OB-4 + OR-1 functionality depends on the OR-1 firmware version. newer versions can control volume, track control and tape, previous versions can only do volume and track control.
there is currently no user-friendly way to update the OR-1.

@JohnnyEgo : it’s not possible to send pm to you for some reason, it says “This user’s public profile is hidden.”.
a bit sketchy but really straight forward on IOS tho.
will try it with the ob 4
Ok. wow! the OR-1 can control the time stretching algo with a really fine control sheme.
are you people all referring to the actual -/+ tricks which are achieved with the volume pot or is there still a way to grab the TAPE labeled dial?

if you or others are still interested in updating your OR-1 to control the forward/rewind time stretch algo remotely, it’s quiet easy and I’ve been able to do so on iOS in a few minutes.

and I’ve noticed that it now shows a progress bar when rewinding or forwarding which is updating even if you leave the button while it’s rewinding

I tried to update my remote a couple of years ago and it was a disaster on my laptop. Would love to easily update it
with instructions from @jacobs

this worked flawlessly on iOS in a few minutes, just follow the instructions

to obtain the functionality when connected to the ob-4 is to press and hold the OR-1 (display shows speed)
this then gives control over the time stretch / disk rewinding automation.
if you’ve stored some loops the OR-1 will “reset” the loops when pressed down and controls the tape features as before.
the reset is great for manually syncing the loops to something else 
you may discover more things

@modulpaule I dont have the instructions. Not sure why @JohnnyEgo is being so secretive but that’s his/her choice I guess.

The problem is that there does not seem to be a way to PM you - clicking on your forum name gives: This user’s public profile is hidden.
Is there some other way of initiating a PM without having access to your profile?
check your pms
