18:17 before playing over the track make sure you lift it up to copy it and then drop it back down and place it in a different section just in case you mess up due to no quantization. This is my favorite instrument that I have out of the hundreds lol
nice video thank you ... small tip brother, you don't need to hold the record button all the time just push shift+record, it arms the track and waits for you to play a note ...try it, I think it's much easier 😊✌
Hey man good question, but I don't think that is possible, although that is such a good idea, I there is a section on TE website that you can ask for new features it might not be possible for the op-1 but I'm sure they can build it for the op-1 field, just write your idea and submit it there
Such a GREAT tutorial. Thank you so much for doing this! It would be awesome if you could cover sampling workflows in both drums and synth modes. Regards from Vienna!
Love theses videos especially the bit about muting tracks. Also if you want to save samples you can hold down the preset number you sampled to for five seconds and it will save the sample to a snapshots folder in synths. Be cool to show this in a video
I actually use the weird bits in the back of the case. I took a strap from some other bag and I attach it to the loops on the long ends to turn it into a little carry on bag. And then sometimes I use the loops on the short ends to attach it directly to the back of my backpack!
I would compare working on the OP-1 to doing effects in-camera as opposed to using photoshop. Yeah, you have to do things on the spot, and often in real-time, but it leads to results that feel less sterile that when you use all the tools in a DAW. It's good to get out of the world of on-grid perfection sometimes. Thanks for the work, Jack.
Oh also, M1 and M2 can be used to store the master effects settings too - I generally have M1 set cut out the bass on the EQ, and M2 will control the send level to either the reverb or delay.

I love it, I want one so badly and I want the new one even more. But it’s a ridiculous price man. It just is. And the new one at 2 grand is absolutely disgusting. It doesn’t feel like paying a premium for an exclusive bit of gear made from diamonds, its overpriced because they can. It’s beautifully crafted and a powerful piece of equipment but whatever way you look at it they’re completely rinsing people and making it an elite toy very few can afford. Boo hiss boo. ✌🏻
@@qlyde Not sure it will be priced well. Look at the Keystep Pro: 449$. It is just a sequencer with only 4 tracks. No sound, a lot of bugs, no firmware updates…
Copy a track before you overdub on it incase you make a mistake, then you can just lift off the bad take and drop the old one on to try your overdub again, instead of having to re-record both parts again. why not just program an undo button with a shift feature.......

For me, the OP-1 is the closest thing to a modern day Emu SP-1200. Not just because of how it degrades and mangles sound through digital aliasing, but more importantly, in how it’s apparently frustrating limits force you to think and create in a way that a DAW can’t.

@@wurlinnawurl The OP-1 (OG) is 10 years old. I don't think releasing the Field after 10yrs ruins the resale value of anything. It also doesn't affect what I said above.

Will you make a comparison between OP1 and OP1 Field ? I m looking at this thing since years, and I m thinking of buying a second hand og OP1 to cut the expense to smth under 1000 euro
for people who are rich its definitely a nice thing to play around with. But if you dont have infintite money, i think 2000 bucks for this is just crazy. I costs more than my pc, smartphone, laptop, microphone, headphones and audiointerface together although it has the hardware qualities of only my smartphone (which was 300 bucks btw). I fell a bit sorry for all the teenage engeneering fanboys who have to defend that.
Amazingly explained brother! … And I love your “mindspeaks” where you will be like- OMG where is the undo button!

Hey 👋 I bought it many moons ago now and can’t find a link to it anywhere but on it says it’s a Six Channel Passive Stereo Mixer designed by Daren Ager with a brand name of Micro • Tech. I had a Google and nothing came up for me but there’s tons of ones out there I’m sure. Hope that helps and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
For real … it’s cool and all , I hade one … didn’t click with it, not deep, it’s a toy, not to say you can’t make cool stuff with it , but it’s to much hyped … and not worth the money to me … and the new one haha 😂 plz come one.

Hmm, ... I like the sound of this little thing ... should be nice to make this with 61 or more keys for a real player experience and aftertouch of course 🙂 But, ... expensive in my opinion. On the technical side , a beautiful synth. For this price you should get 16 parts (focus on sequencing, songmode, setlist multiple songs) , lots of polyphony, real keys, a few line outs (at least 3 stereo), enough recording space ...😉, utopia 😄... in other words, expecting more playable hardware for live performances (professional) ... don't get me wrong here but this is my feeling, opinion about this synth.
Everybody is moaning about the price, and yeah it’s a lot of money but so is retro analog gear or new analog synthesizers starting at 2400 euro’s nobody is complaining. With this machine you can go for a long time and this video is just a tip of the iceberg what it can do.
Man...on 2000 euros New analogs synths, the tech inside are way more complex than the OP-1, stellar complex compared...and i don't even talk about material needed to build them...are you really trying to compare an Arturia Polybrute or a Novation Summit against an OP-1 lol
@@jeremjerem I think the tech inside the OP 1 is way more complex to be honest. Not to mention the graphics and the innovations. But hey everybody his favorite machine.

Don’t mind those negative comments Jack, ur such a good educator!!!
What a great tutorial! I bought the OP-1 field a few days ago and it's on its way to me now. I needed a quick guide to show me how to use it.
Awesome stuff Jack - and love the shoutout to Jeremy / Red Means Recording - definitely a master of the OP-1!
Great information mate keep it up I just got the OP 1 3 weeks ago I am learning heaps from your videos. 🙏👍
Very gently and respectful explanation. Sweet 👍🏽
So great! Bought the op1 finally 3 days ago and I love it. ✊🏼🔥
Great presentation.
Btw,no need to hold the rec button,it keep recording after you start play
I learned so much from my first op1 . I sold it and now I'm saving for a second one.

That time stretching tip was great!!! I never thought to use the endless sequencer for the drum/samples section!!!
The only reason I really use the op-1 is that tape style workflow. It just changes the way you think.
OP-1 Field desires have me consuming so much OG OP-1 content right now that this could not have come at a better time!
Great content as usual!
Same for me. All day and so much that i bought the op1 finally 3 days ago. What a dope instrument!
