Resampling on OP-XY is so powerful!

[@JayWhoopsieDaisies]

Thanks for the tip! And I always love seeing Rick Rubin's book sitting around on people's desks :)

[@paolofanin]

this workflow is amazing.... I use it also with the brain to sample chord progressions

[@Shimmery.mp3]

That is very clever! thank you for the tip! 🙏😃

[@captainlovett4724]

This is bringing to light how you can perform an entire set with the keys! I will be using this method over the arranger to sample multiple different patterns and add them to multiple drum engines and playback the patterns manually, feels more spontaneous and performative that way. Thanks for your videos!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

That is a very cool idea! Go for it! Since XY has 24 voices you can have several resamples from one drum engine playing at the same time.

[@captainlovett4724]

Ok, question. I can probably look it up in the manual, but how do you make each key in a drum sampler only play the sample while the key is held? Is there a gate/trigger setting? I’m thinking like playing the drum sampler sp404 style, with each key loaded with individual complete patterns right? I suppose I could set each key to choke every other key, but that sounds tedious. I still need to experiment a LOT more but figured I’d ask!

[@captainlovett4724]

Found it! Shift + light gray encoder switches between loop and gate when key is held.

[@ConBombs]

Awesome stuff keep up the videos they are excellent! OP-XY is was to freaking fun and awesome!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Thank you so for the support! Really happy you like my videos ❤️ i couldn’t agree more 😎

[@jasonfnorth]

I never like bouncing tracks since it is destructive ... I end up with something i like but with issues i cant fix... But you are definitely on too something... Ill try it

[@Shimmery.mp3]

You and me both! This still leaves me with some feeling of control. It’s a bit time consuming but you could basically bounce every track on it’s own as well as different combinations.

[@modularsoundbath]

steps longer than 1bar doing the record idea works for now but I like to program notes without using record I hope they give us an option to do so in a new firmware update soon! thanks for the content ❤

[@Shimmery.mp3]

You’re welcome! :) recieved some great workaround ideas from some heroes here in the comment section. You can change the scaling of the sequencer so it basically shows both bars in one. Or try to use the ”player” called Hold.

[@tColorsinspacerecordings]

Great video!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Thank you! So glad you like it :)

[@b3ch113]

You can use the "hold" player- to keep your sample playing, and make the track two bars. You can also press the first trigger, go the next bar and pres the last trigger on that bar to make it span two bars :)

[@Shimmery.mp3]

That hold player trick is pretty slick actually! :O I didn’t get the other way to work. But will try again! Thank you so much for the tips 🍻

[@b3ch113]

@@Shimmery.mp3 I think you are right,. I'm pretty sure I saw the holding across bars in a video, but it does not work now when I just tried it.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

It feels like it SHOULD work. Probably ment to work like you say. Hopefully it’ll be added in a new FW. Still really like that Hold trick! Very clever! :)

[@b3ch113]

@@Shimmery.mp3 Im thinking hold is perfect for chords. Or for a sustained base with legato!

[@mtchermy]

Can you change the resolution on the sampler track to bring both bars onto 1 page, then use the first+last step trick?

[@SkerryVibe]

Very nice! 👍🏻 If you change the key while resampling in the drum sampler the different parts will end up on the right key so you don’t have to browse for all the samples afterwards

[@Shimmery.mp3]

That is very true if you have an empty track to use! But in this example i had used all the 8 tracks already(on purpose just to show it could still be done) :) thank you for the tip tho! I will remember that when i do this next time 🙏

[@SkerryVibe]

@@Shimmery.mp3that’s true, I missed that you switched back to all 8 tracks playing there. But so a good workflow could be to have a drum sampler on track 8 that you could sample in to when the other 7 tracks are occupied and you need to free some tracks. It’s quite nice actually!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

@ no worries bud! That is definatley a very good habit to create! Will be sure to do that if I feel the track has potential :) thank you for the tip!

[@javiermurillo2573]

You're becoming the new true cuckoo! Those tutorials are pure insanity. Thank you for sharing.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Oh you are too kind! 🥹 Cuckoo is a legend and a really nice guy. Met him briefely last year. Thank you for watching my videos! It makes me so happy that fine people like yourself find them inspirational ❤️

[@jeroendeclercq7580]

It still looks like it should be priced like an Ableton Move or a Polyend Tracker

[@lemonrain2741]

Chop, mangle, put in a stew!

[@Shimmery.mp3]

🤣🤣🤣

[@drdracula]

So is there a way to reset all those parameters that are left over like lfos, sends, filters … when you start a new sound engine? Or is manually correcting them the only way? You could create a blank engine preset and load that I guess

[@Shimmery.mp3]

I havn’t found a way to get a fully blank track, no. The blank present idea is a very good idea 👍

[@relative_vie]

anyone figure out how to copy and paste a sound on the drums sampler to place it on another pad (slot)?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Unfortunatley not. Don’t think it’s implemented yet.

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

How do you drag in your own sample of a house chord to the drive for example, make it mono, and name a preset patch with it?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

You connect XY as an MTP to your computer and drag the sample in the samples folder. Then you can access it in the sample library. Will try to do an import vid when I’m feeling better from my cold 🫶

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

@@Shimmery.mp3 I figured all this out but there is one thing, there is only forward and reverse by holding shift. I don't see any other options like one shot, etc. So it loops when you hold down the key.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

@antikytheramechanism7909 while holding shift try pressning the encoder that controls the fading of the loop points. It’s the second one on the right. If you press it twice it should say ”loop off”

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

@@Shimmery.mp3 Thank you! I seem to recall on OP-1 Field that I could see the markers for loop points, start, end, etc. Here they are black on top of black so you cant really see them to like with a pad set your loop point it is difficult to see.

[@Shimmery.mp3]

I totally agree with that. They are really hard to see in the monochrome unfortunatley

[@reneeschke]

impressive and surely useful. but now we are working with audio. I'm wondering if theres a way to do something similar with midi. lets say all 8 tracks use drum sampler and each track is dedicated to one sound for easier programming (elektron style) - now when you are happy with the beat, it would be awesome to combine all the midi in one track!

[@jantuitman]

If you press one of the keys on the drum kit and then press the recordbutton while the key still pressed, it will “zoom in” on the one drum sound, so this feature makes drum programming pretty easy with all the sounds on 1 track.

[@reneeschke]

@jantuitman Forgot about that! thx Does it "keep the zoom" when you change bar pages?

[@jantuitman]

@ actually, it was a bit worse than I remembered it was when I tried it out. You have to press a trig, than press record while keeping the trig pressed, and then keeping the trig pressed. So, no relaxed cup of coffee in zoom mode, keep a finger on a key. But the good news: you can switch bars while doing this. You can even lengthen the pattern while doing this. It is not the holy grail ( no editing of step components for example), but it is a handy help to quickly place / inspect trigs while not getting confused too much

[@reneeschke]

@@jantuitman thx for the in depth explanation. sounds like my "midi squash" or "midi resample" method would be nicer for dealing with intricate drum patterns.

[@tombasports]

Important question I thought all your drums could be on one track? Using track 1 as a 24 note drum kit and then having tracks 2-8 be melodic? Is this not possible?

[@Shimmery.mp3]

Good question! For this example I wanted to split up the drums just so the point of the workflow would come across a bit better. But you can do all drums on one track just as you said! :)

[@tombasports]

@ lovely saving up for one

[@Shimmery.mp3]

I think you’ll love it 🍻

[@knobelfix]

you might want to process the drums as well - you can add much more character to your sound by using more than one drum track and dialing in the settings a bit. (And/Or you resample individual hits)

[@Shimmery.mp3]

That is a very good point
