Any one experiencing this? I have a breakbeat sample on track one scene 1 and when switching to the next scene with a different break beat sample the previous sample continues to play on top of the next scene until it has finished. Normally when switching scenes the music would stop from the previous one.

I transferred the wav file into samples folder but I cannot locate them or find them on Op-XY. Which buttons do I press to get them play the samples and map them to keys on a track?

Thanks for your help 2 weeks into learning.

Not sure what I’m missing here. I cannot connect to the iPad with the opxy. I tried deleting devices and clearing the bluetooth cache. Surprisingly the Bluetooth advertise with ipad works correctly, but not all apps support this.

last week I shared I had started working on a companion app for OP-XY. The response was great and it’s come a long way since!

It’s called VJ-XY. A few things to iron out, but I thought the best way to show where it’s at is just to play with it.

In this take, I’m sequencing clips and vfx parameters from the external midi track, and playing some params live. scenes and patterns handle the clips changing as the song progresses. It’s turned out more fun than I expected.

Planning to release it on the app store in a week or two. one-time price, no subscriptions.

Just posting this to vibrate the universe into having te release an opxy update soon. Any discussion on the topic also welcome.

mpc sample has somehwat of a live looper with fixed sequence length including retroactive audio recording, not unlikely to get improved upon in that department with firmware updates since its so young.

1010music bento is a very capable live looper, the new blackbox 2 brings that into an even smaller form factor.

sp404ii also very capable live looper, although the handling requires some serious muscle memory and menu diving

ableton move also got proper audio tracks in its 2.0 update.

in that regard the xy pales greatly in comparison to those machines which are more or less swimming in the same pond for substancially less money. xy has bad sample management, borderline unusable 20secs max sample length, no way of recording audio in context with the rest of the track...

while the op1f is surprisingly capable for live looping, a more modern clip based approach is way more flexible.

sure, TE wants you to own both the op1f and the opxy. I have both and although they compliment each other in a lot of fun and interesting ways, this setup is more complex and loses the mobility I love. even if you go that length, working with clips is just different and the opxy could deliver that.

I'm dreaming of hooking up the xy with just one cable to one synth at a time, record some clips, then some guitar stuff, then lay down in a hammock and go to town with one device on my lap.

with all the new devices and their workflows, the xy feels more and more incomplete without some sort of audio tracks and I see myself selling it for something like the bento in the future. I'd rather not, but that scratch is real.

now that te brougt undo to op1f, I believe anything is on the table.

let a man hope

ps: while we're at it, give me capture/recall/retro-rec/whatever you want to call it both for midi and audio
