Studio Field – A macOS companion app for the OP-1 field

Hi everyone,

I’m an independent developer and a big OP-1 field fan.

Over the past several months I’ve been building Studio Field, a native macOS companion app designed to make managing the OP-1 field much easier while keeping the workflow simple and familiar.

The project started because I felt there wasn’t really a desktop companion focused on safely managing the device and its content. My goal was to create something that lets you organize tapes, synth patches, drum kits and backups in one place without getting in the way of the creative process.

Some of the current features include:

  • One-click full device backup

  • Restore backups to the OP-1 field

  • iCloud backup support

  • Browse and organize tapes

  • Manage synth patches

  • Manage drum kits

  • Import sound packs

  • Built-in tape player

  • Local library

The app is now available on the Mac App Store, and the response from early users has honestly been amazing. The feedback and feature suggestions from the community have already shaped several updates.

I’m also actively working on OP-XY support, and after that I’d like to expand support to more Teenage Engineering devices over time.

I’ve attached a short video showing some of the app in action.

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. If there’s anything you’ve always wished a desktop companion could do for the OP-1 field (or OP-XY), I’d really appreciate your ideas.

Thanks!

I’m sold! I’ve used this app a few times on MacOS and iPad. I’m excited for the help managing my OP-1 field tape backups. And it looks good, too! I was thrilled to find a drum sequencer and synth engine built into the mobile app! Keep up the good work.
