I’ve had my OP-1 for a little over a year now but I’m just starting to get into a steady habit of using it after several periods of on and off usage. I think previously I was a little too precious about how I made stuff on it. I want to start sharing more work so I quickly threw together an album of what I feel like is sketchy junk kind of work, just to sort of clear out the pipes and get something out there. I had a lot of fun, learned a lot and felt a liberated every time I erased the whole tape to work on something new. Well, here it is!
My first track on the OP-1, my first on anything actually. I love soundtrack and ambient stuff and ended up with this dark sounding piece. I am currently awaiting the arrival of an Eventide Space so cant wait to do more stuff like this and put it through that.
Hello fellow operators! Here is an album of electro songs I released earlier this month, made entirely on an OP-1. It is called Quest Hymns. Have a listen on bandcamp (or don’t, I’m not the cops).
PS I hope this is the right place for this type of thing
I did a cover of “Rydeen” by Yellow Magic Orchestra to see how much I could learn, which was a lot! I ran out of patience before I could add the details like all the different snare fills and more layering, but still pretty happy with the result.
my band, the warehouse ravers, have a new track out. hope you enjoy. (we are also taking bookings for weddings and hen’s parties).
made on the OP1 and roland MV8000. samples from: drums – patrick adams, percussion – roland 727, strings – can’t remember but it’s an all time classic house track, vocals – debra cox, bass and organ – yamaha dx reface
@I3.rian - thanks, and yes all the tracks I’ve posted to this thread are tracked out, mixed and recorded to album on OP-1. I don’t use a DAW or any other post processing on them.
in some cases, I have used the OP-1 Drum Utility to make drum kits from drum sample packs. otherwise I sample directly into the device, almost exclusively from vinyl records…and when not from vinyl, it is usually from the built in radio.
i have other tracks I’ve made using Maschine, but don’t usually post those anywhere.
