OP-1 Field Firmware 1.5 Explained: Multi-Channel USB Audio, Amp Synth & Tape Updates

video upload by Noisegate

"Teenage Engineering have dropped a huge firmware update for the OP-1 Field, and it might be the most important one yet. In this video, we take a hands-on look at firmware 1.5, covering multi-channel USB audio, the new Amp input synth, count-in recording for tape, tape and drum crossfades, and other workflow improvements.

We also show how the OP-1 Field now works as a 10-channel USB audio interface, including routing individual tape tracks into a DAW or a USB-compliant mixer like the TX-6. If you are already using the OP-1 Field, or thinking about adding one to your setup, this update seriously changes what the instrument can do."

Christmas lights from OP-1 + Modular and Microcosm

video upload by Music4screens

"Super dusty signal through TASCAM portastudio for extra noise and analog sauce. Sound source OP-1 in reverse tape, processed by modular Sealegs and Microcosm out of the Eurorack.
The sounds evolves by itself in a way I couldn't control, and I loved it!

"Audiovisual artist / PureData expert Servando Barreiro / SRVND is playing with some of the presets he created for Elastic OSC. Additional drums and MIDI sequencing of Elastic OSC are handled by the OP-1. These presets are available in the current Elastic OSC 1.2 update!

Technical hint: OP-1 is sending Midi to Elastic OSC"

Another Machines is rocking Elastic OSC with a Digitakt for drums

video upload by Elastic Instruments (Oliver Greschke)

"High-energy techno producer Another Machines is showcasing the presets he created for Elastic OSC. Additional drums and MIDI sequencing of Elastic OSC are handled by the Elektron Digitakt.
These presets are part of the newly released 1.2 update.

Technical hint: Digitakt is sending Midi to Elastic OSC and receiving audio from the iPad - no extra sound card (for the iPad) needed - cool 😎."

Kowloon Park Field Recordings & Prophet-10 Ambient | Park and Birds 2025-11-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using field recordings from Kowloon Park in Hong Kong, along with the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10 and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field.
It is an ambient electronica work where synthesizer harmonies resonate over a backdrop of birdsong.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.

The OP-1 field is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND and ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, adding tape-style effects and reverb, followed by an additional layer of reverb and filtering from the NIGHTSKY.

The park ambience was recorded at Kowloon Park on November 26, 2025, using a TASCAM Portacapture X8."

Granular Kalimba Clouds & Piano Resonance | No Products 2025-11-28 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the YAMAHA CBX-K1XG and the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field.
It is an experimental ambient composition where granular-processed kalimba forms dense clouds of sound that blend with resonant piano tones.

The piano tones played on the CBX-K1XG are processed through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, adding a deep and spacious reverb.

On the OP-1 field, sustained tones with pitch-shifted textures are produced through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, while the filter is opened and closed to create evolving movement in the sound."

Ambient Things | OP-XY Stranger Things theme Cover

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"An ambient reinterpretation of the iconic Stranger Things theme, created entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY.

To celebrate the release of Stranger Things 5, I started working on a traditional cover using the OP-XY and the fantastic Danger Strings sound pack. But while searching through my library, I stumbled upon a pad that inspired a completely different direction.

From that sound came the sketch of an atmospheric, dreamy ambient track. Almost as a joke, I layered the classic Stranger Things arpeggio on top, and surprisingly, it just worked. That accidental blend gave life to this ambient-style Stranger Things cover, something a bit different from the usual reinterpretations.

It wasn’t an easy process: I changed notes, key, textures, and more than once I felt like abandoning the idea. But eventually, everything clicked into place.

🔥 If you’re into ambient music, synth textures, Teenage Engineering gears, or Stranger Things' iconic sound design, this track is for you.

Hope you enjoy it!

🎧 For the full immersive experience — subtle textures, evolving pads, spatial details, and low-end nuances — listening with headphones is highly recommended."

RX-17 Looped Beats, Glitched Teto Vocals & Piano Layers | Parabolic Path 2025-11-24 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"The ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ RX-17 is connected to the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-3, where its beats are shaped and altered using the looper while they play.

On the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, sampled vocals of Kasane Teto are processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding glitch textures as the phrases loop.

The piano parts are performed on the MOTIF-RACK ES, then recorded and edited to create the final melodic layers."

EP-133 K.O.II Textures & OP-1 field Synth Loops | Flatness 2025-11-21 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ EP-133 K.O.II and the OP-1 field.
It is a minimal electronica track where repeating electric-piano tones gradually shift in color and eventually converge into a single unified sound.

The EP-133 K.O.II is processed through both the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and LOST+FOUND.
On the MOOD MKII, reverb is applied while the CLOCK is adjusted to create pitch shifting, and the TAPE effect is manipulated to produce micro-loops.
On LOST+FOUND, the IMPULSE SYNTHESIZER generates synth textures based on the electric-piano tone, while the PINGING PHASER adds a resonant, shifting movement.

On the OP-1 field, synth sounds sampled from the Moog One are played with filtering applied.
Additional reverb is added using the master effect to deepen the atmosphere."

EP133 KOII - - - - - - - - Roland S-1

video upload by Perplex On

"Sequencing the #rolands1 with the #ep133koii while playing with KO2‘s midi fx for dynamic speed control and additional midi notes on top of the sequence. Super fun! And since both devices use a mini midi jack, a regular 3.5mm jack cable connects both. Pretty convenient."

Cut-up Drums & Synth Layers with Prophet-10 and OP-1 field | Solver 2025-11-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and YAMAHA MOTIF-RACK ES.

It features cut-up drum patterns layered with synth harmonies and melodic lines.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.

On the OP-1 field, recorded drum performances are sampled, rearranged, and played back as reconstructed patterns. The sequence is controlled via MIDI from Ableton Live. Used effects include the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The bassline is generated using Omnisphere.

Melodies and additional parts are performed on the MOTIF-RACK ES, completing the arrangement."

TR-1000: Thoughts, Discussion, and Production

video upload by EZBOT

"The TR-1000 is a strange and wonderful machine that constantly has me returning to the manual to see if it can do 'this or that' and often finding out it can do most things you throw at it. How does it compare to an Elektron machine? How does it sound? Is the workflow clunky or is it smooth? Could this be an addition to your setup or a stand alone machine? All this and more, this time on 120 minutes. Additionally we will talk smack about the OP-XY while also drooling on it at the same time. My favorite combo."

Filtered Synths, Tape Loop Noise & Dub Techno Atmosphere | Onset 2025-11-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@NovationTV‬ Circuit, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and a tape loop. It blends filtered synths, delayed drum patterns, and field recordings into a dub-techno soundscape.

On the OP-1 field, vocal samples are used to create chord tones that are looped with the ENDLESS sequencer. The filter is opened and closed at various points to alter the timbre. Reverb is added through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, where the HIGHCUT filter is also adjusted to shape the tone.

A cassette player ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ holds a one-minute endless tape containing field recordings captured in a park. These sounds are processed with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and LOSSY, adding micro-loops, reverb, filtering, and textures between noise and ambience.

The Circuit plays the rhythm pattern. Its built-in filter is manipulated during performance, and additional delay is applied using the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE.

OP-1 Field, Wingie2, Prophet-10 & Piano Ambient Resonance | Critical Part 2025-11-12 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@MengQiMusic‬ Wingie2, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and piano. It features piano performances layered over randomly repeating glockenspiel samples enhanced by resonant tones from the Wingie, creating a delicate ambient atmosphere.

On the OP-1 field, glockenspiel sounds are sampled and sequenced using the ENDLESS sequencer. The output is routed through the Wingie2, which adds resonance and harmonic richness.

The ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 piano continuously plays a repeating chord progression, providing a stable foundation for the piece.

The Prophet-10 performs soft synth tones with a slow attack, processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb, adding depth and texture to the overall sound."

80s YAMAHA Rhythm Machine RX17 & Kasane Teto sampled OP-1 field | Resolve 2025-11-11 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ RX17, MU15, and MOTIF-RACK ES. It combines rhythm machine beats, melodies made from sampled vocals of 重音テト Kasane Teto SV, and live bass performance.

On the OP-1 field, the sampler contains Kasane Teto’s voice, which is used to create melodic phrases. At certain points, looping is applied through the NTS-3, and the signal is processed with the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII.

The RX17 rhythm machine is recorded with an ALESIS 3630 compressor applied.

On the MU15, synth sounds are performed using its built-in keyboard, with reverb added via the blueSky.

The Nord Lead plays melodic parts in the middle section of the piece, processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for delay.

The bass is recorded through a SANSAMP Bass Driver DI, routed directly into the audio interface for a clean yet warm tone."
