I hooked up my HX Stomp and could choose the input channel. All I heard was white noise but it seems that was a HX Stomp/me issue given you’ve got it working with DT2.
It could be the op1. I just tested very quickly without listening but I saw the level meter jump. Will test properly in the morning
My Presonus AudioBox iTwo sounds like white noise… I thought I’ve previously used it though. 
works fine with Blue Yeti and Zoom H1n.
You can roll back firmware updates, can’t you? Install older versions? Might backup, then do that to test. If the presonus works on older firmware I’ll give them that feedback.
Interesting. I’ll try again with HX Stomp and DT2 as soon as I can and report back. Hopefully in the morning but most likely on Sunday.
I wonder if this is a precursor to an update that might allow all tracks from the OP-1 to stream into the TX-6 or TP-7 for live mixing and / or recording.
I’m still holding onto my TE gear because if that happens, I might go back to doing more tracks with hardware again.

OK, so I tested again:
- Connecting the NI Komplete Audio 6 (6 inputs, one of them digital), I can change the inputs as described before, but there is immediate and persistent white noise, no way around it. So a bug.
- I tried with the Syntakt. It works very well with imperceptible latency and clean sound, as long as I have the output plugged in. If I don’t and use the onboard speaker, when you get close to zero (from -) on the input gain at the OP-1 input screen you get feedback. Probably another bug.
this isn’t a totally uneducated guess… but maybe like a 99% uneducated guess- i don’t think the tx-6 has the ability to ever multitrack record to a usb stick, the speeds to the stick aren’t fast enough. but yeah it would still be great to have the op-1f stream its 4 tracks live to the tx-6 where you could use the effects on the different tracks and then stereo record the master out or then also route the op-1f through the (now 2) aux sends, etc.
guessing that it would be super clever for te to allow multitrack recording direct from op-1f to tp-7… it would be one of the holy grails crossed off the list to get op-1 multitracks out… though of course everyone would be so mad you have to buy a tp-7… which would of course drive sales of tp-7 and also give it more of a reason to exist than it currently has. though i have heard from 3 sources of this fabled upcoming legendary update for the tp-7 which will flesh it out a lot more than it is now.

or even to dump the tape track files over to the TP-7 (or any flash device) would achieve the same result?

Yeah, I’m thinking this will happen at some point -
OP-1 Field streams to TX-6 for mixing but not recording other than stereo to stick
OP-1 Field streams to TP-7 to record its four tracks all at once
TP-7 and TX-6 already stream between each other, so that’s taken care of. It’s the bridge to and from OP-1 that’s missing.
How I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they talk about this, if it’s a “Whoo, that’s going to be real difficult” or “Can be done tomorrow, but because of reasons, we’re not doing it. Yet. Or ever.”
I’m actually thinking the first one. I think it can be done, but it’s tough so they haven’t nailed it yet and I think they’re going for it - but no way will they ever allow a workflow that would make the TX-6 or TP-7 redundant for a complete mix, master and record workflow. You’re gonna need them all. They’ll just make it a lot easier than it is now, if you have them all.

That would also work.
Being someone who owns all three of these, anything that would just get the OP-1 Field stuff into the TP-7 without just repeating the process four times, would be enough. I don’t mind the TP-7 being the bridge to the TX-6 for multitrack mixing, if that’s what TE is going for, but if so, then bridge the gap from OP-1 Field to TP-7.
Like, it’s cool than the TX-6 got sampling and all. But it’s not all that useful… So enough with the hipster features now and work on the functional stuff, to keep justifying the price tag.
Which I might add, has always been a strong thing with TE. I like their funky deviations, but their best products are at heart, very functionally strong as well. You don’t pay just for design and experience, you pay for a proper tool.

hmm… i’m having problems getting the OP1F connecting and working nice with Digitakt II. They both work fine via USB with Ableton/Mac, both audio and midi, but when paired together, they do not. If I watch the connection in SHIFT-COM, I see the USB symbol appear and stay when connecting to the Mac, but when I do the same with the Digitakt II it appears for a second and then disappears.
I have
- MIDI/AUDIO IN/OUT set in USB config
- USB IN Main and USB OUT Main set in Audio Routing
Am I missing something or is there an issue between the two devices.
I have the same cable as noted here, but have also tried the supplied cable with a dongle.
Firmware 1.5.7 dropped today however it is not in the update utility yet. Just a bug fix release:
- USB audio enumeration fixes (solves audio exchange with OP-Z and more)

I didn’t really do anything special other than update to the 1.5.5 release for the Field. I didn’t work before that firmware release. Are you running 1.5.5?
Or I guess 1.5.7 now…
Updated the firmware to 1.5.7 and now audio through USB works from OP-1F to M8. Only worked from M8 to OP1-F with the previous update. So audio and MIDI works both ways through USB between OP-1F and M8.

For anyone wondering there is still the same issue when I connect my 6 input interface (NI Komplete Audio 6 MK1). Just max DB white noise coming through.
I waiting on my M8 v2 - does this include live midi recording from the Field into the M8?
I’m ultimately hoping to have audio and midi running between the two and to be able to play/input notes into the tracker via the Field (pref with audio of the triggered synth). I couldn’t get that all working when I last tried some months back.

I believe Trash saying its a problem on TEs end and he sent them a M8 to test and hopefully fix compatibility but god knows wether that results in anything

Just upgraded to 1.5.7, but sadly no difference.
The M8 does record MIDI from the OP-1F. While M8 is playing the notes get recorded into M8 depending on the track you have configured to record MIDI on and audio gets triggered. Not sure if it’s good to that as it fills in every note on the M8 as it’s stepping through the track. Unless I misunderstood what you are trying to do.

I’ll have to look again, but I had it running for most of the day when I had the OP-1f directly connected the DT ][. I’ll try and record a video to cover what I’m doing.
