Hello guys,
I am a proud owner of a Tenori-On and an OP-1
I like to play with both appart… and those days I am wondering about playing with both together…
Especially, what I think about is using the Tenori-on to control the 4 channels of my OP-1 !
Great.
Do you know if it is possible ?
And if yes, what would I need to do that ?
Would that: http://www.iconnectivity.com/products/midi/iConnectMIDI1 be enough ?
Is there a better solution ? (less expansive, or more functional ?)
What would you think of this idea ?
A side note: I am totally new at midi stuff… so if you ask me questions, you have to be precise because I’m kind of dumb 
What I would like to do is exactly the contrary of that:
op-1 and tenori on - YouTube
(who, in his right mind, would prefer the tenori sound over the op-1 sound ? really ?)
<3
cheers
Just chipping in here to say I too have an OP-1 & a TNR-W. Picked up the Tenori early (first batch), nice to play with, but better with other kit. Looking to trigger my MG properly with mine soon.
Some Tenori sounds are delicious.
1 channel at a time is all that’s possible via midi,on OP1.
That and trigger starting Tape that can play tracks and loops.
Back to your one channel triggered from TNR -you could use OP-1 drum sampler and place 4 samples or more on different keys then seq them that way.
Yes your Yamaha may work better with a multi timbre machine ,like Korg Electribe 2,that can play 16 voices at once,…but I like that bounce sequencer on Tenori-on and would like to pair it with Tombola on OP1.
Just jamming with both machines (at same time) would be a lot if fun.you could record sequencers of TNR with OP voices one a time onto OP tape which would work.
Waldorf Blowfeld may pair nice with your Tenori ,as it can play multi timbral.
iCM 1 or 4 will do it.
There’s a Kenton box too, but i’ve completely forgot what its called. Maybe someone can help me out there ,or google Kenton midi to USB .
iConnect MIDI 1 is not a USB host and will not work for the setup the guy shows in the video. The iConnectMIDI4+ does this as well as the Kenton USB MIDI Host. The key here is that USB needs to be routed properly, and therefore needs a host to setup what devices are connected.

I know, it was a jock… I am a big big fan of the Tenori sounds… but with OP-1 you can have that kind of sound easily (well, you export your tenori sound bank and then… profit !)
@Spheric_El & @GCF :
Thanks for your answer! That’s very cool of you to take time to answer.
So, I can do midi but just one voice at a time… ok. I have to think if I find a routine that’ll work for me in that case.

the OG ICM 1 IS a USB HOST.

u are thinking of the 2+ that is not a host
If you click the link, you can see that what he is referring to is the iConnectMIDI1. What you are thinking of is the iConnectMIDI (http://www.amazon.com/iConnectMIDI-Enhanced-interface-MIDI-DIN-MIDI-USB/dp/B004NDLXOW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8). They are two different products. The one he has linked is for iOS or computer connectivity. So iConnectMIDI (discontinued) or iConnectMIDI4+ is what he wants, and not the 1, 2+, or mio.

I think so too, they must be THE team. I’m thinking about getting a tenori-on as well…but do I need it really?
@mixrasta it would be nice next to the OP1,playing together.
@stadja you could use tape to collect your layers ,loops and patterns by overdubbing.Also sampling layers seems a good method for OP1.

I use this setup regularly for some live stuff. With a decent audio interface you can take put the Local mode tenori sounds to play with the blofeld sounds. IMO this is a great combo with the odd ‘chalk and cheese’ style sound arrangement on both devices. I also route the tenori into my Virus Ti 2 with incredibly satisfying results.
