  • Great information mate keep it up I just got the OP 1 3 weeks ago I am learning heaps from your videos. 🙏👍
  • @op-1g.s
    Very gently and respectful explanation. Sweet 👍🏽
  • @bthalko
    Awesome stuff Jack - and love the shoutout to Jeremy / Red Means Recording - definitely a master of the OP-1!
  • @peeknic
    Such a GREAT tutorial. Thank you so much for doing this! It would be awesome if you could cover sampling workflows in both drums and synth modes. Regards from Vienna!
  • So great! Bought the op1 finally 3 days ago and I love it. ✊🏼🔥
  • @IncomeCountry
    What a great tutorial! I bought the OP-1 field a few days ago and it's on its way to me now. I needed a quick guide to show me how to use it.
  • @MarcellJjr
    18:17 before playing over the track make sure you lift it up to copy it and then drop it back down and place it in a different section just in case you mess up due to no quantization. This is my favorite instrument that I have out of the hundreds lol
  • @88Fitzy88
    Don’t mind those negative comments Jack, ur such a good educator!!!
  • I learned so much from my first op1 . I sold it and now I'm saving for a second one.
  • @boxed-sound
    That time stretching tip was great!!! I never thought to use the endless sequencer for the drum/samples section!!!
  • @megloton
    Love theses videos especially the bit about muting tracks. Also if you want to save samples you can hold down the preset number you sampled to for five seconds and it will save the sample to a snapshots folder in synths. Be cool to show this in a video
  • Oh also, M1 and M2 can be used to store the master effects settings too - I generally have M1 set cut out the bass on the EQ, and M2 will control the send level to either the reverb or delay.
  • Great presentation. Btw,no need to hold the rec button,it keep recording after you start play
  • I actually use the weird bits in the back of the case. I took a strap from some other bag and I attach it to the loops on the long ends to turn it into a little carry on bag. And then sometimes I use the loops on the short ends to attach it directly to the back of my backpack!
  • Where have you bought the custom knobs? Love this video! Jack... You rock 😎
  • @JonMurray
    I love it, I want one so badly and I want the new one even more. But it’s a ridiculous price man. It just is. And the new one at 2 grand is absolutely disgusting. It doesn’t feel like paying a premium for an exclusive bit of gear made from diamonds, its overpriced because they can. It’s beautifully crafted and a powerful piece of equipment but whatever way you look at it they’re completely rinsing people and making it an elite toy very few can afford. Boo hiss boo. ✌🏻
  • The only reason I really use the op-1 is that tape style workflow. It just changes the way you think.
  • nice video thank you ... small tip brother, you don't need to hold the record button all the time just push shift+record, it arms the track and waits for you to play a note ...try it, I think it's much easier 😊✌
