How do I use the Dimension synth?

OP-1 Fieldtutorialguide

The Dimension synth engine isn't documented in the official OP-1 Field manual. The manual lists the available synth engines (Cluster, DNA, Dr. Wave, FM, Sampler, String, Vocoder, and DSynth) but does not include a Dimension engine or describe its parameters.

What to check

It's possible Dimension was added in a firmware update after this manual was written. Here's how to explore it yourself:

  1. 1.Press the synth key to enter synth mode.
  2. 2.Press shift + T1 to open the synthesis browser.
  3. 3.Rotate the blue encoder to scroll through available engines and find Dimension.
  4. 4.Press T1 or tap the blue encoder to confirm your selection.
  5. 5.Press help on any screen to see a quick overlay explaining the current controls.
  6. 6.Press and hold shift, then press help to open the built-in user guide, which may have updated information on newer engines.

Finding parameter info

Once loaded, the four color-coded encoders always correspond to the parameters shown on screen. Turning each one will change the labeled value. Pressing T1 through T4 cycles through the engine, envelope, FX, and LFO modules for that sound.
