That thing where the balls fall out is a "bug" not a feature, but a useful side effect in this case of Euler integration! When the larger shape's angular velocity and circle's velocity is high enough , there is a chance of collisions between the edge and the circle not being detected because when the circles velocity (which is very high) gets added to its position, the position of the circle in the next frame could be outside of the shape and fall off.
Thanks again for a 🔥 tutorial! Also what really would help me (and maybe others too) is if you could mention in the title or description when the feature is also available on the „older“ op-1 (there have to be differences from the op-1 field to the op-1 or am I wrong?) This could also widen your target group I think 😅
would be awesome if te could provide a way to let the balls be assigned a note w/ octave value! like C5 or E2 instead of just C or E bc when you shift octave of the synth ALL of the balls shift. if the former were a feature, you could spell cool chords across octaves!
I was wondering if you'd get around to my favorite OP-1 feature (yeah, I'm more of an ambient/generative music guy), another great tutorial, thanks!. I'm assuming the velocity LFO is unique to the Field, can't find it on my OG OP-1. Seems like a nice feature, but I can probably live without it. Honestly, I'm on the verge of selling my OP-1, mainly holding on to it just for the tombola and the random endless sequnecers.
@@SONWU Um...rent, food, and beer! I enjoy just playing with the OP-1 but it doesn't really click for me as a music production tool. Still love the OP-Z though.
Hey Son Wu, awesome demo. Love your channel. I once saw cuckoo do this on the opz. So you know if tombola is possible on the opz without getting into matrix code?
He used a videopack in the app that had the tombola sequencer built in. I don't know if it was ever made public.(I don't think he has, but someone else did: github.com/Romano-Garmez/Romans-VideoPaks )
Yes - or just use an iPad. But there is nothing else comparable to the OP-1f, IF you value it's size and integration, battery life and so on. It depends what you want. I could lug my laptop, audio interface, mic, small powered speaker, minikey usb controller etc to a park and set it all up on a table. Easy. But at that point, why bother. OP-1f and hang in it's bag under my arm under my jumper and no one knows it's there, but on a long train ride I can get it out, plug in earphones (so as not to annoy someone) and sample the 'doors closing' annocement, someone laughing etc, sample a bit from a local radio station, get a meaty sawtooth wave and record that to tape, over dub record more saws each a bit detuned onto the tape, lift that tape and drop it into the sampler. It's little basic building blocks that you can combine to do anything more or less, and doesn't fell like hard work. For certain projects am I going to sit down at the Mac and fire up Logic or Ableton? Absolutely. But creatively I find the OP-1f a lot more productive because when I have to go somewhere I don't want to go and there will be some waiting around in the car for example, I grab the OP-1f. Oh - and when I'm waiting in someone else's car for example, which has no AUX input - I can tune their radio into the FM transmitter of the OP-1f and play through the car's audio system with no latency, unlike bluetooth which does have audio latency. So any old FM radio becomes a speaker. Could I plug an FM transmitter into my laptop? Yes, but that's something else to bring along. In the OP-1f bag I have slipped in a tiny Yamaha BT-MD01 BLE midi interface (it's basically just the plugs) and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and a 3.5mm to 6.5mm cable. I can have a step sequence on the OP-1f ready to go, and plug the BLE midi and a cable into any midi equiped synth i own - or a synth in a music store - and in a few moments record that in to tape, chop it up or resample or layer it. Very handy. So yeah - you can buy other (really good) music gear for a lot less $. But if I could only ever have one music making device it would be this - even though I'd miss the keys of any of my workstation synths.
@@SONWU i'm sure it does but most of those experimental instruments are also available as ableton plugins. I really don't see the point in one of these. maybe if you travel A LOT. but at that point i'd just get a lighter laptop
How about this I have a new MacBook, and iPad,an akai mpc keys 61, a bunch of vsts, I have a TX 6 and I’m buying and an op1 field why? Because I use them all at different times depending on how I feel creatively no reason to pick between them when u can have them all
@@curtisthacreator2231 i aint gonna drop over a grand on this just because i "feel differently creatively". justify it how you want just feels like the saying "a bad workman blames his tools". not to say you are or this synth is a bad tool. but for the cost it brings nothing new to the table apart from its size.

Love it! The velocity LFO tips are so creatively useful
Thanks, glad it helps!

Cool, thanks for the info!
Absolute masterclass on this beautiful instrument as always, SON WU. Keep them coming, these are gems!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I really love your videos for the OP-1 field. Keep going - I'm just starting on my OP-1 and you help me a lot 👍
That's nice to hear. Enjoy learning!
The tambola sequencer is so weird and fun. 😁👍
Yes indeed...I love just exploring the elements of this device!
This is my least used sequencer-- but I'll give it another try thanks to your video. Thanks!
Enjoy!
Thanks again for a 🔥 tutorial!

Thanks for the feedback! I forgot that!
Thank you for doing the good work, sir.
As always, my pleasure!
Woah! This is so cool! Wondering how it would sound if you drowned it in a lake made out of Airwindows' Galactic reverb😲
I don't know that reverb, but I gues...good!
Great series!
Thanks Peter!

Yeah sadly it seems to be unique to the field...what are you getting instead? ;)

Enjoying your vids, can't wait for my OP-1F coming in the mail!
Nice, enjoy!

@@SONWU Thank you!! May your legend live on!
Is it possible to use op-1 sequencers to control iOS music apps like it was an external controller for it?
Yes, the sequencers also send MIDI notes out!
Great tutorial video 👍🏾 but I still don't see any practical use for this "sequencer" with the style of music I create 🙁
Create drum fills maybe!
these balls
Balls to the wall
cool box of tricks but for the same amount of money, or less even, you could buy a very good laptop, any DAW you want and a bunch of VSTs

It invites experimentation!
