Everything on your desk looks unconventional, cozy, and inviting to work. I think that the handmade organic look will become more and more popular as time goes on.
It is very cozy especially in winter when I do most of my deep composing.
Agreed. 🙂
Gotta be honest I’m laughing about the fader issues with this unit. This just proves again that TE put out garbage. My op-1 field still has issues with the battery being loose. I’m my book these idiots are the biggest crooks in the gear business
Ok.
Cancelled my order this morning
The gas for the device has simmered, and hearing a few too many people complaining about build quality
But this is still on my list
I have spent the last 2 days watching sp-404 videos, and like what I see
Looks harder to learn, but seems like the best option, and also with as cards for moving stuff around
But costs more and quite hard to get hold of in uk, so while I save a little longer, hopefully I will make the right decision and give teenage engineering time to solve some problems and add a firmware update so you can export projects etc
ZZounds used to require a $700US down payment on the OP-1 Field. Now they have an even easier EZ-Pay plan which is just $165 down then $165 per month for 12 months.
People often criticize TE because of their prices. Some of their stuff is crazy priced, true. But some of their stuff is not only "fairly" priced, but honestly, no one else does what they do. You pay a premium for it but their flagship model is widely received as maybe the best of its kind. You own it so I'm sure you know better than me that nothing really compares to the op1 field. I think some of their, or a lot of their base, tends to be more affluent. But there are some of us not as well to do who are eagerly saving and waiting for their respective TE gear. I can't wait for mine. Yes, I am hesitating on purchasing it due to the stories of many people having issues, but also TE seems to fix their customers issues. Maybe I am one of the aforementioned trying to convince himself its worth it, but honestly, for the people who have only had minor issues, they hold their TE gear higher than almost all the other stuff. So to call it garbage is a bit of an overstatement when they are pioneers/leaders in their field. I wish I had an OP1 field man! If the battery is all that's problematic, ask TE to fix it ? have you had other issues with the field that you might want others to know about? I ask because I found all about the opz issues, but as an owner, I am curious to know your experience with the unit? any double triggers or issues with keys colors inspace?
I don’t have a problem with their price. I have a problem with them putting stuff out half assed and putting out garbage. Ie: warping op-z, battery loose in many of the op-1 fields, now this problem with the fader. This is not normal.
The overpriced tables and toys is just another reason why most people find them a joke and can’t be taken seriously.
I was able to justify keeping my op-1 field cause I purchased the OP-Z for the second time to give it a chance and it never showed up to Mexico because of customs. TE sent me my money back baca d said to just send the unit back if it showed up. Well, it showed up but I kept it because I had an issue with my batter moving around in the Op-1 field. I ended up selling it for 400 bucks and just kept the cash. And yes I feel very good about at least stealing $400 from this company that rip people off left and right
If I had to sell all my gear except for one piece it would surely be the Op-1 field… although I do have a unit with something rattling around inside. I think a loose battery. I’m just too lazy to send it in for repair.😛> @colorsinspace said:
You’re a strange guy - all of a sudden Teenage Engineering is “biggest crooks in the gear business” - not long ago you wrote here on the forum, citation:
“If I had to sell all my gear except for one piece it would surely be the Op-1 field… although I do have a unit with something rattling around inside. I think a loose battery. I’m just too lazy to send it in for repair.😛”
You seems to have too little perspective on the music gear business, sad…
That's very affordable in my budget!
No one enjoys getting a product that needs returning. According to a few early adopters posting on the OP forums, if you had sent in your OP-1f with the battery issue, TE would have sent you a brand new OP-1f. It's disingenuous to say you "still" have issues with a loose battery since TE offered a simple solution but you didn't take the opportunity.
A lot of people, me included, think the OP-1f is without a doubt worth the money. I have other synths but this would be the one I'd grab to run from a fire. (This statement has been tested, I live in CA).
I’ve done the Zzounds easy pay before and it’s great. When I was out of work with Covid a couple years ago they let me pay almost a month late to help me out. I’ll always remember that, good company, good customer service.
I would usually take exception to using a word like "crooks" to describe a music company. But I think this guy — who admits to literally stealing an OP-Z because the delivery was...delayed? — seems to know what he's talking about.
I gotta say my GAS for this is wavering. Sometimes I’ll see a demo and love it and other times I think I’d be better off buying that $70 Donner drum pad and sticking with Koala and Dawnbeat.
Love zzounds. Great folks over there for sure.
No, but I always have been fascinated with it. (Was my major but didn’t finish that either😂). Didn’t even finish one semester. That was thirty years ago.
Never understood this company or the hype
But I never understood Elektron either
The electronic music gadget thingy beatmaker space is just not for me
I’m cool with a sp-404 or MPC
But you guys do you, if it’s your thing
Thanks.
Say it ain't so, lol. Guess we won't be OP-1 Field twins then. 😂 Sad. (I'm kidding with you obviously.)
My plan for the OP-1 Field is to create Ambient in it, at least for starters. Ambient is pretty much the easiest genre for me to produce in any workflow. I want to create some sort of 4-6 track EP with the stock OP-1 Field samples and whatever sounds I can concoct with the various synth engines. Having no clear musical direction when producing Ambient in a new environment/workflow is invigorating. This is how I learned to use Koala Sampler in the first place afterall.
Anyways, I have the zzounds OP-1 Field link bookmarked, and next Sunday I'll buy it.
I keep looking at SP-404 vids as well. There is something about that device that I really like but not sure it will fit with my workflow. Also I keep seeing beat battles on YouTube where it’s Koala vs SP-404 and Koala often wins.
I love the op-1 field but that’s not the issue here. The issue is their quality control is shit. If you don’t know this then you know nothing about Teenage Engineering. Everything they put out has issues and it’s not my responsibility to have to send back something. I just paid $2000 for. Of course they offered this to me but it would’ve taken 10 days for it to reach them and then another months to get back to me so why should I be without my Piza gear for 40 days that I just paid $2000 for? What I told them they should do is send me a new one, and when the other one gets to me, I will send the other one back.
For ambient music the OP one field can’t be beat. Again their quality control team need to be fired.
LOL!
Is it quality control or the company itself? If they can't get it right more than once, seems questionable.
I wish they had better QC. I haven't had issues but I've read people online complaining, mostly about the OP-Z.
@cyberheater
I think I need some physical hardware, the ep-133 was just about affordable, then watching videos on sp-404, means in my opinion is worth the extra money
The ep-133 looks nice, the sp-404 mk2 looks ok, and most owners of the sp seem happy, and I have a few options of spreading the cost over 3 months
I am not sure why I haven’t pulled the trigger, but due to this hardware lust I haven’t brought any iOS apps this month, which is hard to believe
Dang with all these quality control issues, it sounds like they should really … grow up….who else is ready for … ‘Grown Up Engineering’? Am I right? Ehhh? Ehhhhhhhh?!!!
Okay I’ll see myself out
I am tempted by the Zzounds deal as well but can’t really add anymore debt at the moment. Part of me is leaning towards the IK Uno Synth Pro (the new one) as well. All that is way down the road the course.
That said, my main plan is to buy the remaining Volcas I don’t have so I have a table full of all 9 Volcas. All matter of synthesis types synced perfectly in time with parameter locking of the sequences. I used to have them all before I sold a couple and it was one of the most fun jam set ups I’ve ever had.
As far as the OP-1, I would love one some day but I’m just not in a huge rush. I’m ordering my midi controller tomorrow and before the years over will probably buy that Donner drum pad and a fader box. That along with the midi keyboard will give me all I need to do anything I want.
What midi controller did you order btw?
Haven’t ordered yet, waiting til I get paid tomorrow. But I’m deciding between the Arturia Minilab3 and the M Audio Oxygen Pro Mini.
They’re both small enough but still offer a lot of modern features. Unfortunately it looks like the MiniLab may not let you adjust velocity on the device itself and since I’m iOS only and can’t hook it up to a desktop, I’d be kinda screwed. I gotta read the manual tonight and confirm but if that’s the case, M Audio it is lol.
Also am probably gonna order the Donner midi pads and a faderbox since it’s on sale for cyber Monday on Amazon. Combining those 2 with Koala and AUM would be chefs kiss
😂 Sorry mate, but your "eh eh" reminded me of this scene from "Hercules".
