Holy crap! My Oxi One and Coral get here on Thursday and I'm pumped! Thanks for this video, my mind is already whirling with ideas 🔥
So exciting ! Tell us all about it in the Discord: discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
couldn't agree more. Also a great companion for ipad and it's great softsynths. In that case even totally wireless over bluetooth and on battery power. A powerful live setup in a very small form factor - in my case with a tx-6.
I think that Sequencer + DAW is probably the most powerful compact composing option.
Would love to see if you get tempted by the new Reliq Instruments sequencer coming soon! I have one on order and hoping that the larger grid makes it even more intuitive but it has it's work cut out challenging the OXI!
Yeah I’ve seen that one a bunch. I’m good with the Oxi one for now
Exatcly what i was wondering about, thank you! 👍
My pleasure!
Oxi one works with a Monome Norns out of the box as a Grid instrument. Really amazing sequencer.
Truly!!
That's why I might have to get one!
Thanks dude - a great channel full of insight - loving it - but... Torso T1 or OXI One? and why? Im really struggling to decide which to get. Any advice really apprecoiated.
I'm not a Torso T-1 guy! Couldn't recommend the Oxi One enough though.
This is great! So you just have the Oxi sending midi on a bunch of different channels, and each one is mapped to a track in the daw? The daw is just like a complex multi-synth that happens to be controlled from the Oxi? I think I get how that would work, but would love to see a walk-through of the whole setup. =)
Yes! You're exactly right about this break down.
You are Killen it lately
My guy
😁😁
The oxi one is really an great sequencer. There is one thing though that I would like to see is a way to randomize a note pitch like per step. I know there is the stochastic and matriceal sequencer but I would like to be able to enter a melody and decide for each step a random variation for the pitch with an associated probability. In matriceal, you cannot specify a pitch per step, you can have only randomize the root note. Polyend play lets you do that for instance.
Yeah that would be amazing!
Yes this would be super cool!
Send OXI a message. Maybe they can implement it. I hear they are quite responsive.
Already did in the Dischord channel. The dev replied to me that I can add it. Very responsive team.
Solid starting point 😂
😏
Hi Liam,
Thank you so much for the Video. I have tried to add that note randomization, you programmed at around min 13.30. But in the Random Perform Menu this option doesn't seem to be there. I only have Octave for the knob you‘re tweaking. I would be so happy to figure that out with your help. Thanks again and have a peaceful week !
Make sure that you're updated to the latest version!
@@LiamKillen I already have the latest 4.1.4
Hey man,
I love your channel 🙏
Im a keyboard player, and I’m really interested in starting producing and performing electronic music (dawless) I do have the Digitakt and Roland Boutiques synths - and I’m thinking about adding the sequencer - and I cannot decide between Torso t1 or Oxi One - can you suggest - what would be your thoughts? :)
Oxi One ALL THE WAY !
The T-1 is cool too though - like it's a great performance tool.
@@LiamKillen thanks for your reply 🙏 well, I guess I know what to do 😉
Great video!!! You using only Daw synth (VSTI) ? If possible could you please explain how to set up in to your DAW?
You can match the midi channels via the Oxi one + your DAW so that the Oxi One controls appropriate instruments / channels.
I just got a torso t1.
As a keyboard guitar man.
Kinda feeling crazy having a sequencer for my synths instead of actually playing them.
Loving the silliness it brings into my creations.
There's some overlap but obviously not really.
The torso feels like an instrument this feels more like a sequencer sequencer.
Should I get one synth daddy?
From what I’ve seen the t1 might be better for certain performance settings where as the Oxi one is a stronger unit
@@LiamKillen def, will be grabbing an OXI since I am on a sequencer kick. But first gotta grab a ferrofish to go with the new UFX3. Might also grab a taiga at the same time. Soon soon. Not sure why I ever learned to play keys
Wow.. The oxi one has really become a beautiful thing, time to jump in I guess...
Yaaaa!
Currently running 2 Novation Launchpad Pro mk3 side by side , how would the Oxi compare to my setup ?
I'm debating switching to a single more compact sequencer kit.
That question deserves a full video
@@LiamKillen Could certainly be an interesting premise of comparison.
I started a project, mapped ccs and then wanted to come back to it after restarting the computer. Then all of the sudden had only control over one cc per channel. Never turn off the computer ❤❤❤
🤔
@@LiamKillen usually midi problems occur on the receiving end but I set up a preset on Daw it app in my tablet to send cc messages. Worked for a while but now only sends 1 cc per channel...
@@LiamKillen man am i happy i started talking about this! I figured it out. Multiple controllers per channel. I had copies of the same controllers in the app. ❤️❤️❤️
@@LiamKillen you gotta try DAW it with the tablet. Instant songs with tablet as automation mixer / midi controller. You can even scratch the lfo pretty seamlessly ❤️
❤❤❤ this opens the daw
Absolutely!
How is it with the logic step sequencer? Do they sync very well?
I never tried it but my guess is there there’s some bugz
Niiiice! I'd love to have the Oxi One but I can't afford it. Oh well ... Funny, je viens juste de remarquer le "SAINT-HENRI" dans la description ;) Cheers,
Yeah it’s a bit pricey for sure.
Saint henri all the way! 😊
Duuuuuude, throw the FaderFox PC12 in the mix and you have the perfect performance setup! I play the Oxi One, PC12 and Novation Launchpad (for one shots) and it’s kinda the perfect setup!
It sounds perfect!!
Being a drummer .. percussion is definitely a staple in your repertoire of musical configurations .. which in the big picture .. is a huge and necessary component to making musical harmonies come alive .. thanks for deconstructing the process as you do so consistently and effortlessly .. cheers maestro!
Cheers to you!
dumb question surely already asked hundred times but: what are the blank square leds? Mine are solid
I'm not 100 % sure what you're asking here...
sorry, my bad english fault: The leds on my Oxy (and most of ones I see around) are solid, filled squares of light, in your machine are "empty" squares, just the outline instead@@LiamKillen
That is the black edition of the Oxi One.
wow could you do a video on how you set this up with logic (midi channels and stuff)
I'll consider it!
Awesome sequencer, I do a similar thing with the circuit tracks but way more simple as you can use only 2 midi channels in the DAW, this is impressive! Hey you are using logic over Ableton live? Is there a reason behind? In a previous video I thought you said you transitioned for Ableton as it was the way to go to load scenes or play live?
Oh awesome! It’s always nice to bring a bit of hardware into a DAW set up
Between this guys and the Polyend Play +, trying to decide which one is more fun to create tracks.
I personally would go with this.
nice never seen it used with software such a cool devices pricy but seems worth the price
I think it is too 😊
How do you compare oxi one with polyend play and plus
The Oxi one is for sure stronger
NEVER go back? Damn that's quite a statement. Interesting sequencer.
If I’m producing in my DAW I literally have not gone back since discovering this workflow- same with my model 1.4 I use a mixer with my DAW all the time!
@@LiamKillen That's awesome! I'm finally starting to play without using a DAW again, just haven't been having fun playing music for the last 4 years or so. Time to get some new gear and get away from the PC to just have some fun jamming. Thanks for the vids mate.
Are the Oxi One pads velocity sensitive?
I’ve actually only used it to plug notes in so I’m not 100% sure- there is a very streamlined velocity feature that’s been implemented after the latest update though.
Nop
No, but I use the Keystep to record natural note playing.
Holy balls, nearly 800eur. For that kind of money it needs to cook, clean, massage and be awesome company independent of topic. And it has to make the music on it's own too.
Lol
I'd pay up to $500 USD, but the current price is crazy.
Personally, I think it’s worth it.
Just sold mine. It's a great device but too expensive, especially when you can pick up a second-hand Deluge at around the same price.
I own OXI one but also thinking about selling it...
Interesting
I still think it’s dope AF
@@LiamKillenif you can afford it, yes, and it keeps betting better. Not arguing with that. Just saying there are alternatives at that price worth considering. Heck, if you’re just wanting to sequence Ableton, you can get a used Push 2 for less than half the price at this point. In fact I used the money from selling my Oxi and accessories to get a Roland SH-4D and a Push 2; good trade in my mind 😊.
If I had a bunch of modular gear (which I don’t) I’d probably still have the Oxi.
@@Geekraver ive always kinda wanted a push, but I got a lemur way b4 the push was a thought. the push is just so expensive & i dunno why i'd need it... however, lately this polyend play+ has my eye. I'm thinking that is the one. the play+ looks future proof
Dig your music man
I appreciate you
Thomann don't seem to stock OXI anymore...
Oh really? I would suggest buying straight from the source.
@@LiamKillen Hmm, just seems to be via your affiliate link, If I log in as normal, then Thomann shows it. I tried to buy direct from OXI, but their payment provider seems to be blacklisted by UK cards as neither of mine, ( or the girlfriend's) are accepted
They do, They are receiving more units soon. But of course, use the sponsor link so more videos like this one are possible!
We ship in 24h using DHL!
I wanna use it to use with the Toraiz SP16. Wonder if anyone has tried that?
I'm not super familiar with the Toraiz SP16 but i've seen Ricky Tinez cover it - seems pretty dope.
All to make 1990s house track . . . that's already been dun to def !
You’re not limited to 1990s house tracks lol
The groove has Ol’ Skool Higher Intelligence Agency sound to it.
Ol’ Skoot Skoot
Just wish it had 8 sequencers, so i went with the EME + Eloquencer from Winter Modular. I have a bunch of Oxi led cables tho :)
Elo has 1 Sequencer with 8 Tracks. The Oxi has 4 Sequencers with up to 32 tracks !
Get two of em! lol
@petethefreak99 Haha, yes idd that's what i meant ofcourse, my bad for mixing it up somehow! :) So i assume that means that the Oxi One + Pipe together can send out 16x gates and 16x note cv? Would be pretty useful for me if so! Altho i can't reverse time, so i have to deal with the eight track "limitation" of the Eloquencer. But i definitely have enough tools to expand greatly on the number of eight tracks without using another sequencer. Although sometimes i control one sequencer with another. It's rather more of an experimental experience. Written a song on the Eloquencer to remix a song structure on the Varigate 8+.
@LiamKillen Unfortunately, i don't even have room for one man. One with the Pipe would be interesting, but two would be overkill anyway :)
Hi Dude ! Fucking incredible for the production of this device my god! Too bad it's so expensive. I wouldn't use it for external devices. I don't know if there is a good alternative for less money. In any case I would like to use it to trigger samples and change gate velocity pitch (I don't know if you can do this on a vst sampler). In any case, sooner or later it will be mine. If there is an alternative let me know ;))
Ps can you save the project on the sequencer ?
There's nothing quite like it. It's been compared to Hapax as well but I think that's in the same price range.
I want Deluge, Oxi one, Hapas ❤❤❤
I want em all!!
To be honest i really disliked the music you made but the workflow is dope!
I'm using oxi dawless and im thinking to bring ableton back to play some synth as you just did.
Oxi is all a sequencer can have, the only thing is that it's not very intuitive but you get use to it after a while.
Keep up the good work! Cheers
I think it’s super intuitive! Glad you liked the workflow
i got an sh-4d and sold the rest of my gear off. one cable sends everything. including multitrack audio that sounds good. but the sequencer sucks.
Ohhh interesting take!
its a quick easy workflow to get into to too. having to hook everything up and mess with ground noise etc took away from the creative juice@@LiamKillen
the buttons you press, and the words you say dont correlate to the output.
😂
DistroKid is great! (If you like being robbed)
Whaaaaaaat???
roughly 1:30 for sure did lol.
😏 😂
The difference between an independent creator and a shill is whether or not they promote distokid
doesn't make much sense seeing as the products i'm featuring in this video have nothing to do with DistroKid lol
I’m too stupid for this machine.
haha i don't think so. Just gotta surf that learning curve.
Can I buy an AI version of you? 🤔🎄
I’m one of a kind
I don't know why someone would buy the Oxi just for using it with a DAW.
There is software with that kind of abilities and functions.
I use it mostly with hardware 😉 but it’s good to know this is an option
There is software with the same ability/function/sound as hardware.
Oxi One is too expensive here, so opted for a PE Play non +, it was $500 cheaper than the Oxi.
The Reliq is due out next year and that is one of the reasons not to heavily invest in the Oxi or Hapax.
I think the Reliq will change a lot of things on how people look at sequencers.
I’m not familiar with that one
@@LiamKillen I think you will pee your pants.
Search for Reliq hybrid control sequencer
I think this is an endgame product, it does everything and more.
It's expensive but well worth it imo.
The Reliq won’t be inexpensive by any means, also takes up a lot of space. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with it though.
I must be old. All I see is a bunch of unlabeled square backlit buttons with no labels. How can anyone know what each one does? Feel free to call me an old fart :)
Haha- it’s just like any other unit- with time you learn how to use it!
There’s this great new invention called the user manual and if you read it it tells you how to operate the device. Most modern devices come with one.
@@brad5391don’t you try to youthanize me, whippersnapper!
No Shit? Really? Now I don't need you to help me through life? Sweet! You can leave now.@@brad5391
It is so easy to use after 10 minutes. Blinking boxes become glowing expressions of your sound decisions.
Cool vids, and stop with that cheating mentality. I play classical piano, and in a way, I'm a button pusher if you think about it. I'm basically just pressing a lot of buttons (keys). And I play songs that people composed hundreds of years ago lol. Just play however yall want and have fun. Lol. Keep the music coming. I'm tempted to get that oxi one man.
That's a good way to look at it :-)
Come discuss it more over on my Discord :-)
discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
thanks u beautiful gay man
Jesus
Tidy, you can stop reviewing sequencers from now on then.
Why would I do that!?
Because you'd NEVER go back. 🤔@@LiamKillen
Once you found the one, never go back.
@@theoneunderdoesn’t mean he can’t review them?
Not fully understanding your logic - there's so many other aspects of the Oxi One I can explore with other set ups. But for this DAW / composition type set up, I don't see anything else on the market that can replicate this sort of work flow- that's for sure.
this grid system makes no sense to me.
It takes a min to learn.
@@LiamKillen probably. But i watched your video. And i dont get most of it ;-)
only $800 and you too can be a poser
Tell that to deadmau5 who actually just bought one lol
It costs you money to make videos? Oh nooo, cry me a river.
🤔
Thought it was a toss up vs. this and the Hapax. So, I got both. 😂
Have 3 different jam stations, one is more MIDI oriented, the other is semi modular so it uses both, and finally an all Eurorack setup.
I’m using the Hapax for the MIDI setup, and Oxi One for the semi modular system.
Haven’t used them enough to determine a favourite yet. Thinking both are great for my use case, but the Oxi has a chance of moving over to the Eurorack station. Adding the Coral could yield some interesting results. 🫤
Woah you’re stacked!!
I had the hapax, sold it due to the more musical generative ideas the oxi could come up with. The Hapax took forever to come up with anything half decent. That is what I got it for, so your usage may vary.
@@tyranic1 They had a new update in October, and another in beta currently. They’re working on it. OXI has been out much longer, so I’m not concerned.
IMO, they both have decent pattern generation already. What distinguishes them is what they are optimized for. The Hapax is more optimized for MIDI, especially with the added MIDI effects. OXI One is more optimized for CV and gate signals.
Although, a person can integrate both with either one. When you have as much gear as I have, it’s nice to have that flexibility.
Can’t see myself giving either one up. To do so would mean unplugging everything and having to set it up again, just to make use of everything I have. Nice to walk in to the studio with everything plugged in and setup, just gotta turn it on and start jamming. 🤟😛
The Hapax is just amazing, especially since v2.0 @@hardcoreherbivore4730
Always inspiring even though I don't own any of these gear hehehe
Maybe at some point! 😊
Actually I’ve got plenty of gear, not these in particular but the hydra synth has been always in my wish list, but when it comes to sequencers let me put it like this, mt beatstep pro has been in its box since last year
my digitakt is almost controlling all of my shite@@LiamKillen
Not being funny but it would be so much easier and you would have so much control just using your daw. Nobody needs to spend £700 to make their work flow slower and less intuative.
It’s not slower at all though once you learn how to use it and it pushes you to come up with completely different results and adds a hardware feel to composing- It can also be transplanted very intuitively in a live setting. Plenty of reasons why it’s worth it
terrible beat though
You have a nice name
