How do I overdub on tape?

The OP-1 tape will automatically overdub when you record over a track that already has material on it. There is no separate overdub mode to enable.

How overdubbing works

If you record to a tape track that already contains audio, the new recording is layered on top of the existing material. This is the default behavior.

To avoid accidental overdubbing

If you want to record on a track without overdubbing the existing content, you need to lift the existing take out of the way first. Press the lift key while the take is selected to remove it from the tape before recording.

To bounce all tracks together

If you want to combine all four tracks into a single stereo recording, use the album function. Press shift + album to enter COM mode, then return to OP-1 mode and use the album recorder to capture your full mix with any EQ, effects, or tape tricks applied.
