Definitely not overly technical. I figured since I got the manual for the OT printed finally I’m gonna study it and save up for an op-1 or the soma labs pulsar-23 so I can learn my device I have and get something I’ve really been eyeing.

Yeah I printed the manual at the library then I got an iPhone/iPad USB adapter for my midi keyboard I have no reason to buy anything until I’m 100% acquainted with my Octatrack. I could make really good music with what I have if I just make it

Well, the fx really suck! So if the fx are boo-boo in the companion, it’s a situation pretty hurt. The OP-z doesnt have anything to write home to mom. The two paired make for sounds like gimmicks. So then you’re looking at the need for a processor. I’ve got my mind toward a MOD DUO X, or maybe a ZOIA if I miss my shot at a Mod.

You’re going to hit a quick wall with that thing. Just four parts, tape. With pretty slim fx options. It’s kid sister gives four times brainiac-ishness, yet still keeps slim choice for fx. Caustic 3 is pretty impressive for android/ iOS. Plus fx modulations can be captured in song mode allowing use as instrumentation.

I have a OT and a Push 2 and they’re pretty amazing together. Making a million clips of different OT tracks in different scenes/freeze echo performances. Then organizing it into a tidy song. Also (shhhhhh dont tell anyone) (you can PLOCK anything on Push2 midi step sequencer)

yeah i think i want the op-1 since i say the swedish house mafia video years ago and since then the GAS has been real.
i guess a pulsar-23, push-2 and some uber great FM synth is what ill have in the future, for now ill use what i got

OP1 was definitely worth it (for the normal income musician) a couple years ago (and even then its a bit of a stretch) but it’s price point now puts it in with some much more powerful devices (MPC live, push(w full abe), OT, deluge, 2 DT’s lol) so its harder to justify. But what it does at its size and portable standalonliness still doesnt really have competitors (ipad apps) even after 8 years lol. Crazy. But they’re all just different cars to get to the same place.

I changed DT for DN to go with OT. Great combo + you can use CUE to send OT to juicy DN effects.

I’d suggest a Minilogue. Either og, or xd.
You get a wonderful sounding 4 voice analog poly synth of which every parameter can be controlled from the OT. You get 24 midi LFOs from the OT as well, which along with p-locking gives you almost modular like capabilities.
You should keep a list of the Minilogue’s midi cc values at hand, though.

Can’t go wrong with an Analog 4 - get the black one

Agreed. The important thing is to decide your destination, and how you’d like to get there.
Are you kidding me !! 
Who on earth flagged that as offensive?

I use it with something that can act as a send return for FX and also as a synth/drum machine. Like ZOIA or an Organelle.
Will probably get an analog keys at some point.
I had an organelle. I might get the new one later just for the new ram in it I sold it because it crashed every time I made a patch on orac.
If you want some sound advice: don’t let the Russians meddle with your business, things might rapidly get out of control 
Not me, I have a sense of humor! 
is it possible for you show me what you mean about Plocking?

I absolutely love the Op-1. Endless possibilities.
Not for everyone tho.
