Will it boot normally?
howiya!
Yeah itâll boot normally and I can use it with no other problems
but I canât update the firmware
I was able to boot into the update screen a few months ago
I used it to factory reset a few times
Doesnât work now for some reason

Yeah when I sent the ticket I got an auto-reply along the lines of âwe are very busy with new products⌠please be patientâ
My patience is wearing thin tbh. I have an extended warranty through gear4music.ie but I need to have the fault verified. Whatsmore gear4music.ie no longer seem to sell the OP-1 and TE have jacked up the price of a new unit by âŹ500 since I bought mine
Thereâs no way gear4music.ie are going to replace it and Iâm definitely going to have a difficult time getting âŹ900 off them too
TE are really shafting me atm

Iâm sure youâll get sorted eventually bru, ballache for sure tho. I saw you facebooked em there, good idea to keep hassling them. let us know when they get back to you.
Cheers man
I shouldâve included an explanation in my previous post.
The same thing happened with me and Samplr, I was sat by a river mouth with some friends and found the sound of the lapping water beautiful so recorded it onto the iPad, then used it in a live set the next day, filtering and pitch changing as I went along. No planning involved.
Not trying to take away from your nice moment, just pointing out that thereâre other things out there that lend themselves well to this type of spontaneous creation and that theyâre friendly to makers on a tight budget.

I would probably have got distracted by a notification when I woke up the iPad, and then ended up checking this forum.

No WiFi when youâre out and about! 
But I get your point - I donât install social media apps on my iPad and only receive notifications for personal messages on my phone, wouldnât get much of anything done otherwise.

I have the exact same issue and contacted TE about a week ago. No reply from TE apart from the automated email. The shop I bought it from has told me I should send it back to them so fingers crossed it all gets sorted quickly, but itâs a pain in the arse.

Good to know. Is your OP-1 one of the new batch or older?
itâs the older batch, bought last May.
I know, I mean itâs like everybody is on Elektronauts, having lately few issues that I did not encounter in all those years of use! My tapegrid is like shifted half a bar and all loops are out of sync! And when I used tombola the inputed notes stayed in the air??? I feel like I canât have answers to all my questions with Op1, certainly not on the op forums!
I recently sent my OP-1 off to TE to be repaired (via the retailer I got it from). Just wondered if anyone had experience of how long it typically takes them to send it back?
You should have the opposite of your username.
(just a joke, I donât know :P)

That is a loooong timeâŚ
Yea Iâm with you 100%. There are a ton of synths out there, a ton of samplers, portable gear, ect, ect, ect. But for me the process is a HUGE factor. I love the process of the Op-1. It has itâs own way of working⌠of doing things⌠people gel with it or they donât. I happen to gel with it. I come up with crazy stuff on it all the time I normally wouldnât come up with.
1 of the big reasons, is I enjoy using it, when I enjoy it, Iâm inspired. It makes me want to experiment & try new things. To play & have fun brings interesting results that you feel.
& personally I like what it does to the sound when sampling. I suck ass at beat boxing⌠I just go âpppfffâŚssssâŚkkkâŚaaaâŚmmmmâ in the mic & I have a drum kit.

Has anyone here experience with recording guitar into the op-1? Iâm going to plug the output of my line 6 pod directly into the line in on the op-1? Should be fine right?
