So.. Teenage Engineering had a decent discount on the OP-XY last year so I decided to sell a bunch of other gear and give it a go. This is my first attempt to write a full track on it, and I will spend more time with it during the year to see if it's a good fit for my workflow or not.

This bass is filthy in the best way. I love the contrast with the beauty of the pads and melody.

This is very cool.  Delicate.   I must have watched every video on the OP-XY and was gassing hard for one but ultimately decided against it.   How do you like yours?

Wow this is amazing !

Thanks! I’ve been looking for a sequencer to fill my non-tracker needs. I’ve only scratched the surface, but first impressions are really good. I’ve gone through a bunch of other gear and I’ve realized that portability is key for me. A box that the XY definitely ticks smile

Kind of a flex to release this kind of a thing as a first contact with a new instrument. Feels like you're already at home with. Looks like whatever OPXY employs for its song mode allows you to really build out tracks with a lot of variety. Nice trip-hoppy gloom, too.

Haha thanks! Yeah the song mode makes it easy to build horizontally which is something I normally struggle with.
