A Groundbreaking FM Synth Engine

With its flexible wave shaping, dual-mode filter path with 23 different filter types, six envelopes with tempo-synced looping, two LFOs, and two ramps, the OPx-4 will become your go-to FM synth. It includes three insert FX and two global FX for use with 27 included AIR effect plugins, such as reverb, delay, distortion, modulation effects, and more.

Leave Your Sound Design Ph.D. at the Door. OPx-4 Makes FM Synthesis Easy.

FM synthesis works by taking classic oscillator waveforms and modulating them until they sound like something brand new. If you've ever experimented with FM synthesis, you know it can be complicated to understand how to make great sounds. OPx-4's simple layout and easy controls make it a breeze to experiment with FM functions without needing a deep understanding of how it works behind the scenes. An easy-to-understand control scheme makes experimenting as easy as turning knobs until it sounds great!

Four Operators, Two Filters, Thirty-Two Mod Sources, ONE Great Sound

Using four FM operators and an FM operator matrix, you can craft almost any FM sound you've ever heard—or even those you haven't heard of yet! You can adjust the values of each operator using specific on-screen controls for pulse width, formant, FM filtering, and FM shaping, as well as specific ADSR and FM oscillator envelope controls.

Built-In Effects Engine to Stylize your sounds

OPx-4 includes multiple effects like EQ, amp sims, reverb, delay, and modulation. Create brilliant shimmers, dark haunting echoes, or spacey washed-out DX-style electric pianos with a cutting-edge effects engine built right into the instrument.

Hands-on Control and Massive Modulations with Q-LINKs

When using OPx-4, you can assign any parameter to one of 8 macro-controlled knobs. OPx-4's parameters are laid out to make full use of standalone MPC's vivid touchscreen, and use MPC's Q-LINK mapping to put the most valuable instrument controls at your fingertips! Sweep filters on the fly, adjust operators with a turn, and pump up the volume on OPx-4 with your Q-LINKS! The touch UI on MPC gives you instant feedback, and straightforward touch controls get you deep into sound design territory.

Includes VST/AU/AAX formats FREE for your DAW!

Bring the power of your MPC plugins to Logic, Ableton Live - or any VST/AU/AXX compatible host. Purchase an MPC plugin and you'll get the VST/AU/AAX versions free of charge so you can fire them up in your hardware AND your favorite DAW.

QLINK Mapped Controls for Easy Sound Editing

Mini D's parameters are laid out to make full use of the vivid touchscreen, and use Q-LINK mapping to put the most valuable instrument controls at your fingertips. Swap distortion models with a twist, change the effects balance with a turn, and find the tone you're looking for with your Q-LINKS! The interface also gives you instant feedback, and straightforward touch controls get you deep into sound design territory.
