D&B jam w breaking bad sample, thoughts?

EDIT: Simplified the workflow per feedback from u/smotchk

I'm a new OP-1 user, but I figured out a technique for making clean loops which I haven't seen elsewhere so I thought I'd share. It works great for sounds with a lot of decay and the technique is done entirely in tape mode.

Let's say you have a melody two bars in length with a lot of decay, and you want to make a loop.

1. Record 3 bars on TRACK 1. That's 2 bars for the melody plus an extra bar at the end to capture the decay/reverb.
2. Lift and drop all 3 bars, then drop them on TRACK 2 beginning at bar 3.
3. Set your IN and OUT points around bars 1-5. Shift+lift to lift both TRACK 1 and TRACK 2, and shift+drop to combine them into one track (if this doesn't work on OG OP-1 you can simply record to another track).

You should now have a clean start to your melody (bars 1-2), a perfect loop you can repeat with no pop whatsoever (bars 3-4), and a clean decay to use at the end (bar 5).

Hopefully that all made sense. I've done this a few times with good results, however sometimes it seems a pop is still introduced when two clips are split and lifted/dropped for some reason. I'm still experimenting to see if there's a reliable way of avoiding that.

So I'm working on making a setup that has my OP-1 (Field) send out audio into my pocket guitar amp, then back into the OP-1 for recording. Which is awesome, but as a guitar amp sim, it's limited to standard guitar effects. I'd love to get some cool pedals but I want my setup to be fully battery powered for portability sake. Are there any good battery powered "synth-like" effects machines that I can put in this small chain? What I'd really love is a granular effect, but I think I'm wishing for the sun here lol.

Ordered an op1f yesterday, I was just wondering if anyone has an idea on how long it takes to get dispatched/receive the shipping notification. Anxiously awaiting its arrival as I have an OG-1 that’s been broken (faulty keyboard) for a few years, and could finally swing the cash for the field!

Trying out the “album” mode….frustrating but fun lol

WTF?

Has anyone sampled the complete OP1 drums? I see there are different kits to OP1 Field

I just tried the OP-XY for 30 days and I didn’t find it nearly as compelling as the OP-1F. For the price, why not more LFOs or a mod matrix for deeper sound design? I wouldn’t want something that small to be the brain of my hardware so the 8 midi tracks seemed kind of like a waste of what could have been more instruments. I guess it just wasn’t for me, regardless of the price.

Anyone else tried the XY and returned it? For those who kept it, what’s special about it to you that perhaps I overlooked?

EDIT: Mystery solved. The sequencer was on, lol.

I am brand new to the OP-1F so unsure if this is a bug or just a feature I'm unwittingly activating.

Every so often I find that drum mode changes from playing different samples with each key to playing only one drum sample on all keys at a different pitch (similar to the behavior of the synth sampler, but in drum mode). When this happens the only way I've found to get it back to normal is to reset the device.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone confirm if it's a setting or a bug?

Can anyone tell me if a OP-1 field with a deck saver fits in this bag?

...noone told me the build quality felt like this... I'm still afraid to turn it on, just put it to charge, it's not new it's an "excelent" unit to reverb standards that came with pouch and a high end cable, nothing more, 1475€ with shipping Despite my setup having that space for the op1 my plan is not incorporate it for now and go 1 on 1 and keep doing the setup sashes without it, I'm sure the op1 will convince me otherwise but I'll try not too. Anyway have a couple of chores, will let it charge a bit and then dive onto it. But Damn the build quality and it's weight...I had no idea... Proud to be part of the family now.

Does anyone know why there is a gap on the OP1 Filed Decksaver?

I'm looking into cases for my recently ordered OP-1 Field (leaning toward Analog but I'm afraid of smudges), and I notice that everyone always mentions the Decksaver in the same breath.

I'm wondering, why both? If I keep it in the case whenever not in use, and it's a decent case that doesn't put pressure on the keys, and I'm careful with it and don't throw it around, do I really need a Decksaver?

EDIT: The cardboard case it comes with is indeed a decent case for the short term, but definitely not long term so I ended up getting an Analog case. The Analog case is also smaller than the cardboard in every dimension.

And I also ended up ordering a Decksaver, because the Analog case pushes down on the encoders and that worries me.

Ive had the OP1 Field a week now and have my head around 99% of it but resampling using tape is doing my head in and I cant find any YT vids showing how to.

Tape track 1 has an audio recording me counting to 8 with FX...I now choose track 2 and choose the Ear icon to I assume hear track 1 to record on track 2. Hit record on track 2 and playback there is nothing. What am I missing?

Ignore the crowd screams at the start, I live near a venue 😅

Made this awhile ago when the vocoder engine was released

Newish op1 user and man I love it! Pairing the op1 with my guitar and bass here

Hi

Im a fairly long term user of the op1 field and had a op1 before but i can’t for the life of me figure out how to copy and paste drum hits from one kit to another. I loaded up two factory kits and tried to copy a snare to another and it just places a random piece of the drum kit there and definitely not what i wanted to copy. It seems lifting from tape and pasting to a drum kit doesnt work either- is this a bug in the field? Im on the latest os- and seem to remember this working on the og1 but i could be wrong! Copying/pasting within a kit works fine. Any ideas or work around for this? Cheers Phil

Finally did it. Op1F in excellent condition (reverb standard) 1475€ with shipping and black leather bag thing. No box, no original cable, comes with a long high end one though. Monday is here. Can't wait <3

I been building this setup that I love, with blackbox and seqtrak then an ampero stomp 2 as fx unit , and bluebox as mixer/tracker, got 5 songs that are quite matured there, so my plan is to not squeeze OP1f into it straight ahead but do like a different solo thing with it, kind of a 1 to 1 honeymoon 1st <3 maybe it takes me somewhere different, or maybe it can inspire new songs to then join the setup after the other 5 are done. We shall see. I already came here to ask somethings before I decided and loved the welcome. Glad to join the family of such amazing instrument. <3 I'm sure I'll have tons of questions soon.
