Just purchased an OP-1F, seems to be ok except the keys stick on occasion. It’s different keys each time… has anyone else had this? does it resolve itself with some use.

Yea i’d say this is pretty normal, you also might experience some double triggering due to the nature of the keys themselves being more buttons before actual keys.

I have a feeling that the product is made of some B-stock elements. In XXI centrury it is really not so hard to find on/off switches, where 100% of the batch offers the same parameters and behaviour.

maybe thats a hidden recycling feature.

dang, so I mentioned 2 days ago I got a second Op1-Field from B&H to replace the initial one I bought from them. I’m experiencing excessive double triggering, wondering if you guys have a solution for this? Is it a common issue that resolves itself with consistent use? To be fair my previous unit was double triggering but not this much and this often, Its messing with my drum recordings onto tape its super annoying. Wondering if I should return it but afraid they’ll send me another with the same issues. I wonder if they could send me a third unit from a recent batch of Op1f’s if I ask them to?

No-one should have those concerns when purchasing an expensive instrument. If you had bought a keyboard for a computer that was a fraction of the Field’s price and it double-triggered, making it a nightmare to write anything, you’d return it, right? Don’t settle for something that you know in your heart you’ll regret in the future. Plus, think about the greatly diminished re-sell value.

damn, thanks a lot for that Jim. You’re right… it doesn’t sit right with me to stay with this unit. I guess my only hesitation really comes from how much I truly love this instrument and how it’s vital to my creative process and being without it even for a few days feels wrong. I can still produce music in ableton sure, but i don’t do this for a living. I do this because I love it, and I enjoy making music, I enjoy the Op1-Field haha.

The one thing that I learned from previous experience is to not fall in love/use, or get comfortable with a product before making sure everything works the way it should. That’s why I spent less than ten minutes using the (horrendously warped) Tracker Mini before packaging it back up and sending it off for a refund.

Today I recieved my 4th OP-1f and it also double triggers like all units before. I also think the only option is to send it back again until they fix the issue.
TE said that double triggering is really rare on OP-1 field and i just had bad luck on my 3 units. They say this is a warranty case.
Since I also tested all units at superbooth and they were double triggering as well and now see the 4th with the same, i doubt that its a rare issue.
However I think they could easily fix this via software. They should just prevent a second trigger within 5 or 10ms to fire a sound.
This way you cannot trigger ultra fast anymore, but i guess the scenarios where you need this are rare.
Anyhow as long as TE thinks this is a HW issue, we need to return it.

Shocking, isn’t it? A 9,95$ noname keyboard for a PC purchased on a nightmarket almost never double triggers. And here we have a 2000$ device… with quite similar key mechanism.
The double trigger issue is knows since the original OP-1, means since many years. And they still did not cope with it. I am afraid it is a hardware problem which cannot be solved with a firmware update.

a button debouncing routine in the software would definately fix double triggers
thats actually precisely what it is for. all buttons have some level of bounce.
its a very common thing and a very common fix.

They had months, if not years (OG had the problem too) to fix it. So maybe the double trigger is another intentional quirk?
