Hope everyone’s doing well and is enjoying making some music/sounds!
I just got an OB-4 and I’m having some issues with some of the “magic functions” when trying to change the speed.
When I press down the input button, “speed” lights up and turning the volume knob to the left to slow the temp down works fine. However, if I try to turn it to the right to speed it up, nothing happens. I first have to turn it left a bit (slowed it down to 0.9) and then turning it back to the right the speed only then increases. But it still seems to “lag” a bit. I feel like as soon as I surpass 1.4x I get “kicked out” of the speed function even though I don’t release the input button. Also the speed goes back to 1.0 after like 2 seconds…
Weirdly when I first turned the OB-4 on it seemed to work fine…
You may be running out of tape/ catching up to real time, so it can’t speed up any more.
To update, download he orthoplay app and connect your OB-4 and then from he main screen your unit will appear at the bottom and have a little text bubble on it saying update available, you tap that then it tells you to press play on your OB-4, do that and let it do it’s thing.
Correct. It is magic, but not magic enough to time travel lol. You can let it record for a while then hold input to enable tape speed and turn the volume knob far left to let it rewind a while back and then go from there but otherwise that’s it, unless you make a loop I think.
