Op-xy recieving cc messages just on one channel with the new Launchpad XL 3

OP-XY
1

Hey!

I’m using the Novation template for the op-xy, which supposedly works out of the box and is already mapped:

I can switch tracks with the Launchpad, but the op-xy only responds to incoming CC data on a single track. This happens even though, in the save settings (under the pen menu), I’ve assigned each track to its own MIDI channel—so the mapping goes from MIDI In 1 to 8 into the op-xy. That seems like the correct, and almost the only, way to configure it.

However, the Novation Launchpad still only controls the first MIDI track—probably because the op-xy it’s locked to just read the input from MIDI channel 1.

Honestly, I find it strange that I can’t figure out what’s missing in my configuration.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.

Hi there! One thing to check is the XY’s active channel. By default, channel 1 controls whatever the currently active track is. I don’t have a Launchpad so I’m kind of guessing here, but it might fix things if you set the OP-XY’s active track to something outside of the 1-8 range.

Here’s how you do that:

  • Press COM
  • Press M1 to open the system menu
  • Scroll to MIDI
  • Scroll to “active track ch” and change it to ch 16 or another channel you aren’t using.

I’m just taking a guess here but hopefully that fixes your issue.
