Dear Frederico, I wish I could give you a thousand likes for this! What a wonderful and inspiring video. It was like watching a great artist (whom you are) painting a colourful masterpiece. Thanks so much for this, and please - NEVER, EVER stop making music!!! You rock!!!!! Will now binge watch all your videos over the coming days. Love and light from sunny Thailand 🇹🇭 ☀️🏝
Totally blissful ambient moods. Nice walkthrough. Love these layered textures you're getting with the Mood and Microcosm. The Microcosm is on my list to purchase next, along with a Digitakt and a Make Noise Strega. I think that will cover all of my generative ambient needs for the future!
@@OoraMusic Nice! Thanks man. I’ve been playing around with the OP-1. Surprisingly powerful tool! & so much fun. It just works. And is easy to use straight out of the box. I also enjoyed your talk about how actually minimising your kit can make for more creativity as it allows you to ‘let go’. I’ll be watching your videos going forwards. Cheers from England!
Such a cool collaboration of pedals! Makes me excited to save up and buy some of these awesome instruments and pieces of technology to use them to make music myself!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The past two years I have been searching for ambient op-1 tutorials. This is my fav. So simple and informative. Hope you make more!
Thanks for sharing your process, I have been a fan of yours on Instagram for a while and always enjoyed your work. I just got recommended your channel. It is really inspiring to see how you create your pieces. I will certainly try to bring some of it into my own experiments! Subbed! Keep it up
Federico, dude. This was amazing. Thank you for making this. Just ordered an Op-1 and ended up on your channel from looking at Bliss Mood pedal videos. So stoked for my Op-1 to arrive :-)
That was absolutely fantastic. Great setup, very informative, beautiful ambient music. Just a great video and thank you for introducing me to a couple of new pedals I didnt know about!
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been playing with my OP-1 a bit and it’s amazing for this type of music indeed. Norns Compass on top of it is also a winner, when used sparsely!
These are all great pedals. I do find that you have to keep the gain on the Rooms really low with synths or the output is too hot. OP1 isn’t my jam, but there are a lot of other great sound sources that will work just as well. Really enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing 🎛🙌🏻✨
This sounds incredible. What a great tutorial! I recently got an OP-1 and have been struggling creating my own ambient tones with it aside from the preset synth sounds. For the sounds you used, were they sampled?
I like this a whole lot! Very nice video indeed! Would love myself an OP1, and a Hologram Microcosm. Got a Mood, and it is one of my favorite pedals of all time.
What kind of cable do you need to run from the out of a effect pedal to your mixer/interface? Do you need one of those ones that go to dual 1/4 or XLR, or can it just be 1 mono input into an interface? Thanks!
This video is incredibly useful. Thank you! Do you have other videos similar to this where you build ambient music with the OP-1 and walk us through how you did it? I want to create washes in the background while I noodle on my guitar on top of it. I’m dying to recreate some of the ambient work by Robin Guthrie. Thank you!!
Hi Federico, thank you for this nice video with a wonderful musical outcome. This question may sound odd, but where did you get these angled trs connecters/ patch cables?
Wow, I use a very similar batch of pedals with my OP-1. Just curious, do you run your pedals directly into a mixer, or do you place something else in the chain between the pedals and mixer? My output signal seems weak at times and curious if there's a fix for that. A great multi FX you may want to look at is Cooper FX Arcades. Since it uses many different cartridges/FX, you can do a lot with it for a small amount of space. Cheers!
Heeey! Love the vibe man! ☺️✌🏻✨It is lush and sticks like a magnet to my ears! I was wondering when you turned on Rooms the stereo image just opened up so widely, from the video i get that you go through with a mono signal and in the end on Rooms you go mono/in, stereo/out is that right? What about phase?
Great explanation on the pedals, love my Microcosm! Curious, on your Shallow Water, do you notice crackling in the audio out when turning the mix and volume knob that only goes away if you touch the casing while turning?
Fantastic video! That’s a lot of pricy gear there too. I’m still hurting from my op1 cost. ;) anyway super clean setup and I’m dying to know where you got your cables. (I know, odd question). Please link!
Amazing sounds. Loving your videos. Where did you get the piano/vibraphone sounds for the op1? Are they your own samples? And pointers welcome! Keep up the good work
Cool! I was looking for something to combine with the SP 404 mk2 (most use it for lofi beats but it’s a secret ambient powerhouse)- I won’t need that first pitch efx because the cassette and vinyl simulators in the SPmk2 will provide lots of wobble on their own. Im going with the Mood and microcosm - I think they will be perfect for sending SP loops through. Thanks!
Dear Federico, you are an inspiration to me. But today, may I simply ask the name of your cables please? I’ve been looking for hours for something similar. Thank you! Hugo
Hey Federico! First off, great video - thanks so much. Quick question: the felt piano - did you create that patch with one of the OP-1 synth engines or did you load samples? If it was samples, which pitch did you load? Thanks again!
Man this is the video I just needed. I’m doing a lot of meditation. Would love to start making ambient music. I would like to buy a kit like this but visual wise I want to choose for the Moog Grandmother. Is there a reason why you would choose the Op1 over the Grandmother?
This may sound crazy, but would love to see a video about how to actually cable, set a set up like this up and get it into a DAW....know that sounds basic but would be great to see
From what I can see, and what happened in the video he is using this path: •OP-1 or “sound source” into mood (loop/freeze with color) •Mood into Fairfield (eq, warmth) •Fairfield into Microcosm (delay/pitch shifting) •microcosm into Room (reverb) This would then run into your audio interface for DAW or a mixer for live performance. If you look at all the cables in the video there is only one in and one out, so nothing seems to be using stereo pairs or splitting the signal path. Just a standard pedal chain, with each pedal having wet/dry knob, and mixing that till you have the desired result at the end.
Unfortunately, the hologram is a bit bugged, sometimes few algorithms have no output volume and you need to restart the unit. I hope it will get fixed soon
I wish I could like this video a second time. This is one of the best ambient tutorial video's on youtube. Thanks for sharing your process.
Wow, thanks! Happy it was useful!

Thanks :)
I checked your music thanks to this video, and I love it. I have listened to the track Lamento multiple times, have it on repeat. Great work
thanks :)

Yes, strega and microcosm is a great combo
just waiting for my Microcosm to arrive, so I was really excited to watch this........
its a great pedal!
Yeah, there aren't many pedals that even begin to modify the sound so well.....it's exceptional
Just ordered one! August 👌
This is beautiful. Very inspiring.
Yes, it's an exceptional piece of gear - can't wait for my delivery
Just did a vid with mines again it’s awesome
You sir are a master and wonderful person for sharing your experiences from behind the curtain of your creativity 🙏🏼💕
And you are very kind. Thanks!
I ’ve watched this a few times now, every video you make is both informative and beautiful. Really appreciate you for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
I've been enjoying your videos a lot. I just purchased the OP1. Intrigued by the other pedals here. Which is your favourite pedal for ambient music?

@@holtimt buy used :!
you have such a good ear for sounds and getting the most out of this amazing gear
Sounds outstanding! Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for your amazing video. I like how you describe in clear details the instrument tools names, and how you use them. Very good demo.
Thanks!!

Basinski would be proud! Subscribed.
:) love him!
Nice sound design walkthrough... Suggest trying a NightSky in place of Rooms to take it further... ☺️
maybe sooner or later!
Beautiful! I’m inspired to run my op-1 through mood, haven’t tried that yet. Also pairs well with the cocoquantus for ambient 👍 love your videos!
Thank you for the video! It's nice you respond so fast with a video after some Instagram comments asking for it.
I’ve been wanting one of those microcosms for a minute now. Need to jus do it already
If you order from their preorders now, you can get it by April
Thank you Thank you for your Ambient set up and information on the pedals
My pleasure!
great texture with just a tiny loop. sounds fantastic. thanks for the video walkthrough.
:) tiny loops 4 ever
This is what I want to make. I love it! Thank you for the tips!
thanks!!
Federico, dude. This was amazing. Thank you for making this.

Thanks Frederico! Amazing as always - felice anno nuovo
Very cool Federico! Keep these videos coming by. This combination of pedals is great!
This is a great overview and really has me tempted to buy an op-1….thank you
hope this helped in decideing if its for you or not!
@@OoraMusic I’m still sitting on the fence but I did just get a BlackBox sampler.///

Ouuhh what an ambience ! Great great sound, great video !
This sounds incredible. What a great tutorial!
I recently got an OP-1 and have been struggling creating my own ambient tones with it aside from the preset synth sounds.
For the sounds you used, were they sampled?
probably they were some sound i sampled,it is really easy to create sound on the op
Just found your channel. Absolutely amazing! Keep it up :)
Thank you so much!
Dude this is awesome 👏 could you explain to a newbie like me how do you connect all theses pedal together ; like what’s your chain ?
Microcosm adds such good texture. Im finding it quite difficult to find one in the UK
hard to find anywhere sadly!
This was super helpful and educational. Thank you!
Happy to hear that!
Mellow sound brother, very enjoyable moments.
Thanks for listening
Set basically you could have used a spoon with all those effect 😂 love your work though very inspiring❤
ahahah fair enough!
🙏 - thanks for the walk through, super helpful, inspired lots of ideas fro me to play with
Perfect set up!
thanks
I like this a whole lot! Very nice video indeed! Would love myself an OP1, and a Hologram Microcosm. Got a Mood, and it is one of my favorite pedals of all time.
That is perfect.. Thank you for sharing this ❤️
You are so welcome!
Really nice. Thanks. I'm not sure I'm ready for the OP1's price point but I would like one.
yeah not cheap, but a great tool!
Beautiful. I wish I could afford all of those fantastic pedals.
it was a long long process to acquire them all!
Amazing soundscape!
thanks!
Thanks for making this 🙏🏻 very inspiring.
My pleasure!
Seriously wonderful stuff
Thanks!
I got a microcosm today can’t wait to get it and experiment
amazing pedal!
Try the Ojai from Strymon to power your pedals. It will let you give more volume without them getting too hot. I'm so glad i got one.
thanks for the tip!
Very nice, I will also try it soon, I hope.
All the best
Great video! I love your patch cables. Who made them?
I have since ages.. I think they are solder less lava cables!
awesome. thank *YOU* infinitely
You're welcome!
Wow!) Its amazing!!) Thank you!!
Thank you too!
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!
wonderful

I'm glad you like it
Fascinating. Thanks

Incredible

Hi Federico, thank you for this nice video with a wonderful musical outcome. This question may sound odd, but where did you get these angled trs connecters/ patch cables?
Wow, I use a very similar batch of pedals with my OP-1. Just curious, do you run your pedals directly into a mixer, or do you place something else in the chain between the pedals and mixer? My output signal seems weak at times and curious if there's a fix for that. A great multi FX you may want to look at is Cooper FX Arcades. Since it uses many different cartridges/FX, you can do a lot with it for a small amount of space. Cheers!
Hey! my pedals rund directly in the mixer. I should buy a DI sooner or later, but so far so good. Arcades seems amazing!
Love this and all your videos, so inspiring and soothing both. Ty
Thank you so much! Still learning on bettering my spoken part :)
Heeey!
Love the vibe man! ☺️✌🏻✨It is lush and sticks like a magnet to my ears!
I was wondering when you turned on Rooms the stereo image just opened up so widely, from the video i get that you go through with a mono signal and in the end on Rooms you go mono/in, stereo/out is that right?
What about phase?
Great to see your process! What’s your process of sampling sounds into OP-1 (like felt)? Single note? If so - what pitch do you typically sample?
Great explanation on the pedals, love my Microcosm! Curious, on your Shallow Water, do you notice crackling in the audio out when turning the mix and volume knob that only goes away if you touch the casing while turning?
wonderful video
Great tips
Glad you think so!
Fantastic video! That’s a lot of pricy gear there too. I’m still hurting from my op1 cost. ;) anyway super clean setup and I’m dying to know where you got your cables. (I know, odd question). Please link!
Thanks! cables are mix from hosa and old lava cable i think
They look like George L guitar patch cables
just for the reverb part I hit the like button aha
:)
Great video!
Thanks!
Really great!!!
thanks
Amazing man!! Are those VST sounds downloaded or do they come from the factory on the op-1?
Amazing sounds. Loving your videos. Where did you get the piano/vibraphone sounds for the op1? Are they your own samples? And pointers welcome! Keep up the good work
Thanks! I found it somewhere online, an op1 archive that I forgot the name, sorry
Great great video!
Thanks!
love this, short question: what kind of cables are you using (in shallow water and microcosm)? seem very flexible and handy!
I think they are lava cables, wich you build easily yourself... bought many years a go
A+
thanks!
Incredible...
thanks
Cool! I was looking for something to combine with the SP 404 mk2 (most use it for lofi beats but it’s a secret ambient powerhouse)- I won’t need that first pitch efx because the cassette and vinyl simulators in the SPmk2 will provide lots of wobble on their own. Im going with the Mood and microcosm - I think they will be perfect for sending SP loops through. Thanks!
ooh now i want to try a sp!
Really really nice!!! What kind of audio cables do you use? Seems cool.
i think they were lava cable!
I assume there's a mixer/audio interface involved here too? would love to know what kind. Great video by the way!
Im using a play differently model 1 into a UAD apollo 8
Great sounds! Do you remember where you got your synth samples for this?
Op-1 fun has mostly everything that you will need.
Great food for thought. What are those funky patch cables? They look ideal for close pedal placement.
@@OoraMusic will check them out. Thanks 👍
Great Music!!!
thanks!
Dear Federico, you are an inspiration to me. But today, may I simply ask the name of your cables please? I’ve been looking for hours for something similar. Thank you! Hugo
Hey Hugo! I bought those ages ago, I think they are lava cables , the one you build yourself without soldering!
Hey Federico! First off, great video - thanks so much. Quick question: the felt piano - did you create that patch with one of the OP-1 synth engines or did you load samples? If it was samples, which pitch did you load? Thanks again!
Hello ! I downloaded the sample from an op1 sample libray that now i cant remember. I think was tune to c3.
Man this is the video I just needed. I’m doing a lot of meditation. Would love to start making ambient music. I would like to buy a kit like this but visual wise I want to choose for the Moog Grandmother. Is there a reason why you would choose the Op1 over the Grandmother?
i love the portability of op1 and the tape recording systme, but grandmother is a great tool of course!

is a good idea, i will think about something
Luke you got it right!
Really a nice work! A question if i can: what kind of cable do you use to connect op1 with the mono input of a pedal?
I have a trs to ts, not sure is is ok, but always worked fine!
Those pedals are mostly unavailable unfortunately. Have you tried the red panda particle v2? Or the Cooper fx outward v2?
Fantastico!
Very cool! Your Instagram got me here ;)
Un saluto da Torino!
Ciao e grazie!
Unfortunately, the hologram is a bit bugged, sometimes few algorithms have no output volume and you need to restart the unit. I hope it will get fixed soon
Thanks for this feedback!
Any other issues?
@@franko444 thanks for the feedback! I have no issues cause I don't have this pedal, just want it :D
@@franko444 I use it as a send effect, so, I actually never bypass it
Gorgeous. Are the patches/samples you used already on the OP-1 or did you add them? Any chance they're downloadable somewhere?
all sounds I created and probably deleted , I am too lazy to save anything ahah
SUPERB
Thanks 🤗
