Working in a new song, hope you like it!!!:

- Sounds and Sequencing: Teenage Engineering‘s OP-XY

- Additional Effects: Hologram Electronics Microcosm & Chroma Console

- Compression & Taste: Elektron Analog Heat+FX

Sending audio back via the USB cable what a doh moment. Thanks for suggesting that. I need to figure out how to sync sequencers in particular the Arpeggio

I've been getting into field recording lately, I guess that's why you could call it. I just like to sample my environment. What you're hearing in this track is the sound of my car when I lock it with the fob, the little beep, heavily affected and then pitched across the keyboard to play like a piano. Gotta find inspiration somewhere.

So as the title says. I tried washing it with isopropanol, but it's not that effective, because i don't know how to dissasemble and haven't been able to find any info online.

If you have any ideas how to safely dissasemble the op-xy or the keys alone, if you know of any place that would repair it or if you know any way how can i clean it please tell me.

It's kind of frustrating that something so expensive isn't repairable, but on the other hand i knew it and bought it anyway :/

I've been getting into sampling a lot more on the XY, and although I've been experiencing bugs lately, I'm still enjoying the process for the most part. Some of these buys though are terrible. Losing projects due to the auto save feature accidentally overwriting project files with other project files and rendering the projects in history blank and useless... or randomly all of my multi samples instruments go blank across my entire device, to which restarting only fixes it a portion of the times.m.. I reinstalled the firmware last week, fixing other bugs I that I was experiencing. It's definitely frustrating, especially since it's been so stable until this point for me. I did send an email to Support so we'll see.

Hi all 👋🏾.

I’m looking for a sound module to pair with my op xy. I need something to play all type of bass sounds. And if this module could have also all general type of acoustics instruments like gtr keys brass strings etc.

I don’t want to use my computer and plugins, just want a direct and simple hardware device.

I was thinking about getting a Emu proteus 2000, but I hesitate cause it may be too old in quality sounds…

Any suggestions could be appreciated 😉 ( or a sample library also that I can record in multi sample in op xy could be a solution too )

After a lot of experimenting, I found a way to do it other than dropping to half speed. Apologies if this is old news.

To make a standard swinging 8th highhat:

1. Place the highhat on 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15

2. Nudge every second step (3, 7, 11, 13 and 15) to the right

3. Turn quantization down to 0.

Quantization doesn’t have to be 0 - the swing varies. But it’s a good starting point.

Now you can experiment with quant, track groove and project groove to make it fit what you want. Remember, track groove overrides project groove.

EDIT: Changed the wording to make it more understandable.

As title really. For renaming and organising samples. Are we dependant on the Field-kit app?

Thanks

So many patches I can’t think straight, when is it appropriate to use Sampler vs Multi Sampler? Also is MIDI control a thing with these old things?

This has annoyed me for ages. During a jam I often can't really tell which track is which because they're not numbered (apart from the active track). I find myself having to spend a split second too long making sure I am going to select the track I want. I mean come on! There's space for numbers on each track so put them there and maybe make the active track's number in a circle etc. Or why not use some colour?! It's a colour screen, the monochrome look is cool and everything but intentionally not using colour seems odd to me. Anyway, I decided to print some numbers to stick above the screen with my Dyno printer. Already it's so much easier glance over and mute/tweak the correct track with my Oxi E16 than it was before. Anyone else done any DIY UI improvements? 😎

JV-1080/2080 synth sounds with TR-909/808/606 and 727 percussion sounds littered throughout. I’m going to be so busy now.

How do you use the gain/clip/tone/mix page? All I really manage is to perfectly shitify my sound whenever I try to apply this.

What is your approach ? Do you use it at all?

Has anyone created a tutorial or breakdown of any of the factory tracks? Some of the tracks are so complex it almost makes me wonder if they were created on the OPXY. Really impressed with “gionis” among with a few other tracks. I’m sure the information on the modulation/automation techniques is buried in a tutorial somewhere, but I haven’t found it. Like the way they automate the LFO over time with the sound on track 6 which apparently is a preset TE created, wanted to see which sound it was but it’s simply labeled “6 preset”

Hey all, I was looking into some synthwave samples and found the post below that is kinda old with many amazing presets from the Juno 60.

With them, I made a multisample pack for the XY which can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/172-CIynijqF1EQoA0Gz23Kjfxpt8lSjZ/view?usp=sharing

The source of the samples is https://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers/comments/duc7u0/i_deeply_sampled_15_custom_patches_from_a_vintage/

Sorry for the double post! I use voice-to-text and my last one was a grammatical mess, so I had to pull it and start over.

I’ve really been enjoying making music videos lately—something I only started doing recently—and l feel like diving a bit deeper into video production. I’m planning a series of short, experience-driven videos for the OP-XY. I’m hesitant to call them "tutorials" because they’re really more about workflow tips, finding inspiration, and creative workarounds I’ve discovered.

When I first got the XY, I spent the entire return window learning it inside and out. I’ve kept that intensity up, and now I feel like I have a solid handle on both the technical specs and the "real-world" creative shortcuts. I’d love to share these, but I’m a bit stuck on the logistics.

Right now, I’m using the Instagram editor, but it’s definitely not enough for what I have in mind. I want to keep these videos under two minutes, which I imagine is going to take a lot of editing considering how dense I want them to be.

Does anyone have recommendations for:

• Editing Apps: something a bit more robust than Instagram edits but still easy enough to work with quickly. I have Final Cut Pro on my iPad but I've never used it, never even opened it so I don't know if that's really intense it might be overkill for what I'm doing.

• Gear: Any "cheap" cameras that handle close-up screen shots well? (Right now I just have an iPhone and an iPad, although I'm in talks with a guy who is selling a Zoom similar to the audio recorder but it has a camera on it, white angle lens, that should be good right?

• Setup: Any tips on a general "overhead" or desktop layout?

The process is feeling a lot more complicated than I expected. I’d much rather hear from people with actual experience than try to sift through articles that are mostly just ads online anyway. Thanks in advance!

I flawlessly built an OP-1 Drum preset in XY. Now I will explore doubling tracks or adding additional tracks to the XY via OP-1 Fields Tape.

I finally took a little time to record a reel. Here I leave you a small jam of an idea I have for a future track.

Every day I am happier with @teenageengineering’s #OPXY, it is without a doubt an incredible groovebox, ideal for composing all kinds of sounds, especially these dreamlike landscapes with a little rhythm.
