the reduction and the raw process learned me so much about music. i can make any beat with it. i hooked up with a ipad. sample from slice and it rocks. combined with my meris pedals. ohhh my god. it inspire me every day. i still have the og op-1 and it works now for 11 years…it s not cheap but if you want becoming a better musician buy it. you have to get better to get good sounds of it and this is the magic…

I have it for a good month...

What I like about it: It's magnificent battery life. Finally a device where you don't have to be scared to use it extensively. It's portability is great. The tape types are very usefull, the sampler is very good. Sound quality is professional. The microphone is supergood, and sensitive. What I am scared about: the buttons. Like with all things, these guys are your input, and I hope the build quality is good enough for the price, and hope they will be reliable. Downsides: The price... Payed 1500 for it second hand, and the colour. White. White will get dirty, and this is a thing you won't put in a bath of soap... All by all, a nice thing to own, very very usable...

Op1F truly the best synth for the money in my opinion, those who say they don’t understand it have never owned one. it’s EXTREMELY versatile it is not just a synth. there’s a reason after 14 years no one has made anything that comes close to it. that’s funny you mentioned the fire, if my place ever caught fire it’d also be the first thing I’d grab 😂

Still love it! It's the perfect nightshift companion. I wish they released more features sooner. Instead they are stretching it out over 10 years I assume. Nevertheless it's extremely fun and at times frustrating, but no reason to sell it like I did with the 404 MK2. I just couldn't gel with that one. Btw, isn't there a app that allows you to add sample to the keys?

2 grand for any digital gear is just .. questionable imo

The most expensive toy ever. I never understood why people buy them and have never heard any music that is not like a demo from it. Sorry, just my take 😅
