Mine just arrived today and so fun and powerful. These videos are helpful to those of us new to the OP-1.

Beautiful little machine! I would love to have one of these.

The voiceover could have used some de-essing though XD

[Psqwall]

Can you guys do a backing up video like this. It would be great to see the suggested method of data back up, storage, file folder system, and most important getting your OP1 to have custom kits and saving your stock sounds before losing them by sampling over them when they were not backed up

[imacomputer]

I always get distortion when pressing more than two keys. Like as soon as I press three keys down it makes a crackle sound. Even when plugged into speakers. =(

Guys, can we get a PO 32 Tonic export files for the OP1?? Or Recreate the Microtonic Drum Engine on the OP1??? I think it would double the sales for the old and new OP1 Field, and the PO 32 Tonic altogether... a supercombo!!

Keep 'em coming, these are good. Sure would like to see a tutorial on the new DSynth.

I do not have any experience with any kind of synthesizer. Is the Op-1 beginner friendly and is it even worth for me to buy it without knowledge about Synthesizers?

[thomassuma]

Hello, excuse me but i have a noize problem when the OP-1 MIDI ( with midi cable)is connected to the USB ports ( there is no noise when the OP-1 MIDI cable is disconnected to the USB ports), i use ableton... Anybody can help me please?!?!?

[Digiphex]

I am ready to buy when you make one in stereo.

Sorry for asking rudely. :) I come from Red Means Recording, which is certainly inspiring! What it and this doesn't answer, and what I need answers to, is:
1) is my realtime input quantized,
2) are the keys as crap as they look, and
3) how does overdub work, can I undo a take, and can I get each recording out separately; what's the track limit or is it just building 1 complete .wav?

[skyeparker]

I have an idea for a midi instrument for disabled people. It would basically be a box on the lap with big buttons on the side that could be mapped into different scales. Anybody know of an appropriate forum I could post for info on?

"Good luck with your OP-1" 😂

[racefaceec]

i have been reading a lot about this synth both good and band views (is it a toy/too expensive e.t.c)

now i am both poor and not musical. the thing is i can actually see myself using this to make my own music (however bad that may be). i just love the idea of being able to play this anywhere, and not need to have any musical engineering know how/musical experience to use it. that definitely appeals to me.

i just have to save up the funds now.

p.s merry crimbo everyone :-)

Do you have the opportunity to provide dealers in Russia with spare parts for the possibility of carrying out simple repairs? Russia is not a member of the EU! And I will have a lot of problems with transferring my synthesizer to your service center. I run the risk of having more serious injuries or even the loss of my device! Is it really so difficult to make your service more accessible not only in the EU and the US? I'm a fan of your brand, but the experience of interacting with your service is extremely negative! I urge you to change your policy and make it convenient not only for You, but also for Us - your loyal customers!

Ironic that I found this (sold out no less) piece of cold, soulless, 'band in a box' piece of plastic on the Abbey Roads store site. Could not BELIEVE they were asking over $2000 cdn for this!

The new #OP-1 smells BAD. Your price tag is CRAZY! Every free garageband IOS APP is more inspiring than the op-1 will ever be. Peace out ...
