Best video I've seen on youtube for the OP-1 - makes me want to buy one! Teenage Engineering should take notice.

[@Digiphex]

If they make another shit radio before the OP-2 I'll have a cow.

[@BlezzBeats]

😂

[@stuntmanmadeit]

Yo blezz. Good vid. Just copped an op1. Can you do a beginner beat making video tutorial for newbies?

[@BlezzBeats]

I think I have a bunch of them, check out my OP-1 tutorials playlist

i learn something knew every day with this thing

[@forgottenmohawks8734]

But how can you learn something you already knew? 🤔

[@alvaroplol]

Steve Buscemi really got into music during quarantine.

[@BlezzBeats]

ha ha

@@BlezzBeats Thanks for the tips my man, love your vids :)

[@iosmusicman]

First video of yours I’ve come across (subbed thank you). Fantastic and highly entertaining.

[@BlezzBeats]

Thank you very much!

[@madblessings]

Your videos as so dope man, love that chord sampling technique

[@BlezzBeats]

Thank you bro!!

[@jamessusbilla]

thank *YOU*

[@BlezzBeats]

No problem bro!

[@bagoftrix]

I own my op-1 for a year now and 2 of your vids taught me shit I didn’t know yet… thank you sir. Btw can you skip the album to tape part by sampling using the ear and recording the album? I never really used album mode before really. I probably should

[@BlezzBeats]

Thanks for watching! It's a great wall to throw samples on and bounce them back, especially for longer samples or manipulating them in real time to resample. Don't remember what I said in the video so I might repeat - you can do tape to sampler with the ear but the ear doesn't hear the album in the sampler for some reason unfortunately.

[@Phoniq]

You da man Blezz. You da man!

[@emr2710]

The thumbnail 😳 bizarre and I love it! How do I learn chords blezz? Just Google/youtube or is there lots of theory for it

[@BlezzBeats]

You can definitely learn it with just google and youtube! Arguably its still theory, I never studied much theory though. Apart from just figuring shit out by ear, use something like Chordify to play along with your favorite songs. Melodics is pretty dope too from really building from the ground up, and Aimee Nolte is an incredible teacher.

[@emr2710]

@@BlezzBeats right on. Will get on it

[@MrJackal43]

Good stuff man! Tank!

[@BlezzBeats]

Appreciate it!

[@krzysztofbadyga4551]

Good tips thanks Men

[@neurospacedrifter]

How... Did you get your tape sections on top of the reels? Mine shows them on bottom and the reels above it

I am a fan of your videos. I have decided to subscribe. This is the end of this comment. Thank you.

[@BlezzBeats]

I am appreciative of your initiative! Thank you

[@EnochDark]

yeah this guy's good just like you ;)

[@denyel_]

thanks for the video man! i have to open up mine and fix the wobbly 1/4 input and the charging port i’m nervous as hell about it. got any tips for that?

[@BlezzBeats]

Find a friend to do it for you lol. I modded my GameBoy and it took 2 broken ones before I got it right. So if you absolutely must do it yourself (does it involve soldering?) Do some test runs on things that dont matter if they break.

[@denyel_]

@@BlezzBeats dude THANK YOU! i didnt realize how much ive been underestimating the repair. i’m gonna have to ask my computer builder friend for help

[@jazway27]

Aren’t the smallest dots 16th notes?

[@benjaminbamnolkar7015]

Hey Blezz Beats, this was a great video. Have been looking to get some help with some issues I'm facing with the OP1. Was wondering if you could suggest what I could do? I haven't used the OP-1 in a while, but recently when I charged the OP-1 & started it, I have been facing issues I never experienced before. In the Synth Mode: the blue encoder doesn't select synth-engines, however, all 4 encoders allow me to select the patches in the green list. On pressing the Tape Key, it is directly getting into the Erase Tap function, without having pressed down the Shift key. And when playing the synth, the arrow keys allow me to bend the note, without having to press the Shift key with it. But the arrow keys don't seem to change octaves anymore, it is almost as if the Shift key is pressed down constantly. A similar issue with the Help key, pressing it takes me directly into the tools setting instead of it indicating how much battery I have left. I did, however, do the Factory Reset, but the problems haven't gone away. I'm sorry to be bugging you with these queries, but it's fairly difficult to get any help with the OP-1 in India. I came across your video and was wondering if you could suggest what I could do? Any kind of help or advice would be great. And thank you very much for the help in advance.

[@EnochDark]

It's cool and if someone gave me one I'd use it but right now I'm thinking how much money I'd save getting a Tracker...

[@BlezzBeats]

Breuh have you seen the M8?

[@EnochDark]

@@BlezzBeats yeah it's small

[@BlezzBeats]

Too smol ye?

[@EnochDark]

@@BlezzBeats it seems limiting in terms of tactile controls vs the tracker. it's kinda how i feel about that Aeros Loop pedal which is basically an actual pedalized RC-505 with a screen and 1 more track. Both of these seem cool maybe for someone with space constraints or doing live gigs.

[@3sleeves]

If you’re ever looking for a custom screen edit hit me up, my goal is to edit every screen eventually and I can accept barter for my design services. Dig the video and presentation by the way, nice work!

[@BlezzBeats]

Oh yeah that would be a fun video! Hmu up on blezzbeats at the googles mail dot com

[@tz1371]

do you have a link to the video you talked about in the beginning ?

[@BlezzBeats]

Its not up yet! Switched the schedule up lol, will get back to you with it

[@astifcaulkinyeras]

@@BlezzBeats Did you upload it yet?

[@uniworkhorse]

Man imma need english captions lol

[@BlezzBeats]

You will get the lingo with time 😂

[@jordymatthew3330]

Clicked on this video cos I thought you were doing a topless review….imagine how disappointed I was.

[@BlezzBeats]

Loool the MPC Live 2.10 update review is topless for real ☝🏻 people got upset when I did that though, bought some nipple covers for the next one
