|
||
|
||
Synthesized instrument and drum presets for the **Teenage Engineering OP-XY** and **OP-1**,
|
||
generated from [PyTheory](https://github.com/kennethreitz/pytheory)'s synthesis engine.
|
||
|
||
Every sound is rendered from scratch — no samples were harmed in the making of this repo.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Getting the Presets ⬇️
|
||
|
||
1. Click this link: [**Download ZIP**](https://github.com/kennethreitz/pytheory-opxy/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) (~200 MB)
|
||
2. Your browser will download a file called `pytheory-opxy-main.zip`
|
||
3. Double-click the zip file to unzip it (on Mac it will unzip automatically)
|
||
4. You'll see a folder called `pytheory-opxy-main` — that's everything
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Installing on Your OP-XY
|
||
|
||
You'll need [**Field Kit**](https://teenage.engineering/apps/field-kit), a free app from Teenage Engineering for managing presets on your OP-XY.
|
||
|
||
1. Download and open **Field Kit** on your Mac
|
||
2. Plug your OP-XY into your Mac with a USB-C cable
|
||
3. Your OP-XY will show up in Field Kit — click on it
|
||
4. Open the **presets** folder on your device
|
||
5. From the `pytheory-opxy-main` folder you downloaded, drag these into the presets folder:
|
||
- `opxy-samples/pytheory/` — all 83 instruments
|
||
- `opxy-samples/pytheory-drums/` — all 12 drum kits
|
||
6. Done! The presets will show up on your OP-XY right away
|
||
|
||
## Installing on Your OP-1 / OP-1 Field
|
||
|
||
1. Plug your OP-1 into your computer with a USB cable
|
||
2. On the OP-1, go to **TE > USB Disk** to enter disk mode
|
||
3. Your OP-1 will show up as a drive on your computer (like a USB stick)
|
||
4. Open the `synth` > `user` folder on the OP-1 drive
|
||
5. From the `pytheory-opxy-main` folder you downloaded, open `op1-samples/pytheory/`
|
||
6. Copy all the `.wav` files into the OP-1's `synth/user/` folder
|
||
7. Eject the OP-1 drive and exit disk mode
|
||
8. Load the samples using the **Sampler** synth engine on the OP-1

## For Developers
|
||
|
||
Want to regenerate the samples yourself or tweak the presets?
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
uv sync # install dependencies
|
||
uv run python generate.py # all instruments
|
||
uv run python generate.py piano sitar # just specific ones
|
||
uv run python generate.py --patch # update patch.json only (no audio regen)
|
||
uv run python generate_drums.py # all drum kits
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
See [opxy-preset-notes.md](opxy-preset-notes.md) for detailed documentation on the OP-XY preset format — what we learned about loop behavior, region fields, envelope settings, and more.
