How I use the OP-1 Field with my Modular Synth 

Thanks! Yeh I had a lot of fun with this one, and it’s triggered a few more explorations, taking external recordings and manipulating them between the two (more in some upcoming videos!)

Oh nice! That’s very useful, thanks, I’ll have to look at that (always more to explore for another video!) I do like having the stereo signal though

Cheers!

Thanks! It’s a lovely filter (although I think my favourite is still Ripples - but that’s a single filter in the same hp I think, if there was a stereo ripples in 8hp that would be my dream!) but for size/functionality I haven’t seen a better filter than Ikarie (not to increase your GAS any more!)

Thanks Hessence! I couldn’t agree more! The portability and immediacy of it are fantastic, it’s so easy to get ideas started with it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Got some more fun stuff coming in the next few videos 👍

Ah me too! It would be amazing if they could add another effect that was some kind of granular synth engine, but perhaps it’s too complex/would take up too much memory on the OP-1? But we can still dream!

I thought about this the other day. Imagine a world where TE partnered with Hologram or other companies to bring new dimension to the OP1F. Hope they can make an update to eliminate the feedback loop so we can go out through a pedal or module and back in!

@@NovakTheEnjoyer yes the feedback thing drives me nuts. I’m hoping for some great updates,cause that 2k price tag still hurts. Hahah

I have neither so don’t mind me if this isn’t helpful but it could be because of the level coming out of the OP1 isn’t modular line level which is higher than normal line level. Are you often amplifying or boosting the signal going in at all before it hits Morphogene? Disregard of course if you do and it’s solely Morphogene that has any issue.

Thank you! Hmmm yes the Morphagene can sometimes be noisy, I do often forget to use it’s auto levelling which I think would help a bit, depending on the source signal, sometimes it can be a bit too noisy, but often as a patch develops that gets lost, and it’s usually in the quieter parts of recordings that you can hear it, but it’s never stopped me too much, I guess you just have to accept it as a part of the module and move on, try and work around it etc

@turbotambourine yeh this could be a part of it, I go through the Ikarie which can boost the signal a lot, I do think this method is inherently a little noisy, there may be workarounds, for example I often prepare the reels in Logic and export them straight onto the Morphagene’s micro SD card, and I think, if prepared properly, you could eliminate a good amount of the noise, but again, I like this quicker method, cable straight into the modular, so I’ll take a bit of noise in exchange for speed of workflow!
