Teenage Engineering OP-XY - portable synth performance

Показать описание
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY.

The OP-Z was perhaps my biggest "so close, but not close enough" piece of gear from the last few years. Its sequencer and performability and portability were great, but the build quality was terrible was terrible (of my unit, anyway) and the internal synths and effects weren't for me. I was exactly that person who wanted the upgraded, more robust version of the OP-Z.

And we got it. Yes, I recognize the price is high. But so far I am very, very happy with the OP-XY and what it does. It's sturdy, it feels great, its synths and samplers sound great, its effects are great, its sequencer and arranger are powerful, its Punch-In FX are useful.

And most importantly of all, it's fun. When I'm using it, I'm having fun.

Considering you can get an absolutely superb portable groovebox in the Tracker Mini for far less money, it's hard to recommend unless you're the type (like me) who just loves grooveboxes. But I'm loving my time with it so far.

Thanks for listening.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Great job, Jay! Loved watching you play the melody and harmony live. A good reminder that we can still perform even when so much has been pre-sequenced.

Чудесная музыка получилась! 🔥Очень нравится! Хочется чтобы подобная мелодия сопровождала нас по жизни. Сильная, оптимистичная и светлая. Подобное надо выпускать в альбомах.

I just got one of these Jay. I love it! I do a lot of traveling to so to be able to make music on the move then flesh it out (if needed) in the studio back home is great.

Just home from a day using the XY at work and saw you'd posted. Sounds great. An editor I was working with saw what it does and said "oh, so it's all the Electribes in one then!". That might explain why I'm enjoying using it so much

Bangers like this are worth the prices of admission in my humble opinion.

Probably the best video demonstrating the Teenage Engineering OP-XY ....

Smooth rolling and noodling, Jay! For me, XY stands out in ability to inspire melody exploration and conceiving tunes in mobile, no obligations, setups . This is on top of its groovebox and synths on board qualities ❤

No matter what instruments, how can you be so melodic each time

Leaving the second comment here as I'm coming back quite frequently to listen to the song. Would love to see this on bandcamp so I can have it as an MP3.

That song was... "bussin'" as the kids say. 😛 Impressed by the live play over the long sequence.

Masterful Jay. Just received mine and, yes, price politics aside, it's a wonderful instrument
