This Crazy OP-1 Trick Is AMAZING For SOUND DESIGN!

[@emr2710]

Hey Blezz I dunno if I'm a bit slow but what you showed at 5:09 really flew over my head. I'm still in the learning phase you think you could lemme know how I'm say?

[@emr2710]

The rest of the vid is amazing btw even for a beginner like me. Thanks for these vids.

[@BlezzBeats]

In the drum sampler - To copy one slice hold down the key you want to copy, press Lift, let go, hold down the destination key and press Drop. Voilans you have a copy of the parameters.

[@BlezzBeats]

Thank you man! I have a few more coming up that are much more beginner oriented but with useful tips you dont see in every video

[@BIGLARRY100]

@@BlezzBeats doesn't this just copy the slice so you have a duplicate slice?

[@c.s.armstrong]

slowing it down is what got me lol getting one now. thank you

Thank you so much bro!

[@flexheadfunk1936]

cool Blezz Beats op-1 sound

[@bagoftrix]

Op-1 aka the ‘wow I didn’t think of that’ machine! I had this nice trick myself where I slice up the sample and use the finger sequencer. Then you can play it in any key and get a sort of ‘keep the tempo, change the pitch’ style of utility. So now I know you kinda do both! The finger sequencer is also a great workaround for the lack of monophony on the drumsampler, when you need the chops to cut eachother off exactly and on the sequencers grid.

[@JoseFernandes-bp6rc]

Nice tips, thanks for sharing.

[@zmmayer]

I like the tip about nudging the sequencer pattern a bit to fit into the groove! Great video all around! thank you.

[@visualguerillaFILMs]

pretty useful! after years of using the OP1 its time get into new sound design approaches

[@iosmusicman]

That was blisteringly fast. You were on fire and I got lost in the thick smoke! Fabulous. I’m going to have to watch it again many times over. Cheers.

[@BlezzBeats]

Haha, sorry about that!

Yoo I like that comparison hahah, better than yung Bieber :D It's print on demand so it shouldn't be a problem to ship out there, they probably have a warehouse in the country. If you're wondering about shipping price drop it in the cart and check it!

[@MrJackal43]

“drop an extra one here n’case we fk this one up gnome sayin’” lol, exactly! Funny stuff man!

[@Mandingo_Cule]

friend in which daw do you pass your op1 files for mixing? and what equipment do you use? Do you use any analog hardware, summing in the box, etc?

[@BlezzBeats]

Dont really bother with mixing it I just record to a stereo track in Ableton Live, maybe a limiter and a eq sometimes

[@tele_alan]

is there a way to save a sound? my biggest gripe with the op1 is that i lose the sounds i make :’(

[@BlezzBeats]

Oh man sorry you missed out on that, when you're in any synth or the drum sampler hold down the current preset you want to save to (1-8) wait for the spinning thing to do its spin thing and you're set.

[@leanderlumen1868]

Great tutorial about the insides of this little glitchy beast. Thanks! One thing I recognized: You are saying you drop it into the sampler. From what I am seeing you are using the drum (!) sampler, not the synth one. Otherwise there would be no option for looping.

[@BlezzBeats]

Yep its the drum sampler, thanks for clarifying!

[@mraarone]

Great video! Stuff I had no clue was possible. Second… Is that red knob light blue to you? Might be missing a red receptor, my man. There’s some websites that can help you check if so.

[@BlezzBeats]

Thank you bro! Not sure what you mean but my receptors are good 😁 Maybe I said the wrong color somewhere

[@mraarone]

@@BlezzBeats just looking out. Had a friend in college programming HTML colors by values to make a red/green alternating “Merry Christmas” and he noticed when he made the green 0 and the red max, it still looked like green. Sure enough he took a color blindness test and saw he was missing his red receptors. He was able to get those corrective glasses and it changed his life. It’s hard to spot, but when it’s treated it changes lives. Looking out for you just in case, my man. Hope you have happy holidays!

[@BlezzBeats]

Wow that sounds really frustrating! Happy holidays bro 🍻

[@PedroAnastazi]

Or u can use an mc101/707 & use a programmed scatter, both of which are at least half the price of an OP1. Or if you're on a daw, you can use the $11 breaktweaker or stutter edit & record those into loops either live or prearranged & import into you're sampler ... Or if you're feeling oldskool, grab a Yamaha Ax000 or RS series unit & use the loop remix.. Which is actually even better for this lofi fad by letting you adjust sample rate on the fly... Oh & Even older school, grab a copy of ReCycle if you like these choppers but honestly, breaktweaker & stutter edit or the mc101 (at a quarter of the price of this) gives you MUCH MORE functionality ...

[@BlezzBeats]

Yeah or you can not do it at all even for free 😁

[@PedroAnastazi]

@@BlezzBeats LOL of course you can..:D The OP has a mic yeah... just do some tight beatboxing, grab a saucepan, some cutlery, maybe a cushion for some fat bass... LOLLLLL

[@RogueAstro85]

Yeah, but can all that last on a 10 hour battery and go with you anywhere? The OP-1 isn't meant to be overly functional, its meant to work uniquely so that you don't get stuck in a rut of using the same production techniques and be small enough that you can scratch down music spontaneously. You may not like it, but to just say that all the equipment you listed would provide the same things is silly.

[@BlezzBeats]

Billie Jean was made on it, just sayin 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@johnruschulte2593]

Nice video. As a Dilla fan I always think about what could have been if he had lived a little longer and got his hands on an OP-1. I think he would have loved it what do you think?

[@BlezzBeats]

Thanks! Probably, he would have made the dopest beats ever made on an OP-1 that's for sure 🤯

[@PhilipDViolin]

Hi all ! I recently bought my op-1… i do notice that the overall output volume is quite low … is that normal ? Also th radio function gives a lot of static and nearly no radio stations… the extra antenna does not make that much difference. Is this normal ? Any experiences or comments ? Thanks, Philippe

[@visualguerillaFILMs]

go outside with the antenna attached helps in my region :) Could you fix the output volume issue?

[@gutsberserker5476]

you explain it well, plain talk. real talk blood
