I was quite thrilled about the announcement that you can connect an USB audio interface with the OP-1 field. I wanted to connect the VOLT 1 interface to record external instruments or voice on the op1f but I’m getting no signal into it, even though the Volt is receiving audio.
Have you guys tried to connect a USB interface and were you successful? Any ideas why the op1f won’t receive audio?
I have a rather tiresome work around, which is connecting the interface to my iPhone and sending the monitor out to the op1f’s line in but this means a lot more cables and stuff…
Currently the only thing that seems to work is the TX-6 mixer from TE. Knowing how things work with similar “ecosystem” companies like Apple, they probably want to keep the connectivity in house - meaning we wont see it working with anything class compliant out of the box.
We can probably hope for connectivity with the OP-Z, but at this time, audio over USB only works OP-Z to OP-1 field, and not the other way around.
This is not true. I have successfully made it work with several USB devices, including a MXL conference microphone, another mic, and the OP-1 OG.
As of firmware 1.1.6, audio output from OP-1 field does not work at all. It may or may not work with TX-6 (don’t have one).
There also seems to be a limitation regarding sample rate: if the connected audio interface does not use/support 44.1kHz, the OP-1 field doesn’t enable input from the device.
Interesting - audio output DID work prior to 1.1.6? I never tested that.
For me, I’ve used it with a Blue Yeti multipattern USB microphone, which powered fine from the OP-1 Field. However someone here or on another forum said their Blue Yeti only worked through a powered hub. No idea, works for me.
I’m trying to USB connect an Analog Four MKII to the Field with no luck.
It connects just fine for midi transmission which is great, but it doesn’t receive audio over usb from the A4. Tried all the settings though I think it should work fine if the A4 is set to Usb audio+midi
And the field is set to USB input and enabled.
Prior to update, Overbridge and MIDI+Audio mode on my Digitakt crashed my OP1F. Cheap USB-B to USB-C cable. After update, only MIDI mode worked to sync clocks.
Got it! Well maybe they’ll work on it for a future update. It should work right? Like it’s kinda advertised to accept usb audio. It’s not necessary but it would be real nice.
I can definitely connect my iPad Pro via a USB-C cable and send audio over it to the Field; it works amazingly well. Maybe this is what they mean about USB audio vs. an audio interface.
I have been meaning to try connecting my my Audient iD4 but it sounds like it won’t work based on what folks are saying here.
Any suggestions for getting midi out (5 pin) from the OP1F as a master? I want to sync OP1F and Erica db01 via midi, can I for example use this (Miditech MIDIface 2x2 – Thomann Sverige) then?
Did that USB audio interface going IN the OP1 Field got fixed?
I’m getting mixed terminology about USB Audio and USB Audio Interface going in.
I have a Line6 Helix (compliant Audio Interface in which I can plug both a mic and a guitar and can either record the Helix output or via the audio interface), a Volt 276, an Audient ID22, a Behringer 404UHD and thought about using one of these or buying an Audient EVO4 to record guitar and mics in.
But reading the forum, I’m a bit afraid it won’t work.
Did you ever figure out the M8 - Op1F connection? I’m trying to to get this working too. Currently M8 sends audio to Op1F but not vice versa. M8 is also showing it’s receiving power over USB from Op1F but the Op1F doesn’t show it’s sending power in the COM screen. Would love to be able to bounce audio back and forth between them and make the sequencers run in tandem.
