With it being so heavily inspired by the Z, is there any expectation that everything eventually gets brought over that’s missing at the moment?
It seems less focused on performance, and more on arrangement than the Z from what I’ve seen so far.
thanks mate!
final question for now: can’t find it in the manual when searching for the word ‘mute’
is it easy to mute/unmute tracks?
True. Looking back at their firmware history and its very sketchy. Is this because they cant implement features or cant be bothered to?
do you think you’d have been able to pull something off like that on the OP-Z?
also, where can i find your music?
and are you limited to 1 effect per track as on the op-1 field?
Super easy and several ways.
-
hold the synth button (or aux defensivt on What you want to mute) and press a track to mute the track
-
on the mixer page while active on a track press the 4th encoder to mute that track
Additionally hold one or serveras track buttons to solo. -
on the arranger hold shift and press a trafik to mute it. Changing scenes changes the mute status depending on the settings of the next scene.
Strange that theres no mention of muting in the manual

i actually quite like that you can browse the presets by category, hope they port this over to the op-1field

the search function on the pdf wouldn’t work at all for me. every search = zero results. might be a thing with the pdf.

ah that must be it
No, I don’t think I would have been close even.
I know because I’ve really tried

The first album (saturation) is completely done on the OP-Z going into a SP-404OG for compression.
The song Drud is probably one of my favorite songs ever made because I could never replicate it in a million years. In that song I’m performing changes to track speed and track length together with punch in FX via a midi controller. During that recording i had my first ever flow state moment while recording something where I was really one with the machine, it was such a cool experience.
All the while I had my then 6 months old boy in a Babybjorn on my chest. Nice memory

I don’t have an issue with touchscreen for step sequencing but also prefer physical knobs/sliders. I have a lot of portable devices- OP1F, Tracker Mini, MPC Live II and the Ableton Move (my current go to) but I still use my iPad (and iPhone) with AUM as much as all of them- with Apple Bluetooth headphones…no wires at all! (But in the studio with a USB 3 DAC.)- Like the camera guys always say- ‘‘the best camera you have is the one you have with you’’- same with sequencers- I always have my iPhone with me!
A agree about connecting more than 1 device with cables, a stupid concept for ‘in the field’ use, its why I wont be adding an XY to my OP1-F

It’s seems like they baked it, which is a decision I probably not would have taken

So i see there’s also a sampler. is it of the same quality as the op-1 field?
if so it makes me wonder why even want an op-1 field anymore?
wait: regarding the FX: im reading the manual.
do i understand correctly that it does not work as the op-1 field with 1 effect per track, but that you can send any track to a send FX (FX1 and FX2)?
Does this mean that:
- each track can have 2 FX
- you can only use 2 FX per project? (as you probably cant change the FXI / FXII sends per track)?
I understand that OP-1 Field does not allow the “undo” function. Do you know if this is possible with this XY?
Yes they added undo for op xy

You can only have two Fx going at the same time but you can instantly swap them out with help from the arranger.
You have 9 clips for each track per project so you can swap out Fx between clips and change the clips via scenes and song mode

OP-1 Field is for people that want a quirky synthesizer/sampler/digital recorder to explore and discover. OP-XY is for people that want an absolutely cracking sequencer/decent groovebox that can sit at the center of a DAWless setup. Judging from videos, it’s still the same value proposition as the OP-1 vs. OP-Z, except this time the sequencer is more expensive.
In my experience, the OP-Z punched well above its price point feature-wise but had too many compromises on durability. The XY has addressed this aggressively.

What makes it embarrassing is I can’t imagine someone pulling out a $2300 synth to whip up a quick beat while waiting for the train. That’s peak cringe even for me who’s obsessed with making music.
