These are super helpful! Thanks for these videos. I'm appreciative and always learn something new. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I wanted to note that when on the multitrack seq, the LFO(s) can be muted (nulled) per track by holding down LFO and hitting the first track button. The first track LEDS are lit (or unlit).
Yes you just set the sequence MIDI channel to the channel of the drum machine, and then press and hold each step and use the knobs to change the assigned note to match your drum machine's notes
thanks for another good tutorial. I am finally gaining ground on the oxi dashboard. I have yet to even look up the new sequencer types, I guess the stoastic and the even newer sequencers are next on my list. but then again the mod and probabilites make a regular sequencer already so complex I let that box of worms for a future date. maybe you have some tips for the new more freaky sequencers? hopefully you can make them less intimidating!
Thanks for the kind words! Yes the new sequencers can be more intimidating so it is best to start simple, and with some modulation even a mono sequencer can be very powerful. I did cover the Stochastic mode in my first Oxi One video so take a look there. I do have a plan to do Matriceal mode in a video
Thanks for your videos, oure best on this topic. This is going to probably be a dumb question,(this is the first thing I've bought that doesn't also make the sounds) given the unit can only send information out to other units in order to get any sounds, I'm confused why it has all these options on the back and in the menus but only one midi output?.... when you're playing with other devices, what do you consider the master device or interface if you will? I've got lots of things to pull apart to try and I'd kind of like a few pointers before I do that because uts going to become a mess and I'll have a huge meltdown 😂. Let's suggest you had a Hydrasynth, Maschibe MK3, laptop (can't use MK3 without it) Artiphone (weird midi guitar) and about 10,000 other groove boxes, how would you connect them together?
MIDI is a chained protocol - so each device has a MIDI in and a MIDI thru port. The idea is that you daisy-chain devices off each other (with the Oxi at the head of the chain) and each device is on its own MIDI channel, so only responds to messages from that channel. Now that can add a delay as the messages propagate down the line, so it's also possible to use 'MIDI splitter' boxes that take one MIDI input (from the Oxi) and duplicate it to 5 or 8 MIDI outputs to go to different synths. Make sense?
@@SynthDad sure does, thanks for writing back to me. It does raise some other questions though, if you’re happy for that? Now, obviously you can’t daisychain three the devices when they are USB midi only as you only have one port? There is no other way I don’t know of is there? In the case of the OXI one what cable do you have going to the computer And what cable do you have going to the next mini device? I only have luck when connecting the OXI one to the next thing whether it be the computer or otherwise via the USB cable I haven’t had any luck so far with the CV out to the five pin DN breakaway . One more thing, if I connect the OXI to my hydras synth using the a USB -C to B cable (l thought we weren't supposed to do this but anyway) the hydra synth is recognised straight away and appears to be fully controllable by the OXI but I’m not fully sure. I understand what the advantage in this is the hydro synth works fine by itself as it does all the time anyway and in this mode, I’ve got two devices that kind of act as one so I can’t do two things at once, and I would much prefer to make use of the USB cable as a connection to the computer because I don’t really have another way to do that other than Bluetooth
Oh, I forgot to say, none of my devices that have midi DIN have a through port, only in and out. do the outputs serve as through? Would depend on the unit I’d say -.
They take very different approaches to generative. The T1 is hands-on with knob per function, so it is very playable in a live situation. But T1 doesn't do so well for building your own sequences, or chord progressions. That's where the T1 is a more capable sequencer. It's really good at building whole songs
Hello! Could you do something like this with the Hapax (meaning: do you know/think the Hapax is capable of this kind of config w it's effects)? thanks!
