Not sure if it is the general hardware limitation or unique to mine - I got my OP-1 a little over a week ago and found the frame rate starts slowing down to below 30fps (estimate) when:
- Using the string synth (with the green parameter turned up with looser strings)
- Using the cluster synth (with the blue parameter turned up)
- Recording when there are already tracks in the tape
- Cutting/pasting tracks (sometimes)
Is this just to be expected? It’s not particularly bothering, just something I noticed
Yes, I’m afraid this is in line with other reports on the forum.
No, definitely not to be expected, what were TE thinking? surely not one of A: graphics are important and so is fps, or B: graphics aren’t important so should make way for functional interfaces.
But in the end - nevermind unless it glitches, there isn’t a better OP1 or something…
I experience the same issue having several tracks on tape and using DSYNTH real time. Or sometimes in cases when G is set as the modulation source. The tape gets sluggish as the FPS is dropped significantly.
I know what you mean. However the OP-1 is designed to look beautiful, but what it’s supposed to do is create sound. I think it’s cool that they gave more power to sound synthesis etc than graphics. It’s a limited processor so they need to make compromises. I’d rather have good sound and shit GFX than the other way round. As a software developer I approve.
