How do I change tempo and sync?
OP-1tutorialguide
Press the Tempo key (metronome icon, top left) to access tempo and sync settings.
The blue encoder sets BPM. For fine-tuning, use SHIFT + blue encoder. You can also tap the Tempo key repeatedly to set tempo by tapping the beat you want.
Sync Modes
Use the green encoder to select sync mode:
- Free: Tempo and tape speed are independent. No sync data sent or received.
- Beat Match: OP-1 acts as master and sends MIDI sync. Tempo is linked to tape speed.
- Sync: OP-1 listens to external MIDI clock via USB. Use arrow keys to nudge tempo slightly.
- PO Sync: Syncs Pocket Operators. Left channel outputs click track, right channel outputs audio.
- 1/16 Sync: Press SHIFT + green encoder while in PO mode for double-tempo sync, useful for eurorack devices.
Metronome
The orange encoder controls metronome pitch. Turn it fully down to disable the metronome click.
