Inspired by ambient pioneers and modern textural sound design, this collection is both versatile and uniquely characterful. Build entire worlds or subtle layers—Ambient Construction Kit is your foundation.
To help you explore the sounds, I’ve created 8 separate videos, each showcasing a different folder from the kit. These walkthroughs highlight the range and texture of the presets, offering inspiration and insight into how they can be used in your own projects.
The LA Beat scene wasn’t just a movement—it was a sonic revolution. It reshaped hip-hop, electronic music, and everything in between. My first introduction to it was in 2008, when I saw Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, Teebs, and Thundercat perform in San Francisco. That night changed everything for me. It altered the way I heard rhythm, texture, and space, and ultimately transformed how I approach music production.
This is my tribute to that world. This OP-XY drum pack is packed with hip-hop and lo-fi drum presets that capture the raw, unquantized, and heavily textured feel of the scene. Each hit is infused with the spirit of those legendary nights at The Airliner—the deep, off-kilter grooves of Ras G, the dusty boom-bap of Dibia$e, the jazz-infused rhythms of Austin Peralta, and the raw energy of Jonwayne.
To take it further, I’ve included 50 projects featuring different presets, so you can dive right in and start crafting beats that embody the essence of the Low End Theory era. Whether you’re making slumped-out head-nodders, side-chained synth odysseys, or glitchy tape-warped loops, this pack is built to bring that LA Beat energy to your OP-XY.
This isn’t just a drum pack—it’s a love letter to the sound that changed my life.
Introducing a new chord preset pack for the OP-XY, designed for instant ambient and textural soundscapes. This pack features 10 presets, each meticulously crafted with four unique sounds layered across six different chords.
Every key in octave zero is mapped, allowing for quick access to evolving harmonic structures with just a single touch. Whether you’re composing dreamy pads, evolving drones, or lush harmonic beds, these presets give you a rich starting point for deep, atmospheric music.
Perfect for ambient, cinematic, and experimental music, this pack transforms the OP-XY into a powerful tool for harmonic exploration.
Last week, we released a preset pack showcasing the OP-XY’s internal synths. Now, we’re giving away something extra!
We took 9 pad sounds from that pack and ran them through granular effects, transforming them into lush, evolving textures. And the best part? We’re giving them away for free.
There also wav files for other formats included.
Download them now and start exploring new ambient soundscapes!
“This is my first sound pack using only the internal OP-XY synths! I focused on pushing the built-in synth engines with creative use of filters and the filter envelope. Excited for you all to check it out!”
The filter envelope on the OP-XY is surprisingly powerful, especially when you push it to extremes. You can get some wild percussive plucks, evolving pads, and even pseudo-FM sounds just by tweaking it the right way.
Originally madefor the OP-1F“ we have now ported Memory Still over to the OP-XY. You’ll receive 75 carefully crafted presets for you to explore. Each one is inspired by the nostalgic, faded warmth of Boards of Canada—evoking memories captured like snapshots on worn tape. Dive into a world of hazy synth pads, where every sound drifts between past and present.”
Mutable Instruments Rings has always been one of my favorite sound sources. Its rich, resonant tones and organic textures make it perfect for ambient and experimental music. A while back, I made a small sound pack for the OP-XY featuring Rings, but I always felt like it needed more. So, I decided to create a deluxe version with nearly 40 presets. This new pack includes bass, strings, percussion, pads, and keys—and I’m giving it away for free.” Enjoy Ya’ll!
I’m excited to share a free version of Obscura 76 as a thank you to everyone who’s supported me along the way. Your encouragement and feedback mean the world to me, and this is my way of giving back. And since I still have a deep love for the OP-1 Field, I wanted to make sure it’s part of this journey too. I hope you enjoy these sounds and that they inspire new ideas for your music!
This free version includes the same sounds from the Obscura 76 OP-XY sound pack, but it’s not multi sampled.
