Since the gorgeous music has been commented on extensively I just want to give a shout to the clean, lovely visual style you crafted for each song. Elegant and understated cinematography. Thank you for taking the time to make everything look great!
I somehow remembered the title to your Autechre OPZ video and figured you would have some fire OPXY content coming up. You did not disappoint, big fan of your style :) you really know your way around a sequencer.
@@BorisBerger thank you, a little tidbit is that it doesn’t use any samples it’s all synthesized. It started as an exploration of how far I can push the synth engines..
I love this quiet ambient piece in the middle, remembers me on some electronic recordings from the Barent Sea: have to revisit your video with proper listening equipment and dig up the album
@@el_dani actually I get similar pictures, listening to that project. I’ve dozed off for hours listening to it. I think the movement of it that gives me pictures of the cold ocean
I am totally loving everyone bitching about the price of this thing. People are just trained on cheap electronics. I mean it's not that far away from a top smartphone. Premium things cost premium prices.
Did you notice any changes to the sequencer from the Z? I wish they would have included a scale mode for inputing notes in addition to the transposition track/THE BRAIN 🧠 Great tracks as always. You were the king of the OP-Z in my book.
Finally, some demos that are solid amidst an ocean of bad music, which made it seem like the OP-XY was just a toy for spoiled kids. So there are people who buy the OP-XY and actually have musical taste. That’s reassuring. Very interested myself, but the price barrier is still holding me back… I mean, I should probably think about saving for retirement, right?
Why are so Many People so mean and negative in the comments under XY Videos ? If you like this Musical Style why dont just compliment and be nice, without shitting on other Videos ?
ZzZzZzZz is wonderful. I was wondering if this machine could produce drones and softer sounds. Seems capable. Looks to be a much faster workflow then the Field, what would be the longest song or program you could create or is there a limit? Could you go 15-20 minutes per program? Thank you for your work, talent and feedback, helps greatly.
Lovely sounds. For this price, I have a nit pick with how the LED lighting bleeds through the entire body of last four white sequencer buttons. Wish the plastic was thicker to avoid that as it reminds me too much of cheap plastic. At this price premium, perfection is expected.
Very nice usage of these massively overpriced device. I really like it! Bravo! BTW: did you think about Synthstrom Deluge? Portable, battery powered multiengine synth with unlimited number of tracks and unlimited length of each track - a little bit bigger than OP-XY but so many more features! Cheers!
Thanks :). i have not though about the Deluge mainly due to two things, its looks like shortcut command hell and i really do not enjoy grid sequencers and keyboards. for me setting a fixed scale kind of inhibits my creativty
@@MichaalHell Honestly it is easier in usage than it looks like - there are exposed buttons for almost everything so you have super fast access to all functions without digging in endless menus. Extremally elastic modulation options, euclidean sequencing, randomness, CV in/outs - all that makes it a Swiss Army Knife in a synthesizers/sequencers/samplers/grooveboxes world. People say that if something can do everything, it actually can't do anything well.... I think Deluge is a contr-example for this statement. Worth tor try - especially now when community firmware is expending functions of this device beyond imaginable barriers.
The deluge is the only thing that actually seems to be somewhat comparable to the OP series. I would argue that the portability factor and size is still the biggest caveat, but like you said it seems to have a ton more flexibility- I definitely want to try one!
@@WHYZMAN_ I watcher review of Ricky Tinez and to be honest - OP-XY is like a toy in comparison to Deluge. It has nice graphics, the feature with auto-transpose is quite unique... but it is missing so many basic function that it is a little bit crazy that they ask so much for this instrument. And how the heck it's possible that you have to use 4 -fingers combination on this device!
Great demos, thanks for sharing. The ambient track in the middle intrigues me, would you say this device is suited for that type of music? dark ambient, berlin school, lofi synthwave type stuff? trying to debate a purchase
Best? example thus far! - So, in the first track, there was a lot of transposing an Arp to follow different chords. How did you do it, with this particular user interface?
@@tendingtropic7778 yes, it’s its own track, you can let that track analyze the notes in your patterns or you can lock everything within a scale of your choice
@@samprock yes exactly, you arrange scenes in song mode by stacking them chronologically, you have 32 slots for scenes per song. Each scene contain a selection patterns and you have 99 scenes per project
Thank you, its a fairly simple pattern with only three synth tracks involved. Brain transposing the three sequences and i have two brain clips which are alternating. most of the Crunch is actually from the cranked up delay with some added saturation from the saturator and master compressor.
Check out Ricky Tinez’ latest video, he showcases a guitar preset in the sampling or synth engines. He uses it with a chord player and it sounds shockingly good. I thought he sampled someone actually playing guitar.
I know you can program different velocities, but is it velocity sensitive? The piano sound is actually decent and sometimes piano is what I love to pull up when composing
@@erikmartinez9460 it is velocity sensitive. And regarding the piano sound on the first sound, that is my own multi sample from sampling my shitty out of tune piano directly from the XY mic, so it’s not really a great demonstrator of a proper piano sound 😆
@ is that why it sounded so warm and cozy 😂 very inspiring piano you’ve got there. Thanks for the response. It does help justify adding it to my wishlist 😮💨
@MichaalHell oh shit like you don't own one at all?! Ok another question how did you load ya stuff on to Bandcamp. I have a hybrid studio where I use hardware and software. Trying to see if I would use this in my set up rn
Even with a talented beat maker like yourself these tracks do not convince me of the price point. The problem with many TE instruments is their sound, good with the drums but most of their synth sounds are grainy and eventually all sound the same and with a mushy blend. For the price of a 98 Toyota it should sound better but I guess that’s what you get with digital.
@@bonwowo i think Thats the thing, you’ve Only taken a glance. It had a lot of unique things other groveboxes don’t have. But if you’re not feeling it, that is ok as well, we all have different tastes and preferences! Take care
@@MichaalHellim curious, because i cant see it from demos that are now online;) your demo is neat but it reminds me a lot of Syntakt with added sampling and of course polyphony;) i just remember when i saw vids of op-1 in 2010 and was so surprised by innovation of it. i always thought that when TE will release successor to it that it will be step up innovation and i feel its just okay successor. of course it can do a lot more than op-1, but for now it seems like not so new, as even op-z product felt. thats why i feel kinda dissappointed by TE, because even if many of products from last years were overpriced they were surprising me with ideas, while op-xy seems like something that could be imagined by regular users. but im curious about more music from op-xy and loved beats and beautifully emotional melodies you put here:)
@ i think putting up a hype campaign as TE did for OP-XY is a bit problematic because you cause people to start imagining impossible things of what the device will be, especially when it comes to a company like TE. So I partially blame that for people being let down. A year ago EVERYONE was asking for a Op-Z Field and when it arrives then people are let down.
Cool demos. Am I correct that this doesn't have radio? And if that's true, then why does the XY have that white little 'notch' where the radio antenna is on the op-1f? Cheers.
Excellent work, you always deliver!
as do you.

Amazing work, esp in such a short period of time after release. Convinced me to get one too
Amazing tracks here… dang it I really want one. Seems like a very inspiring piece of gear!
5 magnificent tracks.
Sounds really good man!
These are incredible!
It's a cool device. And certainly capable. Its right up my alley but I'm patient to wait for used sales.

@@MichaalHell thanks for replying. is is also easy to export the midi of each track (multitrack?) via usb-c to a daw?
