No, not unless I plug something into the jack. Then the internal mic works.
To be clear, the mic works, and I can sample from it, but I cannot hear the incoming audio through my headphones. I can hear the recorded sample just fine though
Weird, are you on v. 1.0.9? I can monitor both the jack input (just realized that I was using USB-C from OP-1 but input jack works too) and the internal mic, provided that it’s selected in AUX 5. If I go to sampling mode, I can still monitor the jack and internal mic.
Sounds like a problem with mine. I am on 1.0.9. Will try a factory reset.
Did anyone with the bend issue try to lower the modwheel amount in the preset properties (Shift + Synth 1-8)? It’s per preset but maybe it helps?
More weirdness. If I plug in a headset with a mic (I’m using an old pair of Apple earpods), it also works to activate the monitoring for the internal mic.
Also, when the monitoring is not working, the little white LED level meter also doesn’t work.
I guess I’ll write to TE on monday. It’s not as super big deal yet
Did anyone try out multisampling yet? It seems to be pretty buggy. Sometimes samples do not seem to be saved and playing them also does not work. It works again after restarting the device.

Have you tried going into the AUX mixer? If the volume on AUX 5 is at 0 you won’t be able to monitor. Just found that there’s a separate mixer page for the aux tracks

Starting to regret my order and worry about reliability. I know TE is good at fixing issues when discovered, but I really don’t want to wait for repair or exchange. Especially not immediately on receiving the OP-XY.

That what @midnightoperator94 was doing, but then it also had to be done per-preset and to save you’d end up with duplicates of the existing presets.
Still no!
Is there a way to do quantised audio clip recording? Like, automate the start of recording, even with 20 second limit?
I never understood the rants about the sound quality of the OP-Z… Sure, the synth engines are simple and need some work to make them sound interesting, but the sound quality of the machine is insane, it’s pristine with a lot of headroom! The sound is way more hi-fi than the OP-1, and with the master overdrive and limiter it can sound quite warm too.
This is what I did with almost exclusively the built-in OPZ samples & engines. Each track is a single pattern, making extensive use of the steps components and mute groups:

I think you might need to be on the latest firmware update. I need to re-test after I updated, but I did see notes in the latest firmware about fixing some midi issues. Latest being not the stock firmware it comes with. I haven’t had a chance to test yet.
I made a video a few posts above this, and a few posts below the one you replied too, can you see it?

Actually I was lowering the pitchbend range setting
Envelope page + shift then it’s the light grey encoder.
Mod wheel and pitchbend range on the inst settings page for most of these presets I was seeing was set to 0 and when I messed with them it didn’t make any difference 
I was under the impression those are settings for external midi inputs, like from a keyboard

I can’t monitor the internal mic also. I can monitor an iPad with USB cable between the two.
Tried USB to TX-6 and can’t monitor internal mic on XY either from TX-6 headphones.

Multisample time/data limits
How did you do this though? There’s no way to tell file size on the device, so do you just have to guess and shoot for ~40 seconds?
That seems like it should be reworked to enable users to more easily multisample without running into issues.
Like if you want to multisample somewhere outside, or a piano in a hall, etc you’ll have to also be counting seconds and samples to make sure you don’t go over, but there is no notification or ‘stop’ point notifying that you’ve sampled too much?
Maybe a multisample setup screen would be helpful? Where you can initially specify how many samples you want to take and that way it breaks it up evenly for you?

Completely agree,. I understand people might not like the sound engine options of the OP-Z, but it can sound amazingly clear and loud in the right hands.

note data limits per pattern
I experienced a limitation I haven’t seen documentation for yet. Essentially, I ran into a note data limit on a pattern where it just stopped recording in note data after some time.
To find this, I had set a track to maximum length (4 bars + bar length 16), and began playing in live over a sequenced drum and bass pattern.
around the halfway point the track stopped recording in notes, but record remained armed and red (and I hadn’t pressed any buttons)
So I figure I hit the maximum note count possible. Tested it a couple more times and found that if I smashed in a bunch of notes it didn’t last long at all, like 8ish bars (again, tons of notes)
Maybe I missed it but I don’t recall hearing or thinking that there was a pattern data maximum?

Yes I agree that T.E. should make this more clear and I guess it will eventually be in the manual or they make some kind of time limitation which doesn’t really seem to be there now.
I personally hope they make something like the Roland P6 where you can choose a sample rate to get more stuff into that available time limitation.
Anyway, if there is one thing I use a computer for it’s for sample preparing, editing and resampling. You can easily see if you exceed the 6,7 megabytes on a computer so I use that instead until the multisample engine is more worked out.
Keep in mind it’s still early days for that multi sample engine.
