So this one includes an OP-Z, where I’m using the line module to route some stuff through a Chase Bliss Mood and record it all in multiple takes on the TP-7. After that, mixing on the TX-6 and some live scratching and down pitching on the TP-7 for final take -
I’ve received my preordered TP-7 from B&H yesterday and tried it out for 20 minutes.
It was all really great, but the jog wheel made a noticeable clacking sound when rewinding (and, as I later noticed, also while recording). After a while, the little shiny cover in the center fell off. The jog wheel did not fall off, but since there is not obvious way to put the part back on permanently and even if there was, all this didn’t exactly give me a lot of confidence, it’s RMA o’clock.
(I’m the type of person who washes his hands before unboxing items like this, and I didn’t use any force on anything.)
To put it in perspective, this is my first TE RMA, and I have more synths from them than I care to admit :).
I’ve actually held off on my review for the TP-7 because there’s just too much going on here that seems like it’s more 0.9 than 1.0 in firmware.
It’s quite a lovely 0.9, tho, but even though one should get a device for what it does, not for what it might do next week, I still don’t see this being the intended basic functionality all in place.
I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that TE will enable additional functionality when linked to an OP-1f, and for some reason I cannot get it out of my head that they will enable something like 8 track recording with OP-1f or something like that.
Mine is getting delivered this Saturday, cannot wait. Def bought it for what it CAN do currently, but the possibilities of what they’re going to add to this definitely are something nice to “sprinkle” on top.
Thanks.
What do you mean with Larsen ?
And did you try it while recording and looping. Or is this not possible yet.
Edit. Ah Larsen means acoustic feedback. This is promising.
Reading more I do believe this is possible. Means if you only need 6 inputs and can control levels from the other devices, this device might be sufficient vs the tx6 mixer which I had planned on getting.
