Those cables are for the RF (radio frequency) connectors (I-PEX?) that provide functionality for the radio, BLE etc. so they need to be properly isolated against noise and need to keep a certain shape AFAIK. So yeah, it looks neat, but purely functional.

Iām trying to use my OP-1F as a live looper with my OP-XY connected and Iām running into a really dumb problem.
Basically what I want to do is to be able to start recording in the middle of a song (rec + play on the OP-1F) and then disable the recording when done to let it loop.
I have the OP-1F set as master and the OP-XY set as slave basically.
I hit play on the OP-1f, transport starts, all is good. When I start the recorder by pressing Rec + Play, the OP-1F correctly continues at itās current location but when I hit the play button, it restarts the OP-XY from the beginning of the song.
Same thing happens when I try to end the recording by pressing play.
This seems really dumb - I donāt understand why the OP-1f would send a message to restart when it wasnāt doing that itself.
I think you need to set the xy as the master clock in that case.

The way Iāve done it is to hit play on op-1f so both devices are playing then hold down the record button (instead of rec + play) the duration of when you want to record op-xy to the op-1f.
Can you hit the record button to stop recording, instead of play?
I think this is the way it has to be doneā¦
the midi protocol has been nearly identical since ancient OP1 times. beside the fact that there are more settings for the routing, the actual midi base is still unstable, often resulting in a freezing state whereās the only solution to power cycle.
I canāt imagine someone at TE plugging the TX-6 via USBC only, using the midi machine and not discovering a lot of circumstances. itās freezing all over the place. regardless of the settings, that setting switch alone seems to overwhelm anything in connection, it is getting sluggish until itās frozen.
midi lfo doesnāt show the actual midi Input value, which is a big help on the og1, you could see uni/bipolar cv inputs redirected by QuNexus cv to midi inputs. 
i hope it has been silent because theyāve done it all in one final take 
Iāve always found using the OP-1F with clock in causes drift, will give it a try.
No, just pressing rec doesnāt stop the recording

That would work but I need both hands (playing bass).
Maybe I just need to buy a Torso S-4 for this lol
I am trying to figure out of there is a way to disable charging while using the Field with USB. I am getting some noise when using it with my M8, and the noise disappears when disconnecting the USB.
It feels like it should be possible in the shift COM menu, but canāt get the lightning sign to disappear. Anyone know if it is possible? Was on the OG right ?
Press Shift + COM then press in on the fourth encoder to toggle USB charging.

Ok , it is strange because that was my first thought, but it doesnāt toggle of for some reason pressing that encoder. Have been pressing and turning all encoders like crazy
I donāt think it works on the Field for some reason. The original mentions thatās how you disable it but I have never been able to with my Field. I went through this whole process a while ago and could never get it working.
Well TEās price promotion campaign seems to have forced down used prices to the point where they are just about tenable (whilst not noticeably destroying prices for the original nearly as much). So have pulled the trigger on a nice clean OP-1F to take on holiday with me. And stuck my OG OP-1 on eBay to hopefully claw back about half the cost. Fingers crossed.
Playing with the OG just now, for the first time in ages, struck again by just what a cool little device this thing is/was. I hope the Field keeps a little bit of that charm.

5moons looks interesting, but I would prefer not to lug another device, also there are similar asynchronous loopers for Monome Norns I think , have to dig a bit into that

Is it possible to sync the delay times?
Nope, you have to go by ear

Hey everyone,
I recently went camping in Norway and had my OP-1 Field with me. I was sleeping in a tent, and the next morning I noticed some moisture on the screen. I got a bit worried it mightāve been damaged, so I didnāt turn it on for the whole day to let it dry out completely. And the next day I could use it with no issue.
In preparation for the last night in the tent, I bought a dry bag, put the OP-1 Field inside it, and kept it in my sleeping bag overnight. After that night, I didnāt see any moisture at all. So thatās definitely what Iāll be doing next time I take it camping.
It got me thinking about the build quality. The aluminum body makes it feel really solid, but Iām curious how well it actually handles things like moisture or condensation. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
