Anyone Feel Cheated By Release of the OP-XY?

To be fair to TE, how exactly would you implement that on the OP-1? It’s not multitimbral so there’s only ever one voice that can be sequenced at a time. Also the layout of the device doesn’t lend itself to having a tactile sequencer.

I don’t mean a literal translation of the opxy but I was thinking perhaps they have either an “op-z emulator” sequencer or op-z “tape” or even maybe just a simple 64 step grid sequencer , not necessarily dependent on step component or triggers or anything.

iow endless sequencer in a more grid/visually logical layout at least

Yeah a 64 step sequencer would be pretty cool or some way to edit the endless sequencer would be nice.

It’s true. Most OP-1 users really appreciate the endless sequencer. But sometimes it’s hard to get what you want without dislocating your fingers. And when the sequence is finished and recorded, I always hesitate before deleting it and starting another one. Adding edit features, memory presets & parameter locks to the endless sequencer would already be a significant improvement.

That feeling of accomplishment is REAL when you manage to get that part into the Endless. :rofl:

Releasing a ‘plus’ version with a minor updatethat would be only availble on the new device within a year is the definition of being cheated on * ahem-polyend-play-plus *

Improved, way more capable and ‘many missing stuff that’s baked into’ version of op-z after 7 years with proper synths, features doesn’t feel like I’ve been cheated on.

I think they mean cheated as an OP-1 field owner.

OP-XY is a totally different product to the OP-1 Field. They look similar and are both music making gadgets, but that’s it.

Field all the way here.

Do Digitakt 2 owners feel cheated with the release of Digitone 2? just really curious here…

Nah, but my GAS kicked up when it was released lol. I’m an OG OP-Z lover so I grabbed a seconed one since they are EOL now. If the line module was more available they’d kill the XY sales IMHO. I think the OP Field + the Z is the best combo. Z is the realtime sequencer and Field has the synths and samples no problems. Any other OG Z lovers out there?

Well, I wouldn’t want to be stuck in an elevator with somebody who claims to have GAS. :grinning:

Really loved the Z, which was the reason I got the XY, which was the reason I sold the Z :slight_smile:

Z still a great tiny monster. Do miss some of the punch-FX that were replaced in XY. Like the pitchdown FX was replaced with pitchup and I greatly miss that one. Other than that, really happy with everything else being a major upgrade.

Man I was thinking about putting in a feature request to add the Endless sequencer to OP-XY! I love the op-1 sequencers. I guess it depends on what you’re using it for and what you expect to get out of it. Is it possible that you’re not using the op-1 sequencers at their full potential? It took me a while to understand them but now almost all of my songs on OP-1f are recorded using the sequencers and.i love them.

The XY comes at a hefty price, and for that reason I was hoping I wouldn’t love it, but unfortunately I do and I can’t return/sell it. I know I would instantly miss it. There are so many things about the XY that aren’t in the manual, so many hidden features that it just keeps getting better and better to me.

“ Do Digitakt 2 owners feel cheated with the release of Digitone 2? just really curious here…”

I personally don’t, but they are two different machines altogether. One is a sampler and the other is a synth, there really isn’t any crossover like there is with op-z and op-xy. I have been wanting a digitone 2 since its release to pair with my digit alt 2, but I ended up getting the XY instead and now I’m taking a break on buying new gear for a while.

The OP-1 sequencers are great, I use endless the most. I just wish I could input a note on a different octave. That’s a big pain for me.

Anyway, I just got a Deluge. Perfect compliment to OP-1 Field. Insanely amazing little box. :slight_smile:
