Almost makes you wonder why they bothered making an OP-1F in the first place, this just looks like a strictly superior device without all the inherent limitations of a tape-based workflow

[@ITATTRACTS]

Because some people enjoy the tape limitations.

[@trushreitsam5802]

Would be nice to get a few of these synths on a OP1f update. I prefer the tape workflow, so I think the XY misses me. If they're no longer updating the OP1f, it's a bit of a red flag for anybody interested in the XY.

[@supernatural802]

At $2300 this would never be leaving my studio let alone throwing it in my backpack for a jam session in the forest lol. Also, I have to say that as an op1 and a KO2 owner I have had build quality issues. My op1 now has 3 dead keys which can not be repaired and the KO2 had fader issues. I know opZ owners have had their share of build quality issues. TE had better got it right with the build on this XY or i can see some pretty upset buyers.

[@ForecastGrim]

Man! Thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[@BandH]

Thanks!

[@biiiiiiiliiiiiiieeiiiilisssshh]

Can it mute/unmute channels as easy as opz ? Does it have mute groups ? Can i connect it to a bluetooth speaker with bluetooth and not with the aux ? What is the maximum lengh a sample can be ? How do we name projects ? How do we select/search projects ? (10 000+ is nice, but if its not organizable in folders or searchable, then its a pure mess) How much memory the system and presets takes out of the 8GB? How much is really left for us to put inside? Are samples drag and drop as easy as the OPZ with seperate folders per track ? Or are they complicated as the KO2 and need an internet connection to transfer ? Can we easily back up the whole thing and easily wipe-and-restore as the OPZ? How long does it take to charge? The OPZ with its 40 minutes to charge was a charm compared to the OP1. Can i put whatever i want on each of the 8 tracks or are some tracks limited to a specific type of sound? (Ex. Drum vs synth) Can i built my own channel with 24 different sounds on each key? And if yes, what are the limitations? Ex. Maximum lengh for each key? Maximum total lengh for the 24 samples across all 24 keys? Does it come with a charger and cable ? Can it trigger external video like the OPZ? Can it trigger external lights like the OPZ?

[@germansaez]

The intro was amazing! :)

[@relative_vie]

I mean, I really feel like TE can implement all lot of the arrangement / sequencing into the OP-1 Feild lol. It’s software at the end of the day. The tape feature is cool, but just doesn’t need to main feature.

[@victorblancoarcas]

Hello, my question is the following: If you input audio "in real time" does the master track of the effects work for said audio in real time without the need to sample said audio? thank you

[@nyanko2077]

You do realise it's more expensive than a novation peak right? WTF seriously

[@ForecastGrim]

That’s like comparing a guitar with a drum…..

[@ForecastGrim]

Spoiler alert this does way more than the Peak. Peak has no sequencer. 16 voice polyphony. This has 24…. I get what you are saying but the peak is also not very small. This you can take anywhere you want with ease. As a synth player myself I’d choose a peak over this because I already have many other tools that do way more than this. But at the end of the day it has a market and the comparison you made makes no sense. People will buy this.

[@Banquet...]

Where'd you get 72 hour battery life from? It says 16 hour on the website.

[@kevindewinter8235]

this thing is basically an op-Z-ultimate. op-z was far more inventive with the bluetooth screen and video … we were waiting for a v2 opz… sure the XY is an excellent tool but not the same price range…I will buy one.

[@musicbyethan]

This is nothing but a status symbol and to be honest most folks are waking up to the fact they have been manipulated and sold out by trend setters on youtube making things appear way better than they actually are. I think people are less concerned about what the thing does and more concerned about spending over 2k on something that has the same substandard build quality using the same failure prone components as everything else they have made.

[@myprovideo7852]

fantastic video, perfect ! wish I had the time to learn it, though your demo showed very well how to use...... I am going to have to search for videos on just the terminology of the musical terms you used and effect terms, and so much. I have used Adobe Premier for over 30 years or so, but have no clue as to how to use the sound effect other then volume and basic equalizer.

[@BandH]

I hope it works out for you. Learning audio and how to use a synth is a lot of fun. You can create a lot of fun sound effects.

Just break my heart, It should be op-1f black edition. and should release new firmware for op1f.

[@RetroPlus]

TE are alienating even more musicians with this one, they clearly need to lean into more budget options. The EP-133 was a tremendous success, because people could actually afford it. A budget OP-1 would be a huge hit, something in-between the price of the OP-Z and the original OP-1 would be excellent.

[@harveytherobot]

They sell a bunch of OP-1Fs. And I'm sure they'll sell a crazy amount of these too. If they didn't the price would be cheaper.

[@VeloVios]

How can anyone see value in this device? I'm honestly thinking about never shopping at stores that stock this company. Actual consumerism traps with social media marketing. They push it for weeks or months and get all these weak minded people thinking they need the device and when they get it, they use it for two weeks and it collects dust for two years. Its pretty sad, because some of these social media producers are not bad, but I remove them all from my feed because they push products down everyone's throats. There's no difference between the ad on a video and the video itself anymore. Everything and everyone is for sale these days

[@bonwowo]

i feel like TE has two lines - cheaper ones with really innovative ideas and expensive ones which are just nice designed boxes. og OP-1 was something innovative but i cant find anything incredible about XY and thats kinda dissappointing, because they try to make it look really cool, when its like regular groovebox in 4 times cheaper price than XY. so i wouldnt say that whole TE as company is bad, but ideas with their expensive line seems kinda flat and thats strange. the cheaper ones seems really interesting, because it always looks like they try to put as much fun into them as it is possible
