Magic words "OP-1 style". @pablo_snz Is it available yet? If not, it's a day-one purchase for me, lol.
EDIT - Nevermind, I saw it's available for a fiver. Instabuy.
It’s quite good! A few improvements could certainly be made and I hope the dev keeps at it!
Does do landscape as an AUV3, at least on iPad. It’s annoying that you can’t export from the AUV3 (you can in standalone)..
Kind of feels almost-finished.
I wasn’t able to move tape pieces around, which is advertised in the manual. Reached out to the dev and hope to hear back. Yes, I was able to do landscape in AUv3 as well. In standalone on iPad it was portrait only.
Yes, +1 for landscape mode on iPad. On iPhone, portrait mode definitely makes more sense. ☺️ Maybe also on an iPad Mini it makes sense, but on a huge 13" iPad Air? Not so much, lol.
Press the piece of tape you want to move, you’ll find a button “lift” with an upwards arrow at the bottom of the screen, move forwards or backwards along the timeline by sliding, then “drop” the piece of tape where you want it.
@hgonh welp I’m (almost positive) yesterday I read in the manual about a drag to move or extend function. But it’s very clearly not there today and says so explicitly

Great update 👍
Not available in the eu
What about this one?
https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/reel-4-track-recorder/id6760545075
Might this be a UI-semantics point?
From the attached info it seems like the way to move parts is by setting playhead to desired (new) position then “dropping” (placing) part there.
ie: more like a copy-paste than a visual drag-to-move(?)
@Proppa I'm assuming this was just a wishful thinking moment on my part as I read. looking back I don't know what I could have read that would have made me think you could drag and extend tape clips.
The edit makes some serious improvements. Haven't spent much time with this still but it really captures the charm of the OP1 tape workflow.
Having done some testing Moving clips is very fluid - not typical dragging but works great. I’m not sure about extending clips. Is it possible that was another app? It seems like there’s been a bunch of Tape apps releasing back to back.
Any one experience with this?
It looks very nice.

I haven’t tried it, but if you’re on Reddit it has its own subreddit at r/ReelApp moderated by the dev u/Earthchildxy
I think the search for iPhone OP-1 alternatives will soon be concluded! Upcoming updates being tested (via Reddit)
Helo!! im looking for people who want to try the new version of TapeDesk that @hghon already shared! i've spent a lot of time developing these new features based on my own workflow and i would like to receive some feedback about whether you consider the app good enough or you miss something..
PS: sorry for not being that much present here, a lot of people already encouraged me to write more here so i will try to be more active
Glad you’re here Pablo! I think you’re on to something with this app.
Supporting this dev, great looking app!
Given the layout I'm not sure why the waveform is hidden.
I joined the hype and supported this app. It is a nice smooth very enjoyable experience. Not sure if this is the reason why many love OP-1.
However, everything is in audio and projects take up storage way way faster than MIDI. It makes more sense to have a hybird MIDI audio platform.
hi! not show the waveforms was already intended because i want it to have the OP-1 feeling, but some people is asking for the waveforms in the trakcs, so maybe i'll add it as an optional toggle in settings in a future release
Thanks!!! really appreciated
i'll check if there's something i can do to optimice storage usage. Currently is a little bit difficult to make tracks works as a tape recorder or a sequencer given the DSP architecture , but i will at least give it some thought.
Seems like you've already stepped beyond the OP-1 by having a track based view, but thanks for the news. I'll definitely use the waveform view.
+1 for waveform view
ok, waveform noted!
I'm totally fine with just audio as your app can be used as AU under hosts that do midi.
I actually enjoy your app standalone as I had an OP-1. So what I really meant is either lower quality recording or some compression for saved project.
