Thanks for the trick to put sample in synth mode ! Never used that and even seen that. Let's Go !

[@umonox]

[@Ricardoaugustinholima]

Nice music and video!! thank you!

[@umonox]

Thx Ricardo. Youre welcome!

[@forbesy8568]

Hey nice one ! I like the workflow ... after the digitakt i've been looking to get the OP-1 out of the case again . Good to watch a bit of the structure laid out as well .Thanks for all your hard work.Must admit i miss the jovial voice though :-]

[@umonox]

thanks mate! youre welcome. nice to hear that i encouraged you to let the OP-1 see the light of day again :-) my voice will come back one day, i promise ;-) cheers!

[@chatolars]

Absolutely great

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

If I get a travel based job I would definitely get an OP-1 plus they go well with Elektron gear for ultimate portable live mobile music rig.

[@AxelMuhr]

Great video!

[@umonox]

thanks!

[@LucienDavison]

Very nice!! At the beginning when you recorded the kick to tape, is there a reason for doing it this way vs lifting the sample from the drum sampler and dropping it into the melodic sampler?

[@umonox]

Hi. Nope, the reason is: I did not know that i can directly lift from the Drum Sampler and that only the Slice i lifted gets dropped into the Sampler. Have to try this out. Thx :-)

[@LucienDavison]

Okay, cool. I know you were layering later on, so I wasn't sure if I had missed something. Thanks again, really dig the track!

[@daslewa]

I did not know this, thank you milliontimes.

[@timstepp5512]

I really wish there was a synch start rather than having to hold down the record button. But great machine, still learning a lot.

[@HappyJesusDrummer]

Tim Stepp you can press “shift” plus “record” button and it arms the track without starting. Hit play and give yourself 4 beats before starting your track. This is my workflow.

[@originellername3062]

i dont know what you exactly want to do but you can hol rec then press synth and then a note/chord. this way you can change knobs instantly after the recording start.

[@oliviermissal8739]

Do you still like the op-1 after one year?? Is it worth it??

[@umonox]

Its still totally worth it. Although i really miss true Stereo Operation at times. But its a lot of fun creating and layering sounds with the Tape; just never gets old :-) Or using the more unconventional Sequencers with weird Effects and just let go ... at the moment its too expensive though! Its worth a lot, but definitely not 1400 € ^^ Thats definitely too much!

2:21 Minimal Minimal Techno (maybe add a "tchk")

[@KalleKohx]

How did you do the high-pass kick? That's something I tried a few times on my OP-1 but I was never satisfied with the result.

[@umonox]

Hi Kalle: Thats fairly simple (and a reason why i havent put it into the Video): Just put Nitro on the Drumkit and turn up the Blue Knob :-) You can adjust further with the Envelope Amount in the lower left Corner, add some Resonance ... this gives it a little bit of Movement. Very easy actually. Cheers

[@KalleKohx]

Okay, now I feel really dumb 😅 I tried doing this with the master EQ effect and was wondering if there is an easier way... Thank you for your reply 👍

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

You can be the next Richie Hawtin.

[@umonox]

thank you! :-)

[@sm1ttywerb]

Hey, was wondering what kind of audio interface youre running your op-1 through

[@umonox]

I dont have an Audio Interface. I record it via Overbridge with the Analog Four. Cheers.

[@bobz1736]

There's only one Red Means Recording 😉

[@umonox]

he "stopped" making OP-1 Videos though 😉

[@bobz1736]

umonox - ha ha yes you're right ... for now. Good work!
