Oxi showed up a couple days earlier than expected. Not mentally prepared to dive in and try to figure this thing out, but I’m diving in anyway

Maybe I’m blind but I can’t find this information : what is the fastest resolution of the sequencer ? Can you insert 1/64 or 1/128 notes, or faster than that like the Pyramid ?
Well, not many Oxi users around here, or maybe my english is not very good. Basically I just want to know if you can zoom in to a 1/64 grid division and more or is it limited to 1/32 ?
Sorry I can’t be more helpful. Just got my Oxi a couple days ago and am still pretty lost

As you say, you can only zoom in to 1/32, though the ppq is higher than that. @OxiInstruments, would you be able to assist? 
Anything specific? I may be able to help.

Have been getting on very well with the Oxi One - definitely the sequencer I hoped it would be coming moving from a NDLR. Same generative tools and ease/speed of getting something going, with a whole bunch more control and tricks up its sleeve.
The quick start guide that comes with it is really useful in answering some of the more obvious questions but deifnitely worth grabbing the latest manual as the firmware has moved on a bit from when the quick start guide was printed.
I’m exploring a pre-release firmware now and it’s very cool!!
Works so well with Eurorack and having the extra CV/Gates in the Pipe is like having a whole other modulation source in the rack.
Still learning my way around - it’s a deep sequencer - but didn’t find it hard to get going with the basic stuff I wanted right away. You defintiely have to learn it though, there will be a lot of things that aren’t immediately obvious - there’s some muscle memory involved.

Oh ok, thanks for your answer, that’s too bad because I find the 1600% zoom on the Pyramid really cool for sound design, it’s a tool I use all the time. Well, I guess the Oxi one won’t replace my Pyramid then.
One of the best things about OXI is that the development team are very response and passionate about this product, new firmware’s are coming pretty fast with amazing new features…it may be something that can be added in the future (The OXI dev’s post here so you may get an answer!)

Wow, that’s quite a zoom. I wouldn’t use a feature like that myself but can imagine how it could be useful for super intricate percussion or incidental notes etc.
As @SLiC said, the Oxi team are super responsive and eager to deliver on updates and fixes. The last update added a completely unexpected ‘mode within a mode’ which was a version of MI Grids within the Multi sequencer, and the update before that added the Stochastic sequencer. I’m personally hoping to see a Cartesian sequencer mode like the Make Noise Rene - on a 16/8 grid you could fit eight little Rene sequencers all going at once, each assigned to different things. Now THAT would be cool for sound design!

Ok, I’ll keep an eye on the Oxi, maybe one day good zooming functions will be implemented. When I say it’s too bad, it’s because otherwise, it seems to be the perfect sequencer for me.
It’s so good, glad you like it otherwise. I’d be interested to know what you do with such a deep zoom feature, as it’s not something I have ever found to be of interest. Maybe I can learn a thing or two!

I wasn’t sworn to any secrency so I feel comfortable mentioning that the next update (2.1) has a bunch of Mod improvements that I’m quite excited to explore I have the firmware to explore later today I’m pretty stoked about it.
Me too actually! I guess things like rolls and more natural timing? I do like the microtiming tools on the Digitakt, having something like that wuld be dope.

Yeah, rolls, sweeps, evolving textures, micro-editing… for me it’s always nice to push the boundaries of a synth.
But you can do those with the current resolution unless I misunderstand what you want.
You have 128 steps per sequencer and each step has an offset of 80 steps (40+/-) with 5 retriggers or more with the Arp.

Is that an offset available on an encoder with a long press on a step? I need to try that I missed it myself!
While I am waiting I read in their forums and their chat and I think its not a problem to just ask them directly about stuff you want to do. Maybe there is no ZOOM but a different way to do exactly what you do, or it is possible to do in a future update. Manuel (the head behind Oxi) is quite open for communication it seems. Maybe just send them an email. And be open to wait a little for an answer as they are in the middle of shipping the latest batch and should be already in Berlin for Superbooth now.
On top of that, some Oxi-Peope or at least some Oxi-Near-People write here too.

Hold a step and press shift - or the other way around, then the Offset will appear.

@Zelio Regarding zoom in, that’s something that doesn’t exist per se in OXI One.
You have up to 128 steps, each step can have one event input with quite a lot per step parameters (this includes retriggers, arp and +/- timing offset of 40 values).
The function ‘Extend’ does exactly what it says. It may look like a zoom in but in reality the pattern is extended to twice the length with the time division halving. Once you reach the 128 steps you can no longer extend. Having ‘zoom in’ means to have many more steps “hidden” between each step with all their per step parameters, this means to store and recall multiple (depending on zoom depth) times the amount of data per sequencer (1-4), something not possible due to hardware limitations.
That said, micro timing and optional quantisation (ranged from 0 to 100%) is implemented, as @Soarer said, with retriggers and arp. While not independent events in the length of a step, you can have multiple offset ones, a lot to play with IMHO.

I am looking at the same move, although there are other units I have in mind (Torso T1).
What would you say is a game changer in terms of added functionality?
I am using the NDLR as a generative ambient sequencer but also for Techno related style.
My current setup:
Moog DFAM
Ericasynths DB-01
Waldorf Streichfett
ASM Hydrasynth
Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 on the way
OT as clock master feeding DN and DT
Not looking for an exhaustive list of details but anything that comes to your mind would be great to hear as a NDLR user 
Definite game changer! It can basically do everything the NDLR can do with a whole bunch more layered on top - I wanted to personally take a lot more control over the performance and this really enables me to do that. Creating and editing sequences and rythms is so much easier and you can actually divide the rate, as well as just multiply it (this always annoyed me on NDLR, as I suspect it might if you do ambient stuff).
The functionality I’m enjoying the most right now is the mod lanes - you get 4 mod lanes per sequencer (and they’re being improved with the latest update), this enables some really interesting inter-sequence sequencing for external modulation - i.e. just as useful over MIDI as it is via CV. That’s in addition to your sequence LFO.
The harmoniser feature on the Oxi is basically NDLR mode.
I briefly looked at the T1 but it’s really just a euclidian generator. Oxi can do euclidian but it can also do a whole lot more.
