THIS FEELS LIKE AN EXTRA PRESENT!! Now it’s really much better than the original op-1🤩😍🤩
This is a very impresive demo SON WU. Excellent. You nail it and demonstrate the incredible power of this TE update. The only “problem” of the OP1 was it size factor compair to it’s incredible creativity…a bit like a violin. If you don’t know how to play it, you can’t understand it’s value. We are good for the next 10 years of fun, pleasure, and quality with this OP1-field and demo like yours.
Thank you very much! I can understand that some people get frustrated with it, because of the limitations. But that doesn't mean it's a bad instrument....just not meant for them. Don't buy a kick drum, if you want a guitar sound :)
well said!
This is the best update! I mean it also leads me to believe they will give us more in the future.
I think so too!
TE gave the OP-1 audio interface mode 10 years after release. So yep
Most definitely. The OP-1 original had a great update cycle just most people missed it because they didn’t find out about the device until after 2016. But those first 5 years had new effects and synth engines added yearly.
I really appreciate your videos , thank you
You can reset the pan to its center position by shift + click the orange encoder
Have a great day
Thanks!
I realized that too...after filming :)
Your videos are amazing man!! 👏 I can't thank you enough. Please keep up the great work. I definitely want a private lesson soon too. That's too cool that you do that.
Thank you very much! Looking forward to our lessons :)
Thank you so much - so much to explore and really appreciate your clear explanations - I have learned so much from your videos
Thanks, Great to hear that!
Thank you!!! BTW - the strings section was the BEST demonstration of how & why this is so cool! Thank you!
Thanks, glad you like the tips!
Awesome video as always and great tips! Thank you!
🙏
This is wild. Great demo. I've been putting off making an video with the OP-1 field but maybe this will push me to finally do it XD
Thank you and good luck!
Thanks!!! 🎉 Great vídeo as always
Thanks for watching!
Again, thanks for the inspiration. Some usecases I didnt think about :)
Thanks, that's always nice to hear!
Great video and a really good update. I still love my OG OP -1 and have had the OP-1 Field for 2 weeks and love that too. My top 2 upgrade wishes would be the ability to save multiple Endless Sequencer patterns as I would like to reuse sequences when I hook it up to my MIDI setup (iMac running Reason 12 and Live) and my 2nd wish is to be able to back-up straight to USB C memory stick rather than having to back up to a Mac or PC.
Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks! Yeah saving multiple sequences would be great!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thanks!
Great demo!
🙏
WHOOP WHOOP! Now the OP1 Field has everything!
Great as usual 🤙👍
Thank you!
Imagine how amazing that would be if they could somehow implement a virtual pitch bend wheel via the accelerometers. We could juste slide our left index on the left side of the OP-1F and that would be registered as a pitch bend (kinda like on the OP-Z but with a sliding motion instead of pushing). I think that would be more convenient than using the shift button and having to move the OP-1 in the space.
I don’t know if it’s a good idea or even if it’s possible but I requested the feature on TE’s support page !
Yeah, that would be nice indeed! Great idea....reminded me to play more with the G force sensor. Thanks!
My fav synth in my studio
thank you so much for this video!
No worries!
i downloaded the update asap yesterday, i only understood the real potential after this video!
Thanks! And there’s much more you can do with this
That.... that's impressive as hell!
This is really cool. I love this machine.
Same here...now I am hoping for some sequencer improvements. But either way, so much fun!
Great update, but even greater demo ❤ you make the op more and more worth 2k 😊 👍
Thank you!!!
Great update indeed! Good work from you too! Wanted to ask you about usb audio from op-z to the field, didn’t you get that to work? Thought I saw it in one of your videos but can’t remember which one. Thanks
Yeah, the OP-1 field functions as USB-audio host....and the OP-Z as an interface, so you can hook them up.
Very good day for us Son wu
Thanks for the tips :)
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
This was an average purchase at first, now I’m loving my decision holy heck
Pleasant surprises are always nice!
great! thanks sir!
My pleasure!
Hey Son ! Thanks for the update's review. I just received my OP1F and i'm a little desappointed with the quality of my keyboard. A fiew keys are "clicking" occasionnaly when I press them. Have you the same problem with your keyboard or is my product is bad ? Thank you !
Thank you! Mine did it too, but I don't notice it anymore...maybe it just needs a little while to get worn in.
@@SONWU Ok so you think that with some time playing with it, it will be ok ? Good to know. Thanks for your work, you deserve more visibility ;) cheers !
@@Gatohori I think so, give it a little time!
And thank you very much, feel free to share, comment and like...it always helps :)
would you recommend getting the OP-1/OP-1/OP-Z I am relatively new to synth however i have been making music for some time - i am looking for a device that can make music on the go? pretty sure all of these do this tho .. thanks
Are you used to classical instruments? If you can play the piano in time, I'd say the OP-1 field would be great...if you want to sequence things, go for the OP-Z. It's hard to say, but I personally would NOT go for the OP-1 "classic"
Merci !!!!
Sounds like the start of "Beat It" by MJ
Woah they're really teasing me I'd prob buy a op1f if I could get it for below 1.5k op1f just feels much simpler working for advanced stuff
maybe it'll drop some day...who knows?!
@@SONWU I'm hoping for a used one to come onto ebay
I've managed to bag one 😍
How did the tape speed external sync change with this update? Did the sync not work properly before?
Gotta investigate further…I didn’t have any sync issues before
Is the action the same on the OP-1 Field the same as the old OP-1? Because the keys are more of a toggle, where at a point after pushing a key, it's all or none, almost like a click, but not quite. So I wonder how sensitive the velocity sensitive keys are.
The keys aren’t actually velocity-sensitive, the device uses the accelerometer inside it to detect the force which the keys are struck with, similar to how smartphones detect velocity.
@@j.m.s.h2000 Thanks 👍
Off topic, but I‘m desperate :D - changing patterns or muting tracks on opz via midi does only work on a „per project basis“ for me. Meaning: I have to hardcode the project into the button when changing patterns, which would require a total of 160 buttons- please tell me I‘m missing something here and you can set it up to have only 16 buttons for all projects for changing patterns!
Sorry, haven't used MIDI to mute or change patterns so far!
This velocity update has alot more bite than I thought.
Yes, especially when utilizing the velocity LFO!
No quantize no buy. But, ok, always great video my bro :)
Fair enough!
Can’t you just record into a sequencer? To me that’s the biggest benefit. The recording is on step because it’s step based and you can record numerous melodies into each finger sequencer and then just play them in your desired order onto the tape.
Clap to grid feature
:)
DUDE! Did you know that Shift+play plays backwards? You can even record backwards to create risers! Thats totally worth a quick SHORT 😎
Yes, I was aware, but didn’t think to make short about it. Thank you very much for the tip, super nice of you!
@@SONWU I love your shorts and these little tips need to be known by everybody! Maybe you can show it real quick but then towords the end include practical examples? Pitched down hihats in reverse for instance.
Is the update a price decrease?
What version is this? 1.5?
Don’t know, but was a few updates ago
I guess they could port it back to the original OP -1 if they are indeed using the accelerometer. But with their recent attitude towards their products, I kind of doubt that.
OP-1 field should have at least 8-12 channels, quantize, and better integration possibilities with other gear for this price. I wonder if it would be possible to add more channels with a software update??? What are your thoughts??
Quantize would be a huge help. Would get rid of those annoying clicks and pops mostly. I suck ass at playing on time and doing the weird tape start record shortcut
Limitation fosters creativity. No need for feature bloat because this isn't a DAW. Most of us owners also have larger synth studios. If someone is stressing on the money they spent on an OP-1, it's not probably not a wise decision to make the purchase.
It a tape recorder. It’s audio. If you want Quantize then use the step recorder.
I don't think it will be done...the interface is built around 4 tracks. But, never say never.
What sucks is exorbitant price which makes this potentially cool piece of gear out of reach for many. How does Teenage Engineering justify this price when there are so many companies offering value for the money? Think of all the great gear and software I could get for $2000 here in fall 2022.
It's up to each individual to see if it's worth it for them or not.
What's sure is, that there is nothing exactly like the OP-1....that's why they can charge what they want.
It's a lot of money for something that sounds like a toy keyboard.
Many toy keyboards have been used to successfully make hit songs.
I mean that's cool and all, but why in the world didn't it ship with velocity sensitivity in the first place?
Could you imagine ANY other synth company adding velocity later on? Here's your new DSI Prophet, velocity update coming soon. I own the original OP1 and i appreciate the thing for what it is, but i was like 20 when i got it, and now 10 years on it just seems like absolutely pointless to buy something like this for TWO K, you could do soooo much more with that money compared to the OP1. It was cool at the time, but it seems like little more than a vanity purchase at this point. Velocity update i mean coooome ooooon, am i the crazy one??
I bought it for what it was…this is just a bonus!
But I‘d rather they keep improving it :)
For sure, i get that. The OP1 is fun. Just hard to not to get cynical about an "update" like this, since they of course built the thing with velocity, and purposefully add it later for dramatic effect almost.
You mean this wasn’t included and you paid $2000 for this???
Are you under the impression that the update wasn’t free? It was a free update.
Jealousy is a stinky cologne.
Caution man, you will have to erase all your comments if you get one in your hands and love it like us .
@@vinmar_music but his jealousy has REASONS! jk jk
Oh gee! It’s a free update!!!???
Of course I know it’s a free update. It’s just madness that these swindlers at TE went for the cash grab, pushed out a product that was only slightly better than the original and still didn’t even come with velocity sensitivity at $2000. Damn the lipstick on the pig sure is sexy.
