You bet!

USB C

@virtualflannel That's it? The audio and MIDI?

It’s got every type of output you could ask for, peep the manual. Audio out midi out, cv out, audio and midi over usb, wireless midi. It’s great!

@virtualflannel That sounds dope. What's your favorite feature?

The punch in fx, brain track and tape track are really fun. But it’s the overall workflow that really sets it apart, it’s so fast and fun.

I have a video called making a hip hop beat, and also a video of the final song

Yes tape track! It’s a really fun feature.

I agree, it’s TEs, best sounding synth yet imho.

Same, I suspect there is going to be lots added to this machine, so I’m very optimistic.

@ this can be a monster… really cool this product… but i need that to buy that thing

I def feel you! Stay tuned!

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

The OP-1 isn’t a sequencer. It’s not meant to be a sequencer.

Not better just different, OP1 is one of a kind with the tape as the center of the device. XY is more like a traditional groove box full TE style. Love em both.

@@virtualflannel Other than the workflow differences, what are the big differences between OP1 and XY? I'm thinking about buying one of them. Thanks.

they’re entirely different machines, different FX, filters, synth engines, etc.

@@virtualflannel it's a helluva lot better to me. To each his own

maybe 25 minutes or so.

Thank you!!!

No doubt!

For sure!

How is Teenage Engineering greedy? They make the 100$ PO series and 300$ EP series which are very affordable and great instruments. They are a very small company and the OP1 Field and XY are very cutting edge technology ahead of the curve. The build of their more expensive units along with their function unfortunately warrant the higher price tag. It’s an investment and a luxury, much like an analog synth or expensive rack mount mixing gear. I really want a Moog Muse, but can’t afford a 4000$ synth, but I’m not going to complain on the artwork of an artist who uses that instrument about how the company is greedy for making a product out of mine and most people’s price range.

​@@virtualflannel A) because I am entitled to my opinion. B) Because they are overpriced and like I said, accountability. Moog is an iconic and historic synth brand, not a luxury. I'm a designer, I understand branding, marketing, and product perception. That's what they are charging you for and I don't agree. You are paying for status. Tell me you don't feel "cool" for making this video. I don't want people to feel cool, I want people to be able to make music. What I'm advocating is that if we keep conforming, brands will keep pushing for profit and greed over culture and impact.

I disagree, this is more a window to your soul than valid argument. Food is over priced. This Synth is expensive, but it’s not overpriced. They are selling it at a price point that makes it a viable product to produce. They literally make the OP-Z a stripped down version for 500$

@@virtualflannel I respect your opinion.

@@batteries_not_incwhy not? Heard of Armani jeans? Boycott Starbucks for 5 dollar coffees. Go play with the others

No prob it’s weird exposing my process because it’s mostly fumbling about, but finding something cool in the end is always the goal.

They’re different, OP1 tape workflow makes it a one of a kind. XY is more like a super OPZ in the body of an OP1

🙏🖤 thanks! It’s honestly the easiest machine out there by far imho. That’s why I like it so much tbh. I futz about in most other hardware too much, think thing is really immediate. Also if you have any experience with the OP-1 or OP-Z you’re already more than half way there.

It doesn’t have a slice function yet, but I’m optimistic about the future.

U the best dude, thanks!!

Yup

I’m a beta tester, been using TE instruments for over a decade.

@virtualflannel I see, by the way, I'm a freelance logo designer, do you know anyone would love to have a logo? I'm trying to find more works to have more fund to get a new laptop and hopefully earn enough to move to Sweden too as soon as possible, any gig you know even is not related to logo design that I can take? :-)

All of the above and yes it’s WAY easier to learn than the elektrons.

Thanks for the good question, the first song took much longer than usual a couple hours, was kinda rusty and being a perfectionist. The other three only took a couple takes each, once I got into the flow by finishing the first one. The punch in FX to a certain extent I kinda just get lucky, but you can also sequence the punch in and tape effect and mute/unmute those tracks which means technically you can pre program your punch in fx.

@@AzinFiro really appreciate that. I might do some videos talking about the XY, but I knew there would already be a lot of that so just wanted to let people see the machine.

@@virtualflannel The more, the merrier! Likewise regarding more videos of this kind.

Definitely want to try sequencing the OP-1 via the XY

@ That would be so cool to see!!

No tape to record to in the XY, the tape track is just like on the OPZ for live manipulation.

It’s not limited at all, in fact I’d say it’s almost limitless. I’m a beta tester so I was lucky to receive one for testing purposes. The price is quite an investment, but I’d say you get more value in this device than say a Moog Muse. People think because it’s small it should be cheap, but it could maybe cost half the price if it was 4 times as big and didn’t have an internal battery. You get what you pay for, the OPZ costs 500$ XY is legitimately 5 times better than the Z for sure.

@@virtualflannel Limitless? Hmmm.... starting from the fact that you can't independently set envelope for each sound in a drum kit? :)
