OP-1 synth mode

[@Digiphex]

Nice work. Amazing that any manufacturer will release a complicated product without tutorial videos. I mean look at NI Maschine and a full 20 tutorial set. That was the only reason I bought it because I could see how to use it.

[@lolitslea17]

very true. I'm watching these over again because my op-1 will arrive in 2 days! you're totally right though, good marketing tactic

[@lrrlrllr]

+Lea Mine is "out for delivery" today (UPS). Ive already transcribed all 11 videos in this series and continue to watch them still. Good marketing tactic I agree but even moreso (even) better customer support. Very helpful video series indeed.

[@lrrlrllr]

+Wavestrike Electronics Agreed. The only reason I could get an idea of the possibilities of the OP-1 (its potential) was this video series. I do read manuals, but seeing it in practice first was a big help.

[@0xRemedyx0]

thats probably because everyone who reviews these things is essentially doing that for free

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Thank you for these very helpful videos! Really love my new OP-1 so far and the cute sense of humor you have with apply FX is loads of fun. Love seeing the insides of a cow when tweaking FX.

[@PlutoniumSlums]

I’m gonna buy one sometime in the next few years lol don’t got enough for it right now tho

[@diecarly]

beautiful product

[@Synthgunner]

Just bought on of these, it's AWESOME!

[@binarystein]

May the force be with you ~ op-1 Kenobi BTW is there a Yoda Extension kit for this device?

[@MultiverseAndy]

Yes, but you need the Force cable though

[@turtlemouth]

Just got mine. This video is a big help.

[@gere364]

What program do you use to generate graphical things on the LCD?? Thanks! Cool project!!

[@gere364]

and for the GUI, of course. Processing or something like that??

[@1999Fabion]

I would like to know as well

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

gere364 Custom operating system/language

[@samnic1998]

I would have absolutely no use for this... i want one

[@aidanvinum]

How do I get the : OBOE, OCTAVE, OKARINA, etc. voices on the SYNTH engine? My OP doesn't have those. : (

[@JoeeKickass99]

My synth mode is not playing. What can i do ?

[@evolutionrhythm4416]

Shame the OP-1 dosn't seem to have anyway to actually program a patch from the ground up. It would be nice to be able to select Osc 1 - sine wave- Osc2 Triangle etc like on a basic synth. Though I've read these limitations are there so the user " dosn't get distracted " and actually learn more about the synthesis of sound.

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

evolution rhythm Dsynth has something like that, a lot more ground-up synthesis than the other engines

[@ianmathews]

You can use any synth and record in as a sampler patch. Not pure on board synthesis, but come on, I bought this to focus!

[@odd1876]

As an extremely easily distracted musician, I fully embrace the simplicity!

[@HDZEP]

is there piano and guitar sounds?

[@teenageengineering]

there are sampled sounds and also a string synth engine that can sound like string instruments.

[@Teddyrobinson]

Is it possible to add two effects to a sound? If not, is there an option to resample?

[@teenageengineering]

Yes and yes. Each sound has one effect slot, as well as a master effect applied to everything. When both are applied you can resample and further manipulate the sound in the sampler engine. Some sections in the manual to check out: Synth effect: teenage.engineering/guides/op-1/synthesizer-mode#5.5 Master effect: teenage.engineering/guides/op-1/mixer#9.5 Resample: teenage.engineering/guides/op-1/recording-external-sources#12.1

[@Teddyrobinson]

Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it

[@JustinMercelina]

Can you also use portamento in sample mode?

[@teenageengineering]

yes, sure can.

[@FADiNiNE]

please talk about the keyboard it self I want to know if it is reliable or comfortable and if one of them break what should I do ...

[@teenageengineering]

hello sleepless, thank you for your comment. the keyboard has a flat response and the keys have a distinct travel. it's not velocity sensitive but OP-1 does accept external velocity over midi, from any externally connected keyboard. it's not a grand piano but it's battery powered and it does fit in a backpack. it is very durable and also easy to fix should something break. iFixit sells all spare parts: www.ifixit.com/Device/Teenage_Engineering_OP-1

[@Jin-Hu]

I just bought a used one with two dead keys seq and COM, a new keyboard kit on its way to me from iFixit, can’t wait to access that sequencer! Awesome that TE make these parts accessible!

[@ItsMeShanalee]

I want this soo baaaad !!

[@mischulzed]

Hello! Is there a hold\latch function in synth? Im looking for a way to play a sustained sound wich could be modulated individualy with effects and LFO. Is there any way?

[@Tertium8]

Just bought one and of course it’s brilliant but when I shift between presets, it takes 4 notches until it reacts. Is this normal? The ones on KZbin look like they are instantly responsive.

[@Deanos2292]

Hey I know it's been a while but I saw this and noticed the same thing with mine. Double checked the video and can see turning in small quick circles, roughly 1/10ths around when he is scrolling between single options. I believe it is standard.

[@Rhapsolin]

Gimme one on the way

[@treeslouch2149]

Can you save your own synth presets?

[@housepetsoup]

+axyl rock yep hold down whichever of the eight synth selections you're on and a saving circle will appear. takes about 5 seconds to save. once it shows you a green checkmark, let go and it will be saved in a folder called snapshot

[@speedsterone]

Swedish House Mafia one

[@JacobKarrer]

Why does it cost so much :(

[@luuk341]

Because its SUPER complicated machinery

[@JacobKarrer]

Its not really that complicated

[@JacobKarrer]

Understandable, have a nice day.

[@luuk341]

It wasnt my intent to be mean or anything. Sorry if it came across that way. Have a nice day

[@JacobKarrer]

luuk341 ok 👍
