Hey guys, I own both the OP-1 and the OP-Z and got curious if you can use the wonderful sequencer from the OP-Z to control the OP-1 synth and record it to the OP-1 tape?
I have a USB C (connected to OP-Z) > to USB-Mini (Connected to OP-1), but…
I can’t get them to talk properly with each other.
I can control various synths through MIDI-USB with the OP-Z but is this possible with the OP-1?
Yes you can. You need to tell the op-1 what midi channel to listen to. See section 13.3 and 13.4 of the op-1 manual. https://teenage.engineering/_img/54b7f9bf8681400300255cab_original.pdf
Then you need to tell the op-z what you want it to send over midi.

This guys video goes over the process if you learn from watching others better than reading manuals. It’s not my video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykp8S8l4Arw
You can find a bunch of info and a long conversation about op-z midi here - Op-z MIDI Thread If you have more specific questions you should post them there instead of creating a new thread.
I hope all that helps.
As @kingof9x ssays you can control the OP-1 from the OP-Z, but don’t expect much - it’s not a multi-timbral midi sound module. It responds to one midi input channel at a time, so you can control a synth sound or a drum patch from the OP-Z, but not both at the same time. Sort of disappointing really.
