Happy you got inspired from my video AND got your XY!!! Have fun with this awesome machine!

How so? This thing is light years beyond ableton move in design and function.

Dont go by the look. This thing is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy more powerful then the devices you mentioned. Theres a two hr deep dive on this by one of the creators and trust me 2300 bucks is exactly what id charge if id created this.

Rick is a legend! Glad you liked the video :) have a great day!

I havn’t found a way to get a fully blank track, no. The blank present idea is a very good idea 👍

You’re welcome! :) recieved some great workaround ideas from some heroes here in the comment section. You can change the scaling of the sequencer so it basically shows both bars in one. Or try to use the ”player” called Hold.

Love mad scientist questions 😄 absolutely you could record vocals and you can get it to work - and it would be glorious - but it might be a bit of a headache to get it right. But would loooove to see it happen! Let me know if you try 🙏

@ my op xy is back ordered, but it should arrive in January, hopefully. For now I will be meditating on the most amazing beats and vocal lines to punctuate the melodic synthetic rhythms for my musical adventure in 2025

That is a very cool idea! Go for it! Since XY has 24 voices you can have several resamples from one drum engine playing at the same time.

Ok, question. I can probably look it up in the manual, but how do you make each key in a drum sampler only play the sample while the key is held? Is there a gate/trigger setting? I’m thinking like playing the drum sampler sp404 style, with each key loaded with individual complete patterns right? I suppose I could set each key to choke every other key, but that sounds tedious. I still need to experiment a LOT more but figured I’d ask!

Found it! Shift + light gray encoder switches between loop and gate when key is held.

You and me both! This still leaves me with some feeling of control. It’s a bit time consuming but you could basically bounce every track on it’s own as well as different combinations.

Unfortunatley not. Don’t think it’s implemented yet.

oh man, still trying to figure it out, will let you know when I find out for sure!

🤣🤣🤣

Oh you are too kind! 🥹 Cuckoo is a legend and a really nice guy. Met him briefely last year. Thank you for watching my videos! It makes me so happy that fine people like yourself find them inspirational ❤️

Thank you so for the support! Really happy you like my videos ❤️ i couldn’t agree more 😎

That is very clever! thank you for the tip! 🙏😃

I use the TP-7 as a field recorder. Since this location aint close to my computer

@@Shimmery.mp3 Ah gotcha. Yeah. I use the TX-6 for that. Always wondering if the TP-7 has value for me.

It is a very nice recorder and a BEAUTIFUL machine. It looks sooo freaking cool! It adds some nice features to TX as well. Like how you can record all 6 inputs from TX6 and then recall them onto TX6 again. But of course it’s a expensive designer option. There are a lot good field recorders out there and you already have a workflow with TX6

That is very true if you have an empty track to use! But in this example i had used all the 8 tracks already(on purpose just to show it could still be done) :) thank you for the tip tho! I will remember that when i do this next time 🙏

@@Shimmery.mp3that’s true, I missed that you switched back to all 8 tracks playing there. But so a good workflow could be to have a drum sampler on track 8 that you could sample in to when the other 7 tracks are occupied and you need to free some tracks. It’s quite nice actually!

@ no worries bud! That is definatley a very good habit to create! Will be sure to do that if I feel the track has potential :) thank you for the tip!

If you press one of the keys on the drum kit and then press the recordbutton while the key still pressed, it will “zoom in” on the one drum sound, so this feature makes drum programming pretty easy with all the sounds on 1 track.

@jantuitman Forgot about that! thx Does it "keep the zoom" when you change bar pages?

@ actually, it was a bit worse than I remembered it was when I tried it out. You have to press a trig, than press record while keeping the trig pressed, and then keeping the trig pressed. So, no relaxed cup of coffee in zoom mode, keep a finger on a key. But the good news: you can switch bars while doing this. You can even lengthen the pattern while doing this. It is not the holy grail ( no editing of step components for example), but it is a handy help to quickly place / inspect trigs while not getting confused too much

@@jantuitman thx for the in depth explanation. sounds like my "midi squash" or "midi resample" method would be nicer for dealing with intricate drum patterns.

That hold player trick is pretty slick actually! :O I didn’t get the other way to work. But will try again! Thank you so much for the tips 🍻

@@Shimmery.mp3 I think you are right,. I'm pretty sure I saw the holding across bars in a video, but it does not work now when I just tried it.

It feels like it SHOULD work. Probably ment to work like you say. Hopefully it’ll be added in a new FW. Still really like that Hold trick! Very clever! :)

@@Shimmery.mp3 Im thinking hold is perfect for chords. Or for a sustained base with legato!

Can you change the resolution on the sampler track to bring both bars onto 1 page, then use the first+last step trick?

You connect XY as an MTP to your computer and drag the sample in the samples folder. Then you can access it in the sample library. Will try to do an import vid when I’m feeling better from my cold 🫶

@@Shimmery.mp3 I figured all this out but there is one thing, there is only forward and reverse by holding shift. I don't see any other options like one shot, etc. So it loops when you hold down the key.

@antikytheramechanism7909 while holding shift try pressning the encoder that controls the fading of the loop points. It’s the second one on the right. If you press it twice it should say ”loop off”

@@Shimmery.mp3 Thank you! I seem to recall on OP-1 Field that I could see the markers for loop points, start, end, etc. Here they are black on top of black so you cant really see them to like with a pad set your loop point it is difficult to see.

I totally agree with that. They are really hard to see in the monochrome unfortunatley

Good question! For this example I wanted to split up the drums just so the point of the workflow would come across a bit better. But you can do all drums on one track just as you said! :)

@ lovely saving up for one

I think you’ll love it 🍻

you might want to process the drums as well - you can add much more character to your sound by using more than one drum track and dialing in the settings a bit. (And/Or you resample individual hits)

That is a very good point

Thank you! So glad you like it :)

Yeah i really hope so too! ❤️

Thank you so much! Will try to make more. Just gotta get through this freakin cold 🤧

It is great! Thanks for watching 🫶

The lemon can be whatever you want it to be 🍋

Glad I could help :) will make some more 🍻

Well it’s not infinite projects and you could quickly find yourself needing to record a new part in an old project.

Now you don’t have to do that anymore 🍻

Glad you like the video! Thanks for watching:)

Good question and I will be honest. I love the OP-1 field still. It’s a unique instrument and it is very powerful if you embrace the tape workflow. For me, that’s making a lot of ambient music, I love how ”free form” it can be. But i’m having small doubts that my love for OP-1 is a bit more nostalgia now after XY. I think XY has the potential to become an epic machine. But it’s a step sequencer at the end of the day. The free from and quirky stuff that OP-1 brings is still only in OP-1. Hope this helps a little bit 🙏

The real answer is get the XY and keep the OP-1

This is the way

I own a Yamaha Seqtrak (powerful sequencer that in workload looks simular to OP-XY) and recently bought an OP1 Field. I love the free form composing of the op1. It is a real instrument, like a piano or guitar with editing possibilities. The Seqtrak is really good in creating loops, programm digital music. I believe this is also the difference between the OP1 field and the OP XY. Would love e to own an XY as well as it looks much more easier to use then the Seqtrak and is more powerful.

Thank you so much! Will do :) thanks for watching

Hahaha 😂

use my voice? like a caveman?! 😜

@@Shimmery.mp3 it’s in keeping with the traditional analog flavor of the 4-track tape! If you were using a Tascam 424, you’d use your voice!

I totally get that and I agree that it’s a good solution as well. Just messing around 🫶

Classic solution!

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching:)

I touch upon it a little bit in this video actually. You can add your own samples to XY and build kits. I will try to make a quick video :) thanks for watching

Yes you are correct! It would have been a better example if I’d used a pad 🙈

Gotta give the viewers the full synth hipster vibe 😎

Show me

Synthengine for 2400Bucks 😮 great Idea

Thank you 😊

Would be so much fun to do music scoring for film 🥰

Thank you! Glad you like it 🙏
