So I bought my op1 exactly two weeks ago and it’s been great so far. However, upon plugging it in to my external audio interface via mini to xlr cable I ran into some issues. After unplugging it because I couldn’t get the recording to show on my computer, there was no audio coming out at all. There is a strange din frequency ringing coming from the speaker that mildly changes tone when a key is pressed, but it’s not tone sensitive. I tried a factory reset and a firmware update with no luck. Thoughts?
This is a new one I think, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of use of the line out completely killing all of someone’s audio =/
For completeness sake, does it work with headphones? I know you said you couldn’t record it, I just want to rule out the cable or even interface.
Have you run the diagnostic? Same menu as the factory reset.
I hope you can exchange it for another one from the reseller, because if you bought it directly from TE you could be in for a loooooong ride judging from what I’ve read.
Thanks KrisM, just ran a diagnostic and its says “test 3. Signal between speaker and internal microphone. STATUS: no signal” and “Test 8. Connect red audio port to white audio port. STATUS. no signal”. I bought it from guitar center with insurance but it would be nice to not have to go through all of that.
Guitar Center has a 30 day return policy. I’d exchange that shit.
and no, I just tried with headphones and it doesn’t work
return!!!
Rather than make a new thread I’m just gonna add on here.
I got my OP-1 yesterday (!)
After about four hours of playing around I had the audio out die on me four or five times. This would typically happen when I was switching from sampling to the synth or playing back a sample and moving around on the wave.
The audio would completely die even though I could see that it should be putting something out (the graphics and LEDs were responding).
I would double-check that I didn’t have a weird envelope setting or anything but…nothing.
It would come back after a reboot.
I did a factory reset and it’s the same…whenever it seems like it’s ‘thinking too hard’ the audio dies.
I’ve got the latest firmware.
Fortunately, I got mine from a retailer with a great return policy so no worries there…just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
It’s strange.
It’s like only the audio out is freezing up but everything else keeps working.
Same on speaker and headphones btw.
I guess waiting on my replacement will give me more time to study my reverse b&w manual!
my kingdom for a quality io board…
Maybe some third party engineer will spec that replacement board with something a bit more robust. Hell, a LOT more robust. lol
I agree that a better board/mod would be an idea; it could even add some more connectors out the bottom.
