Step 2: Copy the song to your tape. You can transfer it via computer (see here for instructions, check the last post on the thread), or just record it via the OP-1 line input.
Step 3: Rework it to your liking. Everything is allowed. Some ideas:
Remix: Create a couple of loops from the original, and delete the rest. Make a new song out of these + some OP-1 sounds.
Modernize: Leave the original track as it is, but add some new sounds to the other three tracks.
Deconstruct: Reduce the original to pieces (sample a short waveform in sampler, make a synth melody line resembling the original, sample a vocal bit, etc), and build a new song inspired by the old one.
Decimate: Post-process the original by bouncing it repeatedly to other tracks with some added effects, until very little of the original track remains audible.
Any combination of the above!
All outboard gear is allowed, but the final mix needs to be recorded to OP-1 album, and no post-processing allowed, as usual.
DL for this one: midnight Sunday 19th November, wherever you are.
You know, the one time I was fully committed to participating, I ended up having a temporary issue with my op-1, and couldn’t get the damn thing to work for more than like 15 minutes at a time, lol.
hi all, quite new here but decided to take on the challenge to get to know the OP-1 better. It’s a little rough a round the edges but still wanted to put it out there. I’ve called it “Resurrection” and it uses the 20s jazz collection eubie blake - chevy chase sample https://archive.org/details/Free_20s_Jazz_Collection/Eubie_Blake-Chevy_Chase_11KHz.ogg:
Would be super cool if @jjbbllkk joined this 50’s battle. Ey, it’s all about sampling this time!
For me personally , I think it’s my duty to make one again this time
