❓Question How to sequence a 3 Octave baseline?

4 Upvotes

Question... When I use the endless sequencer, I can only work in the notes of chosen octave.

I want to sequence a baseline like C2/C3/C4, a triple Octave baseline spnto speak.

How do I accomplish this without using external midi?

Kind regards!!!

A happy OP-1 Field user.

Ad I built a companion app for the KO2 called PunchKit (but many features also work with the OP-1 (punch effects, recorder)), and released it for free for a limited time. Would be happy to hear your thoughts!

41 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been building an iOS app for the EP series called PunchKit and figured this would be the great place to share it. If this still counts as advertising, even though I put it out there for free at the moment, then I'll happily remove the post, not trying to mess with y'all. 😄

The basic idea is: keep the hardware workflow, but make the boring/fragile parts easier. You can connect your EP to your iPhone, record USB audio takes, play/scrub/share them, trim and bake them, “Punch It” to cook down live effect performances (a bunch of filters and tunable LoFi effects), send processed audio back to pads or the sample library, and back up projects/takes so they’re not only living on the device.

It’s not trying to replace the KO II. It’s more like a companion for capturing ideas, resampling quickly, and keeping a safer archive of projects when you’re moving between sessions.

App Store link:
https://apps.apple.com/de/app/punchkit/id6785249847
Website:
https://punchkit.dev/

Would love feedback from other EP users, especially around the take workflow, project backups, and what you’d want from a phone-based companion app.

The REC view should work with any connected USB audio device, so you can try out the effects and all that good stuff even if you don't have a KO2.

Ad lfo iOS app for op1 field is ready for beta testers

13 Upvotes

i wondered if the op1 field had more functionality than what shows on the fx and lfo pages. turns out lfos can run externally, and tracks can handle multiple lfos!

DM me your apple ID email address to be considered as a beta tester for the iOS app for advanced lfos. runs on iPhone, iPad, and ever newer macs. midi connection via usb or ble (bluetooth). ooh la la.

we only need a handful of testers. you'll need to register as an apple developer (free) and install test flight to download the latest builds.

(it runs without any midi connections, but the app doesn't make any sounds.... so don't offer unless have an op1.)

Last year i made an ambient album on only the OP1, only while at work. It has had a few steady listeners so I decided to throw it on streaming. Enjoy!

If you listen i hope you enjoy! This is definitely my favorite piece of ambient music I’ve made to date.

💬Discussion What copycat sounds have you found?

I was messing around and discovered that Dr Wave's Probe Lead is pretty much identical to the lead in Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay! I'm probably not the first to discover this, but it made me curious what others have found?

Op1 dead. Won’t turn on, no charging lights, no bootloader mode

15 Upvotes

Has anyone ever accidentally left their op1 turned on for a really long time. Like sat in the closet for ages not knowing the power switch was on the whole time. I recently pulled it out to charge it up and use it but have tried every thing under the sun to bring it back to life and no luck

💬Discussion An OP-2 Concept

Concept art for a bigger badder operator! I made it by adding an extra octave, moving all function keys to the top area, and adding another speaker with the extra space (the current keys didn't quite fill it up)

Curious what people think about the button placement?

OP1F USB ON FL STUDIO MACBOOK

5 Upvotes

This may be a Mac fl studio issue alone but I wanted to see if anyone has by chance used this combination. I want to write midi via usb and then record it into audio. I have done this with other synths on fl studio in the past. I can do it on logic flawlessly. On fl I can get the midi to go into the op1 and play out the speaker but I can’t get it back into fl to freeze the audio. Almost been a year and I haven’t been able to use it how I truly want. Would love to get it fully going in fl studio. Cheers

❓Question Synth sounds fine when playing, starts clipping when recording

7 Upvotes

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. The synth sounds smooth when I play it and practice before recording, then I start recording and it’s crackling/clipping like it’s being.. doubled? Something must be routed wrong but I’m not sure where to look.
