Hey, all! Excited to be a part of this forum! Hereās the very first track I was able to make with my OP-1F and my OP-Z via USB input. This was all recorded today in a few hours at the coffee shop up the street.
I started by recording a live mix of the initial OP-Z track (with filtering and fading in a single take) to the ādisk miniā tape (track 4) and then spent a few hours adding claps, subtle drums, plinky piano, arpy arps, and a bass swell for good measure. Shared my tapes to my DAW via MTP and then added a slight pitch down to give it the feels.
I canāt explain how amazing it was to work on music in public. There was a moment where my eager hands deleted a chunk of the tape, but I was able to bridge the gap pretty easily. I see benefits in keeping both of these in my setup, with an appreciation for the power the OP-1F has and a natural gravitation towards the simplicity of the OP-Z.
Iām excited to try this again with a different genre in mind. Maybe I can actually do verses and key changes!
Itās been a while. This one was still somewhere in my tapedump. Revived it a little.
Happy Ostara! (Northern Hemisphere Spring Equinox)

Layers upon layers. Leads played live. ALL OP-1 sans normalization (thatās it!) in Audacity.
Enjoy,

He was only 45ā¦dedicating this one to my friend Thomasā¦all OP-1 and done on trains (NYCT subway, NJT commuter rail) except for some minimal limiting and normalization in Audacity.

Latest and greatest, itās been a frenetic Juneā¦all done on NJT Trains and NCYT Subway commutes except for fade-out at the end and normalization in Audacity!

Little melancholic ambient piece written during holiday capturing various choir samples from local radio stations.
For 808 day, an all OP1 masterpiece that took a month of commutes to finish! (Has my own samples of the 808 i used to own)
Had to factory reset a couple of days ago as i literally was pushing the limits of the OP1 with this one! (The tape audio would drop out for like 5 seconds when going to the beginning of the loop!)

Enjoy and happy 808!

The track is its own little thing.
Works perfect for a train commute in any weather.
Lovely piece. Cheers.
What a sonic ride.
Loved every second of it.
At some point, someone will have to compile some best of ambient from this forum.
Anyways.
Loved the track. Creative af as always
Made these two tracks with OP-1
this one is 100% OP-1 except the vocals and is about having a job:
and for this one I used the OP-1 as a 4 track recorder and to sequence the drums but the rest is Modal Cobalt8 plus Microfreak for the bassline, all recorded onto OP-1. Plus vocals added after:
