How do I manage multiple tapes?
OP-1 Fieldtutorialguide
The OP-1 Field can hold up to 8 tapes in memory, each with 4 stereo tracks and 6 minutes of recording time per track. You can switch between them instantly using the tape browser.
Accessing the tape browser
Press tape to enter tape mode, then press shift + T1 to open the tape browser.
What you can do in the browser
From the tape browser you can:
- Load an existing tape
- Create a new tape
- Erase or delete a tape
- Rename a tape
- Change the tape style
Tape styles
Each tape has a different character based on real recording formats:
- Studio 4-track, 15 inches per second, best sound quality
- Vintage 4-track, 7.5 inches per second, classic studio character
- Porta 4-track, 3.75 inches per second, compact cassette feel
- Disc mini, magneto-optical format with psychoacoustic compression
A note on saving
You don't need to manually save anything. The OP-1 Field stores data automatically, so your tapes are preserved exactly as you left them every time you power on.
