Generative ambient on OP-XY

[@hgvkhnssn]

Finally someone show the generative side of the op-xy. And what a show! 🤟 keep it up!

[@ondraJams]

Well said 🙏 really an amazing piece od generative showcase. The best i have seen so far and by a lot!

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

This is in my top 5 OPXY videos.

[@ondraJams]

I cannot wait to see more from you where XY is the central part 🙏 it is glorious 👍 Such a nice piece of equipment, i wish i could afford it. One day, I know i will grab one too 😊

[@Demovermusic]

Wow! I’ve found my new meditative and sleep music all in one! It really reminds me of Kodomo and BOC, congratulations! ^^

[@ohstanley3058]

This thing can do everything!

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Love it! Good stuff!

[@turzbot]

good shit

[@rvernon]

Sounds great. What is that little monitor scope thing?

[@TJ-bx5px]

Nice Grovebox

[@martronimous5607]

Love this! Is there a playback setting that lets you run it through a tape loop without recording? I'm curious how that works!

[@pierresgenerativemusic]

It has three heads so it continuously records, then play then erase the audio on a tiny little portion of running tape, the loop is just a convenient way of not having to run through kilometers of tape.

Eavesdropping ❤

shaking me !

[@HeartWerk]

This is lovely. Who makes that waveform display?

[@KINGJADEX]

I'm curious as well!

[@ilyamiskov]

@@KINGJADEX It's called Soundwave III by DidDugDiy. He is sometimes drops these on Etsy in limited runs.

[@KINGJADEX]

@@ilyamiskov Gotcha! Thank you!

nice sound what is the name of the gear beside of the MARANTZ & OP-XY ? is it digital to analog converter? Could you share the brand &model no? thank you

[@ar8ch560]

I think that's a visualizer from DigDug DIY. They're a maker that doesn't have regular stock of them, you just need to keep an eye out for when they drop or sign up for their mailing list.

@ thank you it is hard to find I think

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Can you bring in wavetable waves? Hopefully that question makes sense. 😂

[@pierresgenerativemusic]

I don’t know, i haven’t really plugged it in my computer yet

[@alleancore956]

hey! just curious to know what you mean by "running through the tape" is it either recording or playing, no?

[@pierresgenerativemusic]

No there are tape recorders that have three heads, so that you can record and play back at the same time so the sound is made analogue which is a sort of filter that sounds a bit more lofi, warm and distorted.

[@wholeheartedsongs]

Beautiful little generative loop. Is the tape loop constantly getting recorded onto from the synth or vice versa?

[@pierresgenerativemusic]

Yeah it’s got 3 heads so it can simultaneously record the OP-XY on tape and then the third head plays the tape sound which is what you hear. FYI The tape loop in about 10s long so where the tape is spliced you hear a little dip in volume, quite subtle but the character of the sound gets altered quite a bit which is what I was looking for here. They say tape glues it all together. What do you think?

[@wholeheartedsongs]

@ yeah it has really nice texture to it. I think I have a similar tape loop that I purchased online. It looks similar in design. I'm still confused though so is it constantly overdubbing or recording to tape and then playing it back? It's just weird because normally if you're in recording mode, it's not playing it back at the same time.

[@pierresgenerativemusic]

@wholeheartedsongs most tape deck are two heads: erase and a head that can either play or record. On a three head deck you can do all things simultaneously. It’s not overdubbing because the erase head resets the tape just before it gets recorded and played… and erased again. In this configuration it’s basically a sort of digital to analogue converter…

[@wholeheartedsongs]

interesting I wonder if that would work on my task 4 tracks. I'm pretty new to tape looping

[@dokertimusic7934]

This is most compelling use of the XY I’ve seen to date - and like many of us recently… I’ve watched too many 🤕 - and I’m wondering if you’d explain to us exactly what is going on here? It’s exactly the kind of music I’d love to make more of and in deciding on the OP-XY, I’d really appreciate knowing how much of these sounds were generated on OP-XY and whether you’re just recording to tape for warmth? Many thanks

will showcase your breakdown on this?
