Op-1 sounds amazing! Vintage vibes, an uncanny valley between modern and retro limitations. Op-1field is like a laptop sound, hi-fi but a bit to polished…
Don't get obsessed with how these synths sound - it's their form factor, work flow and general hip value that makes them attractive. Great machines for getting back into the fun of mucking about with synths ....🙂
To me, it mainly sounds smoother while the OG OP-1 has that characteristic fidelity paired with the style of the presets of the original since it appears they have been carried over. The field really stands out with the FM engine however. Much smoother, soothing tones from it.
