Teenage engineering OP1 - Live looping [Thoj]

[@Stillxxen]

This looks so easy when someone who is good at it doing this.

[@aamedia_agency]

7 years later still on top!

[@wingoshack]

One of the best 'from scratch' OP-1 performances I've seen. I love how it so perfectly lends itself to a fast, free-form creative flow. It's something magical.

[@ThojMusic]

+Mike 'Wingo' Rathjen Wow, I'm really touched by your support. Thank you very much !!

[@teenageengineering]

Got skills! ;)

[@ThojMusic]

+teenageengineering Thank you very much for this awesome synth Teenage Engineering :)

[@TheSarosheffendi]

Give this man the Nobel prize in looping.

[@airatefac]

Wow!! Left my op-1 in the drawer for 2 months, and you got me inspired again! Thx a lot, keep up the great work.

[@ThojMusic]

+Michaël Metzemakers Thank you very much !!

[@austonianb]

Okay, gotta admit it now: this video and your other liveloop have been required watching before bed for basically the past two weeks. Just awesome work, totally inspiring.

[@ThojMusic]

+austonianb Ahah, happy to see I can help you falling asleep :) Thank you for your support by the way

[@austonianb]

Thoj: It's been a year and this song will not leave my brain. Back again to watch you just kill it. Thank you for inspiring many melodic thoughts.

[@ThojMusic]

Wow thank you very much dude ! I really appreciate !

[@SmemsMusic]

There are a lot of videos with OP-1, but this one is one of the best! 🔥💥

[@havenloss8107]

I’ve listened to this atleast 15 times and the bass gets me everytime! Absolutely love it!

[@garrylemark8554]

best of OP-1 videos in my opinion

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you bro :)

[@pinkyandhisbrain4914]

Hey this is crazy. Some of those sounds are giving me chills up and down.

[@LibertineLush]

I anxiously look forward to more from you. This was delightful.

[@ThojMusic]

+LibertineLush Thank you, I will put more videos on my songs and on my live with the OP-1 so!

[@MattGreerMusic]

I just learned a lot by watching this. Thanks.

[@MattGreerMusic]

+Matt Greer One of those bass notes is off key though.

[@thunguyenthiminh4506]

+Matt Greer i think its meant to be a blues note, im not mozart or anything though

[@dougb70]

Yeah, gotta lose the clunker in there. Otherwise pretty cool.

[@SphericEl]

Awesome delivery.

[@howardanderson3061]

Very impressive you really have a great command of the OP-1... well done. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@sinkingship101]

I had never even heard of his before. Impressive little machine.

[@ThomAdams]

I recently got an OP1 and aspire to this greatness!!! Amazing!!! loveandpeace.

[@griffinmcpherson16]

You are a wizard with this keyboard

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you :)

[@NothingNowhereNoOne]

Impressive mastery of the instrument. Ever play live with JUST the op1 in a live venue situation-or would you? I don’t see anybody doing that.

[@PxlFlame]

I got one of these recently, and I watched this and learned at least three more things it can do. Nice playing.

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you very much :)

[@ZevHoover]

that one off note was the best bit. made the whole thing interesting.

[@ThojMusic]

AAAaah finally someone who see beauty in mistakes ahah ! Thanks a lot my friend :)

[@J4ck1140]

@@ThojMusic not at all a mistake, that fully count as [what's called an accidental in music theory] or "blues note" and it fuckin slaps

[@MrNamaikisaru]

Wizard. Thanks for the shakeresque sound from the hats with the delay effect idea. Such a short loop but sounds so complete.

[@oliviathehero]

S/o to that potato chip crumb on the floor

[@Noodlewhips]

lmfao

[@timbient_ambient]

I like how it just looses it towards the end and tries to get involved as well.

[@awesomewinterllama1929]

Awesome work man! I laughed at the Doritos cumble at the 3 minute mark.

[@ddog3292]

It is not just the synth it's the skills. #skillz 😎🙌🎹🎹🎯

[@asganawayaway]

I love the way this thing is designed, is like they have created what I have in my mind but somehow I can't express because of the complication of today music programmes

[@ThojMusic]

100% agreed !

[@asganawayaway]

Thanks man, I've really appreciated your video, keep it going!

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you very much !

[@mfbfreak]

Some day, this thing will be as legendary as the Roland TR707 and such.

[@fr4ctl]

This is the perfect OP-1 tutorial video I needed! Thank you very much for this incredibly concise performance!

[@ThojMusic]

Thanks a lot :)

[@sholz124]

best nitro wobble ive ever heard!

[@griffinmcpherson16]

this is the most skilled use of an op-1 Ive seen

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you very much !

[@sgeorge1701]

Cool piece of tech!

[@WABEofc]

This is really cool!!!!!

[@ThojMusic]

Thanks dude !

[@atlantaguitar9689]

The layout and containing shell reminds me of my ancient Casio Tone VL-1 which I still have.

[@jaildesigner]

Absolutely awesome!

[@oscillated139]

A superb performance.

[@Reeznarch]

The crumb! You make the difficult look easy, great job.

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you very much !!

[@jimmyolsonmedia]

Nice dude! great work!!! I'm pretty sure I'm picking one of these up this week, been wanting one for years!!

[@ThojMusic]

+James Olson Thank you very much dude!! You won't be disappointed, trust me.

[@koryhays5642]

Fun. Well done!

[@CalvinWatkins]

Awesome piece man! You work that OP-1 like you invented the thing..

[@ThojMusic]

+Calvin Watkins (“DJ DejeXtion”) Thank you very much dude, I really appreciate your support! Do you also have one ?

[@CalvinWatkins]

+Thoj yes I have one in my studio and only mess around with it from time to time. But you really inspire me to get back into it.

[@ThojMusic]

+Calvin Watkins (“DJ DejeXtion”) I'm really touched, go play with it and send me your future composition dude :)

[@CalvinWatkins]

Thoj Lol...

Merci !!

[@rexrr1607]

Hey!Thanks for reply. I'm very interested!But,I haven't any knowledge of music.Would you recommend op-1 to me?Or....I should have some basic knowledge background about music?waiting for your answers.Thanks!

[@CorentinHarbelot]

Learn a lot from your video! Thx 👍🏻

[@coreyk9518]

I love when the crumb falls on the op-1. But seriously, nice track.

[@ThojMusic]

+Corey K Thank you very much !!

[@hautewire]

A love song to itself

[@ChaseDaigle]

Really great session, nice work! I'd love to get one but wow 899 seems steep even for audio... Yeah you could do it in a DAW but the interface is so nice and I could play this in my listening room. Looks like fun!

[@ThojMusic]

Thank you :)

[@Chetvertkoff]

Как называется семпл или инструмент или эффект на 1:50?

[@rubenreyesmorales9508]

this is amazing

[@chrisgalactic]

Great stuff!

[@sammonroe3985]

Amazing very fast

[@JamesSmith-gp3km]

These things are amazing and so much fun however there's nothing you can do on it that you can't do on a DAW so they are cool to have and use but you definitely don't need one. Am I right?

[@ThojMusic]

You are totally right but I think that this synth must be seen as a good way to enjoy electronic live music creation in a way that it has never been done before. It is simple to use and it is easy to transport. But at the end of the day, if you want to go further, you must go to your DAW of course :) It is a good and simple alternative to a DAW

[@Jonnyguitar1877]

Thoj can't you have both and run it into a DAW? Or does it not work like that?

[@ThojMusic]

Hi Chromaesthesia, yes of course you can import each of the 4th tracks of the OP1 individually into your DAW or record the whole tracks together in live into your DAW as well.

[@slackerxdssecondchannel4467]

Jack Juggers what's

[@aicapitan3279]

all you need is a laptop. some skill. and one good track - zak efron

[@EdoCification]

this sting is powerful!

[@BOSWAN1]

Thanks for the sample ;)

[@filipstevens6263]

awesome

[@dxmdzp]

that's cool

[@Astrozombie89]

Sorry, but could anyone tell me where the actual sounds come from? As in, are they built in or are they coming from somewhere else? I produce dance etc with logic pro x btw. I am just confused where all the sounds are being generated from. Perhaps I need a lesson in synths and controllers

[@ThojMusic]

Hey man ! Everything here comes from the synth. Inside that little box :) Nothing outside. No samples, every sounds was made with the original synthesizers available in the machine. Was it your question ?

[@Astrozombie89]

Yes, certainly. Thank you very much!

[@Txb73txb73]

awasome

[@babydemonlab]

If im using Ableton is there a way to sync it with MIDI CLOCK or something? thanks

[@ThojMusic]

Yes it is totally possible don't worry ;)

[@Axiboi]

Man i swear i can't stand that all the people in the comments say that there is a wrong note in the bassline, like HOLY MOLLY THAT'S THE FREAKIN' SPICE TO IT SRSLY. Do you have ears? That's why it's unique and awesome!

[@ThojMusic]

Well music is personal feeling so even if I meant to play this note, I can totally understand that some have a different opinion. But I also love your support seriously :) So thank you very much for this comment dude ! I'm happy that you like it !!

[@dwvidmacrea4301]

We're you talking about me

[@geoffgreenwood6968]

Thank you! I have read every other comment that was sour about it and cringed. That shit is hooooot!

[@AndreasDelleske]

Heyhey.. sure it's OK the way it is, BUT: Adding a "wrong" note like this usually indicates that you'll shift to another tonality (especially at that time in the bar!) or make a short excursion and then we're a little disappointed that it doesn't happen. Music is a game of expectation, adventure and coming home. The same note one ocatve higher would have resolved better.

[@gaiabioshop3656]

Great performance....!!! You people dontbe stupit about wrong bass note.... that is music and art... you can create things from all wrongs things and chaos... I love that....;-)

[@14Donuts]

it was cool man 👍

[@Robin_XI]

Is there another instrument like this but less cost ?

[@ThojMusic]

I don't know something equivalent for now. But maybe it exists. Let me know if you find one :)

[@jking8276]

amazing！

[@EstebanFrederik]

Excelente!

[@rob5standingby]

This is great. The one thing that drives me nuts about the OP-1, is whenever you switch between tracks in tape mode, while the tape is playing, you get a very quick stutter. It's illustrated several times in this video, e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q57EpZWQZdNno6cm3s. Has anyone figured out a way around this? It makes it quite annoying to do live performances.

[@dicewushemer3261]

Comment tu met la musique du op-1 Sur ton ordinateur ? How you puts the music of op-1 On your computer ?

[@ThojMusic]

Hello !! Tu peux tout simplement te servir de l'OP1 comme un disque dur et récupérer chacune des 4 pistes que tu as enregistré dessus. Ensuite tu n'as plus qu'à les exporter sur ton DAW (logiciel de prod type ableton) :)

[@twincamspit]

Casio VL-1's spiritual descendant. Love it... Shame it's so damn expensive!

[@chriss1152]

can you hook this to your pc ??

[@DiegoP1990]

muy bueno

[@tomsonfauster2290]

Super

[@ThojMusic]

Merci :)

[@cappie2000]

what does it mean when the tape turns red?

[@ThojMusic]

Means that it is recording :)

[@cappie2000]

@@ThojMusic Ah.. Red Means Recording... got it 😋

[@aboutphotography]

So good! One question. Is this streight from OP-1? I mean the file? Or was it recorded in the computer? What is the setup? Do you have headphones? Thank you!

[@sambapalito78]

gran trabajo bro

[@ALLstarprojecto]

this is sick :D:D:D

[@julianMantillaDA]

c'est génial ! quel de "dispositif" tu utilises pour envoyer le son du OP1 à ton mac ?

[@ThojMusic]

Salut ! Je le connecte directement en input à ma carte son si je veux jouer en live, sinon je transfère les pistes une par une sur ableton pour les retraiter et composer en ajoutant des instruments :)
