If I were to turn off the op-1 and turn it back on, would it resume directly where I left off? Like where I was in the tape, the loop points, and most importantly the last state of the sequencer?
I have an opportunity to purchase a friend’s op-1, and while I’ve dabbled with it a couple of times and generally know how to use it, I wasn’t able to test this. And I know some days I would have only moments of free time to use it, which is why I ask. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Hey there,
Simple YES, the OP saves the state it‘s in when turned off.
It is not a “Simple yes”, more of a complicated “no but…” Looking at the list a lot is saved but the state is not. Specifically where you are in the tape is not saved. Also, any unsaved changes to voicing, I feel like sequencer changes are automatically saved. It’s intuitive and works within the workflow of the machine and you rarely lose work accidentally and a lot of state type stuff is automatically saved but not all of it.
It doesn’t save the exact point of playback on the tape or in sequencers. Loop points are saved.
It also does not save the state of mod wheel/bender LFOs, which does bother me, since I often (ab)use mod wheel for sound shaping.
Most other things are saved, and in general it “just works”.
