If you had all this TE gear, how would you cable the whole thing up? Probably synchronizing by BLE, all audio into the tx6, then aux out into the op1.
What do you think?
Ah, the million dollar question as I sit here trying to charge both the tp-7 and tx-6 plugged into a common USB hub. .

i wish they all had an extra usb port

Personally, don’t have any real need to sync the TX- if I really need time synced delay or tape stop I’ll just tap tempo in.
In most situations I think op-1 does better as a master clock, and I would argue makes the most sense considering the tape tracks and ability to shift speed/pitch.
I do use the Retrokits RK-006 w/USB hub to use op-1 as master to EP-133 and several other non TE devices. Clock and transport isn’t so much the issue as is-
Powering all these when they are communicating (clock), or using the dedicated USB connection when passing audio to/from TX and TP.
in theory op-xy would be the brains of the operation, slaving op-1 (i’m using field) via usb-c and op-z via midi out using a stereo cable to line module. but op-xy’s current firmware doesn’t seem to support disabling usb-c charging, so as a result, you’ll get significant line noise with such a set up as op-xy charges off op-1f. i haven’t tested this with an og-1 yet, though.
EP-133 is the perfect gateway to connect all kind of gear.
To use XY as a master brain to control everything, I would connect XY to EP133 via TRS midi.
Then I have an extra USB-C from EP-133 to connect to TX-6.
Connect XY via USB to OP-1f
Connect EP-133 to OP-Z via TRS midi
Then I still have clock out from EP-133 to go to anything else.
