I've just been at a really great gig (Onipa [UK]) and even still have half a pint from the venue that's right near my gaff. So I'm sat down with a drink and just sort of absent mindedly clicked on your video. It just felt like a close buddy showing me what the op 1 is about. Super relaxed. Very enjoyable. I'm not bored by any selling point nonesense. Just listening to some music nerd talking about a thing they like, which is what I'm all about. Cheers buddy.
This is kinda weird but we seem to be in some sort of weird sync, haha! I've had the OP-1 for about 8 years and I just bought a pico input to incorporate it with my modular (for exactly the same reasons as you)! Also, I got the Data Bender around just the same time you did :D Keep it up mate, I really like the stuff you put out!
5:40 Did you just do the Brian Eno Windows 95 startup chime by accident? That would be amazing if true. Also, how come this video has so little views? Come on, Algorithm, do your job!
Cheers Bob! I typically get the sounds from VSTs and my own synths/experiments. I'm currently working on a website where I can upload sample packs and presets, etc. Should be up n running soon!
You’re making me wonder if I should’ve gotten this instead of the MPC. It was definitely something I considered the price is a little bit much though. Do you finish tracks in this or do you run it through a daw or something? Also I was hoping to see a little bit more detail on exactly how you use it with eurorack. Anyways great video and very inspiring as usual 😎👍
Oh man... I reallly want an MPC! I think there's pros and cons to both...I want both lol I don't really write/finish tracks from the OP1. I mainly use it for live jams/improv kinda thing.
Same idea here, pairing the op with a 2600, but how do you get those clean sounds???... Do you use any kind of DI for the OP? Mine is always very noisy so I can't use it through a PA!!!
Hi there, I do sometimes experience a bit of white noise but nothing too bad! Are you connecting it with usb because that can create issues. But yea, mine is naturally pretty clean sounding!
@@TheUnperson No USB, I’ve tried DIs to PA, without Drive and no effects on, but it still remains noisy. Could be my unit, but I won’t take it to live shows cause with the amplification the noize goes crazy.
@@MisterAJ1982 The OP1 can send a sync signal on one channel and audio on the other through the headphone jack. Check out PO sync mode, section 10.7 of the online manual
@@TheUnperson nice! I need to try sync my OP-1 to my ALM Busy Circuits Super Coupe system that has Pam, audio input module like Pico and of course the wonderful Squid Salmple and MCO/MCF combo.

cheers man! I just checked out Onipa - soooo good! I hope they'll be playing in Scotland sometime soon!
Love my OP-1 the chords sound amazing and fun sequencers and cool graphic animations. Best portable synth.
Agreed, 10 years on and it's still the best :D

no way! :D I wonder what gear we'll get next haha!
@@TheUnperson now I need to get the Pico input module!

I like your old skool percussion kit. Where do I get that?
I already have bad GAS… Why do I subject myself to more torture by watching your vids?? Lol
If it makes you feel any better then I have GAS for loads of gear too lol
I need to sample from modular to OP-1 and chop up for portable modular beats.
How do you handle clocking between your OP-1, eurorack, and sp-404?
I have everything at the same bpm and just hit play in time (hopefully! :D) The eurorack bpm is set by Pam’s
Just ran across your channel. Inspiring videos ! Where do you find your samples? (Other than the ones you create yourself. Any suggested sample packs?

@@TheUnperson gotcha! When you do finish something do you use a daw?
@@planetplex yeah man, I put everything into ableton, even the live jams for a bit of EQ and compression ☺️

Are your samples ones you made yourself or got from somewhere? They sound great.
Cheers man. Yea I just make them myself from synths/vsts, etc ☺️
@@TheUnperson thanks man. I would love a tutorial on this sometime.
Great work. Loved the minced Radio Scotland 😀 Have you found a good way to sync the op-1 to eurorack?
haha cheers man! I ended up getting Pam's New Workout, which has BPM, and I press start on Pam's and play on the OP1 at the same time lol.
@@TheUnperson Ah, the lo-fi solution! I have Pam's too (love it) so I'll have to try that.

@@JosephHorton95 Cool, thanks! I now see 10.8 even mentions eurorack 😂 That'll teach me to RTFM! Will try it later.

Where do you find your more organic sounds to sample into the OP-1?
I take them from all over the place. But quite a few are from the free Labs sample vst. Really good strings, piano, etc :)

Hadn't heard of him before - very cool tunes!
