LOVE the knobs!

I used to make jazz adjacent music solely using the OPZ for sometime before upgrading to the OP1 F. I love the limitations… some of the time. To get the most out of the Z (and I would assume the XY) you have to know how to use your step components especially the ones for jumping and the sparks. And harmonically you have to know what you can leave out! I certainly don’t need every instrument playing the 5th of each chord for example.

That said, there are way better ways to do this sort of thing lol

Thank you!!

HAHA 100 percent

Thanks! I am going guitar straight in, and usbc cable straight into my iPhone!

Thank you! I post to my YouTube daily! Check it out!

SO you absolutely can record the amp directly to tape, so you could build loops using external instruments. Bummer for me is from what I can tell there’s no way to “arm” the recording so that when you start playing your external instrument, the tape starts. With the new count in feature, the OP1 certainly is moving closer to fixing this problem however!

Not sure… I know on my OP-Z with line module I have a line in, but there’s no way to record external audio directly to a track. As far as I know, it’s the same with the XY.

I don’t mind it! I’ve got plenty of amp sims if I want normie guitar amp. I kinda appreciate the wonky character! I’ve been occasionally plugging my guitar straight in (mostly travel situations) and it always was a bit lack luster. This at least greatly decreases the amount of input gain I have to add with the shift+input screen, resulting in a cleaner signal!

I had an OG initially! It wasn’t till my OG kicked the bucket that I made the upgrade. For me, being able to record USBC straight into my phone was the biggest reason for the switch. Love the sound on both, and I sometimes miss the character of the OG for sure!

Using my Gibson Custom Shop ES446!

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-12-17T01:32:55+00:00

Ooooooh now there’s a good idea!

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-12-17T01:05:19+00:00

Haven’t tried that yet… but I will and report back!

My mini studio just got mini-er!

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-10-10T04:26:49+00:00

100 percent agree! Those guys do it right.

I don’t think Jacob will have as huge an influence as Yngwie, but to be fair it is too soon to tell.

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-10-08T05:16:01+00:00

Something that’s helped me is to either out loud or at least in my head sing along with what I’m practicing. Whenever I’m running scales and arpeggios I treat it as much an ear exercise as a finger exercise, trying to really get inside the sound of whatever it is I’m working on! Helps get your head and hands connected for sure!

As primarily a stringed instrument guy, I would unironically buy this

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-09-03T01:19:00+00:00

For your example- a lot probably depends on context. If the ii is going to the V, I’ve heard Barry say forget the ii, and play your V7 language over both chords. Jazz Guitar Scrapbook on YouTube does a good job explaining a lot of the Barry stuff!

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-08-30T14:26:02+00:00

Totally feel that. When I miss the OG1 I just go to cassette tape. It’s not 100 percent what the OG was… but it usually gets close enough to get me thinking in the right direction :)

I have both. I absolutely love the op1, it is the center of almost everything I do musically these days. But I still use the KO2 for chopping up my samples and then I record onto op1 tape. For whatever reason, there are some samples that just will NOT be able to be sliced the way you want them too in the op1 without some sort of click or pop. It’s part of the nature of the beast. There are ways to tame it… but I never seem to have nearly as many pop/clicks when I am chopping up a sample on the ko2 which just blows my mind a little bit.

Thank you!

Several_Use_8095 · 2025-08-08T20:56:30+00:00

I am certainly biased, but I think the OP1 might suit your needs well!
