Can snapshots and groups be assigned across pages? So that a knob on page 1 controls parameters on pages 2 and 3 too?
That would be great for organization, having snapshots and group leads on the first page, and all individual parameters on the following pages. Has anyone tried this already? Couldn’t find info about this in the manual, but maybe I’ve overlooked something.
AFAIK, this is not possible. But it’s something I’ve seen requested on the Oxi Discord, so they are likely aware that it’s something people are interested in. The most recent update was relatively minor, but the next update (or two) is said to have some “cool new features coming soon”. Maybe that’s one of them?
Just to explain. I’ve been using elektrons for a decade and last night I decided to check out the performance macros on the digi boxes for the first time. Suddenly all of the pattern based limitations of these boxes are gone. My minds blown. Also a bit sad / annoyed I didn’t get on this sooner.
Has anyone got their hands on this and the drop? If money wasn’t a concern is the drop significantly better and worth the extra footprint?
My NLC XL went back, DAW modes didn’t work and more importantly, it wouldn’t receive midi data from the Octa to update encoder positions following the cc61 transmission; hopefully the E16 can handle this.
CC61 to the OTII is a send request but whether the controller acts on the device dump is a different matter. I’ve just returned a Launch Control XL 3 because it couldn’t do this, so have been eying up the OXI E16 for this…
Excuse the likely silly question, but if I used an E16 as a controller for a hardware instrument (a 1010 Nanobox Tangerine in this case) is there a way to get the light rings to illustrate the current values within the hardware its controlling, even if those values change (such as if the patch changes)? Or is E16 only able to do that while controlling software?
For example, one thing I’m looking for is to map a knob to a track’s filter on the Tangerine, and be able to tell what the filter is current set to without having to press the button.
My assumption is that this couldn’t work over TRS MIDI, because the Tangerine wouldn’t be sending any such information to the controller, but if I were to connect them by USB could I make that happen?
it depends. the e16 supports it, but the tangerine needs to broadcast its cc values over midi (USB or otherwise). this is often referred to as midi feedback.
in short, I’m unsure if the tangerine allows this. You’d have to check the manual or check around online.
