Did anyone see this coming???

For once they avoided all the pre-release hype and associated disappointmentā€¦ Well done TE! The features of itā€¦ sounds like theyā€™ve basically written down all our gripes and dreams on the forum over the years, and implemented them in the new version. Crazy. Sounds like a April Foolā€™s joke, itā€™s so good.

2kā‚¬ though. But looks awesome

guess the op-z could be nextā€¦

If the sound quality is sufficiently improved, itā€™ll be a no-brainer update for all OP-1 fans who can afford it.

Anyone know what they mean by ā€˜New Hold Sequencer?ā€™. Iā€™m guessing you will be able to pick up V1 on ebay cheap now as people sell them off.

Unfortunately, OP-1 and Fileld firmwares are not compatible. :cry:

The original sounds more organic

Looked at the manual and still canā€™t work out what the hold sequencer does.

Stereo recording!!! :metal:
New FX ā€œMotherā€: a true decent reverb, at last!!
New sound engine ā€œDimensionā€
Different tape styles

Seems pretty hifi, judging by @MichaalHellā€™s lovely album:

Thereā€™s also some kind of headset mic input support, which means that it supplies plugin power for electret mics too I suppose?

One real pain as far as ā€œtransportabilityā€ is concerned is the "original OP-1 screen visibilty outssideā€¦ Will ā€œFieldā€ do better? I see its brightness is adjustable (would have loved this on original OP-1)ā€¦ to what extend is it adjustable?
