Hi
Im a fairly long term user of the op1 field and had a op1 before but i can’t for the life of me figure out how to copy and paste drum hits from one kit to another. I loaded up two factory kits and tried to copy a snare to another and it just places a random piece of the drum kit there and definitely not what i wanted to copy. It seems lifting from tape and pasting to a drum kit doesnt work either- is this a bug in the field?
Im on the latest os- and seem to remember this working on the og1 but i could be wrong!
Cheers
Phil

Meant to say that copying and pasting within the same kit works fine!

copy/paste in the drum sampler does not work for individual slices between different kits. if you are working within one kit, if you hold a single piano key and press lift, it will copy the entire “config” (i.e. trim, gain, pitch etc) of that exact key. you can then hold the piano key of the destination on the SAME kit and paste it.
however if you do this between different kits, it doesn’t work because the drum sampler in the op1/f is not a multisample, its just one contiguous 20s sample that is chopped.
one exception to this is if you instead of using the drum sampler you use the DBOX drum synth machine. there you can copy individual piano key patch settings between different kits.

Ok thanks yeah i was wondering if it just wasnt possible. Do you know any workarounds for mixing up kits? I tried recording sounds to tape but the lift from tape to drum sampler doesn’t seem to work either.

no problem at all. im not sure what you mean by recording sounds to tape and then lifting but i think something along those lines should work. from my view you would need to effectively record a new “kit” to tape in its entirely. i know this is something cuckoo says he did a lot back in the day on the og op1 and i too love doing this. you prob already know what im getting at but just in case its helpful you want to record each “hit” that you want for all 24 drum sounds onto tape and try your best to keep the space between each consecutive sound to a minimum. then use shift+scissor to merge it into one piece of audio and lift that entire audio of your new kit with all the fav sounds/hits into the drum sampler and trim for each piano key as needed.
i like doing this a lot with the po12 because if you twist the A/B knobs while playing a sound you get crazy weird sounds that you can’t get with param locks.
Ah cool yeah ive just figured out where im going wrong- if you record say a snare from the drum sampler to the tape and then lift and drop onto the the drum sampler again (different drum kit) it actually places the audio at the start of the long audio file. Then it can be lifted and dropped to any key as usual within that same kit.
Making a whole custom drumkit that way sounds fun too though!

that’s actually a really clever way to do it, very nice idea. as long as you always leave the beginning as a dummy/buffer area that you dont care overwriting, you can paste each sound there and copy/paste, rinse repeat
Yeah you need to keep the audio that you’re lifting from the tape as short as possible to avoid overwriting too many slots.
I wonder if lift/drop across kits could be implemented with an update or would the file system not allow it?

yep exactly. good question. i think its prob not something we could get via FW but i could be wrong.
