Has anyone else tried to purchase the granular extension? I’m trying to get it and nothing happens. I wonder if it’s because they priced it at %4.99 rather than $4.99? Maybe the phone is confused by that. Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon. Not sure where to report problems .
Hi, selling my m8 model 02. Its in mint condition, comes in case with midi trs adapter, usb cable and a ton of colored buttons. Ill throw in the button changer tool that i got on amazon.

I also have a polyend tracker for sale for $240. I cam combine them for a discounted price. Send me a DM if interested!
Anyone else having the problem where you can’t monitor audio from incoming source while on the tape screen? For some reason when I press the mic button, it takes me to the page where I can select the input source. It does this every time no matter what. Usually from the tape screen you have to press shit + mic button to get there. I’m trying to resample from the vinyl but it won’t let me turn on the input while on this screen. Am I missing something totally obvious? It’s been a while since I’ve used the OP-1
You really only need to create one scene in order to have an entire songs worth of sounds if you use the performance effects, it's encouraging laziness and I like it.

In case you haven't seen my recent post, I'm still offering 1 on 1 sessions around the OP-XY. So far ive had six of them, two people have scheduled multiple sessions after our first, so they're going pretty well! Im not presenting myself as a "pro" op-xy user, not at all, im just a person who has dedicated countless hours over the last 18 months experimenting and learning the ins and outs of the machine.
Im offering sessions at $40/hr, and if you arent satisfied, then you dont have to pay. Its as simple as that. Whether youre just starting out or youre an advanced user, we can cater the session to your specific needs. Ive been making electronic music for 20 years, and im offering these sessions while im in between jobs. I was laid off and i decided now is the perfect time for me to lean into my passion.
You can check my recent post for more details, just to my profile and youll see it near the top. DM me if interested. Thanks!
For those of you who saw my last post, I wanted to share something to make what I explained way better. For those of you who did not see my last post, this is a quick text tutorial on how to scratch like a DJ on your OPXY.
In order for this to really sound like a DJ scratch on vinyl, you will need to do a couple things, including re-sampling the entire pattern, every track that is playing needs to be resampled together. You can pretty much enter into the sample page anytime, just hit the top right button and make sure you turn the left dial all the way to the right to its own output as the source. Resample the pattern.
Once you have that done make sure that starting an endpoints loop properly, make sure you turn up the volume to match the master output, and then go to a fresh track, select the key you want the recording to be on and then open the file browser and find it.m
Change your track scaling to be whatever you need to be in order to play the full pattern, sequence that recording onto step one.
Go to your LFO settings on that track page, select element LFO, turn the left dial to microphone, the second dial down most of the way, the third dial can remain on this wiggly line, the fourth dial can remain black on pitch.
No swipe your finger over the microphone on the right side next to the sample button back-and-forth. Kind of sounds like a DJ.
To make it sound better, go into your secondary track number five, the auxiliary track. It should be on microphone by default, click down the very left dial to turn the microphone on, now go swipe your fingers up and down.
Mess around with the drive and level settings to fit your needs. You can also mess around with the second dial on LFO settings which impacts the severity of the pitch change.
You can also skip the entire LFL page on the track and just go to your microphone settings, turn the mic on and swipe your fingers over the mic. That sounds kind of like a scratch too but the pitch change settings really make it sound more realistic.
Put an element LFO on one of your tracks. First parameter change to microphone, second parameter turn all the way down, third parameter select amp, fourth parameter shift one tick over to select the dark gray knob (pitch). Now run your finger over the microphone on the right side of the device next to the sample button back and forth. GO DJ GO DJ GO! (Ninja turtles reference)m
Edit: check my Moore recent post for a cool update to this tip
Hey everyone, I'm completely stepping out of my comfort zone here to put this out there.
I’m offering one-on-one OP–XY sessions via Zoom or Google Meet for anyone who wants to get more out of this instrument, whether you’re just starting out or already deep into it.
Recently, I lost my job in human services due to funding cuts, and I’m using this moment to lean into something I genuinely love and care about. The OP–XY is a deep (and expensive) instrument, and I made it a priority to really learn it inside and out to get my money’s worth. Now I want to pass that knowledge on. Offering these sessions is something I've actually been thinking about for a while, and I'm just using this time to finally make the offer.
I've been making electronic music since 2006 and it has been my number one passion in life this entire time, and I’ve been using the OP–XY consistently since it first came out. Over time I’ve developed a workflow that goes far beyond the basics.
A lot of what makes this device powerful isn’t clearly explained in the manual. I've seen comments and posts from other people who are feeling stuck and unsatisfied with the sound, the limitations, the workflow, etc. I experienced the same frustrations at one point or another but overcame them, and I view the OP-XY as one of the most inspiring, capable music devices that I've ever owned.
These sessions can be tailored to whatever you need:
• Getting started (navigation, workflow, building your first ideas)
• Advanced techniques, “hidden” workflows, improving the sound/making your tracks sound massive
• Arrangement strategies and finishing tracks
• Creative approaches to sequencing and sound design, getting the most out of the 8 auxilary tracks
• Breaking creative blocks and staying inspired
• Integrating OP–XY into a larger setup, apps that compliment the OP-XY (ios only)
I’m not here claiming to be a “pro” or better than anyone— I’m just someone who invested deeply into this machine and figured out what actually works.
I also have experience teaching music production. I previously taught weekly classes using Koala Sampler, so I’m comfortable explaining concepts clearly and adapting to different skill levels.
If you want a sense of what I do with the OP–XY, you can check out my work here:

Sessions will be relaxed, practical, and focused on helping you actually improve your workflow, not just learn features.
You also have the option to send me your project file so that I can boot it up onto my device and we can be looking at the same thing. This is sort of a process though so if you're interested in this reach out to me and I'll tell you exactly what steps need to be taken to get this done.
Pricing: $40 per session via Venmo/paypal/cash app, zelle or apple pay, with flexible timing so we can go until we reach a good stopping point.
If you’re not satisfied at the end of the session, then I won't charge you for it. Simple as that!
If you’re interested, feel free to reach out and we can set something up.
