🍃The Approaching Stillness🌳 ~ TE OP-1 Field Ambient

video upload by Postmodern Machine

"Hey! 🌤

Here's another piece I created on the OP-1 Field in the first few weeks of ownership, and before having to charge the battery for the 1st time! 🌿

For this track I used the cassette tape (porta simulation) 📼 I found it a bit tricky to balance distortion and grit with hiss and input level. This track is fairly hissy on full range systems, but it still sounds very nice. I may end up preferring the vintage 4 track as a compromise between lo-fi and fidelity.

I have enjoyed messing with the various sequencers and the modulation section. This track has a healthy dose of the mother reverb, but the master effect is the mono delay, which in this track is set to repeat many times. As it's coming up in the center position it almost adds a 5th sound source to the 4 tracks. 🔉

This piece is coming off the OP-1 as a mix. I stored the 4 tracks in case I need them later, but essentially just mastered the mix after recording it into my DAW through the analogue listed below. The piece is as performed in this case, with no edits. I want to see what the OP-1 field alone is capable of 🧨
