COMPLETE LIST OF SAMPLE PATCHES:
Bass grime
Recorded from a DSI Mopho analog synth, this gritty, powerful bass will be perfect for most modern styles of electronic music.
Use a classic Low-pass filter (FX on, use the red encoder) or turn the patch into bomb/ drop sounds (LFO on)
Casio Flutes
Recorded from a small casio SA21, this charming lo-fi lead sound is reminescent of vintage whistle and flute synth patches.
Use delay (FX on) or emulate spooky emergency alarm sounds (LFO on)
Choir Vintage
Adapted from a mellotron sample, processed through high-end studio equalisers to guarantee the best results on the OP-1. A classic, emotional sound.
Use band-pass filter (FX on) and a slight vibrato (LFO on)
Dark Brass
Sample of an orchestral brass section playing a sustained unison note. Features French Horns, Trombones and trumpets sections. A very cinematic patch evocating power and danger. Reduce reverb (FX off) or add a random chaotic modulation (LFO on)
Glockenspiel
A classic instrument, beautifully rendered on the OP-1, with a very realistic sound over two octaves.
Explore the lower ranges (-1 to -3) for synthetic bell sounds. Reduce reverb (FX off)
Island Keys
Derived from a sample of a Steel Drum combined with a sample of digital bells for the best results and playability on the OP-1. Exotic and versatile!
Add delay (FX on) and a strong pulsating tremolo (LFO on)
Moog Triangle
Recording of a minimoog. The sweet, slightly dirty sound combined with a longer release make this patch perfect for arpeggios and pads. The CWO effect emulates a flanger effect. For some real fun, turn the LFO on, and speak into the OP-1 microphone: your voice will alter the CWO effect to create vocoder, talk-box or outrageous sounds : )
Moonlit Orchestra
Recording of an orchestra. The combination of strings, woodwinds and subtle women choir create a soothing, nocturne sound. Reverb and a very subtle tremolo add to the realism. A great, inspiring patch, playable over 5 octaves on the OP-1 (-2 to +4)
Nanodust
Recorded from a MFB Nanozwerg, a mono analog synth.
Add a delay (FX on) and control the delay speed via G-Force (LFO on): explore the lower and higher ranges (-4 or +4) while twisting and turning your OP-1 to create some vintage echo effects!
Pan Flutes
A very dynamic and organic sound, with realistic legato and tremolo features. Check the low register (-1, -2) for deep, ethnic sounds, or higher registers to emulate a piccolo flute. Add delay (FX on) and a progressive, strong tremolo (LFO on)
Piano Dream
Emulating a piano on the OP-1 is no simple task, but this patch proves that it can be done with useful, satisfying results! Realistic sound over three octaves. Control the amount of reverb using G-Force: a great way to add life to arpeggios, or create dub effects on simple piano lines.
Rhodes High
Recorded from one of the very best electric pianos of all time, a Fender Rhodes MKII. A jazzy, funky patch, playable over three octaves.
Use a high-pass filter increase clarity in the lower notes (FX on) and a classic-sounding tremolo (LFO on).
Saxo Tenor
Recording of a tenor saxophone in a studio control room. Programmed with realistic legato and tremolo functions. Surprisingly, higher ranges can also be used for great synthetic lead sounds.
Sweet Tines
Direct recording of a Wurlitzer reed, using a contact microphone. This patch provides a familiar sound, reminiscent of electric pianos or music boxes,
perfect for mellow keyboard chords and licks.
Add reverb (FX on) a great organic tremolo (LFO on)
Trumpet Soft
Recording of a jazz trumpet played softly, using a ribbon microphone, for a sweet and mellow sound. The nitro effect is used to enhance the brightness of the attack and add subtle organic variations, while the LFO provides a very realistic tremolo. Play simple chords in the lower ranges (-1 or -2) for some very moody orchestral ambiances.
Woodwinds
Combination of 2 flutes, 2 oboe, 2 english horns and 2 clarinets. A classic sound, full of magic and emotion.
Control the amount of reverb (FX on/off) and add a strong tremolo (LFO on) for modern styles.
