And here’s a scarred and broken little thing -
Today I have not usual stuff… duo with Natalia who is a vocalist
Hiya, folks–
I am a baby musician and picked up an OP-1 Field earlier in the year. I’ve been utterly enamored with it. I took a step out and published my first song today and I’m very proud of it!
A DAWless execution that leverages a number of sounds around my home.

(Double post with op1 tracks thread)
Live thing from last weekend for h.em.tx. Mostly reuse of tape regions from Jan and Feb, with some layers added by “the great conjunction”.
Mixing unsynced between 3 machines (2 op1, 1 op1f).
Dude. This is just raw? Ace
Yep, played live on the bench =)
Recently I’m discovering another piece of gear - Elektron Digitakt 2.
Here you have a marriage of Op1-field na Digi:
This video is part of a series called “Rhythm first”, so you can hear more stuff on the channel devoted to rhythm exploration.
this is awesome!!
i just finished the final track to my first album:
https://soundcloud.com/chris-covney/break-through-the-noise?in=chris-covney/sets/enigmatic-electronica
the album is in my soundcloud but i hope to release it soon on bandcamp with some extra bonus stuff like soundpacks for the op1f, og1, opz, and po32 that i made as part of the album, and maybe the full op1f tape project files too.
hope you enjoy!
Still listening to this track, but it’s awesome! Great ambience, I love it. Is that guitar recorded into the op-1 or is that an op-1 synth patch that sounds like guitar?
thank you so much for checking it out. appreciate the kind words ![]()
that was my fender telecaster that i plugged right into the op1f line input with the terminal effect for some distortion.
Wow was so nice listening☺️ the transitions are so seamless-smooth that the pice feels like one big movement.
Exited about your album:smiling_face:![]()
thanks you so much for listening to it and your supportive words! it really means a lot to me. im very excited too
its been a long process and very fun process
i’ve just now officially finally released my first album! it was recorded and produced entirely on the op-1 field, tx-6, and tp-7 with no post processing. it’s a blend of modern jazz and electronic/idm and it aims to capture my nintendo childhood with my current jazz adulthood lol. for now it’s on bandcamp, and the raw takes are on my soundcloud. you can view the liner notes on my website if you want to read more about it!

ps the album comes with preset/sample packs for op-1, og-1, op-z, po-32, and one-shots from the album!
The OP1 field is a Swiss Army knife in my setup. Here is a Dawless jam built around a vocal sample taken from “There will be blood”. It’s taken from YouTube on an iPhone usb C direct to OP1. Run through the onboard delay, easy and sounds great.
I love the new Amp. Here is a track based on a guitar riff and enjoying layering additional guitar and synth tracks. The multi lift and shift-drop function was very helpful. I can’t believe it automatically bounces it with the mixer levels. Shortcuts the whole process of bouncing.
Hey everybody,
I’ve been slowly getting back into doing some tunes after I got an Op-1 field last year. I think one of the things I most appreciate about it (small thing but feels big to me) is that the sound is clean when you record in from the line in. (There was always a bit of a strange noise on the line in of the OG Op-1).
So this is an acid track, probably one of the first techno oriented tracks I’ve made that I actually like.
I used my MachineDrum to send clock to my x0xb0x and recorded me tweaking an acid line through our lovely new Amp “synth”. Then I added drums and a really nice reverse reverb thing (recorded my acid line backwards with Mother fully wet onto another track). It’s a simple track, but sounds pretty banging ![]()

Here’s a kind of chill ambient thing I did a couple of weeks back but I quite like it.
There’s a hi hats part that slowly degrades throughout the track by going from a very dry Mother setting to a very wet one while also tinkering with the parameter that cuts the tail off the reverb. You don’t really notice it at first because you’re more focused on the chords and melody (which reminds me a bit of Global Communication from the 90’s) and when you realize it’s happening it adds some nice subtle nuance.
Quite short and simple, but I like it ![]()
