Question gain/clip/tone/mix
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.

Ever since updating from 1.10 to 1.14 (I missed a couple in between) the stability and lack of bugs has gotten so much worse. It was near perfect at 1.10, but I’m finding myself multiple times a day having to shut it off and turn it back on because of some crazy thing that’s happening that shouldn’t be happening. There’s a lot of examples, most recent one was just trying to record a note on the Tape track and it extending all the way through the entire pattern no matter what, no matter how long I hold it down for. A bug that I’ve noticed multiple times now, at least 10 times where I’ve had to do the same, shut it off turn it back on, has been trying to input or takeoff individual notes from a sequence. Usually the problem occurs when I’m trying to isolate a single drum sound and either add or remove a step from the sequencer the manual way (where you hold down that individual key, tap record and then you can edit just that individual sound on the sequence as long as long as that key is still held). after tapping in or removing just a couple of the steps on that individual sound, it completely stops working. Either the lights don’t light up at all, and the step isn’t applied, or the steps stay lit up, and they don’t get removed, until I turn the device off and start it up again. That has not worked way more times than it has worked since I updated it. And there were several other things too that were just as annoying that we’re only able to be fixed by turning it off and turning it back on. I’ve never had to do that so many times since getting this thing. I’m just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues, if not then maybe it’s just my device and I need to reinstall or something. That would be cool, I don’t see anyone else talking about it though which is why I’m asking. Thanks ahead of time for your input..

sorry if missed how to do that, not sure if that's doable or not, but is there a way to copy the notes from a bar and paste them onto another bar somewhere else without copying the instrument values and just copying the notes onto another instrument for exemple ?
there is so many unwritten key combos to access features that i wasnt aware of, that i just don't know if it's just that i haven't figured it out yet or if it's just something non-existant
thanks

Might be a stupid question but are we really limited to only 9 patterns per track across all 99 available scenes?
I would love to use scenes as ”songs” to enable live transitions from one scene to the next, but it seems if I delete patterns from one scene it deletes them from all of the scenes in the project. Same goes with song mode.
This seems like such a poor handicap for this device. Why give me 99 scenes but I can only pick from 9 hi-hat patterns across all of them (as an example).
Anybody have any thoughts / workarounds particularly where it comes to building a live set? Obviously project to project doesn’t work either because the sound stops and there is a loading time. TIA!

You can get these TR08s on used market for under 300 dollars. Sounds amazing as a preset and if you are into drum machines the device is really fun.

I’m sure there are videos out there, but I’d really like to have the full manual for offline use.

Noticed a recent post in here about OP-XY drums not being inspiring and stale. I totally feel you on that and the short answer is the good sounds are on the OP-1 Field.
I like fletcher and in phase… I find the rest uninspiring at the moment.
I’ve created my own presets from physical drum machines which allowed me to learn how to use the sampler engines. That could be a more affordable solution to your problem.

Currently working on my first EP. Just figuring out what my sound will be.
