Hey Ya’ll,
Instead of opening up a new thread everytime I release something I’ll just put all my stuff in here..
Today I’m excited to share a new pack for the OP-XY with Ambient sounds made with Digitone 2!

For me, Digitone 2 is the perfect synth for Ambient/Experimental music. It’s not just popular—it’s the one I keep coming back to when I want something that feels alive, textured, and full of motion.

There’s a certain depth to the way it handles ambient tones—how it shifts, how it breathes. That’s why I wanted to bring it over to OP-XY.

This isn’t just a port—it’s a curated selection of my favorite sounds from three Digitone 2 packs, reworked as multisamples for OP-XY.

Volume One includes 90 presets designed for ambient layering, scene-based modulation, and expressive transitions.

It’s built to move with you—whether you’re building slow evolving textures or flipping scenes live.

Volume Two is coming soon, with another batch of sounds I couldn’t leave behind.

For now, Volume One is out—and I hope it brings the same kind of inspiration to your setup that Digitone 2 brought to mine.

Get it here.

Thanks John,
Got mine this evening. Some lovely sounds will keep me fed & watered until Christmas or until the Vol2 comes out (or my opxy memory gets maxed out).
Best wishes

I’m beyond excited to finally share this one with you.

Field Memories isn’t just my best OP-1 Field pack to date—it’s the most versatile, expressive, and scene-ready collection I’ve ever built. While it’s deeply rooted in ambient sound design, this pack also leans heavily into lo-fi textures and modern electronic production, making it just as useful for beats and songs as it is for cinematic soundscapes.

The pack is organized into four core sections so you can move fast and stay in flow:

Drums • Chords • Melodic Elements • Textures

Here’s exactly how it all comes together:

:drum: The Drum Sampler Engine

I pushed the Drum Sampler engine to its limits for this release. It now houses:

• 31 Drum Presets
• 34 Chord Presets
• 1 Multisampled Bell Preset
• 18 Multisampled Key Presets

Drums with Movement & Grit
I pulled from my personal collection of favorite drum breaks and grooves, chopped them by hand, and brought many of them to life using the OP-1 Field’s built-in effects. You’ll hear saturation, tape motion, space, and texture baked right into the kits—perfect for lo-fi, downtempo, and electronic production.

Chords, Reimagined
These chords were designed to breathe. By stretching and reshaping them inside the Drum Sampler, each voicing carries a slow, drifting movement that gives your progressions weight, emotion, and atmosphere.

Workflow Ready
Each kit is designed so you can move between scenes without losing harmonic cohesion—perfect for live performance, beat-making, and fast sketching.

:musical_keyboard: The Synth Sampler Engine

For your melodic and atmospheric layers, the Synth Sampler houses a massive palette of sounds designed to move between ambient, lo-fi, and electronic music with ease:

• Atmospheres & Textures
• Keys & Pads
• Bass & Plucks
• Multisampled Strings, Bells & Percussion

These sounds are built for instant emotion—whether you’re scoring, sound designing, building beats, or finishing full tracks.

:sparkles: Exclusive Bonus

Included in the pack (but not shown in the release video) are three custom Rings engine presets. These add extra tonal variety and physical modeling resonance to round out the sound design in a really special way.

Hey Everyone,
OP-XY Digitone 2 Multisample Edition — Volume Two (Free Christmas Release)

A while back, I released Vol. 1 of the Digitone 2 soundpack for the OP-XY, and the response was incredible. It quickly became one of my biggest sellers, inspiring me to push further and create something even more expansive.

I’m excited to announce Vol. 2, featuring over 80 carefully crafted multisample presets designed for Ambient and Experimental soundscapes. This pack builds on the depth and motion of Digitone 2, offering lush textures, evolving layers, and expressive tones that breathe life into your creative workflow.

Originally priced at $15, I’m making this release completely free as a Christmas gift to the community. It’s my way of saying thank you and sharing something special during the holidays.

:sparkles: Whether you’re sculpting immersive ambient worlds or exploring experimental edges, this pack is made to inspire.

Have a Great Holiday Season!

John

Hello and Happy New Year,

I have some exciting news to share regarding my store. I’ve recently migrated my focus over to Sellfy, and because they take a smaller percentage of each sale compared to Gumroad, I’m able to pass those savings directly on to you!

I’ve officially lowered the prices on all my sound packs across the board on the new site. You’re getting the exact same high-quality sounds, just at a much better price point.

:high_voltage: The 2025 Collection Sale

To celebrate the move, I’ve also put all of my 2025 Sound Packs on sale right now. If you’ve been looking to refresh your library for the new year, this is the perfect time to grab them.https://colorsinspace.sellfy.store/

:hammer_and_wrench: What’s Cooking in the Lab?
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio lately and currently have three or four different sound packs in the works. I’m putting the finishing touches on them now and expect to start dropping them very soon. Keep an eye on your inbox for those release announcements!
Thank you for the continued support—it’s what allows me to keep creating.
Best,

John

Hi everyone,

With the latest OP-1 field update adding Release to the drum sampler, we can finally play pianos that don’t feel “chopped.” To celebrate, I’ve put together two free multi-sampled presets that give you a massive 4-octave range with incredible detail.

The Technical Magic

Standard OP-1f drum kits only give you 20 seconds of sample time. To get around this and give you 5 full seconds of sustain per key, I’ve used a specialized sampling technique:

• Speed-Optimized: Each piano note was recorded at a higher pitch/speed to save space.

• Re-pitched on Device: Once loaded into the Field, they are pitched back down to their natural state.

• The Result: You get long, natural decays and a 4-octave range (split across two presets) that shouldn’t be possible within the 20-second limit.

How to use them:

1. Update your firmware: You’ll need the latest update to access the new Release parameters in the Drum sampler.

2. Load 'em up: Drop both presets into your drum folder.

3. Dial in the Release: (I have release set at 60, you may prefer less or more) Go to the Envelope page and turn up the release. Because of the way these were sampled, the notes will ring out beautifully like a real acoustic piano.

Enjoy the extra octaves and the natural sustain!

Best,

John

Hey everyone I just put out this new soundpack this morning.

This is The Unified Field: a comprehensive expansion designed specifically for the OP-1 Field. This collection features 50 high-fidelity Moog Multi-Sample kits combined with 62 expansive atmospheric textures, specifically tuned for Lofi and Dark Ambient production.

The Moog Multi-Samples

To capture the true weight of the Moog, these 50 presets are fully multi-sampled with 24 individual samples per sound. This ensures a natural, authentic response across the entire keyboard of your OP-1 Field.

The “High-Speed” Sampling Technique

To achieve a signature fuzzy, weathered character, I used a classic workflow:

• Every Moog source was recorded at a higher speed and then slowed back down to its original pitch once imported.

• This introduces a gritty harmonic distortion and natural aliasing—perfect for “dusty” lofi foundations.

Get it here…

A Live Performance Demo

Instead of a standard preset walkthrough, this 10-minute arrangement was recorded directly into the TP-7. It showcases a selection of these Moog multi-samples and atmospheres layered together into a cohesive, moody landscape.

WHAT’S INCLUDED (112 Presets Total):

• 50 Moog Multi-Samples: 24 samples per preset for authentic melodic playability.

• 62 Atmospheres: A massive collection of core atmospheres, deep pads, and evolving drones.

• Field Optimized: Specifically built to take full advantage of the OP-1 Field’s stereo engine and internal effects.

Looking Ahead: The OP-XY Series

I’ve also been hard at work on my next three releases, and they are all moving over to the OP-XY. Here is what’s coming:

1. Ambient Toolkit Part 2: Following the success of Part 1, this is a massive expansion of utility and texture for the ambient producer.

2. Trip Hop Essentials: A deep dive into the smoky, rhythmic, and gritty sounds of classic Trip Hop.

3. Post-Rock / Dream Pop: Inspired by the textures of Hammock and Beach House, this pack focuses on lush, atmospheric guitars and ethereal melodies.
