Just quick for anyone thinking about grabbing an op or anyone going through the workflow/limitations teething process. Had mine a couple of months now. Been through some love/hate but now at a point where I’m on it every day and it’s spitting out both full songs and sketches to take to daw/other hardware. Def a keeper.
For anyone with kids/scarce time with their full setup it smashes every other ‘portable’ option out there. If it had back-lit keys I’d probably never sleep…
Could almost be considered vandalism, but you could probably get glow in the dark stickers that could do the job for a wee while.
Another point with kids of a certain age, let them play with tombola or sketch and you may never have the chance to use your OP1 when they are around. :D
Oh, and glad to see you successfully made it through a rather rocky honeymoon period, I sensed it was touch and go for a while but you have reached that tipping point where the quirks morph from being workflow problems to quirks that promote creative workarounds where the magic happens!
Exactly!
We’re expecting and I’ve already though about my life to be from a music production perspective = OP1.
Also about to go through big house refurb and Im all set for the 12 weeks or so of no home studio = OP1.
Love hearing that people love the OP-1 as much as I love my OP-1!
@ghostly606 yeah been a weird honeymoon but it’s fully clicked now and I’m stoked on it. Using it way more than my other gear (home bedroom studio + 3 kids aged 4+under = thinking about your gear a lot more often than using it…). Excited to get round to using the drum sample utility app and dig in to that side of it a bit more. Only real gripe now is the small amount of user synth/sampler preset slots. Hit the limit this week so there’s gonna be constant juggling via USB. Not a deal breaker tho. Managed to mostly keep the kids off it so far but pretty sure once it feels less like ‘the shiny new thing’ they’ll get their hands on it a lot more 
@lefilou congrats, having kids is on another level, you’ll love it 
1 is hard work but I still had time for music, since we got outnumbered with 3 it’s a different story
Great to hear it,
And so nice to have your initial experiences recorded with detail
