OP-1 Tips and Tricks

De rien mon bon :slight_smile:

could anyone tell me what exactly is going on in arpeggio?
in regards to none/once/each/all/trig,
as well as the settings of 0-1-2-3?

I may be dumb but I can’t get a grip on what the changes do…


Hello, here is my trick for programing drums on the Endless Sequencer":


You can use TE’s printable templates for PO-12 for that.

Nice one, didn’t know about that. Thanks

what do you mean by programming drums in the endless sequenzer? why do i need a paper sheet for that?

Well, if the sequence is complicated and has 32 steps (or more) and plenty of silences etc etc it helps me to write it down first on a grid sheet. Then it’s easier to look at my notes while typing it in the endless sequencer. And if I mess it up I can redo it quickly as well. Nothing groundbreaking, just notes really.

Or just to remember it after some time because there no pattern memory in OP-1 :slight_smile:

Couldn’t have said it better!

Ah i see that makes sense! =)

Don’t remember if this was a feature of the non-beta OS but you can now stick your own patches in the actual OP-1 folders. For example, you can get a 6 second aiff and name it “whatever”. Put the OP-1 in DISK mode. Within synth, you can make a “sampler” folder. You can then take “whatever” and put it inside “sampler”. When you boot up and check your SAMPLER folder, WHATEVER will be there.


Peace,

Nice find Samurai1v_v7Black, I didnt knew that :slight_smile:

@LyingDalai it’s outrageous that pen and paper has to be resorted to. This is 2016! Come on, TE- saving sequences shouldn’t have to be done on pen and paper.

Maybe that’s exactly what they want you to do though. Think about it: You just need to get yourself a little black book with squared paper and you can keep all your favourite beats in it. Like a cookbook for music. My hipster senses are tingling so it’s probably a very good fit with the OP-1 :wink:

Btw, if you’re into HADS you might want to look a more “natural” solutions like marking a piece of wood or planting flowers according to beat patterns.

Ahaha you’re killing it guys !

Just got an OP1 and this thread is blowing my mind. Thanks all!

I’d love to see a sequencer that conforms to the tape metronome, so we could properly bang in live patterns. It’s really a must. Especially for drums.

Time-streching with the G force sensor is pretty radical! Settings are much like 5StarNomads at the beginning of this glorious thread, although depth is turned to -100 and sample playback is Play to End. It almost acts as a granular synth when tilted at the right angle, but is quite finicky!

Vanilla sun : I never understood what was going on in that time stretching video. How do you get the effect you posted?

I’ve got the g force sensor changing the playback of samples (foreward and backwards) by flipping it upside down.

Sample settings;
Set the start and end to whatever you like, then turn the red knob till you’re at the arrow with a line

Lfo settings;
Choose element, G force, depth -100, synth/drum as destination, and the parameter is inbetween the green and blue dots.

Now when you press a key you can vary the direction samples play by flipping OP upside down. There is a sweet spot around the middle that you can get very slow playback and glitchy FX.
