This Man succeeded.

[@r_a_k_u]

This video deserves millions of views.

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks man. if you wanna show it to your friends, that always helps

[@jamisondonald384]

I've had an op-1 for years and never found a good use for the accelerometer until I watched this video. All of the tips are useful, really. Good job.

[@CyberattackWorld]

Thank you

[@paultstarr]

I've had my OP-1 since 2012 and this video gave me some new ideas. Also, the execution and aesthetic here is completely faultless. Instant subscribe.

[@CyberattackWorld]

Thanks man, glad you’re having fun

[@josepholney1]

Instant subscribe for Casino Night Zone

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks, that song really is amazing. BTW i cover some additional Sonic 2 material in this video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmK5ZIGqgd-tfdk

[@BlezzBeats]

yessss

[@RedHedDes]

Damn dude, glad the algo sent me your way. This was a great vid

[@CyberattackWorld]

I’m glad too, thanks dude

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Commenting to prove in the future that I was here before you got 1 million subscribers. Seriously dude, some of THE best music I’ve heard on the lovely OP-1, bravo 👏🏼👏🏼

[@CyberattackWorld]

thank you, please also make sure we are safe from skynet in the future if you can

[@matthewsharayko7463]

Loved the AC/DC cover!

[@StephenMcLeod]

Liking yer video style. Helpful tips too. wtf didn't realise the OP-1 had the accelerometer.

[@ericmosh]

That last trick is genius. Nothing I would do in a DAW. So glad I got myself an OP-1 seven years ago when it was "affordable".

[@zamphzibaha]

What a great video. I liked your theremin rendition of over the rainbow very much.

[@sunboy8303]

At 5:49 you simulated all my acid and mushroom trips in amsterdam

[@CyberattackWorld]

drugs are the pedal board of the mind

[@SWizz871]

For Those About To Rock.......That made me want to cry. So friggin' awesome . Was that all on the Op 1?

[@CyberattackWorld]

Actually no, I used some software synths inside GarageBand for some of the overdubs. There is some major glitch potential in GarageBand, I should prob make a video just about that. Thanks for checking out my channel.

[@flomotopia]

great tips, clear delivery, & some sweet tunes too... thanks!

[@michaelshenton5760]

Wow. This almost makes me want to buy an op1. It happens from time to time. Truely inspired. Good job

[@kononeko5654]

Very cool video, enjoyed every second! I love the aesthetic animations.

[@Cadesworth]

commenting to increase this video's reach bc it deserves it. Really really good work

[@Hasserfyllt]

what effort you put into the visuals = maaaaan

[@JuliaGarbe1]

Really cool stop motion animations with the retro figures, and all the visual filters and mario kart 64 backgrounds, such a cool vibe! And all the demo songs are actually melodic and sound great! None of the other OP-1 videos mention the accelerometer, these are awesome applications for it!

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks Julia

[@Tintin-yh2pc]

God fucking damn it, I love the op-1, and can't wait to get my own.

[@HanoiCreative]

This is fantastic - refreshing content not just how to build a track, and you also sound like David Blaine, which is a bonus! Great work man ❤️❤️❤️

[@PolThomas]

I adored the visuals on your vid. Beautiful.

[@jeromebazinetlemay3943]

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks man i'm chill as fuck

[@DieserEineee]

Yo this channel is pure gold! I love your editing and of course your tips! Thank you sir

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks, glad ya dig it

[@kcapkcans]

I really like your tutorials/reviews/lessons whatever you want to call them because they give me comfort that there are likely dozens of unused and likely unlistenable experiments for every decent idea. That sounds like a backhanded dig, but it's really not. The tunes you put in your videos are fantastic and illustrate your points so so well.

[@tgdkls5891]

Oh sweet Jesus this channel is so good. Just discovered. On my way to watching full back catalogue back2back, and starting work late tomorrow.

[@katanaxi]

I really dig your video art! Thanks for making this video :)

[@colinbrown8999]

For Those About to Rock sounds like a badass NIN song on this thing

[@CyberattackWorld]

this is exactly why i love the OP-1

[@jspiro]

Inspiring and a well-curated list!

[@ShawnyDsMusic]

This is the most professionally down to earth video I've ever seen on the OP1. Amazing work here dude. Love your tips, editing and personality. Cheers!

[@CyberattackWorld]

Thanks man

I also have a secret love for sonic 1 and 2 music. It's got me into the music game.

[@MrTheMrDude]

this is so dope!

[@DomDomPop]

This was both extremely entertaining and educational, and that doesn’t happen a lot.

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Shout out to this man... he's done his job here today ❤

[@sniglebits]

Visual style on point 🔥

[@elambi]

Great video just subscribed!

[@justinkinter8651]

That song you played on the touch sensitivity part got my sub instantaneously man, so effin dope. It’s like the theme song to 16-bit land haha, so dope.

[@CyberattackWorld]

16-bit land is my prison, and my paradise

[@L0K3E]

Cool video; fun and informative!

[@infernyll]

Fantastic video. Informative and entertaining. Love your editing too, have a sub! Keep it up!

for those about to synth! we salute you! wow man, that part was rad! I wish there was the full song video somewhere!

[@buttermediasolutions]

Amazing!

[@intheblink]

Oh man, I really wanted the coin effect after the sonic theme!

[@CyberattackWorld]

Oh god, now I’m tempted to take the video down and re-upload it with that

[@prestopasta_]

success - informative and mind-melting .

[@Salaundre]

Saving this. Can’t wait till I get mine.

[@freshmeat2501]

this helped me think ab the op 1 in a different way ily

[@CyberattackWorld]

ily2

[@velvet373]

awesome vid man.

[@taytaytazermusic2539]

that ac/dc re-interpretation is unreal

[@emr2710]

This man gained a new subscriber in me cause I just picked up my op 1! Love the bizarre vibe and the tips help 👌🏽

[@emr2710]

Also the last tip is a bit like the sequencer where you drop those orbs into the spinny wheel with different gravity settings right?

[@CyberattackWorld]

I think it probably is, but I never figured out how to work with that thing

[@tremendous2464]

You make really good videos man, I'm glad i found them and helped out little tamk man. This is helping me with op1 inspiration too, fanku

[@CyberattackWorld]

unfortunately the tank man died a horrible death in the jungle, however thanks for the comment

[@tremendous2464]

@@CyberattackWorld oh my god! I'm so sorry 😞 he was a good tank man. I will name my child after him.

[@charliethegent]

Dude your videos have quickly become some of my favorite on youtube and I watch a lot of fucking youtube. I love your videos the way you love #tppojla. Please keep it up, no one does anything quite like you do. I used to trash my ps-6 now it's one of my most beloved pedals. These seem like a lot of work, so thank you big time!

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks a lot man. #tppojla for life

Great video thanks 👍

That acca dacca track is so fucking sick man

[@craiglizt8074]

Now I want to buy one

[@LanceMillerSeattle]

Really like your video/music composition starting at 05:49. You took the plainest kind of suburban blah and made it art cool.

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks man. that suburban footage with that video effect eventually became an entire music video if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHqkYp6snZp0hpo

[@ltfringr]

You really cracked the code with connecting the gyro to the punch setting. I've been trying to find a way to fake velocity with the gyro for a while.

[@TheMachinesWon]

genius! that bassline on the 3rd track i think was fireeee

[@CyberattackWorld]

for those about to rock, baby

[@kah1970]

Damn this is a really dope (and useful!) vid.

Love the 'Superfly' cover at the end!

thanks, it was fun to put together

[@MoreanMan]

The theremin performance was an insta-suscription from me. Thanks for this, keep it up!

glad to hear it, thank you

amazing tips also love the action figures lol

[@JoseFernandes-bp6rc]

Nice tips! It was also nice to remember Sonic!

[@CyberattackWorld]

Glad you caught that

[@warrrmayhem]

I don't even have any of the devices you've done videos on, but it's been very mind-opening to watch them nonetheless. More people need to see your approach! Have you ever thought about trying to use modeller's inadequacies for something unique? Like trying to tone-match something that's impossible to profile correctly and what not. Take care and you got a new fan in Russia!

[@CyberattackWorld]

Thanks for this comment. Your idea about using modelers' inadequacies is great-I just don't have a lot of modelers to try anything on. But I would love to see what you could do with trying to exploit their weakness, I'm sure there's something there.

[@iosmusicman]

Ace! Thanks

[@NJTurnpikeExit12]

that For Those About To Rock rendition was nuts lol

[@CyberattackWorld]

that part was a lot of fun to put together

[@CyberattackWorld]

also great user name

[@wyattsikoramusic]

Great tips! That G force accelerometer is something I'm trying to utilize. I want to make a stand for my OP-1 that has a rocking horse style bottom that resets the op-1 back to a level straight up position when i'm not touching it, or even a kick stand to keep it stable when its not in G-force patches.

[@CyberattackWorld]

That’s a really good idea

[@timandtheocean]

dude what a cool video. and i was sceptical but you delivered a cyberattack. another way for virtual velocity is to enable the mic. ;-)

[@CyberattackWorld]

good call and thank you
