Common OP-XY Questions
How do I sync the OP-XY with external MIDI devices like drum machines or DAWs?
In settings, select 'MIDI Sync' and set the OP-XY to either 'Master' (to send clock) or 'Slave' (to receive clock). Ensure the MIDI channel settings are compatible with your other devices.
How do I save my custom patterns, presets, and kits on the OP-XY?
Use the onboard storage to save patterns and kits independently. Presets are saved as part of the kit, ensuring sounds stay with the pattern.
How do I quickly switch between different kits and patterns during a live performance?
Use the dedicated buttons for quick pattern selection and the 'kit select' knob to change kits on the fly without interrupting the sequence.
My OP-XY screen is frozen or unresponsive. What can I do to fix it?
Try performing a hard reset by holding the power button for an extended period (around 10 seconds) until the device restarts. If the problem persists, contact Teenage Engineering support.
What is the XY pad used for, and how can I incorporate it into my performances?
The XY pad allows for real-time control over two assignable parameters (e.g., filter cutoff, resonance, or effect send); assign parameters via the modulation matrix for expressive sound manipulation.
