This is a great tutorial and walk through, thank you!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

I couldn't see any mention of this in the comments, but the reason why the op crashes at around 57s could be that you failed to enter any characters for the snapshot name. You just deleted all characters. So not terribly surprising that it crashes when you go back to look at the custom preset. Sloppy coding for sure, but also kind of understandable. But it's been two years, so someone probably mentioned it a long time ago.

Really need the sustain petal (CC64). One key reason for me to purchase the OP1F is to use it as a digital piano when connect with a external keyboard. :(

simply a grade video! and super device!!! only a thing because i'm blind, could you give me step by step, just answer to this comment, how to load / cellect a tape let's say i've create 3, how i can navigate?!!!!! shift+tape and then??!!! what buttons i press to cellect? 1000 thanks Theo

A+ Amazing video, your way of exploring all the options gives us the real experience, thank you for that! And now for the elephant in the room, for me the imperfection of the now-last key! It is a very expensive "toy" and should be flawless from the factory, Teenage Engineering, it's time to step it up in quality control.

Great overview, thanks !

I got a question I can’t seem to find the answer to: does volume drop when you record into tape ? When I record drum sequences ( within the op1 field ) the “tape” recording of it is quieter . So doing this live would be a turn off. Is that normal ?

i didnt have 1st op 1

Amazing video mate. Just got the op1 field yesterday as a total noob and this was a real help.

Why not show how to trim the track if you record past the bar.

Can’t wait to get one

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

43:20 - the holocene preset does work, just press and hold the key longer. It has a slow ramp in so you don't hear it at first.

Great video, concise and clear. Best I have seen for basic functionality of unit. Still researching the op-1F before purchasing. One topic I have not yet seen visually discussed you touched upon. Would love to see the update process/download of samples(patches) from sites/computer to the op-1.5. Many talk about it but never show a step by step walk through. Thank you for your help!

Great video, thank you so much!

Does have velocity sensitivity.

1:20 Ochre

great video. Waited a long time to buy an OP-1 and with the advent of the Field, pulled the trigger. Still learning. Keep the content coming!

How do you turn on the Radio? That’s where I’m lost.😊

I wish you could copy a track to another tape and leave the original copy in place. That would allow you to be able to do your drums on 4 tracks. Then copy them to another Tape and merge them so you can record other parts.

Did you keep the OP-1 Field?

Thanks for a great review. My volume nob is a bit flimsy, a little wobbly, feels weak. How is your OP1f? Same wobbly volume nob?

Hi, thanks for the video. I just got my OP-1F and the volume nub is a bit wobbly. Do you have a similar behavior?

Amazingly detailed. Thanks so much. You're a lifesaver

The MiniDisc algo seems a bit pointless. The difference between it and CD was negligible. Given the other tape algos already in there, a dictaphone algo would have been a logical progression

Hey! Is the chop lifter still in beta? I haven’t seen anyone test that feature yet.

Bro! Thanks for this vid, I’m so keen to get one. Are you in Melb?

I'm annoyed by the power switch. I'm concerned it won't fit in the same case I used for my OG-1, it was a tight fit already. Also, the fact they had to add a delay in the software to prevent accidents with it is so utterly silly. If it ain't broke don't fix it. The old switch was A-OK.

This looks like it was designed by some teenagers

Other than the new reverb I see no reason at all to upgrade. Certainly the reverb is not worth 800usd more. I suspect the original op1 will hold its value better later on.

LOL It's sounds like a Casio Keyboard, has only 4 Tracks and costs $2000, what a joke.

it's wow! 👍

Thanks for the great video! Do you know if OP 1 can be sequenced by Ableton via usb c? Also do you know if there is a way to sequence op1 using midi for Digitakt?

Ha ha, freedom units.

Great video! One question. How is the battery indicator behave, is it lives its own life after charging? All the og op-1 users should know what im talking about 🙃

No choppa -> no deal for me

Thanks for the mighty comprehensive video! Can you still enable the iter synth by moving over a preset that uses it?

Thank you.

How are the drum envelopes? Tobias said that they've been improved. They were crap initially

My original op-1 which i bought a few months ago, had key alignment issues (plus a bunch of other issues like buttons being completely stuck). TE sent me 5 units in total cause every single one I sent back was completely fucked when they arrived. The last unit I got works. But the keys are aligned so poorly, I can’t believe a unit for over 1000 bucks is manufactured like shit

Thanks for sharing your first impressions! I also plan on offsetting my OG OP-1, BUT I have to send it in for repair for the third time! One of those repairs was for the 3.5mm output, it always crapped out. Have you noticed any improvements to that output? I'm hoping that board was upgraded and more robust.

Thank you so much for this comprehensive video. It answered all questions I might have had. Also thank you for being so honest about the built quality. The decentered encoders have been there on the OG (reissue) as well.

what you said about the tape tracks having the quality of the machine you recorded that track with even if you lift them is just absolutely great, that means we can mix and match within the same track to our liking ... that is just beautiful👌
