I love the tape workflow because it makes me pay attention to everything I do on the OP-1f. It reminds me of the first 15 years of my musical life where I wrote and recorded full songs on actual 4-track tape. You really need to think things through and it kills the DAW tendency to revise infinitely.

Great video! One arranging technique I use is to work in two tapes. One tape is my “working” area where I compose, sound design and bounce. The other tape is my arrangement tape where I work out the structure. The nice thing about doing it this way is you can lift/drop bounced sections from the working tape to the arrangement tape and get a clean layout of your song. This also leaves three tracks open on the arrangement tape for solos, flourishes and transitions across song sections.

Love your content as always :) The sliding a take around is super handy - it is in the manual, without much description though. On the 'tape mode' page it's called "slide a take". I only bought my OG shortly before the Field came out (that's always the way) but I used this on that to get some stereo delay happening, since OG only had mono tracks. Lift and drop a track back, then drop it to another track also... pan each slightly left and right then slide one forwards ever so slightly. You then get a panning delay where each note hits one speaker later.

Hey a tip about the drums, I recently got the Akai mpd218 drumpad (mpc beats software completely free), works well with the op-1 except that you need to just shift the first F4 key as the drum pad can never pick it up or map it right, I tried everything with the software that it comes with to no avail. However, the drumpad really gives you a lot of freedom to experiment and you can either record freestyle or encode it into the endless drum looper later. I like my beat to be a bit humanized so it’s not 100% quantized. Thank you for this video I learned a ton!

Wow, thanks! I didn't know about the feature where you can drag a sound around using the knob. It even works on the original OP-1. I'm thinking a good process for the og OP-1, since the tracks are mono, is to set the four tracks to different panning lanes, like 1 and 4 are far left and right and 2 and 3 are straddling the middle. Then you have to use overdub to add things to the pan area you want, and use lift and drop to undo mistakes.

RE clicks and pops: one strategy that i stumbled upon that really does seem to reduce their incidence significantly is to record with the loop ACTIVE and let the recording go back around to the beginning of the loop, dont stop recording before the end, let it loop back with the silence and then stop recording. i dont know why it works but i used to always record without the loop active and then simply use the scissors to trim off the tail -- but when i do that, i get more clicks/pops.

Clicks and pops suck big time and it should be addressed by TE, I remember at some point og op-1 got it sorta in control with a firmware upgrade but it’s just a mess now on the field. One thing that seems obvious to me is that they happen when you cut on a loop point or when you record with loop on… I try to avoid them by: 1) never looping while recording 2) make sure to slice on silence, and then make sure again that it didn’t trigger a pop because it wasn’t “real silence” But it’s just hopeless, sometimes I just realize I had a poppy slice and didn’t notice and hate the world…

Somehow the thing passed me by for years, perhaps because I'm old school and just haven't really learned to accept that it's technically possible today to make an instrument the size of a Casio VL-1 that can take on the tasks of a workstation and therefore probably would have ignored it on principle anyway... I've must definitely gotten old!

First of all, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a note. I could do a whole video on my path to the OP1. But what I really wanna do is mention that as wonderful as this thing is, it definitely does not do everything that a digital audio workstation does. Close! But no cigar. I started on a 4-track in my early teens, and the only reason why I may seem like I’m championing this thing is because it brought me back to a way of writing that I’ve forgotten. On top of that, its synthesizers, sampling, and sequencers are so immediate, it becomes so easy to do things out of the ordinary. It’s a perfect storm for my creativity. Discovery and nostalgia all rolled into one. This thing single-handedly brought me out of an eight year drought. With that said, you should spend some time with one, but make sure you have a return policy. The first OP1 I bought went back after 2 weeks. I didn’t get it. 7-8 years later, it’s my (almost) everything. ✌🏼😎

@@NovakTheEnjoyer Thank you for your detailed explanation, reading this confirms my gut feeling that it would be best to deal with it practically. I also started with a four-track recorder a long time ago and this feeling of nostalgia resonates with me when I see the OP 1 :) - it even manages to record backwards, something I've never seen with any other digital synth! It's not that I don't imagine the OP1 as a fully-fledged workstation (I don't need it either, I still have a Kronos that still serves me wonderfully)... But perhaps as a compact, uncomplicated and easy-to-transport addition to the existing equipment. The new OP 1 costs a bit too much for me, but there are private offers in my area for around €700...

The field came out a few months later and with the feature upgrades, I was all in. It’s definitely a tricky workflow. All I can say is what works for me.

watched your video and the clicks and pops you can easily get rid of this is how you do it: go to the sampler choose the critical popy clicky sample and zoom in crop it to a place where you cant see wave forms and test it out same with the other end i owned the original op1 aswell and there it was a bigger issue but on the new field you can get rid of it easy!! hope that helped

and what comes into my mind i also want to share is the following you will love this : if you listen to a song and you have only drums playing in the beginning you can sample this aswell and make a whole (already mixed) drum kit out of it. or maybe you can find stems to download and sample just the drums and make a brilliant kit whcih is already been recorded in highest quality and you can play it everywhere i happend to know the producer of queen and other( rolling stones, elo ) reinhold mack personally just check him out he gave me some drum samples from the master track (he produced several albums with them) you can also find serveral websites with stems you can jerk around with cheers

I’ve had quite a bit of fun finding solo drum parts in songs by my favorite bands and trying their drums on for size. It’s so incredible that we can do that with the OP1. Is the best non-drummer I’ve ever jammed with 😃
