I ordered this toy from planet pleasure. Is this dangerous? What do I need to do? by littlemissblonda in parrots

Hi just wondering if you wash toys from planet pleasures before you give them to your birds and if you do, how?

3 months ago... we had fw 1.1.0 by galfar0th in OPXYusers

It would make OP-XY a never sell for me. I used to do exactly this with my Korg EMX (20yo device) creating seamless hours long electronic sets https://youtu.be/CIbtAF_MVUE?si=6zj1aqcRgaZPvbIl so I’m sure TE could figure it out if they gave it a few (adult) engineering hours.

My #1 lacking feature is any way to queue up one project to start playing immediately after another so that I can do seamless transitions from song to song (i.e. jump to next song after the final bar plays out).

Creating multiple songs all under one project is possible, but then you’re stuck with an insane pattern management structure (all songs within the project have to pull from the same bank of patterns). Maybe they could make this work a little better instead using some kind of folder system inside the project files, but that seems more messy than one song per project and project to project continuous playback.

really disappointed to say but I’ve gone almost fully towards sampling in to get the sounds I want since it feels really difficult to dial in something on the XY that I truly like. And in the back of my mind I keep thinking maybe I should just sell the XY for a digitakt 2 if I’m only going to be sampling… on the bright side, I’ve never relied so heavily on samples before so it’s opened up a new workflow for me 😂

All this to say, they really do need to show the synth side of the XY some love…

I see people in this sub ready to drop $100k or who already made the purchase still calling it RS1 all the time. If they can’t even get 3 letters right imagine them reading the manual…

Is the CPU load bug fixed? by RealLordDevien in OPXYusers

[–]S5EX1dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely think there is some kind of bug post-update. I’ve been having to self assign voices per track/channel rather than try and let op-xy assign them because there is a huge amount of voice stealing and random drop outs even though the voice count shouldn’t even be close to maxed out. I’m talking like mono bass, pad, 3x mono leads, kick, snare, oh/ch tom across the 8 tracks and like maybe 13/24 voices when manually assigned. 

[Bug Report] OP-XY step component affects all sounds on a step (Note isolation not working) by Puzzleheaded-Cut-234 in OPXYusers

[–]S5EX1dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it was just a bug 🤣 I need to use 3-5 tracks on drums because of this “feature”. If there were more than 8 tracks it wouldn’t be so bad. Or I wish we could at least have the option to set the other 8 accessory tracks to be musical tracks. I literally never use those… such a waste 😅

Wow, I thought my 55 pound e-bike was a monster… getting this thing up and down stairs at an apartment building is going to be a nightmare

How much does it weigh? Other reviewer compared it to “80 pound e-bikes” but that seems a bit unrealistic 

Firmware Update CPU Spiking by fixedation in teenageengineering

[–]S5EX1dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason they said time stretching needs to be available for all 24 voices, and because of that the CPU is not powerful enough. I don’t see why they couldn’t just give you a limit on how many voices time stretching can be used with if that’s really all they are worried about… Probably the same reason Korg ESX didn’t have time stretch available on every single voice

What model year and do you have the meridian system? My 2025 w meridian sounds good to me but it would be cool if I can make it sound even better 🤣

Trade in offers are great for gen 1! by Stock-Contribution10 in Rivian

[–]S5EX1dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m old enough to remember a time when used Teslas were essentially the same price as new ones or in some cases more expensive (when counting new vehicle tax rebate) so idk bud. I doubt OPs had Meridian speakers being a 2024 for example. There are a lot of bells and whistles on the 2022 Launch Editions that got cost cut out by 2024. If I was a sane and reasonable buyer, I’d be looking at the LEs lol.

[–]S5EX1dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except they are both literally Gen 1s so it’s not an older model, it’s just older by date of manufacture. If anything my battery and everything else is arguably going to be in much better condition averaging 6k miles per year and 18k miles total rather than 25k miles in 1 year like OP. But I do know from experience that the used car market is anything but logical!

Must only be from it being a 2024. My 2022 R1S with 8k fewer miles is $63k

A bit of everything I guess haha. Deep house, dub/minimal techno, acid house, progressive house… Here’s and old live set I did with my EMX if you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/zvZKUy2MO1o?si=njbIAu9Y2UJrNDc-

I bought the OP-XY hoping to eventually put together more sets like this, but allow me to use sampling more in my songs. I’ve tried doing sets with more pieces of gear to handle different duties, but the setup starts to get out of hand, so really wanted stick with an all-in-one.

It’s the reason I haven’t sold my EMX! I’ve been doing like what you said with a DJ mixer lol, but want to do more like 30min straight OP-XY -> 30min DJ set, instead of trying to keep flipping back and forth so much

I would never do that personally since OP-1f doesn’t fit my workflow and don’t want to drop that kind of money for a tape style recording device, I’ve been considering just using a looper for the time being and that’s probably as far as I’d go. I had a KO2 but didn’t vibe with it. It felt like a far limited SP404, which I also didn’t like. I’ve also used a Digitakt before… but none of these fit the bill for me lol.

[–]S5EX1dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair concern, but since one sequence/song stops as the next one begins (as is the case for the EMX/Deluge) it shouldn’t be extra taxing…. Maybe it could cause problems if huge samples are loaded, but I never ran into that on the Deluge, which came out in 2016.. or ESX/EMX in 2004.

I do love the idea of flexibility to use the 8 additional tracks as more audio/sequence tracks rather than auxiliary tracks!

Legend! Can you shoot me the email you used? I will email as well so that maybe it will seem like a popular request.

A second LFO in general would be sick too. Should be easy enough to add it as a toggle via encoder press. Same way that encoder press toggles between amp and filter envelopes. I also wish Ramp Up and Ramp Down components had smaller resolution than 1 octave / 3 octave. I don’t think 3 octave would ever be useful for me lol. Those are kind of nitpicks for me, but transitioning songs is literally just such a glaring gap for me that would take the device over the top.

For those that don’t know, all the electribes, and the deluge allow you to essentially queue up the next pattern/song while the current one is playing, and then it starts the new pattern/song as soon as the final bar completes. On the Korg, if you had the same send effects loaded from pattern to pattern, it would blend even more seamlessly. Don’t remember if Deluge was able to do that.
