OP-1 field

I am so glad you said this cause i feel like the point is often missed.

I haven’t had the same issues but it’s an ongoing recurring problem with almost everything they make (people are already having quality issues with TX-6!)

High prices could be justified if they guaranteed premium quality equipment that might last a lifetime. They are choosing to make things harder for themselves and for fans

The synth sampler has loop fade and the drum sampler has an attack setting for each slice… so there’s a clear improvement there…

I’ve made some really cool synth samples using vocals and zoom stereo mics… I want to try sampling a group of people singing a note with a zoom recorder that would be really cool imo

Agree, but I really like the OP-Z encoders. I much prefer them over regular knobs. I never had the pop-out problem though.

The EP I posted in this post I fully made on the vintage tape, so all the saturation and compression (especially on the more bass tones) are a product of the vintage tape…

So take a listen if you feel like you need some more audio examples of it.

Sadly there isn’t any deeper settings for the different tape tracks.

It’s honestly my favorite part of the OP-Z I wish they would have added that to the Field… but maybe they were afraid of popping encoders

Apart of comparing SW to HW, which will usually give a bias to SW in flexibility, this was one of the single music apps that crashed on me a multiples times at multiple occasions so that I am reluctant to use it again. It was kind of disappointing. On the other hand the OP-1 OG…never had a single time an issue.

#1079

I believe the popping happened because they put the encoders in upside down. I guess that was a relatively easy fix once they realized.

Actually I was sitting in the shade…

Are you located in Germany and ordered at 2335€ at gear4music? I was wondering how the final price through thomann was going to be, but they haven’t listed it yet. They offer the og op-1 at the same price as gear4music though, so I’m guessing thomann will list the op-1 field for 2335€, too. Damn, that is really stretching it for me, I think I’ll have to sleep on the decision to order it a few more nights.

@MichaalHell another question: What’s the built-in mic like? Much improved over the OG?

#1083

I havent a/b it… but i havent noticed it really for better or worse… I have recorded some vocal takes into it and it’s been fine!

Why is there extra +300eur markup compared to TE store??:flushed:

#1085

To let anyone feel how TE is cheap with their 2k.

#1086

Dont forget the TE flash sale in 3 days time. Its only open for 1 hour.

2374€. I expected resellers getting stock much later but at a lesser price….

#1088

24hr battery life is good though. That cant be knocked.

#1089

Didn’t they originally claim 24 hours battery life with the OP-Z then have to change that down the road? Hopefully they’ve nailed that this time around

Yes my OP-1 never lasted as long as it should and the battery life meter was never accurate. I hope theyve improved that.

#1091

Mine could stay on for 6 hours, I think I even made it 8 hours once (4h train back and forth). Never seen my OP-1 shut down because it had no more juice.

#1092

Try prune juice next time.
