Definitive list of OP-1(F) companion software

OP-1 field

I need a tool to create the OP-1F tape segment timecodes (tape.json) for situations when I’m copying audio from my computer over to the tape tracks, and I think I’m able to do that, but before attempting it myself, I wanted to make sure it doesn’t already exist in the world. That led me to think that it would be nice to have a list of all software that works with OP-1(F).

These are the ones I remember, off the top of my head. “Supports OP-1 only” means that to my best knowledge, OP-1F stereo patches are not supported. Please correct any mistakes in the list, and tell me if you have any additions!

Perhaps this thread could be used for discussion about the software as well. @punji, any chance of resurrecting the randomizer? I might take a stab at making an offline version of it if you’d be so kind to share the source code?

There is also LFO-buddy by Metthew Rayfield, to control midi LFO In-browser:

Definitely for OG, don’t know about the field, though.

Thanks, added to the list! I think the top post can only be edited for a while, so it would be nice if one of the admins could make it a wiki post so that everybody can edit it in the future.

Wow I wish I knew about some of these earlier! I’ll have to see which one can possibly work on iPadOS.

Is there something for the TP-7? :victory_hand:

I really wish this app worked with the OP-1F and MTP. :cry:

Bummer according to the reviews it might not even work that well with the og Op-1. AND for some reason there’s a new subscription in app purchase now, I don’t
remember that!

this creates wave slices out of your tapes to use in DAW. Huge game changer.

Thanks @ktorunk45, added to the list. I’d need the reverse of this: create tape tracks and slices based on a bunch of sample files. I already started hacking on this, hopefully it’s not too hard. At least the tape.json seems to be pretty straightforward.

@Kites: I didn’t add the iOS app to the list since based on your description it’s a bit suspect?

You know I tested it with the Op-1 Field and it kind of works. You have to mount the Op-1 f in disk mode instead of MTP and you can at least transfer patches and samples.

I didn’t even realise OP-1F supports regular disk mode as well! OK, that’s good to know. Maybe I’ll test it before I’ll add it to the list. Or: anybody know what’s the difference between the free and the subscription tiers? Is it usable without the monthly payment?

Yeah when you go into the MIDI, control, list, and MTP menu (Shift + COM) just hold down Shift and you’ll see MTP turn into Disk. (Shift + 4 to enter Disk mode).

I bought that app for my ipad years ago for around $8. Might be worth $4.99 subscription if you want to test it out and cancel it if it’s too buggy. There is a section to install and preview patches (from OP1.fun) within the app.
