I was thinking about getting Opal and I came across your video, great content, thank you!

[@mrsherlockholmes1968]

This is such a great feature of Opal and really well explained too…Isn’t another tutorial on YT that explains this. So in theory I could turn my uh-e Diva into a Moog DFAM…..that alone is worth getting Opal..

[@jimmywheelo]

Thank you for the kind words

[@rickski1970]

Mint that pal. Would love to see some more videos of using Opal etc. Thanks.

[@pongtrometer]

Do you know how to map the opal parameters to a lfo?

[@pauldablue]

- I set it up as you helpfully explained but honestly i found the results next to useless considering the amazing patterns that already come with Phoscyon, it might just be me but I've not got anything useful out of Opal.

[@jimmywheelo]

Hey I get you. Phoscyon might have been a bad example for me to use and at the end of the day the parameter lock setup isn't for everyone. It's a matter of taste.

[@pauldablue]

@jimmywheelo - I've got a Roland TB-03 and I just got the new Arturia Acid V so I'm drowning in Acid lines at the moment 🙃

[@jimmywheelo]

@@pauldablue love the tb03. Nothing else comes quite as close for me.

[@VicerFx]

can I use opal for triggering only the effects and not the note?

[@jimmywheelo]

Hi, good question.
I've never practised this, but in principle, it would work. You can map the 10 controls of Opal Ctl to anything within Ableton that is midi mappable. Give it a go and let us know how you go on 👍

[@jimmywheelo]

Just to add further. If you don't want to send notes, just don't enter any and let the sequencer run. You can then parameter lock the 10 controllers to anything in Live.
Hope this makes sense

[@VicerFx]

I'm going to try it, thanks!!

[@MadelnMachines]

How do you save sequences?

[@jimmywheelo]

They are saved within your Ableton live set when you save as usual
