OPXY and OG-1 MIDI on USB / charging?

Pulled the trigger on the slider flipped out year OPXY…had some fun with using my original OP-1 with master Phone FX on the OPXY multiout audio/audio in an effects loop…

Two things:

  1. MIDI on USB does not seem to do anything whether 1 to XY or the other way around, what am i missing (did try both OPXY aux 3 MIDI track and instrument track set to channel 7 (OP1 channel)
  2. cannot turn charging off on the OPXY when it is connected direct to OP1 with USB mini to USB C cable

Please advise and thanks…

2 - I could never get this to work either.
