Teenage engineering’s history of communicating with the world both as a company, and as the devices is sketchy at least. Op1’s crippled audio over USB functions, OPC wonky line modules , The inability to make both devices talk properly to each other and so on.
But now it looks like the OPxy Works much better than this regard. One thing which I think is a big miss is that the midi in is not configurable as a midi out. If you could do that, you could still sequence media gear externally, and use the configurable input as individual out for an effect loop. Or am I missing something here?
I am really curious to see whether the OPxy and the OP 1 and the OpZ Will be able to communicate with each other in a meaningful way. I can’t imagine using the OPz as a sound module and the OP 1 as a tape machine plus sound module. Not sure yet of how I would cable it all together. You would probably need a TX 6 to make it work. And success at bank robbery.
TE seem pretty scatterbrained & somewhat aloof, not nefarious masterminds trying to scam people into buying a ton of gear…why do i say that? your main point is excellent & baffling cause why wouldn’t all their machines connect and sync easily?
enhanced or at least seamless interconnectivity should be a priority and widely advertised if they want users to buy more products
they’ve taken advantage of that during the period of time before TP7s latest update (linking TX + TP opened previously inaccessible channel modes) but it’s perhaps even more odd to realize that PO sync might be the only standard implemented across all TE devices
edit: i totally misread what you were saying here…
there are currently dedicated jacks that acts as trs midi input and output, then the usb port AND ble (wireless) midi which are both bi-directional afaik
what are you hoping to accomplish and why would the midi in jack need to be swapped to make it possible?
If the midi in could be configured as a midi out, I could control a sound module like a Moog Mother and feed it back onto the OPXY.
If you configure the multi port to midi I thought out, how do you get the signal into the OPXY?
