TUTORIAL // OXI ONE - FUNKY BASS // LØSTLVLS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Was chatting on Elektronauts about using the Oxi One to make funky basslines and user Amy asked me to make a video - so here it is!
This is a video aimed at a fairly knowledgeable owner of the Oxi One. It's not massively complex by any means (the Oxi One goes deeeeeep) but I don't linger on concepts and settings and button combinations. I will consider doing more back-to-basics videos if it will help people get to grips with this incredible device.
Further to the disclaimer in the video - I am not in any way sponsored by Oxi. I backed the Kickstarter in 2021 as a Super Early Bird so I may have got it for less than most people, but it was because I put my faith in this product early on. :)
This is the first tutorial video I have made - please leave a comment if you wish as I am eager for feedback and constructive criticism. One thing I will do in the future is use an external microphone, as the phone mic leaves something to be desired, but it definitely sounds better than a lot of dedicated but cheap microphones from the last couple of decades.

this must be the gear of the decade for me
not only does it, what you want from a sequencer, it does it all and that, very good
It not only made me go dawless but totaly removed the tedious arranging on a PC
This device changed how i approach composing, and made me fall in love again with my Synth-hardware
Amazing to hear! I love it as a sequencer for Ableton Live, makes composing a tactile experience. :)
@@lstlvls2521 wait .. so you´re telling me i could use the Oxi to arrange in FLStudio/Live?
Thanks for taking the time to make this!
It's my pleasure, thank you for watching and commenting!
Came from Elektronaouts forum and this was great 😃
Thank you fellow Elektronaut, means a lot to me!
Very easy to follow, you made a good tutorial. Also voice was very good to listen too, one non edited breath i heard, but that is really minor, keep em comming. I am really interested in the oxi, so having more techno focused hybrid setup examples are welcome.
I found the non-edited breath, oops! Well-spotted. Will be more careful in the future. :)
Great tutorial! Just got my oxi yesterday and I just tried your techniques, super fun
Thank you, that's really awesome to know! It's such a brilliant sequencer, nothing in hardware or software can compare. :D
Great video, thanks for making it
My pleasure, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Great job! Love me some OXI One! Stay safe, keep jammin!
Thanks so much, you stay safe too!
Nice job! Thanks for sharing these techniques, much appreciated.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching! What would you like to see covered? It's high time I made another video.
wow the fixed setting is incredible! had no idea. let's you tease in a new melody without having to make another pattern
I agree! It's something not even Elektrons offer yet. Lets patterns breathe. :D
Cool tips for the OXI ONE.. Thanks man 🙏
My pleasure, more to come!
@@lstlvls2521 looking forward to them. Oxi is a very fun but deep sequencer. These video’s help a lot 👍
very cool :) keep em coming
Thanks so much, will do!
Booom! More amiga 🙏🏻
Boom! Do you know, I've never used an Amiga, and suck at using trackers? :P
@@lstlvls2521 dawless all the way 😜
@@dyscobiskit The best sounds come from hardware. ;)
good idea with the FIXED prob. thx
Thanks for the comment! I was blown away when Manu implemented the FIXED prob, especially so quickly after it was suggested!
Super cool video dude…. I got my OXI two days ago along with Coral to move from the box straight into modular
Enjoy! I haven't tried a Coral yet but it looks amazing.
Elektron can do this, you can set a trig condition per step, so when you take 3 notes out of your sequence and don’t give it a trig condition they’ll always sound. Though this is handier and faster because it’s like, do it with all the notes except these 3
Thanks so much for making this video! i am scaaaanning YT for basic tutorials on the Oxi One (i'm a new user) and can use all the help i can get.... Any more vids you want to share will be incredibly appreciated, as exhaustively reading the manual can only get me so far - the current manual says that "Randomizers & Generators" is on page 34, and IT is actually on page 39 🙄
Any chance you could hip us onto the best workflow with the Harmonizer functions? i tried to record a chord progression, and then record a same-scale mono bassline in Harmo, only to find "Harmo Rec not supported" on the mono track.... i was really hoping we would be able to just make any kind of music happen in any direction with the Oxi - chords first, or leads first, or bassline first, and just match same-scale other tracks up with the Harmonizer and be off to the races, but there seems to be some limitations involved.... Any help (or even a short video!) would, again, be incredibly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🌌
Thanks so much! I would love to make a video on the Harmoniser, I use it a lot when making those funky basslines bounce in tune with a chord track. What firmware are you using on the Oxi One? I've never seen the message 'Harmo Rec not supported'. I just tried it on my Oxi One - Sequencer 1 as a Chord track, Sequencer 2 as a Mono track which is set to HARMON mode, and it let me record notes from the keyboard no problem. Which firmware are you using? I'm on 4.0.0 but there's 4.1.2 out now.
I love my Oxi!!
It's sooooooo good
question: i suspect ableton has master clock and sends start/stop messages to the oxi?
Hello! Yes that is correct. :)
How did you get the black Oxi One if you were part of the kickstarter campaign because the black version was released quite some time after the kickstarter batch? I was part of the kickstarter early birds too so I was a tiny bit miffed when the black version was announced after we had already purchased the regular one.
Hello, very good question. I had one of the first ones with the white grid buttons. However, I had to send it to Manu for repair as the MIDI out port wasn't working... To be fair I moved house one or twice while I had it so probably that shook it loose. Anyway, the black version appeared on social media and I got a new Oxi One with the black pads as apparently they can't just be dropped in kinda thing. I paid for the upgrade but it wasn't very much as it was a gesture of good will. :)
More videos in this funky style. Im tempted with the Oxi One but most of the demos are the usual Boards of Canada wannabies
Haha, I know what you mean. Random pattern generation is brilliant but like AI artwork it can be rather soulless... The Oxi One really does allow for funky, human-like patterns that get me grooving!
@@lstlvls2521 The humanise function is the biggest attraction for me. I come from using a VST called Phrasebox which does a similar thing - the bass notes would change with chord changes. Its a cool feature but a little fiddly in VST so for a hardward device to do it - great. I also like the HY sequencers (again VST) which the OXI seems to do well. I wonder if the OXI would play nicely with the TE KO2?
From the point of view of a beginner and that of someone who favours hardware over daws.....would you say this is a good place to start within the world of sequencers? I've got an sq1 but already find it a bit limiting. It's basically either a beatstep pro or the oxi 1. Was just wondering about it's work flow and efficiency with say a DRM 1 or other hardware synths
Thanks
Hi! I'd choose the Oxi One over an SQ1 or Beatstep Pro any day but I've been playing with sequencers for quite a while... As a complete beginner I would definitely struggle with it! I guess it depends what you want to do - Beatstep Pro is a brilliant sequencer and perfect for most styles of music. I personally need something more flexible and Elektron-like and that's what the Oxi One offers, and much more. If I was a beginner I'd go for the Beatstep Pro first, just because it's super easy and fun to play around with.
@@lstlvls2521 hey thanks so much for getting back to me! So I've got my vermona drm coming in the post and a minitaur, a dfam and a bunch of volcas. I'm having a blast but some sequencing is needed. Pretty set on a bsp. Give it a year or so il want something a bit more substantial(elektron etc).
@@Thegingerwolff Sounds good dude, enjoy your new setup! The DFAM is a beast, I love the unique workflow and happy accidents! Minitaur is so good as well, super nice in every way. Funnily enough I just picked up another Volca Keys after years of not owning one. Sounds surprisingly great, dark and gritty!
Nice one learnt a few things
Wonderful news, thank you!
Reminds me a bit of that Syro album by Aphex Twin
I love that album. :D
do you also use oxi to record arpeggio's?
I don't use arpeggios very often in my music, what I prefer to do is modulate the arpeggio mode's Strum parameter on a Chord sequence. You end up with these lovely, musically-correct and endlessly variable sequences that conform to the chords being played. The strums, when set really slow, don't necessarily conform to regular time divisions like 8ths, 16ths etc, so you get lovely free-floating notes. Perfect for slow 'ambient' music. :)
Hi Robbie i'm thinking of getting one - i'm hardware synths only so will i be able to programme the sequencer and get the same results as using a DAW or modular setup ? It looks like a really great piece of gear and could transform my music production.Excellent demo !
Heya Twiglet, thanks so much! Yeah you can use the Oxi One to control hardware just fine, I use it on my Virus TI2, Nord Drum 2, Maschine +... It's just brilliant, honestly.
If you get one, you might feel it's a bit fiddly at first. It's definitely unique! Write things down, figure out what you want to do with it, start slow. And use the Undo button. :D
@@lstlvls2521 Yes i've ordered one from Thomann so should be here soon ! This thing looks so well made and i'm excited to think that my creative soup has just added a very tasty morsel to the menu so thanks for inspiring my choice by your input.
@@twiglet2214 Nice, congrats! Hope it arrives soon, if it hasn't already. I've been raving about the Oxi One for years now and honestly I couldn't be happier with it. The updates are constant, which is a blessing as it shows the commitment to feedback. This can be a dual-edged sword for those who want something to always reliably work the same way, but there's no requirement to update it and the updates are fantastic! Looking forward to getting stuff into the new Loop function that Manu added the other day. Take care!

2024 - 35 = 1989. A good year!
what is C minor scale does it slow down a happy upbeat into a sad feeling dirge.
and can it chord capture, this thingy, and make it into a music thingy with some basic theory
and have you really got to be a musician or is it just having a good ear 👂
if so if you finally get board lose interest give it to me nice and cheap cause I ain't ever
going to find a seriously over priced dodad like the oxi one worth the GAS to pry open
my money stash .. and I had a listen to Gaz stutter through it' and others explain it's
wonderful abilities as a controller bla bla bla was taken to go look in the eBay
what!! £678 or something and £50 for that midi box thing.
and me just a hobbyist tinker, i did see one being offered
for £500 s/h ??? but why? will wait and see if your butty will drop the price lower
and put a bundle on the extras and a proper ideal system map
and or other tinkers sell on theirs for the next new wonder machine whatever
