Teenage Engineering OPXY // Ready for the dancefloor

video upload by Dexba

"Hello, first time doing techno, if that's even techno? I am so incredibly (irrationally?) afraid of naming genres, because few other things enrage musicians like not getting the genre right.
But I think the very minimalistic video is quite fitting, if only Teenage Engineering had been brave enough and not give a blue tint to their greys (which I obviously removed 😌)
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this video of the tiny OPXY in action, used in almost each of its parts (step components, punch-in fx, different scale tracks, trig conditions, FX, drums, multisampling, alternative patterns per track, pitch bend, live playing, equaliser, compressor, distortion).
I've only left out the Song Mode, mostly because I was afraid of ruining everything by deleting patterns, and also because I like to go with the flow and I never have proper structures in mind while playing, so... But that will be quite an important part of the workflow, especially if you are going live with the OPXY, mostly because it's very hard to do multiple things at the same time, like for example launching/unmuting a clip while playing with the Punch-In FX™, but the idea behind that is that most things should be sequenced anyway, which is both incredibly powerful, and a bit limiting!
Can't wait to finally see a 1.1 firmware on this tiny powerhouse 🧡"
