Reel Expansion for
TE field system
Your field system, with your iPhone
in the middle.
Launch price until 11th December
$3.99 / £3.99 / €4.99
Tight integration. Intuitive navigation.
The OP-1 field, OP-XY and TP-7 move their files over MTP via Reel on iOS. Plug one in and depending on the device its tapes, takes, projects or kits appear on Reel's display. Navigate and transfer with just your thumb on the disc alongside the plus and minus buttons. Reel unlocks six stereo tracks, so it slots into the field system's workflow.
One tape.
Two machines.
The OP-1 field and Reel share one tape.
Swap it between them, nothing to convert.

What people are saying
4.8/5 · 300+ ratings on the App Store
"I was looking for cheaper alternatives to the teenage engineering TP-7 and this was recommended on Reddit. Using it for a few weeks I can say it is very close and in some ways better! Has some features that the TP-7 doesn't, is always with you and the devs seem very responsive to user feedback."
"Pairs perfectly with my OP-1 field, all 4 tracks come through onto their own tracks straight away."
"I've owned a TP-7 for almost a year now, and it's the closest thing I've seen so far."
"I've been pairing an OP-XY with it and making really nice textures from engines."

Questions
Do I need the expansion to record my OP-1 field, OP-XY, TP-7 or TX-6?+
No. Reel records any of them over USB-C as an audio interface without it. The expansion adds file transfer: tapes, takes, projects and kits moving between the device and Reel, six tracks for TP-7 multitrack takes, the TX-6 and the OP-XY in multichannel USB, and the TX-6's Mixdown Mode.
Do I need a computer or an app on the device?+
No. A USB-C cable between the device and your iPhone is all it takes. Put the device into MTP file transfer mode and Reel's display becomes its browser. Nothing is installed on the device and nothing on it is changed unless you send something to it.
How do I buy it?+
Inside Reel 1.5.52 or later, under Settings > Purchases or from the badge on this page when Reel is installed. One purchase covers all four devices tied to your Apple Account so Restore Purchases brings it back on a new phone.
Can I buy the expansion on its own, just for the file transfer?+
No. The expansion is part of Reel, not an app of its own. Reel's display is where the device's tapes, takes, projects and kits appear and where the transfers happen. Buy Reel from the App Store, then the expansion inside it under Settings > Purchases.
Can I use six tracks with my other USB interface?+
No. Six tracks open for the field system only. A TX-6 in 12 OUT or 12 CH records six. So does an OP-XY in multichannel USB mode. A six-track reel, such as a TP-7 multitrack take, plays and overdubs on six tracks whatever is plugged in. With any other interface Reel records four tracks as before.
Which TX-6 USB mode should I use?+
12 OUT to record the six TX-6 channels onto six Reel tracks. 12 IN to play the reel out one track per strip and to use Mixdown Mode. 12 CH does both directions at once but cannot print a mixdown. 2 CH is a plain stereo interface. Reel notices a change of mode on the fly.
