OP-1f Bluetooth MIDI connection / Control start and stop

mrmatcom · February 28, 2023, 10:21pm

Hi everyone,

I’m using my op-1 field in pair with an MPC Live 2.

The usb midi connection works like a charm while with the Bluetooth one I have some challenges: I cannot control the start/stop of the track to and from the OP1.

Did someone make it work?

Thanks a lot!

Midi sync ? Check the button with the metronome symbol.

I tried that.

No problem over usb C, but doesn’t work via Bluetooth

Did you advertise the ble?

And the orange encoder for other midi functions.

It seems so.

The midi keyboard works, it’s just the play/stop that doesn’t work.

And how is the metronome menu? There are different kinds of sync.

I tried with both of the following settings

Hmmm. Well maybe it is a setting in the Akai?.

someone correct me if i’m wrong
but pretty sure that midi clock does not transmit over bluetooth
only thru cable

ah i just read it again
u would think that transport messages would still send
even if clock does not
but maybe still that is where your problem lies?

That could be the reason. I’m not a midi expert

connect that shit to a midi monitor and find out
