Donā€™t get me wrong
I miss my op-z but this is makin me not care anymore about the loss that was

I think it this goes on sale for the prices some said the op1field brand new went for from retailer website (1400-1600) Iā€™m going to get one

I doubt the field was ever lower than 1600, but if not, then I could dream this might hit 1500

XY is really awesome

I was hastily going to ask how did you become a beta tester. Then I decided to check your videos and it made sense why TE chose you as a beta tester instead a synthfluencers with red arrow and a shocked pikachu face as thumbnails. Subscribed and thanks for your educational materials.

Thatā€™s great news to hear about the sound engines. Hopefully they will add many more over the next months/years. Iā€™d love to see some sort of Granular fx also. Not only for the XY but also for the op-1 field.

If not you know how to make it haha

Yeah my friend says the sound engines are as good as the op1F, I mean he ā€œprefersā€ them actually but I love the op-1f sound engines and I donā€™t think they are outdone by any means by the xY - but the XY has serious sound update from the op-z

But you didnā€™t have the op-z iirc

Anyway youā€™re gonna crush it and I look forward to your vids

Edit - oops, you were quoting, well ā€œmy friendā€ knows what I mean lol - string engine rules :wink:

Mine is all ordered from TE. Have any UK folks had theirs delivered or have you been notified itā€™s on the way?

I live in the UK and I ordered from TE on the 16th, I got the shipping confirmation today (21st). Due to be delivered early next week.

Hereā€™s a playlist of my in-depth videos on the OP-XY if anyone wantā€™s some info/inspiration. Walkthrough of Sampling, Synth Engines, Arranger and a step-by-step tutorial of making a song:

not on mine unfortunately, its too tight. i saw others reporting different things, sometimes the decksaver fits, sometimes you need to carve out a space for the pitch bendā€¦

Aside from the massive pitch bend issue Iā€™m having, I experienced what may be another bug or limitation.

I set a track to maximum length (4 bars + bar length 16), and began playing in live over a sequenced drum and bass pattern.

around the halfway point the track stopped recording in notes, but record remained armed and red (and I hadnā€™t pressed any buttons)

So I figure I hit the maximum note count possible. Tested it a couple more times and found that if I smashed in a bunch of notes it didnā€™t last long at all, like 8ish bars (again, tons of notes)

Maybe I missed it but I donā€™t recall hearing or thinking that there was a pattern data maximum?

78

I wonder if your broken pitch bend is swamping the track with midi data?

79

I was able to recreate this, so Iā€™ll record a video later to send TEā€™s way. I wondered if it was a track maximum like you mentioned, but I was able to slowly record in notes for 8 bars, then had a full 8 bars of cramming in a ton of notes, then it stopped recordingā€¦ maybe some kinda buffer issue? I donā€™t know what Iā€™m talking about.

Thanks for passing it along!

Iā€™m happy to write things here and elektronauts because I enjoy the forum and itā€™s publicly out there
but Iā€™m not a beta tester so Iā€™m not really gonna go through the process of submitting a bunch of tickets to TE :joy:
Thatā€™s what beta testers are for! Iā€™m just a regular schmo, who in the past has balked at folks who were vocal about the issues they were having.

Now on the other end of the stick I totally get it :rofl::face_with_spiral_eyes:

The op-xy really looks impressive, much deeper than the op-z, unfortunately I think it may lose the immediate workflow of the op-z, and its small format, which is what attracts me most of op-z. I hope to one day see a real op-z field, same small format, better build quality, and some of the op-xyā€™s improvements, until then Iā€™ll keep waiting for it.
