The Covert Operators: The Operator Sandbox
The Covert Operators: The Operator Sandbox
The Covert Operators present a powerful new music production package for the popular "Operator" synthesizer in Ableton Live: "The Operator Sandbox." This sizable live pack is the culmination of three FM-obsessed sound designers working to create something that goes way beyond a sample library.
On the surface:
The Operator Sandbox is a massive music production and sound design toolkit. It contains a variety of Operator-based sounds and patterns generally suitable for Techno/House, but with very little effort they can suit any genre.
Behind the scenes:
All of the Operator patches, effects chains, note patterns, and modulation envelopes are delivered in the flexible Live Clip format. As a result, these clips can have their sequences and device parameters changed, further automated, and abused to suit your creative needs!
Here's a short rundown of what you'll get with this package:
- 49 Operator instruments, carefully built to provide tons of flexibility and inspiration.
- 300 meticulously crafted Live Clips which can be customized down to the last detail.
- The ability to add more oscillators, effects, and a host of other sound-generating parameters for maximum flexibility thanks to the Live Clip format.
- A huge set of fully editable modulation envelopes and all macro knobs mapped and color-coded for clear and inspiring visual feedback.
- The opportunity to reverse-engineer every aspect of how the instruments were created from the ground up, providing a powerful learning tool in addition to ready-made sounds.
The bottom line is that all of this power is easy to use: Simply drag the desired Live Clip into Ableton Live and the correct device will automatically be created and ready to modify and/or use!
Be sure to check out our audio demo section on our site for a small sampling of this huge collection.

Nice one man, thanks for the support. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together
Re: The Covert Operators: The Operator Sandbox
I think this is the perfect time to introduce Operator N - Aka Nick the Zombie aka @Abletontutor - to the Covert Ops team!
We love this guy, and he's a madman with Operator - which is just what we need at Covops: More crazies
Much love, and thanks for your support. There's going to be a ton of Covert Ops madness this year, people!

Re: The Covert Operators: The Operator Sandbox
I may very well do this in the future, but sound design is my heavy focus in the foreseeable future. Next up is Sound Design with Analog, but who knows after that!nuxnamon wrote:do you have any plans on releasing any new videos on your site besides sound design?

FYI we've recorded a little series of tutorials showing some of the tricks you can do with the Operator Sandbox - they're in final editing right now and should be done some time in the beginning of next week!
Thanks for the support, people! We really need it!
