Nice! 🔥🔥 I'm going to check out that book as well. I had some amazing students at Morehouse and I miss teaching there, but I couldn't do the pay schedule that they started doing for adjunct professors back in 2018.

[@HennyThaBizness]

I hear you!

[@jrinventormusic]

Anybody on the fence, I’ve owned the original for about 7 years. I’ve used it as a midi controller for my daws, I’ve mapped it to control Serato and brought it on dj slots, I’ve used the 4 track as a notepad of sorts before I’m at my main daw, I’ve even bounced out some of those original tape tracks to the daw cuz the flavor was there, it’s all over an album I made called Gloomfeather on Spotify ;) specifically the tune Wonderful and Telechrome. This thing looks like a piece of candy but it is so damn powerful it feels like I’ll have it as part of my tool array for decades. Shoot I didn’t even talk about how fun the arpeggiator modes are! Thanks Hen!!

[@PrincessAGTV]

HENNY IS BACK AT IT! Great video 🙏🏾💜👍🏾👍🏾

[@HennyThaBizness]

Yes ma’am

[@peterbondmusic]

Agree ! Pro since 1998. The OP-1 field is one of the most inspiring devices I've had for years. Nothing does what it does, the tape model and portability are game changing. All the details, with the sequencers, samplers and workflow, are all designed to inspire, and they do!

[@HennyThaBizness]

Exactly Peter! Definitely worth the investment

[@BrandonRico]

Great work bro. That op1 looks dope especially paired with the iPad mini. But being able to disconnect is crucial. I’ve been dabbling in portable synthesis myself and it’s been interesting. Way to switch it up on so many levels this week bro . Let’s go!

[@HennyThaBizness]

Appreciate you on all levels my bro! Let’s go

[@ojmiles579]

Dope video (as per usual)! Isn't it ironic that the OP-1 Field has a "MiniDisc" tape option, LOL. What a full circle moment! Enjoy the new gear my brotha, welcome back!

[@drcentertainment4756]

I have the original OP-1 and I can tell you it's been a phenomenal experience to have. It produces really fat lofi sequences and I'm sure the OP-1 Field can take that even further with the different tape emulations and a new sound synthesis. Can't wait to get my paws on one. Thanks for the review.

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

Great details brother

[@vanmanjeff]

Dude! Please do more content with the op1f and beatmaker 3. I just ordered mine yesterday and I’m hoping it’s the perfect compliment to my iPad workflow ( bm3 and Klevgrand plugins mostly) I’m tired of lugging around 4 different synths, a mixer, a MIDI controller, a sequencer, an audio interface, and working in a box on top of it. I’m digging the idea of one piece of gear and an iPad to produce professional results. Also… I’ve spent way more than 2 grand on equipment so I’m not pressed about the price

[@lovesteersthestars]

Great stuff

[@HennyThaBizness]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@velanche]

That is a really sweet-looking piece of kit! I have enough gear right now that I'm slowly working in for future live shenanigans still to learn, but my immediate gear to learn is the SP404 MK2. I really do like what you said about focusing on the art and doing what it takes to put the computer and distractions aside, and some people who have already used the MK2 can attest to getting lost in the flow, so looking forward to that. I'll also get the "Focus" audiobook tomorrow and check it out. Who knows if I'll get into the OP-1 universe, because right now my first thing is actually finishing songs (yessir, Logic is lit). Enjoy the gear, and as ever thanks for being a continuous inspiration! Peace.

[@HennyThaBizness]

Finishing songs is everything!!!!!

[@velanche]

I just finished "Stolen Focus," and I had no idea how profound it woudl be. It's very much shining the mirror on the companies, and on us as users. I'm planning to do something radical this week, thanks to this book. Related to it is an audio book that was released today, "The Chaos Machine." I'm already sucked into the first chapter; it might be worth your time to check out. Enjoy your week!

[@HennyThaBizness]

Putting it on my list bro! Thank you

[@philmakesnoise]

Stolen Focus was good man! I enjoyed the audiobook. Thinking of the field. Like you said, its a lot but I do some soundtrack work in a semi professional capacity and I travel a lot for my other "day job." I've had the orginal and something I can add about it, is that while everyone knows its a great "groovebox" and standalone unit (with limitations) but it is also killer at the home studio if I just want to layer some quick synth/drum/sample based sounds. Really easy to tweak in a mix. I find other grooveboxes hard to add to a DAW song in post, but the OP1 feels like an instrument on that front.

[@mauadachi]

Great video! I'm also loving the op1 field! How did you made it work with the op1 manager app? Did you connect the op1 as MTP? It's crashing everytime I click on the op1 fun option.

[@SebastienBarrau]

Glad to see you back on youtube!

[@HennyThaBizness]

Thank you Sebastien!

[@joesales6894]

Dude you produce for Logic?? Man I’m just starting to binge all your videos. I’m finding a deep passion in myself to produce mix and master music. I’ve loved music since I was maybe 4 and I’m at the point where I know now it’s time to sit down and do this, this is my passion. And you’re being my gateway to this scene and I couldn’t appreciate your content more. Keep doing what you’re doing man🙏🙏

Is the op1 kinda like having an MPC and a DAW in one unit 🤔 so can you make beats and record vocals, like complete an entire song right there?

You can make beats and you can record vocals but it’s gonna take some time to record full records on the op-1 field. There are way easier options to make full records.

The ASR-10…sometimes I wish I had that instead of the MPC 2000, but I still made it do what it do back then. Teenage makes great stuff but they stay outta my price range.

I bought this a week ago before seeing this video, but you nailed the point on why it’s worth the price to some. The features (including the fact that the firmware updates already have been fire just imagine what’s next) alone make it worth it and I’ve had the original 2 years now. The upgrades are insane and the instant connection to iOS is super fast content creation on the go. All the things an entire room of synths I’ve got can’t do (at least I can sample them all into the field and go!!)
