I’ve been thinking about getting a new groovebox for a while now… Actually I didn’t know what they were called until I saw that first post on this community then it all clicked! (Thanks btw!!)

I’ve played around with an old kaossilator and it was pretty fun but I’d like something I can maybe put my own sounds in? If that’s generally a really exorbitantly priced feature then I can skip it.

Any suggestions on where I should get started?

Thanks in advance!!

    Oh man that’s both awesome and hilarious!

    I think I might get one of these. I like the module upgrades that are available for it a lot and it looks to me like fl studio in your pocket which I kinda dig.

    Are you able to upload your own instruments on it? That would be basically my only hangup. I kinda want to get into like cyber dub music production or something similar and what I hear other people playing on it probably won’t make dub lol.

      Are you able to upload your own instruments on it?

      You can record samples of up to 12 seconds. Drum samples can be chopped into slices, so each key will play a part. And instrument samples can be played back chromatically, so if you record a synth you can play it on the OP-Z keyboard.

      And instead of recording them directly you can prepare them on the computer, or download samples from https://op1.fun/. The stock sounds definitely have a very distinctive sound, but it’s also easy to manipulate them to sound very differently. For example, I think this song of mine sounds nothing like what I’ve seen people do on the OP-Z.

        That’s a really good song it’s got a nice smooth glide to it!

        Alright I think I might be sold on this thing thanks a lot!!
