The most powerful drum synth I've ever used // In-depth look at Opal by Fors
Taking a deep dive into the rhythm machine & drum synthesizer, Opal by Fors. This Max For Live device for Ableton Live is insanely powerful! ▶ Opal: https://opal.fors.fm/ It's been a while since I've come across a plugin that oozes with such creative potential as Opal. The interface of this device is so minimal yet each sound engine is so powerful. And the sequencer for each engine is packed with about as many features as you'd want in an in-the-box sequencer. This truly is one of the top drum synthesizer and sequencer VSTs (or Max For Live device, at least) you can get for Ableton Live. I've been looking for a long time for an in-the-box alternative to a Moog DFAM or Elektron Digitakt and I think Opal might be just the thing I needed! ▶ Subscribe: https://bit.ly/gourlie-records-youtube ▶ Free Ableton Instrument KZO-KEYS: https://www.gourlierecords.com/store/... ▶ Linktree: https://bit.ly/gourlie-records-links ▶ IG: / gourlierecords 0:00 Intro 2:06 Quick Demo 4:42 Sequencer 7:39 Modulo 10:08 Step Automation 12:53 Mod Matrix 14:14 Synth Engines 21:08 Output Routing Tip 24:16 Standalone Devices 27:18 Final Demo
