    the reduction and the raw process learned me so much about music. i can make any beat with it. i hooked up with a ipad. sample from slice and it rocks. combined with my meris pedals. ohhh my god. it inspire me every day. i still have the og op-1 and it works now for 11 years…it s not cheap but if you want becoming a better musician buy it. you have to get better to get good sounds of it and this is the magic…

      @ Just watched it! Sounds amazing! I’ve been doing something quite similar on the OP-1 for a while now. You can play a C note and record it to Tape, then do that again with any number of synths you want and Resample it! So you end up with a multi-layered sound you can play with the Synth Sampler!!

    Still love it! It's the perfect nightshift companion. I wish they released more features sooner. Instead they are stretching it out over 10 years I assume. Nevertheless it's extremely fun and at times frustrating, but no reason to sell it like I did with the 404 MK2. I just couldn't gel with that one. Btw, isn't there a app that allows you to add sample to the keys?

    Op1F truly the best synth for the money in my opinion, those who say they don’t understand it have never owned one. it’s EXTREMELY versatile it is not just a synth. there’s a reason after 14 years no one has made anything that comes close to it. that’s funny you mentioned the fire, if my place ever caught fire it’d also be the first thing I’d grab 😂

    • @Sinesquares

    • @Me-ne5uu
      @Me-ne5uu 11 днів тому

      Saying it’s the best synth for the money is comical. The synth engines are mediocre at best for the price tag. Its DAW is cumbersome and its effects are quirky. It’s not worth it in any individual aspect. It’s “worth” comes from the whole package and beautiful design. I own the OP-1 and acknowledge its charm but it’s truly not a practical instrument.

  • @Freakydile

    I have it for a good month... What I like about it: It's magnificent battery life. Finally a device where you don't have to be scared to use it extensively. It's portability is great. The tape types are very usefull, the sampler is very good. Sound quality is professional. The microphone is supergood, and sensitive. What I am scared about: the buttons. Like with all things, these guys are your input, and I hope the build quality is good enough for the price, and hope they will be reliable. Downsides: The price... Payed 1500 for it second hand, and the colour. White. White will get dirty, and this is a thing you won't put in a bath of soap... All by all, a nice thing to own, very very usable...

    • @Sinesquares
      @Sinesquares Місяць тому

      Oh yes, the battery life is mind blowing! Also, about the white, I used to buy a lot of white synths and my experience is definitely bad.. I’ve cleaned so many white knobs in my life lol… Let’s hope the material on the OP-1 stays clean for years 🤞

    The most expensive toy ever. I never understood why people buy them and have never heard any music that is not like a demo from it. Sorry, just my take 😅

    • @Sinesquares
      @Sinesquares Місяць тому

      Any take is welcome ;) In my opinion, the OP-1 is not special because of its sound (although you can make it sound really good). It's an enabler for creating music without getting carried away by the sound design and endless features other instruments have. Is it expensive? Yeah, it is... But if it's within your budget, there are so many things to love about it that you cannot find anywhere else.

    • @elementlab41
      @elementlab41 25 днів тому

      I get why people call it a toy, especially those who have never owned one. As far as music you have never heard sound like a demo, I have a friend with five Grammys and 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He keeps it velcro-ed in the center of a $94K vintage Neve console. It's on every song using just the presets. Even if it's not for me (or you), I can assure you people use it as a studio tool. He convinced me to buy one, and I could never part with it.

    Interesting to learn that the pedal is meant to be landscape or sideways. Half of it looks like it should be vertical but the knobs were set to be horizontal, (4:25) seeing as 12 oclock is where it is. Also the where the "top jacks" are.
