Today is a sad day.

OP-1
#1

So .

I’ve been working on this amazing (in my opinion) composition for about 3 weeks now. Every day for about half an hour or so.
And today I went into disk and to storage to export it onto my macbook. To show you guys actually. and I accidently switched off as i lifted it to plug it in. Restarted and it recreated all my tracks and disk a and b.
I cri.
Lesson learned and a warning to all of you.

I did that once, then built this so I could easily sync after each session.

Ok so if you turn off when in disk mode it wipes the internal tracks?? Did not know this!


I always plug the OP1 into USB, then go into COM mode and start DISK Mode.

Oh yes, how sad is the day when you loose your work… I hope you manage to recover some of your ideas !

I’m really, really, really sorry to hear about you losing your work. I feel it… It might be of some small consolation to consider the infinite spring of creative ideas that we continue to have access to. That being said, I mourn with you.

So switching it off while in disk mode, while plugged in erases the tape? Or does it sometimes happen?

I will try to test this after a backup… Would be good to know if it was an anomaly. Got some new beats?
