that is rough! i wonder if there’s any chance for a version of the app that supports older macs? if not, they should expose the folders to disk mode.

It’s totally crap I expected it to be a standalone device like it predecessor yet I need a modern ish computer to export files … I didn’t want to have to get a new MacBook as well … more than pissed off :triumph: also I’m getting static whilst using the usb to clock external modular stuff via a Kendal interface that worked totally fine with the OG 1 … at least now you can record things live without clicks and pops … it’s 80% better 20% worse in my opinion… keys feel cheaper than the original… still my favourite way to record sadly :man_facepalming:

Hopefully some of this gets addressed. A basic usb disk mode for album export would be really nice to have! I have a brand new Mac but I want to go usb-c into my usb-c iPad - nope I’m sure it won’t see the album Mixdown side files because of MTP. :frowning:

In the SHIFT+COM menu, when you press shift+T4, it activates the regular USB transfer mode. MTP is better, but if you need the storage-device option, it’s still there.

How old is your Mac?

Android File Transfer could be an option instead of the field-kit app.

Album & Tape not showing up on Windows 10 Computer in Disk Mode on OP-1 Field

When you do that the side a b recording is not there it’s just user synth and drum sounds

Beyond the scope of this forum, but I have an early 2009 iMac, a 2012 Mac mini and a 2012 MacBook Pro all running Monterey - via OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It’s a later that sits between your machine and an unmodified version of macOS and lets you run newer software. This would be an option, you could even run it on an external usb ssd if you wanted to stay on old software for your main OS.

Hey… work around for you!

Switch to a new tape. Record from ear while playing album.

Track1 will then be a stereo recording of the album, and you can access separate tracks in USB storage mode.

I’m going to factory reset the Mac and try to find a OS version 11.0 or newer … I hope this is possible… might take it to a Apple Center :man_facepalming:

#17

Please report it to TE support!

#18

Unfortunately no, without MTP you can only access the synth and drum folders on the mac when in disk mode

#19

Ahh, ok.

Just for reference, my mac is from 2018. It’s not in front of me at the moment but when I try to download the MTP client I get an error message saying I have to update to the latest OS. I don’t want to update because it will break all my programs that I usually run.

#22

I fortunately have 8 tapes now so maybe this will force me to finish tracks :blush: but it is a bit of issue moving forward and I’m sure not just for me … if the OG1 hadn’t been so shit at handling live recordings of external stuff I would of stuck to that … I’m really happy so for with the Field except for this file transfer crap :poop:

I have reported two issues.

  1. I’m getting static from connecting usb to midi via a Kenton MK3 to trigger my modular clock… this didn’t occur using the old OP1…

  2. This issue of transferring files.

They haven’t replied to either :thinking:

Hi guys,

Android File Transfer as suggested above works just fine if you are running an older Mac. Great suggestion, @jko
