OP-1 Sidechain FX with the Updated Tremelo LFO


Published on Jan 4, 2017 djthomaswhite

"Here is a demo video of a feature in the new Teenage Engineering OP-1 you probably just glossed over. As a modulation tool, the already useful Tremelo LFO has been updated with 4 new waveforms (Ramp, Exponential Ramp, Square and Pulse) and the wave reset now starts at the beginning of the wave shape cycle. Also, the timing of the divided wave shapes found on the blue knob from 6 to midnight are even divisions of the time code/tape speed in the device. You can do a lot of new modulations with these additions when combined with the existing pitch, volume and envelope control, but the biggest new one for me is 'Sidechain FX.' Typically "Sidechaining" is made possible with a compressor, and by triggering the compressor with an external signal to reset the volume compression. You can simulate that here, if you are seeking 4x4 rhythmic sidechaining with the updated Tremelo LFO and the Exponential Ramp Wave. You can also get downright nasty with the pulse waves and linear ramp wave. Never forget you can negatively sweep sounds too, not just sweep them up. Dance producers take note, this is aimed squarely at you. It's happy hour in OP-1 land... Let's go get modulated!"
