CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
''The OP-1 essentials volume 1 is truly essential! I use the sample patches all the time to bring organic warm sounds to the mix, favorites being the tuba, the fender pbass and the vinyl sound (in a lower octave).'' Slomen https://soundcloud.com/slomen ''Great sounding samples and drums. Well worth the money : ) It's nice to have access to orchestra sounds and acoustic percussions on the OP-1. '' Mike Stubblefield ''In a nutshell: a must have for all OP1 users. If you need only one soundbank, this is the one. Perfect combination of various drumkits and real instruments samples. The drum kits are very well combined, and offer a great variety of rythms for all kind of music composition: from hip hop to DnB to soul or electro, or any kind of experimental stuff you'd like to work on. You'll find inspiration with each kit. To name just a few, you got all the classics, 909 and vintagelab for example, and some very unique ones, like the "beatbox" and "clap pack" which are perfect to give a warm touch to an hip hop track; the vinyl like noise on the "classic cuts" which provides a very old school sound; or "world percs" and "wood kit" which offer a lot of woody tones to go with all the synths samples here. Speaking of the synths, my favorite OP1 samples are in this soundbank. Zither, strings section, tuba, flute: you name it, there are all kind of musical instruments represented here. There are also a lot of bass to go with it, and some pretty fun stuff to play with, like weird scifi xylo, vox pad, etc. All the sounds are perfectly recorded (well, professionaly in fact), the samples are perfectly chopped, and the presets are excellent, you can just go on and play with it. Don't hesitate to go to higher or lower octaves to find some unique sounds. The work on it makes it deserve every buck, it's an amazing source of insiration. Can't wait for volume 2!''
