OP-1 and Mini Kaoss Pad 2 - Live Performance (37 mins)

Published on Sep 10, 2013 djthomaswhite·83 videos

Thriller!

"Yes, 37 minutes of original and continuous music. This is a practice performance I programmed into the Teenage Engineering OP-1 in preparation for a live DJ show on September 20th in Los Angeles. Stylistically it is clear I love House Music, but the larger point I am sharing is that the OP-1 can be used for longer performances. Remember this has 6 minutes of total tape time at full resolution and this set is 37 minutes. Looping and live track mute/solo manipulation are your friend! My total DJ set will be 1-hour and half of that time will be comprised of a version of the live performance shown here.

Some mistakenly judge the OP-1 to be a toy based on it's small and stylish appearance and once again I assure you it is a creative performance platform that is incredibly fun to play around with. Do I make final productions entirely within the OP-1? Not most of the time. But think about this, neither do traditional instrument players like guitarists. In their world they use pedals and effects to "perform" sound into a DAW or multitrack digital tape set up. I view the OP like this. I use it to compose sound that is then enhanced and arranged in my DAW environment. It is so fun to play with and so different in flow from traditional devices like workstations, Akai MPC's or DAW's that it keeps me hungry for more, even 2.5 years into ownership.

The sounds in this demo are micro samples from external sources and internal sources such as the radio. Other sounds are custom drum kits, synthesizer engines and effected sounds processed and resampled within the OP-1. The creative boundaries of a machine are an area I take pride in pushing. If I was a better keyboard player I could be playing live keys over the top of this performance as well and this is something I continue to develop in my skill set.

The Korg Mini Kaoss Pad 2 is used as a high pass and low pass filter for performance in a dance style primarily much in the same way as a DJ uses a performance. It is also a really fun device and pairs perfectly with the OP by adding a performance surface to alter your music unlike anything available in the OP-1.

I hope you enjoy the music and the exposure to my way of using the OP-1. Thanks for stopping by and checking out another one of my videos!"

via the listing: "Incredible synth for soundscapes, atmospheres, soundtracks ...etc. Bought brand new, then developed the usual neuron fault... so was packed away without being used for 8 years. Then I saw a Neuron survival kit on ebay. Hence this neuron has a new mother board fitted and new hard drive installed (Much larger than the original, with the latest operating system and models installed, sold by one of the original neuron sound designer guys) It works perfectly now, and is like a brand new machine. I have the original software on my old G4 mac which I could copy onto a disk if required (Although I cant guarantee this will work!) However the lovely people at www.surroundsfx.com have a few goodies to help out the Neuron gang..."
