Thinking of selling my OP1, just wondering what would other people buy with the cash if they were in that position
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 itās released so would be a good replacement for op-1 in that sense if thatās 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 itās possible to record op-1 sequencer in to mpc via USB could be super quick/funā¦ Not sure if itāll do that thoā¦
Thatās not ātooā 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 With a battery it would have been fineā¦
whats the new MPC called? Trying to find out more about it
Mpc Live. Thereās a thread like 10 threads below this one
haha ok cool
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 Iām going to sit and wait on user reviews before joining that party (or not).
Iām still mostly ITB and with Ableton/Push on sale just now Iām guessing Live 10 might not be too far off so if I had an OP-1 to sell again Iād 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 donāt 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 Iād rather have.
Microgranny
TB-03
Moog Mother-32
Ye it is cool device and maybe I just havenāt 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. Iāve been making tracks recently just on the computer. Tomorrow I start back at the hardware set up. Maybe Iāll hook it up to the OT and see how we get on. That MPC sounds pretty good too.
Have you tried using the OP-1 sequencers via USB midi to sequence stuff ITB? Keep meaning to try it. Itās a fun/quick workflow with an ipad. Might be something youād dig if youāre heavily ITB? Also, have you updated to the leaked beta? You def should if havenāt already
I have not tried the new OS, is it available from their site?
Link up top. Itās worth installing for the arpeggiator alone

Lovely thanks, will give it a blast tomorrow so.
Second that!! The new presents are gems as well.
0-coast !
Seems alien, shouldnāt loose value, hours of experimentations ahead
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 āhere 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.
Wonāt ever sell mineā¦ My kids wouldnāt understand
Havenāt even beaten the choplifter game !
