Download the App and Register Your OPUS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you open the OPUS box, you’ll find the handy Quick-Start Guide. On page 2, you will find the QR Code with this link to download the app you need to control the OPUS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s possible to use most features of the OPUS standalone without connecting it to a computer or mobile device. However, it\u2019s much easier with the Two Notes Torpedo Remote<\/strong> app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you use the app for the first time you will be prompted to create a user account with Two notes and register your purchase, which is required to access all the OPUS\u2019 features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to the Two notes Torpedo Remote webpage<\/a>. We recommend starting with the app for macOS or Windows. Later, you can download the mobile app to control the OPUS from your phone or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download and install the version of the app that\u2019s appropriate for your version of macOS or Windows. Follow the instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Connect your OPUS to your Mac or PC using the included USB-C cable. If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you will need a USB-C to USB-A adapter dongle, which is not included. Power up the OPUS by connecting its included power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On macOS, you will be prompted to indicate that you give permission for the USB device to connect to your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Two Notes Remote app\u2019s registration screen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you first run the app with the OPUS connected, you will see a Declaration of Ownership, which detects your device\u2019s serial number and prompts you to register your purchase. You can temporarily bypass this by clicking Guest<\/strong>, but don\u2019t choose that option; it\u2019s not productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the prompts to create an account, log in, and register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will want to install the newest firmware whenever Two Notes releases an upgrade. The firmware update will provide bug fixes and may also add entirely new amp and speaker models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you run the Torpedo Remote app, it will notify you when an upgrade is available. To upgrade, you must be logged in, with your serial number registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OPUS firmware upgrade prompt<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the app prompts you to upgrade the firmware, click Yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app will prompt you to back up the presets and configuration of your OPUS to a file on your computer’s hard drive. If your OPUS is brand-new, you can select No<\/strong>. If you have already programmed some features, select Yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On macOS, at the beginning of the firmware update procedure, you may see a brief message asking your permission to connect a new USB device. Click Yes<\/strong> right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app will automatically download the firmware installer, upload it to the OPUS, and perform the upgrade. Do not disconnect or turn off your OPUS or your computer while this upgrade is in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the upgrade fails, and the Torpedo Remote app quits unexpectedly, don’t worry. You can restart the app and re-install the firmware to correct the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app will indicate that the firmware update is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app will now open a new window showing the full range of features of the OPUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your OPUS comes with a license to use Two note’s new Genome plug-in<\/a>, which provides effects and models that run natively on your Mac or Windows PC to provide signal processing within your DAW. You can also download and work with the older Two notes <\/span>Torpedo Wall of Sound plug-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The OPUS User\u2019s Manual online<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can access the User\u2019s Manual online in your web browser<\/a>, but you can also download a copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Downloading the OPUS User\u2019s Manual<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to the page and move your cursor over the PDF icon on the right. Select Export to PDF<\/strong> in the pop-up menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OPUS front panel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The two rotary encoder control knobs can be pressed in and turned to access the various menus and change parameters on the unit\u2019s display screen. Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > Using OPUS Without Torpedo Remote Via the OLED Display & Rotary Encoders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OPUS right-side connections<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n To connect a guitar or an output from your pedalboard, use a guitar instrument cable<\/strong> and set the In Level switch<\/strong> to Inst<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To connect the output from an amplifier, use a speaker cable<\/strong>, not an instrument cable, and set the In Level<\/strong> switch to Amp<\/strong>. Use another speaker cable in the To Speaker<\/strong> connection to connect to a suitable speaker or load box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warning! When an amp is connected to the Amp<\/strong> input, the related cabinet or a suitable load box has to be connected to the To Speaker<\/strong> connection using the correct speaker cables. Failure to do this will damage your amplifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > OPUS Setup Scenarios > 3.

A 256MB card is included; the slot can accommodate up to a 32GB card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the OPUS is designed to fit on your pedalboard, it has no footswitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In live performance, if you need to switch presets or alter parameters, you can do this from the Torpedo Remote<\/strong> app on your phone or tablet, connected to the OPUS wirelessly via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer physical footswitches or expression pedals, you can connect a MIDI foot controller<\/a> (not included) to the OPUS using the included MIDI cable breakout connector, and map the functions you need to the footswitches on your controller. Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > Setup manager > 5. MIDI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned earlier, you can control the OPUS using only its two hardware knobs and the built-in display, but it\u2019s much easier to access all the functions on the Torpedo Remote app on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > Using OPUS Without Torpedo Remote Via the OLED Display & Rotary Encoders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Torpedo Remote for OPUS on macOS<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As you have already installed the Torpedo Remote app for your computer, set up a Two notes account, registered your unit, and upgraded the firmware, you are ready to get started with the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that the USB connection is for transmitting data to program and control OPUS; the OPUS does not send or receive audio over USB. To route the audio from the OPUS to your computer\u2019s DAW, you need to connect the OPUS\u2019 analog audio outputs to an audio interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Mac and Windows version of the app enables creating and saving banks of presets and loading your own IRs. This version also allows connecting to the Two notes store online to purchase and download additional Two notes DynIR virtual cabinets, and to load those into the internal memory on the OPUS over USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > About OPUS > 3.

You can only have one connection active at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > 3.

The Ultimate Fly Rig<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we have mentioned earlier, you can connect your guitar to your amplifier, then connect the speaker output from your amplifier to the OPUS, in order to use the OPUS\u2019 cabinet and microphone modeling to get a DI signal or line output to go to your front of house mixer or audio interface. This negates the need to use microphones on your speaker cabinet on stage or in the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must take care to set this up correctly, and you must connect the To Speaker<\/strong> output to a suitable speaker cabinet or load box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you attempt this, carefully read this section in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > OPUS Setup Scenarios > 3. Lose The Mics For Your Amp On Stage & In The Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use the OPUS\u2019 digitally-modeled preamp in place of your amp’s preamp, and then send the output from the OPUS to your amp’s power amplifier, and then to your amp’s speaker cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use the OPUS with your acoustic guitar\u2019s piezo pickup output to model the sound of a guitar miked acoustically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the Torpedo Remote app for Mac or Windows, you can create new presets that bypass the preamp and power amp models. Then, using the IR Loader<\/strong> tab, you can select from the app’s extensive library of acoustic guitar body models, rather than speaker cabinet models, which you can upload from the app to the OPUS’ memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use the channel controls to program the parameters you want to save to your presets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also create a mix of your wet and dry signal, and use the Line Out Routing<\/strong> facility to send the dry and wet signals separately to the OPUS\u2019 two outputs, to different channels on your audio interface or mixer for further mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > Using OPUS as an Acoustic DI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending upon the setup scenario, you can set up the Line output for a different signal chain than the DI output. This way you can create two different mono signals to route and mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can access the Line Out Routing<\/strong> feature on the front panel of the OPUS or using the Torpedo Remote app\u2019s Setup<\/strong> menu. The four settings available are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the OPUS User\u2019s Manual > Setup manager > Line Out Routing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about each setup scenario in the Install the app for macOS or Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
