OP-1 field

Has anyone found a simple way to set up the a/b morphing feature in the drum sampler? I feel like it’s an overlooked feature. But useful not only for morphing effects but also simply layering 2 drum sounds or having a choice on which sound to use for each particular key in 1 kit.

Easiest way i found is using https://digichain.brianbar.net/ (shout out to @brian3kb ) to merge 2 samples. Then dropping the merged sample into the TE drum tool so that the slice markers are set properly. Wish it was built into the TE tool to make it 1 less step

The OP Export UI is almost done, and will be in the next update which simplifies combining L / R into a single sample / slice - I just have some XY specific stuff to workout, and to add back in the UI elements to set the LR-panning/AB-mix on the key details. (I’ve been away recently for work and only got back earlier this week, so the release has been delayed by almost a month!).

In DigiChain as it stands (the currently live version on the site), if you are in the AIF 44.1 stereo config

The L / R tool in the sample list row is a slider to change the panning

If you double-click this, it will toggle between L/R and A/B per sample

The exported AIF audio file will have the appropriate config embedded within it for the OP-1 Field.

@enzo for quick & easy drum sample layering you could make internally using op-1F tape. Record one layer on track 1 panned hard left then the other layer panned hard right also to track 1 then lift/drop into the drum sampler. Use a sequencer (endless, finger etc.) to line up the timing of the samples recorded to tape.

Thank you! The part i was missing was lining up the drums. Endless is a smart way to do that

Hey! How’s the OP1 going now your back with it?

That’s great to hear!! I got one again in a trade and have been loving it. It’s been a while since I’ve had one, but it all just clicks. Though I’d forgotten about the master EQ and compressor settings being shared over all the tapes :man_facepalming:t2:

Yeah, the way I’m approaching it is that I still just write one song in the Field, and use the different tapes for effects, saving certain parts in their own place, that kind of stuff. So I got a master tape (the studio one) where I assemble the song, and then I got bits and pieces spread out over the porta and vintage tapes for various experimentation and effects, and bring the results I like into the master tape. It’s just not suited to write multiple songs over several tapes the way it’s designed now, so I just stopped fighting it and embraced this instead :slight_smile:

You’ve ditched Logic on the iPad then?

Yep. Ditched Logic on Mac too.

Only OP-1 now. And I mean only :slight_smile:

I’m heading the same way, but to the M8, which I didn’t foresee.

I still got it, but never use it. Still have some hope TE will provide a direct link between the OP-1 and the TP-7 and / or TX-6. But no luck so far.

Bro… lmao. I haven’t turned mine on in weeks. Actually I only use it when I’m making YouTube video for my audio. I would use it all the time if it had a real looper in it… that was the reason I bought it cause I started hearing how the next update was going to have a looper. I just assumed it was going to be a sound on sound looper. Let’s hope for a good update sooner than later.

Yeah, even if they do update it, I don’t know. It’ll likely leave me sooner rather than later. As long as I keep spitting out tracks I enjoy with the OP-1, the tape of TP-7 doesn’t add anything I need.

Which is a shame, cause I kinda love it all the same :slight_smile:
