the part where I am chopping the sample is muted, because there was a copyright strike…it's only short though.

[@L0K3E]

I think that you've taught a lot of us how to use this machine! You da boss!

[@SONWU]

Thanks, glad to help!

[@Neverisforever]

I love the secondary or tertiary options when working with op1 F. It really is just fun.

[@scottytooshotty1]

This is a great tutorial. Loved the beat too

[@SONWU]

Glad you like it! Thanks!

[@CNTRRNDM]

Einfach nur der Hammer, Alter! Mega abgeliefert!

[@SONWU]

🙏 Danke, freut mich!!!

[@cresshead]

KO2 on it's own. adding vocals is rather impossible right now as you can't sample and have your base track playing for timing/pitch reference of which you are singing to. same with sampling audio instruments like guitar, bass etc. you have to sample it disconnected from the track.. which has to be STOPPED/SILENT. Right now the basic workaround is having a metronome (from a phone app) playing in your ear for a bpm guide as you sample in the the KO2 or export the current state of your track from your ko2 over to your phone and play it in your ear as a guide track.

[@OrangeDrinkMusic]

YES! AMAZING SONG!

[@SONWU]

Thank you!!!

[@djcuvcuv]

fire bars. it reminds me i need to try dropping into other tape styles more and also need to record fader movements more too

[@SONWU]

👍 always happy to help ;)

[@fabe86]

Geile idee alles auf den OP-1 field zu recorden!

[@SONWU]

Eignet sich echt gut dafür!

[@beenmicrophone5817]

that sample is just too good, wtf

[@SONWU]

Haha, that's what I thought :D

[@elementlab41]

THIS!!! I’ve been waiting for a video like this since the KO came out. If anyone could do it, it would be you! Thank you!!! 🙏🏼

[@SONWU]

Thanks, glad to hear that!!!

[@tommyvercetti1873]

Exactly what I needed. My initial workflow was a little messy. Yours is pristine and well thought throught. Thanks!

[@SONWU]

My pleasure, thank you!

[@nothingfancygaming]

looked at the SP 404 MkII?

[@tommyvercetti1873]

@@nothingfancygaming hmm?

[@Paragraph8]

Nice summer time rap :)

[@SONWU]

Thanks!!!Weather here is fine :)

[@wiggesobk]

Fresh wie der Frühling! Sehr nicer beat und coole bars. Ja man es ist wohl besser die samples über den fader zu pitchen. Dann muss man auch nicht alle einzeln pitchen. 👍

[@SONWU]

Danke! Ja, ich mach das oft mit dem Fader. Du kannst auch vorm slicen Pitch ändern, dann werden alle slices dementsprechend angepasst…aber natürlich weiß man vorher nicht immer welchen Pitch man möchte.

[@djcuvcuv]

haha “i should midi sync them but….i cant be bothered right now” im glad im not the only one who does this 😅😂

[@SONWU]

For sure…whatever get's me there quickest :)

[@beatsandstuff]

Gotta love your tuts, I just made my first rap song (well, four 16 bar verses). How would you go about adding a prechorus/hook/bridge? I'd love to see you doing more complex hiphop arrangements in the future! (Btw, what language is that? Post the lyrics so more of us can listen to the message)

[@SONWU]

I'll keep it in mind…I've got a song arrangement video on the OP-Z, maybe that could help!

[@StopTheTapes]

Great Vid! Was looking for this! Would this pair up work even better with a TX6 thrown into the mix?

[@SONWU]

I don't think a TX-6 is necessary here. It's a fun tool and interface, but unless you need it to be portable, there are cheaper solutions.

[@AnKu1871]

Du hörst Dich an wie einer von Freundekreis - Geiles Lied !

[@SONWU]

Danke 🙏

[@gacckii]

Awesome workflow man! What is this watch you are wearing?

[@SONWU]

Haha…I can't believe how many people are asking me this :D It's a TIMEX URBAN COMMAND TIMEX, send me money already!!!!

[@FATBOTB4life]

so you can record song into the op-1 field? can you mix and master in it? that's a pretty neat setup if you can. I was going to order a sm58 to use for podding and recording songs

[@SONWU]

Well…I just do it very rough…real mastering is not possible.

[@Kevlun4]

AMAZING!! what song of andrea bocelli do you use? this sample sounds crazy

[@SONWU]

per amore!

[@edubbbeatz2166]

Sound like Johnny J Pac Old Producer

[@SONWU]

Thank you 🙏

[@andrewvigil7407]

Someone get this guy a medic cause this ish is ill

[@SONWU]

😷

[@nothingfancygaming]

would you say this dose anything better then the SP 404 MkII?

[@SONWU]

I haven't checked out the 404mk2 yet, but I've used the SX a few years back. If you already have the 404, stick with it, the EP-133 won't do anything new for you I think. The EP-133 really is just a simple sampler.

[@nothingfancygaming]

@@SONWU cheers

[@BrunoAntoniazzi]

Would you think EP133 is more or less capable than the OPZ?

[@SONWU]

Each excels in a different area. OP-Z is by far the superior sequencer. EP-133 is by far the better sampler.

[@gagealbright]

the drums are recorded unquantized here right?

[@SONWU]

No, they are quantized…you can see the Q on the right side of the screen.

[@gagealbright]

@@SONWU ok thanks. so quantization can be turned off on this device?

[@SONWU]

@@gagealbright yup, TIME & +/-
