A MKII/USBC version would not feature USB hosting. So audio to another device would not happen. But even if it did it would still be worse than using the analog output due to latency. USB is not better than good ole analog when it comes to simple audio just working like we expect it to.
When there will be a MKII it will be more about the hardware than any changes that would make features incompatible with the current hardware. There have not been significant improvements in chips to warrant more power under the hood without switching to a raspberry pi or some linux in a box solution which has itās own set of drawbacks. Furthermore the sample without playing samples limitation (because it is not using large external RAM) also makes features like never have to wait for the loading of a song or sample possible, which is part of the joy.
We can bypass this easily. Just set a metronome track using a synth click and you can play some chords as well so youāre in the zone while sampling your guitar. Works for me.
Same here. Just connect a USB cable to a phone and start sampling any audio coming out of the phone. At least on my phone (currently using an Android) that was the experience. I didnāt even need to change a single setting. Seamless.
Hereās a new track made with the M8, a Telecaster and an acoustic guitar through the Specular Tempus reverb (what a pedal!).
Itās called āCatastrophe!ā.
Iām using the Op-1F and M8 together,
Connected with the M8 USB cable and a simple USB-c to usb-a adapter.
Iām getting audio from the M8 to the OP-1F no problem, but sending midi (over usb) from the Field to the M8 isnāt working.
Iāve enabled midi input in the settings, set the M8 to the same channel, and even routed that channel to a specific instrument # in the M8.
This works midi-wise if I am using a Bluetooth midi dongle adapter in the M8 and sending midi from the field via Bluetooth, but it doesnāt work hardwired over usb. Any ideas why?
One cable connection between the two,
MIDI Field->M8
And audio M8->Field would be ideal
I remember having trouble sending Clock from the OP1f. Clock from M8 worked though.
But I donāt remember having trouble sending MIDI Outā¦ like using the OP1 as a midi keyboard.
Try setting the OUT channel to 9. and go to Phrase screen on the M8.
I might be wrong, because I rotate a lot of gear and my brain is mixing features & bugs.
I donāt know the OP1, so maybe this is a dumb question: does the OP1 use MIDI TRS? And if so, are you using TRS cable or an adapter? Just wondering if itās a spec mismatch ā if memory serves, the M8 is Type A
Same result for me with my M8 and OP1F. Not sure what side is the culprit but itās been an issue identified and duplicated by a handful of folks here.
Iāll keep trying some different things, but at a certain point you just wanna move forward and not be fiddling with midi settings all day
Iāll just keep using the midi Bluetooth dongle, I had that working with no issue, I just wanted a cleaner setup.
I did notice that when the M8 is connected to the OP-1F the connection settings page on the field looks sparse, almost like the OP-1 is only reading it as a data device or something. Iāll try to compare this with a direct connection to the OP-Z to see if the page looks different.
I wonder if that could be the issue, and Iām wondering if itās related to USB charging, since I noticed the field is charging the M8 when connected
