Wake Yo’ Punk Ass Up - OP-XY Beat 🔘🔘🔘🔘
Beat made entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY. I’ve had this sample for a few years, I’ve messed with it on the MPC but never got it to work, but somehow the workflow on the XY clicked and I flipped it in a way that I’m happy with. Added a bassline using a bass sample on the multi sampler engine and a couple of tracks of “flourishes”.
When I finished it, it felt like it needed an MC Eiht vocal sample to complete it. “Geeah!”

Gotta Be the Illest Brother to Claim Respect - OP-XY Beat 🔘🔘🔘🔘

I flipped the Ahmad Jamal sample that DJ Premier used on the breakdown of “Illest Brother” using the Teenage Engineering OP-XY. There’s hundreds of samples on that one record that you can use in a million ways. Whole beat made and sequenced standalone on the OP-XY. #beatmaking #teenageengineering #opxy #gangstarr #djpremier #guru

Recently got the OP-XY and I bloody love it! The sequencer is nearly as awesome as Elektron, but the thing is tiny. I used to have an OP-1 Field and while I loved it, I found it hard to make anything I liked on it. This OP-XY step sequencing workflow is exactly what I wanted and it handles samples great. I can then add some flourishes with some of the synth engines. I’ll be trying to figure out...

Here’s another beat crafted on the Elektron Digitakt 2! All samples were sequenced directly on the Digitakt 2, using track mutes and performance mode to shape the groove. The bass line has some filter automation recorded in with it. Some of the sounds come from the Digitone right beside it. I’ve already made around 40 beats on the Digitakt 2 within just a couple of weeks - the workflow just cli...

The quality of this video overall is phenomenal
I dunno about phenomenal but thanks! I’m trying to make an effort, thanks for watching 👍🏼
great!
Do you feel this is the best groovebox ever made due to its size and portability?
It’s definitely up there. The workflow clicks with me & the portability is second to none. Plus I haven’t charged it yet, the battery is amazing.
🔥🔥🔥
Chill vibes 🔥🔥🔥
How are you liking the XY?
Great work 👍
O que me sobra? Dinheiro maconha e buceta 😎🌿🇧🇷✊🏽

So groovy beat! Great job Want op-xy too)🔥
Yeaaaassa 🔊🔊🔊
Love this my man! Would love to see a vid of your process, just got mine 🎉
This is absolutely beautifully made And the fact you chose this song is just awesome Really appreciate your content
Thanks man, I can still remember buying Daily Operation on tape when I was 12 years old in '92. I still have it, it's one of my all time favourites 👍🏼
@ oh man same here it was a sunny day in the Bronx and I just bought the Tape too. Here’s to us having the same memory with the release !
Cool 😎 👍
Dope.
fye
dope !!!! like the vibe on this
Holy shit! Thank you man, you made my day! 👊🏼
Excellent 👌🏻
Cool - sounds great
Can you record a sample in time while the beat is still playing in the loop?
@@how2blowup yeah you can sample while the beats playing, but its not like a live looper. You’ll still have to place your sample on the sequencer after it’s recorded. The sampler automatically gets rid of silence at the start of a sample, so if you were playing along something that comes in late you’d just have to drop it in the right place. You can nudge each step left and right as it’s playing to fine tune the timing. You can also resample whatever the xy is playing.
Them drums really knocking!
Thanks man, it’s a chopped break with some of the stock xy drum samples layered on top. Plus the compressor on the master really pumps the drums.
Smooth sound✨️✨️
Real nice!! 🔥
Good job 👍
Still dope. 2025 is almost here.
Dope!!
dope chops!
🔥🔥🔥
Are mute groups a thing on the OP-XY?
Sounding great btw!
Yeah, each key can be individually set to one shot, hold, loop or cut off. These are set to cut off. So it is a mute group, but it’s just one group per track, which is enough for me.
is this easy to set up? i saw a video where someone did this and had to load up the sample for every step and then adjust the start point for every sample. is that how you did it? thanks!
Yeah, it’s easy enough. You go along the keys and select the sample each time ( 2 knob twists, 2 seconds), then adjust each one with 2 knobs to set start and end points. I made 6 chops here in about a minute. Not a chore, enjoyed the process! The good thing is every chop is independent, so if you adjust the start of one it doesn’t affect the end of the one before it etc…
Cool 😎
Great stuff man!

Sounds good 👍

Sounds great
Thanks man!

Nice
👊🏼
Excellent. Love your work. I'm trying to REALLY learn the DII and I need to start one step at a time. These videos are simple, direct and great learning examples. Thanks. I just want to make short beats for now. Just like this.
The great thing about the Digitakt is that you can make great beats very simply. You can then learn little tricks and techniques and gradually sprinkle them in. I’ve been making beats for over 20 years and the Digitakt workflow clicked with me quicker than anything else I’ve ever used. The Elektron sequencer is amazing.
I want to do something very similar. I use song mode to achieve it though. Question: can yo RECORD the automation/live play that you do in the video WHILE IN SONG MODE so that it is captured in the overall project?
I’m not sure about in song mode, but when you’re live recording using the hold record then press play, anything you mess with is recorded. I’ve never done it but maybe you can start your song playing , then hold record and play and try messing with stuff to see if it gets baked in. Make sure you save a backup in case you ruin it! Let me know if it works, I’m gonna try it myself 👍🏼
Very smooth, Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for listening 👍🏼
This is really f*cling dope!!! Love the swing, the textures, the melody. Drum programming is super nice too!
Appreciate that, thanks for watching! 👍🏼
