    ERR, how are you liking your Teenage Engineering OP-1?

    I was bidding for one on sunday on eBay after watching loads of videos about them online saturday night. Looks like a great bit of fun for on the road.

    After I lost the auction I think common sense kicked-in and I realised that for the same money I could have a new high spec iPad (I already have a Mk1) which would benefit me more - both as a synth, sequencer, midi control apps etc etc. (More bang for the buck).

    If I had disposable cash then i'd definitely buy an OP-1 though.

    Have read stuff about the battery only lasting about 2 years though :(

    What I would like to know about it is, I realise it's got the tape that you record bits to and you can have multiple songs on this tape (before recording to 'album A/B).
    Can the tape be saved though to your computer?

    E.g. You create parts for a handful of songs which you could play as a live set whilst in 'tape' by jumping around the parts and playing/solo/mute/FX the 4 channels.
    Is it possible to SAVE this 'set' then recall it at a later date?
    ( I realise that to 'save' you need a PC connection)

    Hope you see this post and can answer.
