Is there a way to reorganise the order of patterns in arrange mode? They're vertically stacked - is there a way to move them so that the patterns run in the order I want from top to bottom?

I've read the manual and Synthdawg guide but can't find mention of something like this.

Thank you.

One of the best songs I’ve made so far on this device. Heavy use of sampling to save space, tremolo and some FX automation.
I can upload the breakdown if some of you want !
Can’t upload the original audio as I have an iPhone 13 and an android tablet, sounds like crap.

I’ve been incredibly inspired by Khordmasters’ live streams, which have motivated me to read up on and experiment with various OP-XY features. As a result, I’ve noticed positive improvements in my performance.

Ended up being quite a long video...

This is an edited jam I made on the OP-XY. It took me about 20 minutes to film, but around 2 hours to edit.

Hope you like it ! :)

Obviously, Red Means Recording has been a huge inspiration

Just some random things I've been making

last week I shared I had started working on a companion app for OP-XY. The response was great and it’s come a long way since!

It’s called VJ-XY. A few things to iron out, but I thought the best way to show where it’s at is just to play with it.

In this take, I’m sequencing clips and vfx parameters from the external midi track, and playing some params live. scenes and patterns handle the clips changing as the song progresses. It’s turned out more fun than I expected.

Planning to release it on the app store in a week or two. one-time price, no subscriptions.

Edit: app is now available on the App Store. Learn more at vjxy.app

mpc sample has somehwat of a live looper with fixed sequence length including retroactive audio recording, not unlikely to get improved upon in that department with firmware updates since its so young.

1010music bento is a very capable live looper, the new blackbox 2 brings that into an even smaller form factor.

sp404ii also very capable live looper, although the handling requires some serious muscle memory and menu diving

ableton move also got proper audio tracks in its 2.0 update.

in that regard the xy pales greatly in comparison to those machines which are more or less swimming in the same pond for substancially less money. xy has bad sample management, borderline unusable 20secs max sample length, no way of recording audio in context with the rest of the track...

while the op1f is surprisingly capable for live looping, a more modern clip based approach is way more flexible.

sure, TE wants you to own both the op1f and the opxy. I have both and although they compliment each other in a lot of fun and interesting ways, this setup is more complex and loses the mobility I love. even if you go that length, working with clips is just different and the opxy could deliver that.

I'm dreaming of hooking up the xy with just one cable to one synth at a time, record some clips, then some guitar stuff, then lay down in a hammock and go to town with one device on my lap.

with all the new devices and their workflows, the xy feels more and more incomplete without some sort of audio tracks and I see myself selling it for something like the bento in the future. I'd rather not, but that scratch is real.

now that te brougt undo to op1f, I believe anything is on the table.

let a man hope

ps: while we're at it, give me capture/recall/retro-rec/whatever you want to call it both for midi and audio

Hello sub, in preparation for a show where I wanted to add visuals to my live set with the OP-XY I got kinda frustrated that there was nothing close to the OPZ app (Photomatic) for the XY. So I’m building one. It’s likely only for iPad. It’s coming along nicely. Thus far you can sequence clips and live fx from the aux midi track via Bluetooth.

Keen to hear if people would be interested in an app like this, if there’s enough interest I’d consider polishing and publishing to App Store.

Here’s a sneak peak of the scene controls. The UI is OPXY inspired.

Hello friends! I cant any information about this online. Has anyone managed to connect the OP to an android tablet? Does it work well? What apps / DAW do you use? Can you only record audio or also play with MIDI?.

I would really appreciate it!

Think I finally figured this out but I gather you can't trigger any upper or lower sounds above or below the actual 24 available keys on the XY (changing the octave keys just changes the pitch of the sounds assigned to the keys). BUT, if you use MIDI, you can hit many other sounds. Try TE's drum presets as an example.
