exactly

i think this is wisdom… but if sweetwater get’s op-1s in anytime soon i doubt i will be able to resist. my first piece of equipment ever was a casio sk-1… :slight_smile:

Buy a Casio VL1 !
I have it but I think I’d exchange it for Op1 without problems. :sketchy:

If the market for used AKs were a bit more seller-friendly, I would. But now is not the time, and I might regret it.

So I’ve decided to just put some $ aside for the next couple paychecks and gift myself a shiny new OP-1 as an early present before x-mas.
I knew this day would come, eventually.

Additionally, the OP-Z is drawing some of my gaze.

Someone told me that battery replacement on the OP-1 has to be done at the factory and costs a fortune. Is that true? Perhaps it’s just a Japan thing. I was told to buy new because at least you have the warranty for a while if anything goes wrong.

My PO-28 is keeping my ToE in the TE water, for now :wink:

I’d also be really hesitant to buy anything with mini or micro USB connections secondhand. I’m really careful with them and haven’t lost one yet but they’re really fragile and I see them broken on stuff more than anything else. And they’re a real hassle to replace.

Ha, enjoy! Let us know how you get on with the OT+DT combo

#33

so… I received the Digitakt and I definitely liked the sound and the size. unfortunately it didnt add much to the party because I already have the OT. That being said the form factor, affordability and my sampler hoarding mentality was enough to keep it but my unit had a severe USB problem so back it went…

the OP had been on backorder from sweetwater but is arriving tomorrow :smiley:

I can see a lot of potential with a DT and OT combo. Having one manage rhythm while the other does some mad shit sounds like a cool combo. Suppose the OP-1 would allow that too I guess. I did like how easy it was to get flying with one sample on the DT though - very inspiring.
