Colors In Space soundpacks

Information on all the upcoming Colors In Space soundpacks and promotions will be shared below …

Hey all. Here is a free one for the op-1f

This free sound pack is a heartfelt collection of textures crafted entirely on the OP-1 Field—designed to inspire deep, expressive, and cinematic compositions.

Included are:

• 15 original vocal pad sounds, created from scratch and processed into lush, atmospheric tones. These sounds carry a haunting, human warmth—perfect for ambient layers, introspective beats, or emotional soundscapes.

• 15 synth presets, built using only the OP-1 Field’s internal engines, sculpted with care to highlight the machine’s unique character and versatility.

• 10 hybrid presets that blend both worlds: vocal textures layered over OP-1 Field synth sounds to create rich, evolving timbres that feel alive and emotionally resonant.

Whether you’re scoring a short film, building ambient loops, or just exploring new sonic terrain, Voices in the Synth is a free gift to spark your creativity and show what’s possible with the OP-1 Field alone.

As promised here is our first free update for the Ambient Construction Kit. This first update of 6 includes 50 new multi-sample presets.

Ambient Construction Kit
151 presets for the Teenage Engineering OP-XY
by Colors in Space

An expansive toolkit built for ambient music makers, sound designers, and cinematic explorers. Ambient Construction Kit includes 151 carefully crafted presets—from lush multi-sampled pads to raw tape textures, delicate chimes layered with nature, and expressive foley instruments. Whether you’re sculpting vast soundscapes or intimate moments, this pack gives you the building blocks to shape your own sonic world.

What’s Inside:
• 25 Ambient Pad Presets – Warm, evolving, multi-sampled pads
• 25 Composite Presets – Plucked, layered synths and textured tones
• 10 Digitone 2 Presets – Multi-sampled selections from the Elektron Digitone 2
• 6 Crystal Presets – Shimmering, glassy textures
• 16 Tape Presets – Lo-fi, degraded sampler instruments with character
• 9 Texture Presets – Granular and organic tones
• 18 Chimes + Nature Presets – Bell tones, wind chimes, and field recordings
• 35 Foley Presets – Inside you’ll find 35 sampler presets built from natural recordings—water, wind, leaves, footsteps, distant animals, and environmental textures. These sounds bring an organic, immersive quality to ambient compositions, helping you create atmosphere and depth with real-world tone.
• Miscellaneous – Multi-sampled felt piano, cello, post-rock guitar, granular keys, and more

Breakdown:
• 82 Multi-sampled Presets
• 69 Sampler-based Presets
• 9 folders of deeply curated sound content

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.

Just released this Moog Multi-Samplepack for the OP-XY.

The Rings Redux pack has some beautiful sounds in there, but for future versions, would it be possible to record the samples without reverb or delay? I’d much prefer to be able to add my own—especially delay.

Pad Creator — A Layered Pad Toolkit for the OP–XY

By Colors In Space

Released: July 8, 2025

Welcome to Pad Creator — a deep, multi-part sound pack for the OP–XY, built for lush, evolving pads and textured ambient tones.

Crafted entirely with the OP–XY’s internal synth engines, this pack gives you a powerful toolkit for instant inspiration, modular layering, and lo-fi nostalgia. Whether you want performance-ready patches or a launchpad for your own sound design, Pad Creator gives you everything you need to explore warm atmospheres, drifting chords, and shimmering soundscapes.

:small_blue_diamond: PART 1 — 50 Layered Pad Projects

These are the full, ready-to-go projects — each one built with 3 layered synth presets across separate tracks.

• Made entirely with OP–XY’s internal engines (no samples)

• Each project offers a unique sonic flavor — from warm and mellow to hazy and cinematic

• Great for jamming, performing, or jumping straight into ambient sessions

:small_blue_diamond: PART 2 — 149 Individual Presets (Pd 1a–50c)*

All of the layered sounds from Part 1 are also saved as individual presets. Use them to:

• Build your own layered pad stacks from scratch

• Combine presets in new ways

• Explore over 550,000 possible combinations by selecting any 3 of the included layers

This modular approach makes Pad Creator more than just a preset pack — it’s a toolkit for generative ambient creation.

:small_blue_diamond: PART 3 — 50 Sampled Pads with Lo-fi Character

Each of the 50 projects has also been sampled from the main output, capturing the full 3-layered sound as a single, playable file.

These samples are enhanced with filtering and LFOs to create a subtle Boards of Canada–inspired lo-fi vibe — pitch drift, warble, and soft saturation baked right in.

• Perfect for quick performance or sample-based workflows

• Adds a nostalgic, dusty flavor to your pad palette

• Mapped and ready for use in the OP–XY’s sampler

:white_check_mark: What’s Included

• 50 OP–XY project files (with 3-layer synth presets)

• 149 individual preset files (Pd 1a–50c)*

• 50 stereo samples of each full pad (pre-processed and mapped)

  • One of the individual presets accidentally went missing during export — 149 are included instead of 150. The original sound is still present in the corresponding project file.

If you love ambient, lo-fi, cinematic, or nostalgic synth textures, Pad Creator gives you a rich set of tools to explore, tweak, and perform with — all inside the OP–XY.

To install Pad Creator on your OP–XY:

  1. Place the Projects folder into your projects directory

  2. Place the Pad Samples and Pd Synths folders into your presets directory

This will ensure the 50 projects, 149 individual synth presets, and 50 sampled pad presets all appear in the correct places inside your OP–XY.

Hey friends,

I just released a brand-new sound pack that blends the drifting ambience of Brian Eno with the cinematic weight of Vangelis—and throws in a bit of Aphex Twin weirdness for good measure.

This one is special to me. These artists shaped the way I think about sound, space, and emotion in music. I tried to channel that into a collection of presets that feel like lost machines from the ’90s—grainy, dreamy, and alive with texture.

The OP–XY version features multi-sampled patches and comes with over 120 presets: pads, leads, keys, strings, and more. It’s $20, and it includes the OP–1 Field version for free.

The OP–1 Field version is a streamlined take with 120 presets, created from single-sample versions of the same sounds. It’s available on its own for $10.

There are also 7 demo tracks, some with nods to Brian Eno and Aphex Twin, and a full video walkthrough of the sounds if you’d like to hear them in action.

Thanks again for all your support—your messages and feedback keep this whole thing going.

Warmly,
John (Colors in Space)

One more day of this sale going on…:heart_eyes:

Hey all…
Heya,

I’m giving away a free ambient looper patch for VCV Rack — something I use with my OP-1 Field and OP-Z/XY setups. It’s great for layering textures, bouncing loops, and experimenting with Frippertronics-style feedback.

Stick around to the end of the video to see all the hidden features. If you’re going to mess with them, make sure to save your patch first.
VCV Rack is free for Mac/PC and all modules I made to build it are also free…

Here is a short little tutorial as well…

Hopefully releasing this later today! Next my plan is to make a multisample for the OP-XY with all 86 presets… IF you’re into BOC you’ll probably dig these…

I’m excited to share my very first Tonverk sound pack — and this one’s completely free.

Inside you’ll get:

9 Rings Presets — ready-to-load patches inspired by the lush, resonant textures of Mutable Instruments Rings.

Hello all!
My first soundpack for the Tonverk is now live!

171 presets total — 89 multisamples and 82 single-sample pads.

The multisamples include atmospheres, bass, FX, keys, leads, pads, plucks, and synths — crafted for warmth, texture, and depth.

The single-sample presets are mostly pads — soft, drifting tones that move slightly on their own.

You’ll hear subtle shifts and natural rhythm — not programmed, just how the samples behave.

They layer beautifully with the multisamples, creating a full, evolving sound palette.

In the video:

I’ve added time stamps for each sound group, so you can jump to atmospheres, keys, pads, or single-sample sections easily.

The single-sample pads start around the 26-minute mark.

Designed for ambient, lofi, and cinematic production — Mirage delivers deep tones, smooth motion, and lush evolving textures for your Tonverk.

:cd: Price: $20

:headphones: Includes:

• 89 Multisample Instruments

• 82 Single-Sample Pads

• Instant download, ready to load into your Tonverk

If you love ambient tones, layered movement, and evolving pads — Mirage is for you.

Enjoy the sounds.

Hello Friends,

I’m excited to share my two latest sound packs for the Elektron Tonverk:

:musical_keyboard: Infinite Tape (Mellotron Sound-Pack)

A collection of 66 Lo-Fi Mellotron presets and 71 multi-sampled instruments, created with Logic Pro’s Auto Sampler and the Penrose looping process. These loops are seamless and endless, capturing the nostalgic warmth of tape and the classic Mellotron character. Perfect for ambient music, Boards of Canada–style textures, or soundscapes…

:control_knobs: Obscura 60 (Moog Sound-Pack)

A collection of 60 Moog presets and 68 multi-sampled instruments, carefully crafted after importing the Moog sounds into Logic’s Auto Sampler. Each preset is shaped to maximize warmth, movement, and expressive playability. Perfect for ambient textures, evolving synth beds, or cinematic sound design.

Thanks for making a free one! I can find the multisamples, but I’m having trouble finding the single player presets… I loaded them in into the TV under User > Presets, but on the TV when I go to File > Presets > Load, I cant find them! Sorry I don’t have much of a clue about what I’m doing here, but could you please help me find them?
