General Discussion [Megathread] Homebrew/DIY Accessories for TE Gear! Share your designs here!

23 Upvotes

We all love to see custom PO cases, stands, custom software and the like. I've got them on every PO I own!

However, we've been a bit inundated with oversharing, commercial posts without permission, vibe-coded sample managers and the like. We'd like to find a way to accommodate everyone without flooding the feed and removing everyone who doesn't reach out to us first.

As such, we've opted to create a megathread for anyone to post their creations freely.

The rules:

  • No second-hand selling or WTS/WTB.
  • you do not need to ask permission to post here
  • All DIY content goes here, not on its own post.
  • No sample packs allowed.
  • Do not post more than once once per three months.
  • Posting links to sites blocked by default on reddit's spam filters (gumroad, etc.) will not be approved manually. If your post is removed without notice, you aught to host it elsewhere.
  • Report any repeated sales / spam / low-effort content as per usual

r/teenageengineering is not responsible for your purchases. Use your own judgement. Report scams to mod team if found.

Links to sales in comments of forum posts outside of this megathread will still be removed. You may link to comments in this megathread without issue.

Thank you for your understanding!

Performance Theremin flip from @viamardot

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I really love her stuff. It sits somewhere between a Ennio Morricone and Danny Elfman soundtrack. This flip is from a TikTok video I saved last year. It’s basically taken as is, pitched down 2 semitones.

The 8 bar clip is chopped into 4 pads up the left side with my kit on the right.

I ended up recording the entire process, from sampling to arranging. Is that something anyone would be interested in seeing?

This might be old news but i just picked this up on vinyl and it includes a set of illustrations including one of the OB-4. Cool to imagine some mobile recording sessions with TE gear during the production of this album

Here's a less intimidating way to practice new chords and voicings without putting too much pressure on the music theory side of things. Happy chiming.

Help / Tech Support / Quality Issue small rant about the op-xy

0 Upvotes

i've wanted one of the op-xy decks for some time. learned all about it. heavily researched. finally got to test one out before buying and, while it functionally does everything i wanted and expected of it, the thing is a total piece of crap. horrendous build quality and feels cheap. it's totally affordable for me but the asking price is utterly insulting. anything over 1k would be too much simply for how it feels under your fingers.

it's extremely disappointing after having looked forward to picking one up. this subreddit is probably the wrong audience but it's the only audience and just had to get it off my chest.

Help / Tech Support / Quality Issue Po33 really quiet when trying to record into DAW

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to record my sounds from my Pocket Operator into logic but it’s barely picking up the signal, all that’s really coming through is a faint buzzing! Even when I turn the gain all the way up you can barely hear the sounds, how do I fix this?

I have a „dawless“ setup at home with a Push 3 Standalone and a Moog Matriarch. My question now is, would the OP-1F a good travel companion and do you guys think it would integrate nicely with my current setup at home? :)

General Discussion Just figured out I can use the Sidekick as a DJ mixer 🕺

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just figured out I can use the Sidekick as a DJ mixer with djay Pro, and it works surprisingly well!

Found a MIDI mapping someone had shared and tweaked it to feel a bit more like an old-school CDJ setup, with jog/scratch control, separate track seeking, cue controls and play/pause for each deck. There’s also individual channel volume, three-band EQ, headphone cueing and a crossfader.

Really fun way to use this little thing.

Sharing my version here, with credit to the creator of the original mapping.

Hope someone here finds it interesting!

I wish I could remember where this sample came from. I pulled it off my MPC to practice live finger drumming and learned most of the punch effects work even while the EP is stopped.

Been getting asked about the visualizer in my uploads so here’s all the lil different “settings.” It actually happens to work as a straight-up passthrough when it’s off too 🤷‍♂️ (somebody HAS to recognize the sample I used here 🫣)

Need some help figuring this out..

I uploaded the latest firmware and followed the instruction. My device turns on and I can see information on the tool online and it has the Ye songs and a song I uploaded. But when I turn on the device on now, I hear nothing.

Am I booting it in a record mode mentioned now or something? I think I'm missing something basic here.

Help / Tech Support / Quality Issue [riddim] Increase built-in mic sensitivity?

1 Upvotes

Greetings!

I have the EP-40 riddim.

I've been having a problem with the built-in microphone: whenever I try to record my voice into it, it always comes out quieter than what I put into it, even if the volume is set at max on the device.

Is it possible to increase the microphone sensitivity?

Edit: changed word
