there are many workflows for music creation on OP–XY. this chapter will cover some best practices to get the most out of your OP–XY.
project overview
each track (both instrument and auxiliary) can hold up to nine patterns. a pattern is an arrangement of notes or sounds. each pattern can hold a maximum of 120 notes.
the arrangement of patterns on each track is called a scene. there are 99 available scenes. scenes also store a the volumes and mutes for each track. scenes are as long as their longest pattern.
scenes can then be composed into songs. songs are arrangements of scenes. OP–XY can store 9 songs.
projects are where you create patterns, scenes and songs. projects can be quick musical ideas or full songs. OP–XY can store thousands of projects.
to create a song, start by sequencing the various tracks.
use arrange to create new patterns or copy and modify existing patterns.
switch between the scenes and compose patterns into the sections of your song.
once you have a few scenes you are happy with, you can start to arrange these into a song. open the song mode and sequence the scenes into a full song.
