Op1 : Tape track dropped to sampler.

I dropped a tape track into the drum sampler by accident, and ended up messing around for a bit. The op1 really lets you play with music easily. Super fun.

Octatrack Tryout #2

Slowly learning more about the octatrack.
There is a lot of distortion in this one and be warned: it gets a little loud in the middle. I never knew how much millage you could get from the same set of samples.

Octatrack tryout.

Testing out the octatrack. The loops are taken from a track I had laid out on the op1.

I am still figuring out the work flow, but in this case, after assigning the loops to tracks, I used the scenes functionality to play out the track live instead of patterns.

The octratack has freed this tune from being locked up in the op1. Next time I will get into patterns and banks more.

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.

Latest greatest, slow and hiphoppy, with some fun live play.

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!
