Reflections in Space // OP-1 Ambient Techno


video by Eon Edge

"Rediscovering my OP-1.

After listening to Rykard's Arrive The Radio Bacon on repeat for a few days, I fell in love with gritty, unswept, bitcrushed digital sounds. And what better instrument than the OP-1 for this kind of sounds?

I took my OP-1 out from its case where it has been lying for months, and rediscovered how fun it is to make music on this machine. Yes, the synth engines are quirky and lo-fi, and the tape workflow it's not the fastest for writing a full song, but it's so fun to play with! Every time I switch it on, I get lost in hours of sound design, and inevitably come up with a few interesting loops.

So here's a track born from a simple arpeggiated sequence, I don't even remember which synth engine I used for this sound, but if I could take it on a date, I would. It sounds so interesting!

I consider this track as a training exercise to get familiar again with production techniques within the OP-1 itself, programming drums, building sections, adding transitions, etc. The long-term objective is to master the instrument and write a few songs, but mostly to remind myself how fun and rewarding it is to make music.

Hope you like it!

All sounds from the OP-1, mixed and mastered in Logic Pro.

Prophet 2000 Sampler | Fantastic sound! | Demo & Tutorial


video by Espen Kraft

"The Sequential Prophet 2000 sampler from 1985. Followed a few months later by the module version Prophet 2002. 12 bit glorious sound, analog filter and amp and a very difficult mapping structure.

There does exist several software editors for this sampler so you don't HAVE to use the sampler itself to do the editing. However, I get the most satisfaction, inspiration and reward by using the sampler itself. That's why I don't care much for software editors for any synth or gear.
Both the 'Prophet 2012' software and SampleWrench lets' you import/export samples so Google them if that's your thing.

The 'null disk' I use in this tutorial is made following the Paul Wiffen Prophet 200 clinic from Keyboard Magazine Oct' 1987.
Most of the sounds in my demo track is made from sampling some of my synths, like the Juno-106, DX7, and Alpha Juno. The drums are all coming from the Korg KR-55 as I show and I chopped it all up in the 2000 and recorded each drum hit in the DAW and arranged the beat in there.
Finally I sampled the entire song and played with the filter and resonance in the 2000, in real time, while recording that into the DAW, I then found the best parts and put it into the arrangement as you hear it.
Reverb used is Valhalla VintageVerb.
The final mix is done with stems through the SSL SiX with outboard processing and mastering."
