Thinking of selling OP1

Thinking of selling my OP1, just wondering what would other people buy with the cash if they were in that position :wink:

Possibly put it toward the new MPC if it turns out to be as good as it sounds. Might be the best box out there for portability when itā€™s released so would be a good replacement for op-1 in that sense if thatā€™s something you want/need.

If portability is indeed a concern, consider the new MPC will be larger than an Elektron at 8" x 16"

Ironic thing is that it seems like it would be great WITH an op-1ā€¦ If itā€™s possible to record op-1 sequencer in to mpc via USB could be super quick/funā€¦ Not sure if itā€™ll do that thoā€¦

Thatā€™s not ā€˜tooā€™ badā€¦ My OT was basically portable the first few months I had it before I had all the cables in my patch bay etc. Dragged it round the house 24 hours a day :wink: With a battery it would have been fineā€¦

whats the new MPC called? Trying to find out more about it

Mpc Live. Thereā€™s a thread like 10 threads below this one :wink:

haha ok cool :slight_smile:

I have bought and sold the OP-1 3 times now!!! haha. Definitely done with it now. I think I put the cash towards my AR but not 100%. MPC Live potentially is more in line with what I am looking for but Iā€™m going to sit and wait on user reviews before joining that party (or not).

Iā€™m still mostly ITB and with Ableton/Push on sale just now Iā€™m guessing Live 10 might not be too far off so if I had an OP-1 to sell again Iā€™d keep the cash handy for my DAW upgrade. Still resisting a Komplete 11 upgrade for nowā€¦

traded mine + cash for AR. I miss sampling, especially off of the radio, but nothing else. Yet.

Thinking of selling my 2nd OP-1. Very fun little device. I think of it as a Swiss Army Knife of sound and electronic music. Constantly amazed with all the little hidden functions and brilliant design that went into it. Butā€¦ I just donā€™t think it fits my way of making music, as in songs. For goofing off and having fun with sound, I love it. But I can think of a few other things Iā€™d rather have.

Microgranny
TB-03
Moog Mother-32

Ye it is cool device and maybe I just havenā€™t given it enough time but when I see a piece of kit sitting around, not being used and not being used in actual tracks by me I think about selling.

And I HATE selling gear too. Iā€™ve been making tracks recently just on the computer. Tomorrow I start back at the hardware set up. Maybe Iā€™ll hook it up to the OT and see how we get on. That MPC sounds pretty good too.:slight_smile:

Have you tried using the OP-1 sequencers via USB midi to sequence stuff ITB? Keep meaning to try it. Itā€™s a fun/quick workflow with an ipad. Might be something youā€™d dig if youā€™re heavily ITB? Also, have you updated to the leaked beta? You def should if havenā€™t already :wink:

I have not tried the new OS, is it available from their site?

Link up top. Itā€™s worth installing for the arpeggiator alone

Hey,
What i found with mine op1:

pros: sampling from the radio and external sounds was really cool. When I sold it, i shipped it with an awesome sequence sampled from the song ā€œhere i go againā€ from white snake ; )

cons: thin tiny sound

I sold it and put the money towards a minimoog voyager rack edition (it was on sale for $1999 before it was discontinued). I had to put in a little more money but never looked back.
