Recorded op1 tracks on the 2880. Monomachine sequencing the Telemark. Machinedrum on drums. I didn't come up with a lead so I just scrambled around on the op1 keyboard sort of improve style.  Very heavy use of the compressor here, it sounds kind of interesting in headphones, horrible on little desk speakers.

AudioDoodles..



Playing around more on the Op1. I don't play keyboard, so it was fun discovering this scale, which it seems is F-minor? Anyway, at least I am learning something over the course of time.

I'm just going to start calling these all AudioDoodles... I still love the op1, its awesome, nuff said.

FantasticleWorld - playing with the OP1


The Op-1 arrived a couple of days ago, I wanted to experiment a lot more, but I ended up getting caught making a track straight off the bat. Great fun! The voice was sampled from the internal radio.
Goods:
Easily playable, intuitive, great interface, recording, looping, fm radio for sampling, super fun and addictive, amazing tech squeezed in (that's why its so heavy I guess).

Not so good:
No midi clock sync, crashes a _TON_ when doing tape edits (although it boots back up with no loss, just takes time and funks up the workflow), faint but audible high pitch noises.

Verdict:
I love it!

I got a Machinedrum a few days ago and had a great time with the realtime sampling. Wicked machine!
Also used: Ipad and a Kaoss pad off screen.
Apps: Polychord, SSquares.

Polyoptics: miniSet worksession - ESX, Monomachine, Telemark, Ipad, Kaoss pads.



2 tracks squished together. Not a very smooth transition, but good practice!
I made a midi layout for this track on the ipad to help control a bunch of stuff without having to swap my hands around so much.
