Operator One is the 8th soundset in our series of soundsets for Omnisphere 2 where we take an iconic synthesizer, record the most important aspects of it, and recreate its characteristics in Omnisphere.
For this soundset we took a look at another synthesizer from Sweden, and this is the one most people connect with beards, tattoos and striped flannel shirts. The OP1 from Teenage Engineering is probably regarded as the hipster synth number one, and it’s a synthesizer that has an almost fanatical fanbase. Apart from it’s cool design, it’s a very quirky synthesizer. Quite limited but with lots of character.
“operator one is based on the synthetic but almost organic waveforms from the teenage engineering op1.”
We recorded waveforms from the most simple to the complex and advanced, and even recorded a handful of sounds using – and misusing – the effect section.
All sounds were recorded from the OP1 manually without connecting it to the computer via usb – that way we got rid of the dreaded usb noise – but naturally we couldn’t resist recording the noise separately as an alternative noise waveform.
Apart from with the single presets, we also combined another 51 sounds into complex multisounds.
