All the synths on OP-XY! || New synth engines || Teenage Engineering

[@DrFearCo]

KZbin needs smart comment filtering for the video poster. I would love to just regex filter out comments bitching about the price. They aren’t useful and they just clog up the comment section.

[@epolpier]

But the price is just purely insane...

[@naa-video]

finally a good overview of the engines. thanks!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@SONWU]

Hello David Guetta, nice to make your acquaintance 👋 I appreciate you showing off the engines, they sound better than I first thought. Also having keytracking on the filter is a great addition, as well as the separate envelopes.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Lol i knew i should have kept my identity secret! 🤣 Glad you liked it Son Wu! Looking forward to seeing you get your hands on the XY!

[@vinmar_music]

Nice. I own it and have spent pretty much every spare second with it, am already super happy and you just excited me more.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

welcome to the club! :) thanks for watching the video 🙏

[@sock_park]

Thank you for the video and for running through all the presets. Particularly impressed by the bass sounds. Subscribed!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

thank you so much for subscribing! glad you like the video!

[@alecsbuga]

Thanks. I was looking for synth demos of the thing.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Glad i could help! :)

[@ruudvincent6078]

Thanks for this clear video

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@Katmat87]

Sounds great, powerful synth bases that can be sculpted with some know how. Glad it’s not loaded with cheesy ott presets. Looking forward to making some model cycles esque music and mixing with samples

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Yeah i really dig a lot of the presets. I usually never do

[@F_letc.h]

Lovely sounding synth engines. Do you know how much sample time the OP-XY has?

[@Galfar0th]

would also like to know what's the max time you can record and put to one sample?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

No I don’t actually. Will find out and make a sampling video

[@Shimmery.mp3]

I will investigate

[@D3ROXX]

Very nice review ! I was wondering how engines are sounding. Thank you for this.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Glad I could help! Thank you for spreading positivity! :)

[@eubique]

That's all very pleasant and useable.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Glad I could help!

[@tColorsinspacerecordings]

I think having an another LFO would really make sound design much nicer. Hopefully with an update. 10 more really good sound engines and another LFO and I will consider.

[@dcpayne5264]

Would be nice, but in TE’s synth history they’ve only ever released a limited number of engines. And most of what’s in the OP XY are rebadged OP1 engines. Tonally, they always sound similar

[@Shimmery.mp3]

another lfo would be great. sample chopping and timestreatching from EP-133 would be huge

[@barııııış]

Are the keys velocity sensitive like the OP-1f? Edit: further on the video you explained, thanks!

[@op-1g.s]

I saw a vid where it’s shows that you are able to change the chord progressions after recording and put in some random punch in fx to make the beat interesting. This small OP is deeper then I can imagen and all in Stereo. And you have 8 tracks to mix with too. Wow 🤩 Nice demonstration ❤

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Glad you like it! Yeah that's the Brain doing it's thing. It has gotten so much better since the OP-Z. I'll try to do a video about it. Btw got a new vid coming out tomorrow(hopefully) that will explain the arranger. IT IS WILD! I discovered something that gives this sooo much more depth!

[@CartoonMonkeyStudio]

Can you cover sampling? Does it do radio?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Will try to make one :) no i don’t think theres a radio feature in XY

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

They sound phenomenal. Love the hatred it inspires too!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

It’s a hot topic for sure 😅

[@Galfar0th]

the engines sound absolutely insane. 1f is way behind comparing to them.

[@MyNameJeff..]

Not really. And considering you can sample any synth into it, this isn’t that special.

[@Galfar0th]

@@MyNameJeff.. I'm comparing pure sound quality, I have 1f myself and hearing this demo here it's a no brainer.

[@robertjamesonmusic]

Op-1f and this are both great. Should pair well!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

They sound very lush 😍

[@SplashWaveBeats]

No FM radio in this one?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Not yet atleast

[@arkngle]

Please show off the arranger, sampler and “brain”. I don’t get those. And thanks for showing more than anyone else.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Thanks for the suggestions! I will try to put together a video or two on the subject

[@P-S-T]

Thank you for a great video! 😁

[@Shimmery.mp3]

[@yannickloosa9694]

Please could show how you export everything in your daw?

[@arkngle]

Not possible

[@RadaSmada]

@@arkngle what are you talking about? of course it is

[@Galfar0th]

you connect the device via midi, and e.g. in ableton you capture each track, you can capture all at once.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Thanks for the suggestion! Will try to put together a video

[@Digiphex]

It’s so basic for where we are compared the market but the sequencer is very interesting.

[@cassildaandcarcosa294]

its cirklon-esque

[@floydb9100]

are these synths considered analog ? Or like a vst, like serum? Thanks

[@itsdrawkcab5899]

I don't think the OP-XY has analog circuitry, so it's probably all digital (like a vst/serum). It does have really nice converters though, so I'm sure you can sample analog sounds into it and it will still sound very analog.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Definitely digital. Like a vst :)

[@Shimmery.mp3]

This is the way 😎

[@lextron-audio]

DSP

[@JohnSAitken]

How did you get this? I ordered it and I’ve got to wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. I’m in the UK. A lot of people are complaining about the price, how much of the price is Tax?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

i was a beta tester

[@patrickbateman7444]

It sounds so damn good...as it should for that price. But it sure looks and sounds like they nailed it.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

I really like the sounds! I agree, i think this will be a awesome instrument

[@alecsbuga]

I notice each preset has its own chorus and reverb. Are these per track? Or you only have 2 send fx PER PROJECT?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

It’s per project just like the OP-Z. All the tracks share the same effects and you can only decide how much each track gets.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Sorry this is not true

[@zanza_the_rewolverine]

I can chop samples on this like mpc?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

hopefully in the future but not at the moment(you can do very tedious chopping now)

[@alexanderbrand5219]

Hello, really enjoying the content with the OP-XY! Some of the best I've found on KZbin so far :) I'm not a huge fan of HDR content on KZbin tbh. I think SDR is a bit more comfortable to watch, especially if it's just some hands on a desk. HDR is good for high contrast situations, which this is not. Another thing I've noticed is that your auto-white balance is turned on, which I would definitely turn off. Keep up the good work! Love your music :D

[@ConBombs]

It’s a super expensive toy for adults. I’m totally getting one.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

That’s the spirit 🤣

[@magicalsynthadventure3216]

The graphics are really lovely & engaging, but those synth engines are incredibly basic, I’m kinda shocked by how limited the device is, considering the price.

[@D3ROXX]

I’ll purchase a Polyend synth to enjoy Xmas time… 🥹

[@Sanjiocom]

They actually sound pretty good in real life. I combined it with sampling in sounds from something like e-osmose, ends up being quite a versatile little portable unit.

[@D3ROXX]

@@Sanjiocom they really do.... it's amazing and very creative, you feel that u own something very solid.

[@muzixco]

should be called Teenage Racketeering or Teenage Profiteering lol

[@DrFearCo]

Don’t buy it?

[@Ancaja123]

I don't think the synth engines sound all that great, not to be a hater. I definitely like some of them, but idk. Many sound very thin. Multisamples are a different story. That's what I would use this synth for more than anything. Can you use the same synth engine across multiple tracks?

[@Ancaja123]

I should clarify, I only feel that way about some of them so far. Prism, dissolve, and the wavetable synth are fantastic.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Multisampler is looking better and better

[@meip_does_ai]

It is engines from op-z with different names

[@Shimmery.mp3]

the audio quality of the DAC makes them so much better

[@MyNameJeff..]

How are these small channels getting one??

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Yeah save some for the big guys that earn the big bucks!

[@void7777-v7t]

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

“This sound is nice “ dude I’m hearing a sine wave with reverb , for the price asked I expect more , way more. But i agree it’s a nice toy for rich people

[@MyNameJeff..]

I can just sample better sounds into my field lol

[@Shimmery.mp3]

How would you describe ”way more”? Btw Clean Bandit got rich thanks to a simple sine patch 🤣

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Or you can sample them into your OP-XY

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

@ yeah like on the ep 133 ko ?

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

@Looks like TE also did

[@majorchutzpah7265]

I was gonna say you're paying for the build quality, but I see a lot about broken op1s.😢

[@raise-project]

Its milled from a solid block of aluminum, really nice feeling keys and dual dsp etc. I think the broken OP-1s is largely to the mobile or very frequent use. I still would prefer a 1200 eur price tag :D

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Very good points here 👍

[@dvamateur]

Does the price include a 200% China tarrif? I mean this is four Roland SH-4d synthesizers. I got mine for $550 at discount. Let me get three more before these go over $2,000.

[@BDKabrini]

$350, bruh... That's a fair price. $2300 is way too much!! I get the portability... But this better come wit a record deal and shows for 2300.

[@filo1210]

350 is ridiculous. It has a 16 hour battery life and many expensive components and chips . I think 1200 would've been reasonable

[@meskisable]

@@filo1210 16 hours means weak low power CPU. They mention its dual core. Nowadays smartphones have 8 or more cores. It has small screen and large battery compared to smartphone. So this battery life is nothing out of the ordinary.

[@filo1210]

please explain , in a sensible manner how you believe $350 is a reasonable price ........

[@meskisable]

@@filo1210 $600 would be reasonable, but even at that price it's hipster toy. Everything TE produces is very overpriced. For instance pocket operators costs about 3-4 euros to produce, but sells for 100 without a case.

[@baer_of_sidechain]

My favorite part about TE releases is the gatherings of economic masterminds to voice their educated opinions on what a product needs to cost. To the point of the original commenter: get a record deal first and your perspective on „expensive“ will change.

[@SmallWorldBigThings]

Very limited for this price. Except nice animations doesn't offer anything interesting.
