OP-XY: Making a Hip-Hop Beat

[@jasonfnorth]

Thanks for the video! Great to see what people are doing with this new device!

[@OCHOMANE]

This was awesome, please do more videos like this. 🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡

Like the style of this video

[@NicoHolloman]

It's interesting, I didn't like the beat for the majority of the video (nothing personal), but then when you put it in that slowed down at the very end it took on a refreshing new life. That pad is heavenly. And the drums sound cool pitched down. Thanks for this demo of how flexible the OPXY is

No prob it’s weird exposing my process because it’s mostly fumbling about, but finding something cool in the end is always the goal.

[@javiermurillo2573]

I was waiting for this, Thank you so much for creating it, I will try later on. I had found kinda challenging the process on the OP-XY, different than the OP-Z. Are you planning to upload another one soon?

[@danisimo1826]

Hey you see this device (op-xy) as a replacement for op1 field or its different devices. And do you have workflow of using them together?

[@virtualflannel]

They’re different, OP1 tape workflow makes it a one of a kind. XY is more like a super OPZ in the body of an OP1

solid

[@zanza_the_rewolverine]

I need this to chop samples 😂

[@virtualflannel]

Same, I suspect there is going to be lots added to this machine, so I’m very optimistic.

[@zanza_the_rewolverine]

@ this can be a monster… really cool this product… but i need that to buy that thing

[@virtualflannel]

I def feel you! Stay tuned!

[@sidtinsley6727]

Yo sick video dude! How do you feel about how it handles chopping samples?

[@virtualflannel]

It doesn’t have a slice function yet, but I’m optimistic about the future.

I'm boycotting anyone that supports Teenage Engineering. The industry is already tough enough, we don't need instrument companies fucking us with their greed either.

[@virtualflannel]

How is Teenage Engineering greedy? They make the 100$ PO series and 300$ EP series which are very affordable and great instruments. They are a very small company and the OP1 Field and XY are very cutting edge technology ahead of the curve. The build of their more expensive units along with their function unfortunately warrant the higher price tag. It’s an investment and a luxury, much like an analog synth or expensive rack mount mixing gear. I really want a Moog Muse, but can’t afford a 4000$ synth, but I’m not going to complain on the artwork of an artist who uses that instrument about how the company is greedy for making a product out of mine and most people’s price range.

[@batteries_not_inc]

​@@virtualflannel A) because I am entitled to my opinion. B) Because they are overpriced and like I said, accountability. Moog is an iconic and historic synth brand, not a luxury. I'm a designer, I understand branding, marketing, and product perception. That's what they are charging you for and I don't agree. You are paying for status. Tell me you don't feel "cool" for making this video. I don't want people to feel cool, I want people to be able to make music. What I'm advocating is that if we keep conforming, brands will keep pushing for profit and greed over culture and impact.

[@virtualflannel]

I disagree, this is more a window to your soul than valid argument. Food is over priced. This Synth is expensive, but it’s not overpriced. They are selling it at a price point that makes it a viable product to produce. They literally make the OP-Z a stripped down version for 500$

[@batteries_not_inc]

@@virtualflannel I respect your opinion.
