Sorry… one more demo
Here's one last beat demo. This was made "live". Okey. See you at NAMM in january. Live FNXC
And finally… Radio first preview!
So. This is what this day's massive blog contribution actually is about. The first preview of Op-1's built in FM Radio! What you hear in this demo are some simple effects added and some channel selection in the end. There's also a sequenced beat playing parallel. Remember that this is a very early experiment. We still have some home work to do to fully explore the full potential of having a synthesizer with built-in FM radio (!) radiox

Op-1 Terminal Experiment
There's been a huge request about if it's really possible to create an "old skool" terminal type key sound effect on the Op-1. Yes. Of course. Here's the evidence: terminal

Circuit Bending(!)
This is a reply to a post from a circuit bender. We hope you'll like the Op-1 as much as your circuit bent toys...listen to this simple demo (No sampling and straight from the Op-1 proto.): circuit-benderTags: Circuit bending, demo, OP-1, prototype

Avant Garde FM!
Wow...! Sorry, but I was just playing around with Op-1's FM engine and recorded the whole session. Here is one part of that recording that I thought was quite interesting..I had to put it up!!! I am not sure what you think..It is avant garde..but I call it: wow-fm
Music test
Not to put any value in the word music, but here is a piece with synth and drums. Some experimentation with the EQ and PTC and also some PAN. And a lot of CMP. Gives you an idea how to dirty your sounds. And as all demos posted here, straight out from the Op-1 proto... seq-beat (I think this will be the last sound-demo for some time now. Have to work with other parts of the project.)Tags: music test, OP-1, sound demo

Piano Imitation
This is an experiment to imitate a piano sound using one of Op-1's synth engines. (STR+SPC+SQ+EQ). Warning: It's not ultra-realistic (!). Please feel free to post any sound request. pianoTags: OP-1, piano, sound demo
