Hi there , Recent per chaser of the OP1 and trying to decode it’s midi mind abilities . Spent a while wrestling with it & figuring some if the stuff the manual really should include and thort maybe I could get some joy from fellow users here . I’ve tried teenage engineering with questions but no replies worth having so far … 1) I’m using the ‘midi lfo’ . It let’s me route 4 midi lfo’s to the modulation destinations . Most of these modulation possibilities are semi decode-able from the color coded dots & their ‘shift’ parameter buddies . However - one of the destinations - the 'spkr & ‘music note’ - which is the overall ‘operator’ pitch and ‘volume’ modulations in it’s ‘tremelo’ LFO counterpart , but has 4 differant modulation destinations in the ‘midi lfo’ version… Would LOVE to know what they are …my guess is pitch , volume , both , but the last ? Something to do with modulation envelope ???
2 ) I want to interface midi to the OP1 from nonDAW midi sources . Does anyone know if the midi man midisport 4x4 USB hub will work as an interface ? I understand Kenton make a unit , but it’s pricey for a work around .
3) does anyone have the 3rd party manual ? I found a couple of pages on amazon & it looks Like it has more info . ( by chance I met a guy who worked in the Ableton interfacing for T.E. & he was as in the dark as I am on all these points…)
4) does anyone know what the parameters are on the DNA synth ? There are 4 of them . It’s not in what I believe is their latest manual .
5) anyone had joy getting missing info out if T.E. ? I don’t want to join ANY social media sights if possible … It’s a funny beast . A lot of uber sweet details & quick draw functions , then obvious other details so blatantly missed . It leaves one with the impression it’s very much aimed at a certain type of person and a certain mentality that I am not relating too …?? Thank you in advance for any helps & hope it’s goodtimes where yr at
I don't think the Midisport can play USB host, so even if you're able to connect it direct to the OP1 (certainly does not play USB host), it probably won't work.
I use an iConnectmidi4+ .expesive but powerful.acts as a midi merge for old school midi,hosts upto 8 USB via a hub,then can combine 3 iOS or computers w/ audio pass through.
The OP-1 is deffo aimed at a different mind set.Forget all those lists of specifications -it’s colour and image all the way.(Does it sound good)?
The DNA has noise on the orange encoder and supposedly is based on the “CPU I.D.”,so that each machine sounds slightly different to the next.Thats why its called DNA.its not in the manual.
With your speaker/pitch destination -try using an element LFO with audio input source /radio with some speach.This may give more clues to how the mod is working.
- shame this info is spread far & wide …a digi manual is easily updated .
I do appreciate at least some info - if not really very specific …
i’d rather the manual was in swedish , but accurate & thorough , than this mess of missing info & hidden pitfalls ( the midi ) .
i guess one of my bugbears is its still not enough info - ( is it filter type or filter cut off freq ?? , wave modifier is a big word - what are they ? i’m only saying this in context of their ‘next level’ advertising .
do they know , even ? ,
why the secrets ?
this really should all be in the manual . i dont see any excuse …
thank you again for yr info - i’m just annoyed at the poor info from TE …
…and the even poorer customer support …who suggested i try here …i kid u not …
