OP-XY | CLANK | Another ode to SOPHIE

[@Jazerblazer]

Hell yeah!! Getting Autechre vibes too

[@MichaalHell]

Thank you ! 🎉🎉

[@navedrops]

Omg that tune just blew my mind! Dope!

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

This is the only OP-XY demo I've actually liked. And I imagine it'd sound even better in a DAW.

[@BIG1TOWER]

man this thing sound good . I may save up for this

[@MichaalHell]

It’s a cool device for sure,it’s turning out to be more flexible than I thought it was.

[@hexwavemusic]

Really cool composition, great sound design!

[@chrishlavaty]

Best work on this machine I’ve seen yet!

[@MichaalHell]

Thank you 🙏

[@briannhinton]

This doesn’t just sound good it also sounds fun. I imagine lots of components? I barely had an OP-Z, but it gave me lego vibes when it comes to building up a track. A lot of sound design can come from the components. Thanks for another great demo!

[@MichaalHell]

i find the general song making process to be extremely streamlined. Basically i explore an idea and then all of a sudden i have a song, composed and all. And that streamlined workflow enables me to go back and touch up some minute details in each scene. maybe the bass is to heavy in one scene or maybe i want a riser between scene changes, its very easy to just implement that into the song without messing up the actual song.

[@Cactuspractice12]

@@MichaalHell since the other guy mentioned the OP-Z, i'm curious whether any of this 'streamlined' workflow extends to the OP-z..like, is the workflow you describe comparable at all to the OP-Z?

[@MichaalHell]

@ it kind of is. But the XY takes it further with its song mode.

[@Rephazer]

Nice!! It's a great machine for this kind of experimental stuff I think.

[@Megallicafan18]

this is one of the best hardware jam clips I've seen in months

[@MichaalHell]

@@Megallicafan18 🙏glad you stopped by!

[@conn.i3]

This combined with a pulsar-23 would go absolutely crazy

[@tColorsinspacerecordings]

Wow. This sounds so good. You’re really selling me and probably many other people on this thing.

[@MichaalHell]

Thank you, no irresponsible purchases though!

[@Galfar0th]

Could you share the project file please?

[@MichaalHell]

@@Galfar0th it’s on patreon

[@Galfar0th]

@@MichaalHelljust bought it. Thanks!!!!

[@MichaalHell]

@@Galfar0th thank you for the support!

*Aphex Twin entered the chat.* I wondered if I was getting a headache AND turned up the volume at the same time. I guess it hurt me in all the right ways. 10/10

Cringe

[@el_dani]

Machinedrum has finally a worthy (also from financial standpoint) IDM successor!

[@MichaalHell]

@@el_dani lol true. When we get drum synths in the XY then we gonna 🚀

[@elementlab41]

This is sooooo good! ❤❤❤

[@OoraMusic]

This was really good!

[@MichaalHell]

Thank you!

[@DylanParisMusic]

this is awesome!

[@pagodaa100]

This is Epic...

[@samprock]

Phunn! I like the grand finale sound 😊

[@Galfar0th]

Mind you showing how to create such track from scratch?

[@sillyworm]

Ha Ha..sure

[@MichaalHell]

I mean, ugh! I really suck at doing tutorials and I hate doing them on top of that. But maybe, don’t rule anything out 😊

[@sonofluck7352]

@@MichaalHell I also think this would be really interesting :)

[@Galfar0th]

@@MichaalHell even unedited 40 minutes you playing without a single comment would be cool!

[@MichaalHell]

@@Galfar0th Noted! i wish i had the tenacity to do a @Jayhosking style video, but just setting up the text proprtions to make it readable on any device is really hard. and then you have to try and remeber what you actually were doing and try and type that out on. Maybe i could use the speech to text feature on the TP-7... anyhow i hear you and ill look into it :)

[@HyperNomadDJYu]

Nice!!!!! I love this sound like eurorack

[@cvio_]

brutal sound!

[@robertjamesonmusic]

Looks incredible

omg~! This is where its at.

What about exporting projects in your daw?

[@teknobryan]

Is this using samples for the drums? Like for the snare and kick?

[@MichaalHell]

@@teknobryan yes

[@sillyworm]

Fun!!!!!!!

[@Moustique-yf4bl]

YES !

[@godboat.]

what engine did you use for the drums

[@MichaalHell]

@@godboat. phase is a preset I often use. I think I used woodbox as well. Probably some more as well

[@boogway]

nice compositions but it simply sounds so shitty and irritating compared to a monomachine

[@jessarc6715]

it's a pity they (TE) don't spend more time on audio, not one demo of this device sounds right to me at all... On the other hand, very good composition and sound design!

[@MichaalHell]

@@jessarc6715what is right in this context?

[@MichaalHell]

I would argue it sounds more filthy than shitty. But different strokes and all that..

[@jessarc6715]

@@MichaalHell you're right I didn't want to remove any worth from the XY. It's only that TE devices don't sound right to me, I'm not an expert on audio programming by any means so I cannot elaborate on this more... so obviously it's only a subjective opinion. On the other side, I don't like to end my comments on a negative side, so I will say I honestly think we should have more companies like TE bringing brave stuff such as this and all previous devices to the market.

[@MichaalHell]

@@jessarc6715 it is subjective and it’s ok to feel like something doesn’t sound good, but it’s not an absolute truth. And yes, it doesn’t sound like a Monomachine, firstly you have a much deeper sound engine in the MnM, but then you have the old DAC adding that extra spice. I don’t know if you’ve ever owned a MNM (I have twice) but it kind of sucks at doing other stuff. Trying to do VA stuff is almost cringe inducing.
