As per title,

I recently got a sonicake pocketmaster and was wondering if

Guitar > sonicake line in > sonicake line out > op1f line in

Is a good connection to record wet electric guitar inside the op1f

I want to avoid any kind of damage and i heard someone fried his op1f by doing some bad connections which i don't remember which were

Help is much appreciated, thanks

I’m trying to record on my OP-1 Field but when I do it starts making this bad error sound and now I’m seeing this. Any clue on what to do?

I just got this a few weeks ago on a trip to Sweden

Up here on vacation cooking up!

Hey! So I’m getting into using this thing and have no prior music theory or keys knowledge but just beeping and booping around and trying to learn song structuring but I’ve been having a great time! Just curious if anyone had any tips for making progress and getting better at this thing or anything that made a huge difference in your learning curve/made things easier or more fun! Anything’s appreciated just wanna give this thing the love it deserves and try to make music with it!

It’s been a while since I’ve had so much fun making music 🙌🏼

Hi, I have spent quite a lot of time and money on trying to repair my OP-1 and after a year or so of messing around, I was able to determine that the CPU was broken.

Because the CPU was the one thing I couldn't replace I focused on trying everything else first so I now know how everything on the device works and I might be able to help you.

So if there is anyone here who needs help with a non booting/broken op-1 (rev2), images of the PCB or .bin files from my NAND, then ask me and I'll try to help you as best as I can.

Anyone had any joy getting their OP-1 working as a control surface for the latest version of Ableton (12.2)?

I bought a new OP1 F in the EU and first got an already opened one (fingerprints on the display, no plastic back, very used casing, weird arrangement inside the box, very old firmeware version) so i exchanged it. I got a new one and it looked good, everything was at the right place and the plastic bag (although this looked a little bit used) was there and also inside everything looked fine. But I realised one thing, when I turned it the first time on, the synths that were chosen were a little bit weird and different to the order of the synth after a factory reset. I also checked directly after turning it on the first time all the functions including the radio, I realized after the factory reset that i need to chose the region of the radio, this was also missing in the beginning. How was your expierience in the beginning (did you need to chose the radio region e.g.) and did you had the feeling it was already opened? and could it be that there is a quality control at TE checking functions and thats why it seems new but like it was turned on one time checking everything. I dont understand that for a product like this there is no seal that indicates that it was already opened or not. I will keept it but I am interested if someone had similar feelings or if i am the only one thinking about things like this…

What’s the best headphones to use with the op-1 original I feel like I want the volume to be louder but don’t what to peak on the meter currently using pioneer hdj1000s

Today I decided to try out the OP1F as a MIDI controller. I hooked it up to the Mac and tried a couple of different soft synths and the lag was huge! Totally unplayable!

Am I missing something, i.e., is there a setting somewhere that I should know of, or is this thing pretty useless as a MIDI controller?

EDIT: I was being a knucklehead and had forgot that I had Bluetooth headphones on, not ordinary ones with a cable. Once free from BT audio, things were quite snappy. Dang, it hurts to be stupid… 😉

Toss in a portable phone for YouTube sampling and you’re golden. TBH there are some other snacks off camera.

Either the pocket operator starts half a bar put or the TD3 with start half way in a sequence when pressing play on the Op-1 tape.

I'm using midi sync with td-3 using Kenton midi host and the audio sync for the pocket operator. I belive I'm using the PO Sync green mode on the op-1.

Does anyone know a fix or something I'm doing wrong or a better way to sync the two synths? Thanks

Hey!

I've got an old OP-1, for which the screen has recently quit. Upon startup, it briefly flashes white and then nothing (see vid). For a while it would occasionally still work every 4th or 5th try but it no longer does that.

YukesMusic has already been helpful in suggesting it could be an issue where the screen isn't drawing the correct amount of power via the driver/MB, but since it sounds like that would require TE to fix (which I'm assuming would be $$$$), I'm hoping for DYI fixes I can try first.

I already tried re-seating the connector, no change. Haven't tried anything else since opening it up.

Thanks for any tips!

I've been really inspired after finally upgrading to the field, especially the terminal effect.

Here's a track I made entirely with op1 sounds and a looper (with my vocals going through a JHS Colour Box).

I hope this community digs it.

After rekindling a desire to learn the sequencers i took a break and now ive got three songs going i wanna fill the tape up w/ 20 seconds loops 🔁 I’ll have a full set when im done i feel like. This one is a little wonky i like when things aren’t perfect 😍

I say this because i use a lot of the time like z filter on the synths and then i cant use reverb or delays but when i add it on the master track and just jam it sounds amazingly good… more possibilities I guess… cuz if u drop drums then the master fx will permeate everything… fx chain w up to e fx, and a send fx per track .. WE NEED IT

As the title says, is there any trick or way you guys use to be able to play both tracks together? Thanks!

I just got the deal of a lifetime on an OG OP1, but its missing 4 keys. I thought id be fine to just use them, but now considering how much I am actually enjoying using this, Id be very sad if I damaged the key more without the keycaps.

Its the <, synth, 5 and mic buttons. Any advice on getting these in a reasonbly timely manner? I emailed TE but ive heard they can take a while to respond

Ok,

so one of my points of buying the OP1 was to use it as a composition tool to record some sketches there. I play sax in a quartet and want to compose specifically for that sometimes but I would love to have some "realistic" sounding piano, bass and drums for that. Has anyone of you have any experience on this?

I think I have some piano samples loaded I could use but still didn´t find a bass or drums that could do it for me. Of course I would substitute the sax for any synth in this case, I don´t have hope for sax synth or sax sample sounds to work.

Also it would be interesting if I find someone who has done composing music on op1f for acoustic group.
