Velocity sensitivity also works with internal sequencers, as well as over external midi, improving the experience when using OP–1 as the main controller for other devices, including your computer. the result will always be evenly loud, which can be desired in some situations. the benefit of the off setting is that you can be sure to get the maximum volume from a sound, even with soft playing. this basically means the volume of the sound will respond to how hard you play the keys. and vice versa - the softer you play, the more gentle the sound will be. using physical touch, generally the harder you play, the louder the sound. to access these settings, hold shift and press tempo. Velocity has three settings - off, soft and hard. MICKE REUTER & MIKAEL ERICSSON RESEARCHING THE OPTIMAL VELOCITY RESPONSE CURVE Still possible, as of today, we've added velocity sensitivity to the internal in the past, this could only be achieved in OP-1 by connecting an external keyboard. Lets you add dynamic expression to your music. the controls at your hand are as follows:Īttention operators: playing and performing on a velocity sensitive keyboard as always, everything is fully real-time and modulate-able. the carrier signal is built-in: a custom 7-oscillator polyphonic synth that goes from a single sawtooth to pure white noise. In the OP–1 field vocoder, the audio input (the modulator/your voice) is passed through a bank of 20 filters with controllable bandwidth and formant shift. you should now hear your OP–1 field burst into beautiful singing.

after you've selected your input source, speak and play notes on the musical keyboard. this is the input for the voice, the modulator, and you can use any input source, such as the built-in microphone, a headset or even the radio or usb. With the vocoder active, press mic to select the input source. hold shift and press any sound slot key 1–8.Now you too can try this effect, by downloading and installing the new free firmware update for OP–1 field.

OUR FAVORITE SCIENTISTS MICKE REUTER & MIKAEL ERICSSON ARE BACK AT IT DOING IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FOR OP–1 FIELD VOCODER designed to analyze and synthesize the human voice, iconic artists have employed the device throughout the years to make their synthesizers sing, from wendy carlos and bob moog, to kraftwerk, herbie hancock, beastie boys, tupac, daft punk, and countless others. OP–1 field, now with vocoder! the vo(ice)(en)coder revolutionized music since it's introduction to the world by homer dudley at bell labs in 1938.
