sorry but i just can’t agree with you here. the machine didn’t have velocity sensitivity and then that was later added in an update. this is a huge feature that was added!!! so even if you don’t think the other updates have added much, you just can’t say that it hasn’t been updated since it was released… (vocoder, etc. i mean that is not nothing!)
Hey ok so for AUM I set the usb C input volume to -16.5dB to avoid that feedback loop
In Cubasis I just disabled monitoring
The headphone button above the record arm button on mixer or the headphone monitor button under the silent button on track 5 is what I’m showing ^^
Let me know if that helps but it definitely works for me. I wish we didn’t have to worry about feedback loops but it’s hard considering how compact the device is so hope this work
I guess overall we just have to agree to disagree. My main complaint is not that they haven’t updated, but that they haven’t updated enough to make it significant for me and several others.
As I can tell, the only major updates have been velocity sensitivity, vocoder, and one new effect (terminal, which is just OK). So that amounts to only three significant updates in the three some odd years that it has been out. That’s not super great
Are these good updates? Yes. I’ve enjoyed every single one and will continue to use my OP-1f lots. But there just seems to be a disconnect on how often they claimed we would be receiving updates and how big these are.
To me, the monitoring return issue is massive. This is a very simple fix that they could remedy in two seconds of coding.
Yes, I am a coding engineer and have written many music programs myself. I know how much effort it takes for this and how much effort it doesn’t take for simple things.

Man thanks so much for your kindness and attention to detail to post this. These are all of the things that I have tried and they just don’t work for me.
I also do a lot of film scoring and need my OP1f to be a decent monitor device. The feedback is just “always there “. It’s too much of a risk and it causes too much noise even at low volumes.

Let me also add that even if you record at low enough volumes to not feedback, you still can’t use the click in Curbase because it will get folded back into the recording as well.

That I’ll have to look into because that hasn’t happens to me . It comes out rather clear actually…maybe do a screen recording to post and so I can try to replicate it
And my pleasure, I’m always happy to help a fellow TE/OP1 lover and user.

(SIDE BAR- if you use Cubasis for film scoring like I do sometimes, please look into Iconica sketch. It’s a $20 add on/auv3 for the absolute best film scoring library of orchestral suites for the iPad. It’s absolutely tremendous and you don’t need SWAM for ultra realistic cinematic symphonies …. Trust me, when it’s on sale it’s so worth getting for Cubasis 3.)

Thanks. I’ll check it out.
I use a ton of stuff from piano book and decent sampler is amazing.

I agree, i would like to apply FX and Eq, per track and also the hability to have 2 FX per synth engine patch… a lot of times i have to use a filter for a synth and then i cant any other fx unless its a master affecting everything… i feel like the editing capabilities would greatly benefit for an FX stage per track also id like at LEAST a chorus effect… such a classic fx should not be out of the scope of this device…. But i think they should drop more FX and engines… sporadic drum packs too

Yeah, this has really bothered me since the OG-1: the workflow is you’re either tracking stuff from synth/drums to tape, or mixing the tape to album.
This means that during tracking, the master EQ/FX/Compressor block is just sitting there useless – please! let me toggle that block between pre- and post-tape!
Having eq+dynamics control pre-tape (like any useful channel strip would have) would be soooooo useful, and as you mention it would allow using a filter alongside some other fx (and IME a filter is very necessary for many of the synth engines, which generate tons of high freq content).
(If anyone has ever managed to get a workflow involving Ear to work, please lmk – in theory you should be able to use Ear to capture the master eq/fx/compressor to tape, but in practice it always completely fucked my levels (and also then you can’t monitor the other tape tracks, you can only operate with a solo track).)

Yeah i agree , idk why TE has a hard time listening to the community….
Stuff like 2 fx slots per synth. Fx + eq per track and uodated sequencers should be the minimum….
Then quality of life stuff like silent fx browsing… i hate that they trigger out loud when selecting… and in the drum sampler engine a way to change one of the parameters globally to all keys , smtimes i sample on the drum engine and i wamma pitch stuff down or up globally but gotta go one by one…. We are so close to this being a perfect machine but they dont listen

It’s already August. I think TE is done with the OP-1f.
I still like it a lot. And I like my TX-6, it’s very useful. But I sold my OP-XY and I think I’m done with TE. It’s too much to spend for slow progress, lack of concern for the user base, and many frustrations.
If they come out with something truly awesome and complete I’ll change my mind but I’m not holding my breath. Life is way too short to wait years for simple things from rich people to materialize.

ok, i’ll bite- what is the op-1f missing that you wish it had? and where and when did you get the impression that these missing features would roll out in a firmware update?
Dang, dude, just go back to the top of this post and read everything.

yeah i was asking @opsr specifically what features were missing. also, my second question still applies to everything in this thread- where and when did you get the impression that these missing features would roll out in a firmware update?
i’m not “defending” TE or saying i wouldn’t be happy with op-1f getting more features. but its hilarious to be like “It’s too much to spend for slow progress, lack of concern for the user base” and “f they come out with something truly awesome and complete…” like what does complete mean to anyone, by what metric?
y’all love to be dramatic = “Life is way too short to wait years for simple things from rich people to materialize.” yes, life is too short to have this attitude. i’m enjoying the fuck out of playing my op-1f for what it is now instead of being hyperbolic and saying shit that don’t make no sense.

Not a single person is saying they aren’t enjoying their op1f.
But, TE DID originally announce many updates that would expand this unit past what was first being introduced. Where is that announcement and video? I don’t know. It’s suspicious that every time I go to find the original announcement by TE and the original video that it’s all been taken down.
Did I dream it? Did multiple people who I talk to dream it? Are we living in an AI simulation? I don’t know.
But I can tell you this, I don’t “willy-nilly” buy a product for 2k unless it promised something. I’m not in the habit in my life of bitching about things that I “might have imagined”. It would be different if I was on an island on this subject but I’m not.
Do I enjoy my op1f as is? Absolutely. Was I promised expansions that would take it to new heights? Absolutely.
One thing is for sure, life is too short. If you enjoy your unit, fine. If others don’t and expected more (that was promised) then don’t shame them. Read the room. Read the situation and say “I disagree. I’ll let them be”.
Question though? Why does TE even have a suggestion page if they don’t actually listen to what people want? There are basic things people have been BEGGING for for a while.

i don’t know if i’m reading the room, but i’m reading what you wrote at least.
i’m just saying that you’re all worked up about a situation that you’ve created in your own head. on your own. TE updated the op-1f. it got velocity sensitive keys. a vocoder. whatever effect. that they didn’t update with what you specifically wanted is sad in that you really wanted it, but it was never specifically promised.
unless TE stated concretely, we will put out XYZ features by XYZ date then you can’t be mad at them. only mad at yourself for living in some sort of other reality.

Wait, they announced an OP-XY-Z? 
Sorry! Couldn’t resist!

Ha ha ha ha ha! They did announce one and it cost $30,000!
yeah they announced it and i’m so mad that it didn’t come out because its simple to make one of those and they are just rich and laughing at all of us and i just sold all my TE stuff but at very low prices because i want to make a statement that i think they really suck and if i sell my op-1f for anything more than $500 then its like saying they don’t suck that much so i actually paid someone to take all my TE gear and anyway i’m still mad.
