By the way, in case you didn't know, you can save a snapshot of your project using P and +, and recall it by doing P and -. Seems it would be more efficient than disabling manual save. Furthermore, you can also disable manual save with P and Track, just in case you weren't aware! :D

Great that you mention! I actually had it in my original 'script' notes but I thought it was already too long. I hope people read your comment and notice that's a great option as well!

great video, this is 100% gonna help me a lot with the "cool but single pattern" syndrome, thanks a lot

@RDiefenbach 3 жыл бұрын

Haha you're welcome! Single pattern syndrome is my whole life :D... If you have a pattern you like then definitely just run with it and see where else it might develop. Hope it's helpful!

Yeah this is the block I'm running into with the op-z, it feels more intuitive to develop ideas in a DAW where you can kind of see things linearly. Excited to watch!

@RDiefenbach 3 жыл бұрын

@@taylorh79 Interesting perspective with the 'linear' element. That's kind of how I view it in the OP-Z by progressing left to right across the patterns until I feel like the song is long or varied enough.

@taylorh79 3 жыл бұрын

@@RDiefenbach that's how I've started looking at it, when I first got it (a few weeks ago) I was doing a pattern in slot 1, then copying it to slot 2, and adding some things, then doing a new pattern (like a chorus) in pattern 6, doing the same thing there, so the song would be 1 2 5 2 6, etc. Definitely leaning more towards linear now, leaving an empty pattern between intro and verse, verse and chorus, where I can just so it's easier to navigate

The opz audio is so good that's what made me buy the op1 field and tx6. Now to learn these suckers.

Awesome knowledge drop once again, buddy! Seeing your workflow step by step is not only interesting for OP-Z users - I actually learned a lot! :)

Cheers Miles, I was actually inspired to mention the pre-performance save states by the reminders in your Digitone video so the knowledge is making its way around :)

Yeehaw m'cowboy Do you have any other gear you sequence with your OP-Z?

@RDiefenbach 3 жыл бұрын

I have a Roland TB-3 I have tried sequencing via / THRU my Arturia Keystep as I don't have the OP-lab but it's a bit of a pain so I usually end up leaving it on the shelf. I've been looking at the Digitone for a long time as the perfect match to get but waiting for the right moment / deal. What about yourself?

@casinomann 3 жыл бұрын

@@RDiefenbach I actually just got the oplab, as my buddy and I often jam out and we can finally use ir as a reliable sequencer. I myself only use it with my Mikrokorg, both sequencing it and using it as a controller for the OP-Z. I'm really looking for some new small gear, so that's what I thought to ask haha Pipe dream is 0-Coast, but I'm leaning more toward getting a Volca, Modal Craft/Skulpt or similar (Bastl Kastle i.e) If you have experience with them/any other tips, I'd gladly listen! :D

@RDiefenbach 3 жыл бұрын

@@casinomann Roland Boutique series is a popular choice I think for portable but powerful options! 0-coast for sure. I'm hoping to make an OP-Z and TB-3 video sometime soon but I don't know what to make with them - I guess acid house is the natural choice but it's not my fav genre - but perhaps that's all the more reason to take on a challenge!

At this point I'm mashing all the buttons. I guess I'll do manual save first
