The sketch sequencer is (in my opinion) the most powerful sequencer on the OP-1 and people are constantly dismissing it. Hold shift, turn the white knob to activate the grid and then it is basically a piano roll. You can play notes on the keyboard to jump to specific notes or drum sounds, use the white knob to jump around the sequence without drawing anything and then draw the notes length with the blue knob. Its awesome for drums. Especially drums that you want offset from the grid (no pun intended). Like endless it will even detune samples while playing the sequence in time. If you're not currently using it, give it a shot.
Yeah I did a video on sketch- I like it for wacky bass lines 😊
The crazy thing is, I almost always use the OP-Z when I have a melody in mind that I want to sequence because it allows me to go back and edit without having to redo the whole sequence like you have to do with the endless sequencer… but sketch can do that and I always forget! It’s definitely way more useful than the initial presentation lets on.
is this the most powerful sequencer in this thing? that's terrifying th-cam.com/video/ku4fMuWGz00/w-d-xo.html
etch-a-sketch
@@neonvoid In that example its not very impressive (admittedly) and I think its one of the reasons people dismiss the sketch sequencer completely. When you realize it's basically a quirky piano roll, it becomes much more powerful. With the grid activated, you can quickly make patterns that are both on and off the "grid". Its the only sequencer that allows that much control over where you place rhythmic elements (aside from playing things in live of course). Because of the etch-a-sketch nature of the sequencing it kind of feels like a really powerful step sequencer, but you can easily control the duration and offset of each hit while seeing the entire sequence at once. You can even adjust the pitch of all of the samples in real time while tracking to tape. The OP-1 isn't for everyone, but its a tool that I come back to over and over again despite having much more "powerful" gear because of its unique approach to the music making process and the immediacy of its production style.
@@FlyingSoulo I feel if TE would put the professional sequencer capabilities of the OPZ into the OP1 (which they could STILL do with a simple software update), instead of selling two separated devices, then NO ONE would complain about the OP1. The tape recording workflow is extreme divisive. They KNOW what a professional sequencer is, how it should work, why is it good, they CAN build it, they BUILT one - they just decided to sell it as a separated device. Bummer.
Also worth noting, if you hit play while the next loop is selected, it will jump right in in time
Thank you for this!
@@LiamKillen happy to help!

Proud of you dude. You’re killing it
Hey thx J! 🍻
You mention the SK-1. Wow.. that brings back memories. I dreamed of that keyboard while staring out the window on the school bus back in 1985. I loved the Art of Noise. Then I received it for my birthday that year. It was the coolest thing even before watching Ferris Bueller and his Emulator II in his bedroom. I was the hippest kid on the block. Yes.. fart noises were played to all sorts of tunes. I jammed with that keyboard until college then I lost track of it. My first solo project was named “Timistry” after the band Ministry.
I think my little brother and his friends yanked it and probably ruined it or lost it. Dude… I wish I had that little treasure once again! I might need to hit up Reverb and see..
I might actually do a video with that one soon 🤔
Love this! Definitely did not know these about the OP-1.
Glad to help ! :-)
Nice video! I never had the OG OP-1 so there's still a lot to learn. Once nice thing about the OP-1 field is that you can rename those user presets you save within the unit. This is great because I'm too lazy to upload to a computer, rename, then drop back into the unit.
Oh hell yes I love that they added that
Super tips Liam. I’m going to open the case and get back on the op-1 tonight. Cheers. Lee
Have some op1.fun
Awesome!!
Glad to hellpppp!
Nothing slips through the cracks ..no stone unturned .... " under your watch " .. always open to constructive comments ... climbing one step higher on the learning curve rungs with a spirit of appreciation and humility .. so helpful ..insightful ... easy flow ... . .. cheers to creativity ... learning and yes " thank you Jesus " ..
🍻
Thanks I enjoyed this.
🍻
I’m shocked you didn’t know about the skipping sequences (jumping around on the tape). That’s the main way I perform live with the op1!
I missed it! And based on what I read in forums, many others did as well!
On the minibrute 2s you have, the portamento is actually the glide knob, if you didn't know! You can turn the minibrute into a nice TB303 bass machine then add some glide to that acid!
I noticed that it’s killer for acid.
very helpful ty
Glad to help 😊
9:30 you know what's super fun about saving? if you load a preset number, and then make any changes to the preset, if you try to hold another number down to save your edits, it discards your edits and loads the other number you hit, even if you hold it down. you have to load a preset number slot, and save over that same number slot if you want to save.
I guess you’re saying that’s a bad thing? 🤔 to me as long as they’re snap shorted it’s ok- although even the snap shots are hard to keep track of
@@LiamKillen it's a bad thing if you want to save a sound but you loaded a snapshot three days prior and don't know what snapshot you're on. you can't save the sound at that point, you lose your edits
@@shatteredsquare Yep, not being able to tell if I've edited an existing snapshot called date+bunchofnumbers, and if i do hit save, is it going to save over the original date+bunchofnumbers is a big cause of paralysis for me...
Liam I’m excited to see you try the new op-1 field! Its an absolute game changer and i hope you get to make videos on it, i have received mine and i might have made my first single that i will upload today hopefully 🙏
Love to hear it! Haven’t picked one up yet
battery level check is a life changer
😏
This video should have been called “The things that people who don’t read the manual don’t know”
I’d predict that’s about 90% of OP-1 users 😂
Thanks Liam I’ve learned so much from you. I find the lack of pressure sensitive keys on the OP1 very limiting so using a Kenton usb midi host with my OP1 means I can hook up a keystep and record subtle changes in volume which transforms everything for my workflow, though the Kenton does need power which makes the set up less portable. I wish the OP1 field had this feature… is it easy to connect an external keyboard to the OP1 field? Be good to hear your take on this as Bluetooth has latency etc and the field has usbc so maybe an easier portable set up for this? Cheers!
Good move with the Keystep! Gotta try that out sometime 😊
Great video, but I'll be the guy this time. If you set the time and date (shift-help), then the saved snapshot presets save with a timestamp instead of "random numbers". Only slightly more useful, still have to take it to the computer to rename them ✌️
Thank you for this tis bit!
Hey can you do a video setting up how you record your OP1 videos? I notice you only have a line in, is that going into an audio interface? How do you record the video?
Thanks!
It’s going into the zoom h5 which I use to sync audio with visual in my video editor!
Hi Liam! I was wondering if you could tell me if you have any video on how to syng my OP-1 with Ableton! Thank you!
I do not!
@@LiamKillen Do you know if it is possible??
This might be an off topic question, but I got an OP-Z but its swing setting can only swing the 16th notes (so i cant use it for back jazz or blues players who swing the 8th note). Is the OP-1 capable of swinging 8ths is it just 16ths like the OP-Z?
I'm actually not sure! Wish I could help you there.
I been struggling with mines live on my page recently getting into sampling it’s challenging to loop and cut and get used to the tape
I have an op-1 sampling video queued up! Should be out in a couple weeks- stay tuned
@@LiamKillen you’re a blessing Bro!! I can’t chop and loop too well and it’s hard for me to catch and match using the metronome 😭
apart from the game, all of this is in the manual.
you could find a few more things that you may don't know there ;)
Pretty much all synth content on TH-cam is “from the manual” ;-)
Hi Liam, the original had a lot of pops and clicks when recording doing an ambient loop on tape. Has this been fixed with the field?
This might help: th-cam.com/users/shortsFPjNol0Fmw8?feature=share
@@LiamKillen sorry had a brain fart yesterday. I meant *Liam! My question is when you’re playing ambient chords and record on tape. When you stop recording it always clicks at the end of the loop. I’m trying to figure out how to have a smooth loop that blends somewhat
very noice
🍻
“Oh my god, that’s loud.” -Liam Killen 🤌
Lol it was 😂
gratzie mille
Glad to help
Yep. The best way to learn something on line is post a wrong thing about the thing you're trying to learn. LOL. I get it all the time!
I get destroyed on the reg
no helicopter game on the field... what did I even pay for...
😅
to demonstrate portamento properly you need to continue to hold the note you're leaving
Yup- as demonstrated in this video
I’m trying to mix this with my digitone and zoia lol
The only tough part is syncing
@@LiamKillen yeah I left for Thailand and had trouble getting a midi host box 📦 but I got one still trying to figure it out I wonder if on the Future we could use the OP-Z as a controller also that’ll be cool, I need to learn the piano 🎹
👍👍👍👍👍👍
🍻
the whales were actually dope💪
Portamento FTW!
Gm could used this 9n a android to SoundCloud
Noice
“Now it just sounds like a… whale and not an actual note” 😂
😮
Why dont you use two hands while playing the chopper game lol
Didn’t wanna cover the screen 😂
How could you no know about portamento lol
I never knew how to access it! Slipped through the crax
It's cool and fun but seriously OverPriced 1
I get that
I still can’t figure out wth anyone would buy the op-1. I don’t know what it is but i don’t like its sounds. It may have cool features but its definitely not worth that price point to me.
To me it’s one of the best idea sketchers in my arsenal
