This $5 cable turns smartphone into OP-1 & OP-1 Field | GAS Therapy #60 

Damn, I use line out directly into camera mic input all the time, I just turn down the volume 😅

@@playpm Basically the same thing

And when you see people's video of a concert they did on their phone, it will be distorted because the simple mic on the phone is not designed for that.

Damn it, I was so excited to share the info that I forgot to shoot any b roll footage 😅 I'll make another one later.

@@playpmyeah unless this is an April fools joke I’m curious how u are using the phone as an op1.

OP1 = digital synth + sampler, and I also got digital synth and sampler on my smartphone, only thing missing is a port to sample external gears.

@@playpm Are you only using the sampler you showed at the end of the video? Or do you use an app that has a sequencer(s), sampler, w/effects and synths on it like the op1?

Oh that sampler I made is just a simple one, I combine mobile daw and koala sampler on my smartphone to get the most fun.

Thisss!!! 👍 😂😂😂

Who´s smart phone has an aux input in 2024?Every smart phone with a mic line in,though!!!! Every single Android phone has it!!!!How the crap do you think your voice gets to the other phone???? 🤣😂Unless you are using an iPhone,in that case I bet theres an expensive adapter to give you access to it! The video is pretty straightforward and his explanation too!!Looks like you dont know much about cables and even less about smartphones lmao

@@guido69x Most nicer Androids don't have a 3.5mm port anymore either, and haven't for years.

My Unihertz Jelly Star bro, a perfect OP-Z screen as well ;>

You can always get a usbc to 3.5mm for cheap Ive had one for years so I can have a wired headset.

Yes yes, I'll make another one later.

This one is also in mono. I used to use irig og, but I found it's noise floor is much too high, signal not clean enough, also if I use some distortion effects, the monitoring sound will also got feedback into the input, really weird.

Does not work for OB-4 for clarity

I'm not an expert in electricity, so I couldn't make it, but I'm sure someone can achieve it.

@@playpm I also have just basic knowledge, but if I understand this concept right it should be super simple for anyone to do using just scissors and electric tape.

Yes, but it's only really easy if you've had plenty of experience putting cables like this together before. You'd also need 3-way screened cable which may be tricky to source in short lengths. I made a basic heaphone/mic adaptor many years ago for my iPad 4 using an old discarded TRRS to Phono video lead (you can find plenty of these usually in thrift/charity shops that sell electrical goods). In this case you'd need two cables, a resistor (start by using a 1k ohm resistor to attenuate the mic feed, then experiment from there), a good soldering iron, shrink tube, and something to hold each cable while resoldering. But is it worth going to all that grief when you can buy one already made for a tenner?

If you know how to solder, sure. But i can (almost) guarantee that this premade solution will be less janky and bulky than a big bundle of hand-soldered cables covered in heatshrink tubing

It's totally different, there's magic re-routing happening inside it.

Just made another one called 'This cable is a revolution for instrument sampling' where I showed how it works.

Thanks for the product info, I just checked it, and I think it's only in mono, just like my Apogee Jam 96k 😅

Nah, it's just a cheap man making clickbait videos.

I don't think so, but it's a super easy problem to solve comparing to what it already solved.

Works with all kinds of adaptors too! As long as it has the 3.5mm trrs port.

@@playpmI’m starting to feel like I’m the only one with wired headphones at this point haha. Those adapters are everywhere!

Apple: "We'll remove the headphone jack so people will have to buy our costly adapter." Bluetooth? Apple will sell you a costly BT earplugs set.

I'll make another one to demo it, this is a big lesson I learnt this time, that a simple audio cable still needs b roll footages to show how it works 😂

@@playpm Come on, man. You should know this by now. We need to see HOW and WHY we should buy something and how it fits into a workflow. Otherwise you might as well just write a blog post. Just listening to someone talk about it on a video and not actually use it is kinda pointless.

Every phone (including feature phone), tablet and laptop has a TRRS port for audio out and mic in, this cable just hacked the mic tunnel and send audio into it, putting instrument line out into this mic tunnel, meaning you can sample directly with this cable into these smart devices.

Jeez, I hope not. I jumped on this like you wouldn't believe. The idea of turning my old useless android e-reader tablets into portable octameds activated a visceral psychological response out of me 🤣

See the links in description. Also btw he lives in China, it is Apr. 2nd there.

@@GeorgeL909 If it's a tablet. Reader devices are designed only for e-books.

Later later, I'll make another one.

Yes, but things I would sample, like guitar bass and synth are mostly in mono, so to me it's totally fine.

Sadly I can't move further on recording devices, but if I can record things into my smartphone, then I can use sampler apps and mobile daws to actually start creating right in my hand.

@@playpm By recording device I meant the tablet/phone intended for recording, and just using the volume controller cable for attenuating the signal into the mic, so, it's just the split cable and the volume rocker cable you just showed up in the video ;)

Oh I didn't know this, I'll try this later, thanks for the hint!

I just tried the method you mentioned, it didn't work, the microphone port doesn't even accept regular trs jacks, my phone is still picking up sounds from its internal mic, not the adaptor.

Link please!

@@playpm i cannot post any links. my comments just get deleted. i can tell you the full amazon title (it's in german, the brand name is "millSO") "MillSO Kopfhörer Adapter Splitter 3.5mm Audio Klinke Y Kabel (3.5mm Stereo Klinkenstecker auf 2X 3,5mm Buchse) für PC Gaming Headset (Nicht für Zwei Kopfhörer), PS4, Xbox One, Smartphones und Laptop " full recording setup details: aux cable to connect to the millso adapter is a "Cordial ES 0,5 WWR elements" cable (just a normal cheap TRS (2 rings on the jack) aux cable, got it for 3 euro), i connect my behringer jt4000 micro or my behringer pro vs mini with aux to the millso adapter, plug in my headphones. and plug the adapter into a xiaomi redmi note 7. to record my synths i use the J4T Multitrack recorder app (best app i've ever purchased, you can record multiple tracks and listen live to your external synth). it detects the adapter as "wired headphones" and it works really good. for my full setup i also connect a akai mpk mini plus to my phone via a uni usb c hub (hub also powers my synths via usb c cables). To use the akai with the synths i use the "midi connector" app. all in all a really nice portable music setup.

@@playpm i can't. All of my comments just get deleted :(

@@playpm While i cannot give you the link because youtube deletes my comments i can describe it to you. The brand name is "millSO", the splitter is listed as a way to use gaming headsets or 3 pole (trs) lavalier mics with phones or ps4 controller jacks. the female ports are explicitly TRS. the male is TRRS with CTIA standard. The most likely reason your cable doesn't work is because the female connentions are TRRS and not TRS. or your male connector has the wrong TRRS standard for your phone (i.e. OMTP or CTIA).

Yes, and it's enough for me.

@@playpm Oh, ok

😂 try searching the product key word on every shopping platform, name in desc.

second link to amazon works

@@aikighostnot anymore they are alllll gone. Should have affiliate linked those bad boys . They flew off the shelves like hotcakes

GAS therapy is the name of the game.

Is it?

Yes, it's in mono, for me it's fine, old records and most of my gears are all in mono.

@@LyroLife well, a TRRS consists of: Tip = Left Output Ring1 = Right Output Ring2 = Mono microphone Sleeve = Ground So I'm very curious if there's something else going on here.

@@playpm Sure, as long as this cable fixes the impedance (which I believe is what defines the input type), then mono would work for a lot of things 🙂
