In this video I demonstrate creating a generative, or self-playing patch on the OPx-4 synth. OPx-4 an FM matrix synthesizer that runs on the Akai Force and MPC standalone standalone music production systems. While generative patches are more typically associated with modular synths, OPx-4's modulation matrix and looping envelopes provide the tools to make a patch like this on the Force and MPC.
We begin with a fully initialized patch and build it into a patch that generates interesting sounds without anyone playing the synth.
This video is part of a playlist about OPx-4 Sound Design.

My Patrons get access to my asset library, which contains bonus materials. For this video, I've included this patch and project file, plus another generative patch for OPx-4. There's also a high quality sound sample from this patch.
Thanks as always for watching!
