drums this way.

What a killer OP-1F tutorial. Subscribed.
Thank you very much!
Appreciate the straightforward and clean walkthrough start to finish. Always love these vids!
Thanks, glad you are enjoying!

I just got myself the OP-1 and this video helped me a lot to understand some features etc. thanks for making this! Great videos I’m subscribing.
Thank you! I’m glad I could be of help
Thanks for sharing your beat making process! This sounds great 😊
Thank you, glad you like it!
Loving the videos
Thank you Henry! I also appreciate the ☕
Thanks for the Jam. Loved the layering!
Thanks !!
this was great! I need to learn all those tape commands. Love the live mix!
Thanks! Enjoy learning :)
Just got mine yesterday :) ... been really enjoying your videos.
Thanks, hope you enjoy it!
These videos keep me going until I can get one for myself, thanks for the hard work!
Thank you...good luck getting one!
Sounds amazing and love to see the workflow 😄
Thanks!
great work on this one!
Thanks man! Appreciate the support :)
damn! really nice man
Thanks, appreciate it!
Remind me some good Polo&Pan vibe ! Really like it thanks
Thanks…I gotta check them out I guess
@@SONWU let me know if you like them (french band)
Great beat! Has kind of an ethereal or ghostly vibe to it. Could imagine a cartoon of a ghost gliding through scenes as the video on MTV for this one :)
Haha....MTV, let's go. Certainly has the Nintendo ghost vibe, that's true :)
Very nice and smooth beat bro! ✌
Thanks for keep supporting 🙏🙏🙏🙏

+1
Thanks! It will happen at some point ;)
Great jam, nice atmosphere! Been meaning to try bouncing down all 4 tracks to one track and freeing up 3 tracks…
Thanks! It's really fun to use the drum sampler for bouncing....and making new patterns out of the material by chopping and applying more FX.
how do yo do this?
Those drums at 1:50 are amazing
Cheers
Wow was going to buy one till I saw the ticket price of 3299 AUD. Does the "P" stand for pretentious?
Could you pan chords to one side of the track and the melody to the other to be able to properly mix it later?
You can't pan before recording to the tracks yet, no. There are workarounds like recording to 2 tracks, then panning those and resampling to a single track...but that is probably not what you are asking for. Also then mixing them after would involve more workarounds.
@@SONWU 🙄
@@SONWU you would think $2000 would get you some basic features. Maybe they will add it later.

@@SONWU panning a track even on a 4 track is pretty common. Especially if it records in stereo
Yee!
AY!
God I need one of these
:D
Awesome as usual! Head over to op-forums and vote on the latest battle!
Thanks! DONE :)

Is this device always battery powered or can it be powered using the usb? thanks.
Yes, you can power it using usb as well. And in terms of battery, this is the longest lasting battery powered device I have ever used…it’s ridiculous!
Very cool, is that the string synth you get that whistle sound from at the end? How did you set that up?
Thanks…that must be one of the FM presets. Don’t know the name right now, but should be easy to find. Then just use a higher octave and you’re good to go!
I was trying to find a beat book that you’ve talked about. Can you remind me the name please?
Breakbeat Bible
Thank you!
OP1 Master....
:) thanks!
nice!! i learned some stuff again! what drum kit are you using here? factory one?

This thing is $AUD3299 - is it THAT amazing??
It all depends on your needs and preferences.
