I’m beyond excited to finally share this one with you.
Field Memories isn’t just my best OP-1 Field pack to date—it’s the most versatile, expressive, and scene-ready collection I’ve ever built. While it’s deeply rooted in ambient sound design, this pack also leans heavily into lo-fi textures and modern electronic production, making it just as useful for beats and songs as it is for cinematic soundscapes.
The pack is organized into four core sections so you can move fast and stay in flow:
Drums • Chords • Melodic Elements • Textures
Here’s exactly how it all comes together:
🥁 The Drum Sampler Engine
I pushed the Drum Sampler engine to its limits for this release. It now houses:
• 31 Drum Presets
• 34 Chord Presets
• 1 Multisampled Bell Preset
• 18 Multisampled Key Presets
Drums with Movement & Grit
I pulled from my personal collection of favorite drum breaks and grooves, chopped them by hand, and brought many of them to life using the OP-1 Field’s built-in effects. You’ll hear saturation, tape motion, space, and texture baked right into the kits—perfect for lo-fi, downtempo, and electronic production.
Chords, Reimagined
These chords were designed to breathe. By stretching and reshaping them inside the Drum Sampler, each voicing carries a slow, drifting movement that gives your progressions weight, emotion, and atmosphere.
Workflow Ready
Each kit is designed so you can move between scenes without losing harmonic cohesion—perfect for live performance, beat-making, and fast sketching.
🎹 The Synth Sampler Engine
For your melodic and atmospheric layers, the Synth Sampler houses a massive palette of sounds designed to move between ambient, lo-fi, and electronic music with ease:
• Atmospheres & Textures
• Keys & Pads
• Bass & Plucks
• Multisampled Strings, Bells & Percussion
These sounds are built for instant emotion—whether you’re scoring, sound designing, building beats, or finishing full tracks.

✨ Exclusive Bonus
Included in the pack (but not shown in the release video) are three custom Rings engine presets. These add extra tonal variety and physical modeling resonance to round out the sound design in a really special way.
