OP-1: Synth Engines Demo

[@r_a_k_u]

Great comparison - it was quite insightful. And wow, the production value of this movie. You really make it look easy :)

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! I'd glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it's a lot of work to make it look easy! Thanks for checking it out.

Don't get obsessed with how these synths sound - it's their form factor, work flow and general hip value that makes them attractive. Great machines for getting back into the fun of mucking about with synths ....🙂

incredible video, as always - awesome editing

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

[@psimyn]

Really helpful video. Good clear overviews, and great selection of demo melodies and presets. Thankyou!

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Op-1 sounds amazing! Vintage vibes, an uncanny valley between modern and retro limitations. Op-1field is like a laptop sound, hi-fi but a bit to polished…

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your insights.

[@s.gharavi1614]

I agree

[@patrickbateman7444]

Great video, especially the radiohead midi clips :)

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks!

[@markusw9286]

To be honest for every feature this synth/device has- the synth engine does sound very good

[@OllieLoops]

I agree. I think it’s the 32 bit architecture that the sound engine uses.

[@ellemarshall8351]

Great stuff! Love the Radiohead :)

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks!

[@aravartanian7578]

What on earth is the riff he's playing on the Phase synth engine? It's so familiar but I can't quite place it.

Radiohead - No Surprises

[@newflanged_]

Can’t really decide which one sounds better. I like the charm of the original OP-1 but the hifi character of the new OP-1 is also great! 😮

[@OllieLoops]

Those are great observations. I personally find Field to be a bit more refined and subtle. And a stereo signal path is big advantage.

[@ArhatGraviton]

Awesome video engineering. So giving..

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks!

[@christianstenvall6023]

another great video!

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks Christian. I appreciate that.

[@danewav1]

Dns sounds a lot crispier now, quality overall

[@OllieLoops]

Do you mean DNA? yeah, I think the field sounds a bit more refined overall. Some presets are similar, but some are noticeably improved.

[@stevensims3342]

To me, it mainly sounds smoother while the OG OP-1 has that characteristic fidelity paired with the style of the presets of the original since it appears they have been carried over. The field really stands out with the FM engine however. Much smoother, soothing tones from it.

[@OllieLoops]

Great observations. Thanks for sharing.

[@Azuzota]

Da Funk was a good touch for D Synth

[@OllieLoops]

Yes! Thanks.

[@Azuzota]

@@OllieLoops What's the tune for FM? I know it and I know that I know it, but I can't quite put my finger on it! It's been bugging me since yesterday.

aye man if you started doing ableton tutorials or something I’d love to pay you or something

[@OllieLoops]

Hey, I do private lessons and I know Ableton well. Let me know if that interests you. Email me if you're interested. peace.

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

the og looks more playful with the colours . I mostly make retro game music , the OG is a keeper for me :)
