Does the MX-1 do midi sync over USB with the OP-1?

I bought a Roland TB-3 recently. Very easy and fun to program and sounds really good. Thinking about getting a TR-8 to go with it, but then again I really need a mixer. Would love to have the MX-1, but at the moment it’s out of my price range.

TB3 -great synth,great sequencer @tjp1

Does the MX-1 do midi sync over USB with the OP-1?

I’m sorry to sound like a complete amateur but I don’t know. This stuff is all new to me after coming out of the box which is not to be confused with Barbie’s Ken, he always cums in a different box, but I’ve digressed.

I’m not at the ‘live show performance stage’ so I just play stuff in and jam. I love it like that for now.

Sorry I couldn’t be of anymore help to you. Also the info and tips on the MX-1 doesn’t exist because of its ‘new’ status. We can’t just put a question into Google and get a instant tut so lots of questions and niggles I have remain with me for now.

Bought an Octatrack last week. What have I done?

@wildfrontiers My 2 cents : dedicate yourself to the instrument for a few weeks !

It’s rewarding, I promise.

I have found myself checking for Octatracks every evening on eBay. And I thought I was content with my set-up, my subconscious disagrees!

Tried reading the manual last night, it may as well be in Greek for all the sense I could make of it. Sounds like sound advice @LyingDalai !!

It’s not THAT hard.

It’s deep, that’s all.
Break the learning into small pieces that you master, THEN you’ll think of using it for musical performance :wink:

The difficulty comes in the use of unusual names for things, pickup machine, thru machine, flex samples, static samples etc. Think I will watch cuckoo's workflow video again.

After reading the manual, watching tutorials and reading tips on the Elektronauts forums, I feel like I have a very basic idea of what I want to do…or at least how to learn what to do :slight_smile: Now, just to wait until Friday when it arrives and I can get my grubby paws on it.

@wildfrontiers - the best thing you have ever done! OT rules forever, you need nothing more that OT+OP1! Seriously… Good move

When I can afford it I will buy back the Octatrack for the third time. It’s the first thing to go when I need to finance something else, but I always come back to it.

can’t hardly wait for BAM & BOUM



The OT finally arrived over the weekend! Holy crap this thing is awesome. I’ve found the workflow to pleasantly mesh very well with the way I work so far. I still have a lot to learn, I’d say I’ve covered maybe 10% of what this machine can do. Had so much fun sampling the PO-12 and messing with slices.

Ordered one of those Midipal clones, the Midibro from Audiothingies as well. Should open up some new avenues for some of my gear.

I picked up an Akai MPC 1000 a week after I got my Op-1.

I love my equipment. I am over the universe with it, but I am at my wits end. I need to get my song into Logic on separate tracks so I can mix it down.

I created a video which spells out my predicament;

I’m feeling as desperate as Kevin’s mum in Home Alone. Please help!!

Unless you have JJOS on your MPC you can’t record audio tracks I believe. You need an audio interface, with as many inputs as you have pieces of gear ideally.

I just bought a Volca Sample.
Not that I really NEED it...
But with the summer coming...

^you did well :slight_smile:
