OP-1 Field First Impressions: Can I Make a Song in 20 Minutes?

I recently stumbled upon a great deal on a used OP-1 Field. Did I need it? Not at all. Did I buy it anyway?

I went in with zero expectations, but after skimming the manual and watching a few videos, I started to see the potential. So, I decided to dive in headfirst and see if I could actually make something with it. This video captures my very first attempts at making music on the OP-1 Field—mistakes, discoveries, and all.

⚠️ Warning: If you're an OP-1 expert, you might cringe. But if you're thinking about getting one, this should give you a solid look at the workflow and how quickly (or slowly) you can pick things up.
