Ever wonder what the turn out of a comparison between the PO-12 and 2 other drum machines would look like? Well now ya do! Dropped this one today
Great review! I love the PO-12, will have a closer look at the other 2.
I’m fairly new to this, but I also really like the “Finger” sequencer on the OP-1 and the OP-z. I can create very real sounding drums with nice fills the OP-1.
Any reasons to buy a Drumbrut/TR6s if I have the OP-1 and OP-z?
yeah, the sequencers on the OP1 are great for creating fills, variations and adding percussion to drum patterns. they really make my drum tracks come alive.
I don’t see much reason to buy a drum machine if you have on OP1 or OPZ. both machines go a good job at sampling/drum synthesis and sequencing. but every machine has it’s own sound and way of working.
It’s really a question of workflow IMO- but the TR-6S is dedicated to being a drum machine, same with the Drumbrute Impact (especially the DB impact) and that makes a difference in the beats that you come up with.
I was actually thinking about it the other day and the tr 6s is somewhat similar to the opz- but the opz obviouslly kills it in terms of synth sounds- but in terms of workflow and sequencing they have similar abilities.
The only thing is exporting with OP1- you cant isolate tracks live, where as with the DB impact/tr 6s you can. I think that makes a big difference actually.
The other thing with OP-1 is you can’t export the sequences… which lead me to the Elektron world, from which I just can’t seem to come back.
you can very easily to export (wait, I meant record) the midi sequences as midi into other machines.
You mean, use OP-1 sequencer to control some other gear that would record the sequence?
If so, well ok but this doesn’t mean “exporting” and it can be called “easy” in my book ^^
Plus how do you import back this sequence within the OP-1 exactly?
I love the Elektron world!
From the OP1?
yeah that’s one major downfall of the op1- exporting options are
ahh, yes…I misspoke when i said “export”. I meant record. edited now.
hit record for a midi track/sequencer on your digikat etc. and trigger the sequencer on the op1 at the same time.
Excellent work… now I’m looking longingly at the Microcosm
It has that effect on people
Crap, it’s looking back at me.
