    I also fell in love with it from KZread videos and bought it straight away. I’m probably going to get smacked down here but to be honest, I doubt I will ever make anything musical with this device. Perhaps the other mode I might, but I just get experimental, soundscape sounds with a beat behind it. I’m sure it can a absolutely do what I was originally after but I can get the result quicker with a combination of other generative devices and the reason rack.

    cool !! Yeah I`m kind agree with you about how building the composition via (real time) Jamming out in session view and recorded into arrangement view . Isn`t that the reason we`re all using Ableton in first place ?

    ableton always get the coolest plugins. seems like the perfect all in one drum synth. i don't think any other standalone drum synth comes close to it unless you buy at least 3 of the best ones but pay an extra 300 😂

    I liked it but I have to admit that I bought it thinking it could export midi clips and then realized that you have to record audio, which I personally dislike. Still, a very creative device.

    You can use the devices with all other sorts of MIDI sequencers. You can't export due to the complexity of the built-in sequencer.

    It’s called Mass and it’s a standalone version of part of the Opal drum synth. The full version is a larger device with multiple synth engines and sequencer tracks. Check out opal.fors.fm and the previous video on my channel.

    It does, you can send them to different audio tracks in Live. I did however simply resample the sounds from the full version before moving on to the standalone versions of the different synth engines

    I haven't been able to create anything resembling what I would consider a good hi hat or cymbal or shaker sound. Just that little clinky sound you're getting in this video. It's OK, but it's not really adequate as an overall solution for techno. Am I missing something?

    Simply select the MIDI track with the full version of Opal on it under “Audio From” on one or more audio tracks. In the drop-down menu underneath the top one you will see that multiple pairs of outputs from Opal can be selected, corresponding to the different synth engines and the effect track.
