I'm looking for steel drums!

Has anyone used steel drums with their OP-1? I need to make steel drum sounds for an upcoming project. Can someone direct me to some steel drums?

Are any of these something I can just throw into my OP-1?

you could plug your computer’s headphone out to the input and sample them. You could load them into a sampler and record them into the OP-1’s Tape. You could use the xFer Drum Tool to map samples for the OP-1’s Drum Sampler.


But none of them are OP-1 patches, there will be work on your part to get them to be useable for you :slight_smile:

Man, steel drums are my most hated instrument for some reason. Hope you find something workable though mguniverse!

I only tolerate them here @Virtual_Flannel

I need them for a school project, only using the steel drums ironically. :stuck_out_tongue:

Haha, perfect example. I’ve always tripped out on that instrumental. Reminds me of Alyssa Milano.
