A melodic Techno House live performance on the OP-1 (No, I will never get the OP-1 Field, because it's not worth its price)

I love this mix! As soon as I discovered the OP-1 I started diggin KZfaq to find some videos about this. And I'm glad I found this masterpiece :D Do you release on any other platforms or do have you planned to release some more mixes on KZfaq? I'm interested!
@sebastiancranemusic2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I’m currently working on a steady stream of original releases as Sebastian Crane on Spotify and other platforms. These are house and techno tracks that will all be put together into a dj-mix album in the end. Either in between when I have the time or after the album, I want to create some more live sets on the OP-1, but filming is not my strength yet. That being said I use the OP-1 quite a lot in my productions. So far I’ve released two tracks and a third one is coming next Friday ;)

Hey man, this is incredible!!! Listened to this set for like 10 times already! Just got my OP-1, partially because of your set. Would you mind sharing your approach to this set? Do you have different pieces of tape you switch to/from somehow? I can’t understand from the video :(
@sebastiancranemusic2 жыл бұрын
Wow thanks man. That means a lot! Hope you're having fun with your OP-1 so far. I'll try to be as short and specific as possible: I approached each section I made with 8 bars at a time and then copying it to the next 8 bars to make slight variations in that part. Now that's the basis of it. Then I approach the 4 tapes roughly as following: 1. Kick and/or Beat 2. Bass and/or low synths 3. Melodic parts 4. Extra parts like effects, vocals or more beats Now this order is not always a 100% correct and it changes throughout the video depending on what parts fit where (it is a bit of puzzle work in the end) but keeping a structure like this in mind when creating can help out a lot. Now combining the two starting points: Working in 8 bars at a time and keeping the instruments as separate as possible on their own tape tracks. From that point on I'd advice creating two short songs with the focus on the transition part. Make this transition part 8 or 16 bars long. Play with how you go from the first idea to the next. What do you leave out from the first song and what do you introduce from the second. And then practice practice practice. This explanation is a bit abstract maybe haha, but it is how I approached it. I was inspired to make this live set after seeing a video of a guy called Dapayk doing a similar thing on the OP-1. Then I wrote down in a word document what happens in his set at certain moments in time and why I was interested to listen to his set. Write down what happens in the music. You can do this with my set as a reference too. Then make those descriptions your own. For instance: 'Tom groove enters at around @' minutes. Then create your own toms, create your own groove. 'starts playing melody at @'. Play your own melody. Write down the parts you like and write down the parts you dislike so you can do them according to your own taste. Go wild with it, see what works for you, but having some points of reference in time can really help. And then its just practice, get rid of parts, create new parts, create moments designed for freestyle only, create moments where you know exactly what you want the music to sound like, get rid of some more stuff, ad more parts, practice again, etc. Hope this helps and I hope you'll be able to create some awesome music on the OP-1. Cheers, Crane

@nubbyzer2 жыл бұрын
How do you transition between loops without abrupt/unwanted skips? I assume you’re making use of the in and out points to extend the life of certain parts but I’m confused how you keep each phrase so well intact when the loop points don’t automatically quantize.
@sebastiancranemusic2 жыл бұрын
While holding shift and then tapping the arrows left or right you can move the loop point on the exact bpm the OP-1 is currently in. So for this live set I only worked with one BPM speed. And then while holding the shift Botton and then pressing '3' (the loop on button) it select a recording on the current rack you're in and loops that. So I prepared some tracks that where either 16, 32 or 8 bars of beats (hi-hat or other percussion) to be able to switch lengths of the loop while keeping it quantized. So actually I'm not using the in and out point buttons at all if I remember correctly. Hope this helps

Yeah looping on the OP-1 can not always be done a 100% clean. When using a kick that has a slightly longer tail gets cut at the end of a loop it leaves a click sound

Probably, don't know about free apps though, but I imagine one could get quite close to something like this with the iMaschine app. However without knobs and keys to modulate and create sounds it seems like less fun to do on an app.
@portlyoldman5 ай бұрын
@@sebastiancranemusic - I begin to see how the physical knob and button twiddling seems to make the difference. I do wonder, though, if there isn’t some UI/UX design that doesn’t try to directly emulate the knobs, sliders and switches (in a skeuomorphic way) that would provide an equivalent - or better (?) experience.

Depends. I take it that you already have an OP-1? Become familiar with some of the shortcuts the machine has. I was inspired to make this live set after seeing a video of a guy called Dapayk doing a similar thing on the OP-1. Then I wrote down what happens in his set at certain moments in time and why I was interested to listen to his set. Write down what happens in the music. Then make those descriptions your own. For instance: 'Tom groove enters at around 2:12' minutes. Then create your own toms, create your own groove. 'starts playing melody at 5:15': Play your own melody. Write down the parts you like and write down the parts you dislike so you can do them according to your own taste. Go wild with it, see what works for you, but having some points of reference in time can really help. And then its just practice, get rid of parts, create new parts, create moments designed for freestyle only, create moments where you know exactly what you want the music to sound like, get rid of some more stuff, ad more parts, practice again, etc. Don't know about the amount time it will take but the end goal will be obtainable if you sort of follow this process and have an outline to work with. Try making a set last 5 minutes first with a clear beginning and end. I believe you will be surprised at how fast you'll have created a short song that you'll like.
