What Utility of some step components?
Can someone explain me how to use the multiply step and divided step step comp?, cause when you use this, the sequence is altered and not in sync with the pattern anymore. So what is the purpose of this??. If I would want to multiply x2 a snare for example, I don’t want the bar to be longer, I just want to double the snare
Is there a repository of projects for the ep series?
There is some website I can download projects for the ep series?
Specially classic riddims projects for the ep40?
Ep-40 arrived with an anti-slip rubber missing
My EP-40 arrived with the anti-slip rubber thing missing on the back, it tilts a little when pressing the buttons but it ain’t that bad. Has this happened to anyone else?
Any tips/ideas on how to fix this?
I know it’s not that big off a problem, but it’s a bit irritating hearing it knocking on the table and rocking back and forth as I press buttons on it.
TE to finally release OP-Z field??
Wouldn’t that be amazing ya’ll? Please TE, recycle the screen from the TX-6/ TP-7 and change the chassis to metal. This would be a gift to the community!
Does anyone have a copy of the stem player instructions you could scan or upload photos? I really don't want to spend 20 bucks..
OB-4 - Could you sample audio from it?
Looking at the OB-4, love the idea of listening to the radio and then being able to go back and sample things.
Is there a clean way to sample out of it? Line out or something?
Thanks for any insight.
Opxy bar bug fix
Pressing bar to switch to switch from 1.2.3.4 does this on my opxy. It jumps around randomly. Does this happen to you? Did this get fixed in the new update? This has been so annoying.

My first impressions of the TP-7 (or how I learned to calibrate the motor)
After falling in love with the TX-6, I became enamored with the TP-7 (after years of turning my nose to the whole field series).
Last Sunday, it arrived in the mail. I eagerly opened it and started to play with the wheel while making some voice demos. And then I heard the clicking. Each rotation I could feel the whole machine glitch through part of the rotation, like a surface scratch on a turntable. All the wind left my sails- I put it away and opened up a return ticket on Amazon.
Monday after work, I powered it back on again. Playing around with it hoping some rotations would help it work the kink out. Googled and found there’s a way to recalibrate the motor. Recalibrated it twice and…. It worked.
When recording with the mic, you can definitely hear the disc rotating- which doesn’t bother me, but is worth pointing out. No more noticeable than recording to a tape deck though. But there’s no more clicking.
It’s really easy to pair with the tx-6. I’m still figuring out exactly how I’ll use it in a workflow as playing DJ Scratch with the wheel isn’t going to finish tracks.
So far what I’ve enjoyed using it for though-
-I’ve always got it on when I’m jamming. It’s super nice to be able to hit record and jot down an idea before pausing to try and think up a tempo. It’s also nice just being able to record a jam without much setup.
-Looping is a really nice feature and pretty easy to use. I’ve been layering up my OP-Z parts on the looper.
-pitch shifting samples is easy and fun.
-my goal is to basically have the tp-7 and tx-6 function like the tape track on the OP-1.
I don’t know how much the tp-7 adds to my sound sonically- but it’s really nice to have it to jot down ideas, and it’s a very inspiring piece of kit. Definitely not a necessity, but I’ve been really really enjoying it ever since figuring out the click issue.
TE Jam live on Tape
I did a little jam with my te devices and guitar and recorded directly to tape for some lofi wobbles. I recorded that tape back and synced it to the video (although it gets a bit out of sync at the end because the playback speed was slightly different than the recording speed).
MiniDV Jewel Case: SP-1 Case
Took me a minute to realize that the SP-1 is the same size as a MiniDV tape. Which means the MiniDV Jewel case is a perfect fit! The standard j-card style is great for desktop use, but the TDK shatter-resistant case is bulletproof for tossing in a backpack on the go. I was halfway through padding a standard cassette case when I figured this out. The standard cassette case still could be an option for SP-1 + a few short cables, though 🤷♂️
Ambience with PO-33
Is it possible to create trails like those in Meitei ( https://youtu.be/jP5\_UyRUHFs?is=ZloDdfIFIqHUrv05 ) using only the PO-33? Or at least by using a cell phone as a complement?
TX-6 and Apollo
Hello,
I currently own an Apollo Twin X USB (I'm on PC) and I want to buy a TX-6 along with a few OPs (OP-1, OP-33, and more).
Is it possible to connect the TX-6 to the Apollo via a stereo jack or I need to plug it in usb and do not use my Apollo. I'd really like to route everything through my Apollo since my mic is connected to it.
Thank you
Anybody know where I can get hold of this Fanboy Field Case?
Would really love to have one for my stuff. No response from Fanboy, who I gather is on hiatus.
