Can the OP-1F do this plucky sound?

I’ve listened to a lot of clips from the Udo Audio Super 6 and Super 8 lately, and several clips feature a very nice sort of LoFi plucky sound. Is this something you guys could approximate with the OP-1F?

Starting at 0:28

Cheers fellow OP-1 heroes!

Could you post the timestamp of the specific sound? 0:28 is just the start of the video and features a very common vibraphone-type sound that’s trivial to reproduce (couple sine waves), so you probably meant something else.

I should have been more specific. That is indeed the sound I’m referring to, but I can’t get the attack right. There’s almost a noise component that softens the sound up that I can’t put my finger on. I can make similar sounds, but they sound plinky/cheap or washy in comparison. Perhaps the easiest way would be to sample the sound, but I like trying to get as far as I can with the synth engines. I learn a lot that way.

To me it sounds like a few sine waves stacked together with detuning.

Here is something on OP1 that sounds similar. Cluster engine, Blue at 99. Gold at 99 Grey at 65, Orange at 3.

Minimum attack that quickly goes to 50% sustain, long-ish decay.

FM probably could do this too, but it would be harder to find the right combination of parameters.
