This is 2 instances of cardinal playing midi into reaper. Drums are just the polygene module playing some kontakt drums The synth is polygene into a Turing machine module into a free synth vst. I just let it play and hit record. https://soundcloud.com/thumposaurus...-ltr-more-recos Thumposaurus fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Jul 24, 2022 |

LOL I guess TE can't source new audio ports anymore either B&H is just refunding me $1300 on a OP-1 with a slightly fucky audio port. I am just taking it as store credit and applying it to a new OP-1, which is now $100 more than it was when I bought it in 2021. Not going up $700 for a field. If I was smart I'd start an indiegogo making controller boards compatible with the OP-1, it seems like fundamentally bad design.

A worse design than the OP-Z warping to the point the encoders can't stay in?

My primary recording mechanism is a Teac tapedeck from 1990.

I love my OP-1 Field because it’s exactly what I want on the road with me and I enjoy using it enough to actually play it. Prolly gonna get an M8 eventually too.

I got my OP-1 new for $1121; to a certain extent I feel like I bought it because it was more a thing that I wanted a decade ago, when I was nothing but a broke college student; thus buying it was more a sign that "hey, I have money, I finally made it." Honestly, I've had more fun with just the pleasure of playing it, rather than recording a track with it; I do not get along with the tape-style interface at all. The current discussion of it in this thread has me wanting to try and record with it on the track I'm currently puttering around with though.

yikes, I didn't mean to set off a firestorm. I saw and appreciated the different levels of linguistic joke in "lmn3" and it made me snicker. There's a lot of gear I could get for $1280 credit, but I'd had the OP-1 8 months, felt like I was scratching the surface of what it could do, enjoy loving with it, and also enjoy the silliness of it, so I'm happy to just eat a small loss replacing it with a new one and move on. If the new one has less than immaculate audio I/O after 11 months I'll return it again and rethink this. Korg Gadget 2 is a hell of a lot cheaper if you already have a tablet, and supports kinda similar workflows, IMO. If i hadn't already been enjoying the op1 that's not where my resources would go now, but, I know I'd miss it so  The Voice of Labor posted:the $1200 6 channel mixer might be a good place to start thinking about what it might be about te's design and marketing strategy that people find offensive. their clothing line would be a good second thing to consider I'd go as far as "TE uses basically predatory boutique marketing and provides poo poo support for generally overpriced products in a field already crowded with weird poo poo BUT I really enjoy my OP-1" my $80 mackie 8 channel mixer is just fine...

inferis posted:Is there another six channel stereo mixer that size that’s cheaper? if you're mixing six stereo inputs, that implies that you also have six things capable of producing stereo outputs so who cares how small your mixer is, the rest of the setup won't fit in your pocket. there isn't anything else comparable in that form factor because there's 0 reason for anything else comparable to be in that form factor. there are cheap, small 2 and 4 stereo channel mixers aplenty and cheap 8 channel desktop mixers aplenty because those make sense. like, there's nothing comparable to the TESLA CYBERTRUCK cheaper either. even with a fancy aluminum case, the component cost for a mixer and a usb interface isn't all that much and if you use those dinky volca sized smt pots, the footprint isn't all that big. they're free to exploit a novel market as much as they want, but I think there's a disconnect between what they're charging and what I think actual production costs are and development costs were

i do appreciate the playfulness and exploration that some TE products inspire, and cost aside i think the OP1 and some pocket operators allow you to do a ton in a tiny package. that said when you charge prices that would make apple blush while filling your office with supercars i don’t really respect you as a company. but like i’m not gonna judge anyone for buying and using their products, use the stuff that you gel with and that inspires you.

TE makes really cool unique stuff that is quite overpriced at times but the backlash against them tends to be even worse and eyeroll worthy. They’re a good company. They could be better. The synth world is in my opinion best with them thriving in it and I hope that they grow and adjust over time and stick around.

hey, fishing for some alternate ideas. My current deal with BHPhoto gives me a 30 day window to decide I don't actually want an OP-1 and do something irresponsible like get a hydrasynth instead, or, maybe more practically, get a Hydrasynth Desktop plus "some other thing or things to help replace the OP-1 in my workflows". So, I know I'm going to have to give up on having a tiny AIO groovebox if I go this route, and that's probably fine because Gadget 2 plus an ipad is fine for sketching. The main thing I end up using the OP-1 for is polyphony, both for drum tracks, and sometimes for melody or harmony. The rest of my usual setup is some semimodular analog monosynths connected to a Beatstep and small midi kb, and then the aux loop on everything goes through a KP3, so I can grab loops from the OP-1 (or whatever) and keep them in the KP3 to turn on different drum/synth loops. I've planned to do more actual recording on the OP-1 but have not, the tape interface is... well, you love it, or you don't, and I am not there yet. So, my question is: #1-if I am not concerned about a super portable AIO groovebox, / DAW what other options might I consider if I am mostly looking for a polysynth that makes it easy to set up drum tracks etc? If I decide to put $800 of that $1400 into a Hydrasynth which covers the polyphony bit nicely but not sequencing and recording, what exists in the $600 range that would cover those use cases? Note that as far as "recording" goes I do have capacity to just feed all this into Studio One on a laptop, or use an iPad as the end of the line recorder (if there's good software for this), so I am open to all these things #2 a more extreme version of #1 - If i just dump all the money into the full hydrasynth with keyboard, what are the best iOS options for drums specificially, sequencing and recording? I've got Gadget 2, that may be fine? The hydrasynth looks super sweeet and like it it would open up a bunch of exciting options for interacting with my semimodular stuff. I've generally been happy with the OP-1, but, the QC seems fucky and it is kind of a toy and part of me thinks if I have the chance to just get out of it at full value here and get a sweet synth and something else, that might make more sense.

Maybe a Digitakt? Or Roland MC707, or one of the new Aira line? It still sounds like a groovebox is a good fit. Plenty of articles/videos online comparing them.

I'm an Elektron fanboy so maybe a Digitone/takt or Syntakt? There's polyphony plus a good sequencer all in one plus you can use Overbridge although I have heard mixed reviews on it's functionality.

Hmm, now my bad brain is thinking "a lot of these things are $1000 and my return is worth $1400 which would only leave me $300 short for doing some $1k thing plus a hydrasynth". I made the mistake of watching a bunch of hydrasynth videos including a bunch with the desktop version hooked up to Eurorack stuff and it really got my gears turning.
