OPL1 Basics

By Snyderman on February 15, 2026 11:25 pm

A return to the most basic OPL1 2-OP synth with only sine waves. Gave myself about 3 hours to make sounds and sequence it.

Definitely need to spend more time on mapping out arrangements so the song is more interesting, but I'm happy with the percussion patterns and some of the sounds I was able to make with a pretty bare bones FM synth.

This might be my favorite you've put out this year. The sound design's awesome. Dig the tone of the bass in particular! big_smile

Lots of sparkly sounds! Great balance and variety in sound design. And a catchy track too!

Sick! Is really cool how you can SIDesque tones from the OPL series.

Perhaps basic, but still has plenty going on.
