Should be plug-and-play. You connect Op-1 Field, the system installs drivers for the USB, then it becomes visible as a device in Audacity, OBS and so on.

Yes, the usb audio on OP1 and OP1F works both ways, it is discussed in https://op-forums.com/t/op-1-field-audio-over-usb-c-what-works

Sequencer improvements:
Endless:
- Option to save multiple sequences (at least as with Finger seq)
- After saving the sequence, enable its listing on the display with the possibility of retroactive adjustments in this listing
Finger:
- While editing the sequence, zoom the grid and view the information in greater detail
- Ability to extend a note over multiple steps (as with Endless)
Pattern:
- Extension to 32/64 steps
- Possibility to save more sequences
New melodic sequencer ala Ableton Push - 8x8 grid with recorded notes displayed (F2, C3, etc.).

Speaking of sequencers, I really feel etch-a-sketch should have a “record” mode that captures both key presses and slides via bend keys.

Hi,
Thanks a lot, that is a great tip that helps me a lot in my arranging process - it’s much more easier now

Still new to OP-1F, but I’d love it if there were better ‘live’ looping functionality. As in the ability to seamlessly build loops and switch between multiple patterns and song parts. At this price point I think it should be able to do everything the KOII does and better. For instance, would a simple undo command, (like on the KOII) kill anyone FFS? Why the hoops to jump through? On the KOII it’s easy to switch between patterns. Essentially, a $300 machine shouldn’t be able to outperform its 2K big brother.

I’d like “hold shift, while endless is playing in hold mode, to add notes to the endless pattern”

“sync start for album and tape” so you can record back from album into tape on grid.

“expose all synth parameters, master effects parameters, and tape controls for incoming midi note and cc control of them”

I would love to have the option to create longer tracks by splitting the total recording time of the device (48 minutes - 8 tracks of 6 minutes each) in a custom way. For example, creating 1 track with 12 minutes and still having 36 minutes in total for creating another 7 tracks.
The device is so powerful for creating experimental and ambient tracks, and with the 6 minute limitation per track I don’t have enough time to develop musical ideas.

I’m glad that TE listened to some of my requests and made it so you can have the input with its own FX using the vocoder, in addition to adding the terminal FX. 
TE for listening. That’s why I can’t get enough of you guys.

I’m hoping this is an easter egg and they are going to add functionality to combine reels as busses…

also is the load button different?

my guess is you can load or eject reels, and it will playback all loaded. and it’s 12 minutes? and it’s a different type?

I was looking forward to this image too, but it actually seems like an old UI.
There is also an image on the OP-1 field page that uses the eject symbol.
We’ll see! Not sure I believe it was a mistake. Likely the roadmap for future updates was laid out well before the field series was released. If it was the same image as on the site maybe, but there’s a lot of differences and the reel names don’t make much sense if they aren’t busses. Maybe I’m just a dreamer though - it would be a game changer. You could also extend the functionality to the tx-6 pretty gracefully…

it would be super handy to have some sort of shortcut in the tape manager screen for previewing the tape without having to load it. In my use case, this’d save a lot of time, since sometimes I don’t remember what is inside a certain tape, and I rarely name them.
I think the “I want FX on Input” could be solved by an “External Instrument” type of patch. Then two LFO’s (instead of an Envelope and an LFO) for CC’s and the FX slot. Page 1 could maybe be a place to assign CC’s to each Knob.
Then you don’t have to have the silly sampled silence to use the sequencers, etc…
This is how M8 solved it, and I think it’s a nice addition to the M8 and would be for the OP1 Field as well.
I really don’t foresee any big features coming to the device, so I think it’s a pipe dream, but this is what I would want the most…that and for god sake, just add a tiny cross fade between clips on the tape.

I want to be able to select the op1f mic as input even when I have plugged in earbuds with a headset mic.
I want attack and decay on drum sampler instead of the dynamics thing that I swear nobody uses!
