Hi, I am thinking about getting the Oxi One, but I need the feature from the Pyramid where you can play a chord on an external keyboard and then place it on one of the pads in the sequence. I am not sure that I am explaining it correctly, but the chord is saved to memory and then stored if you wish. My question is: can the Oxi one also do this?
And I don’t mean the pick and place chords from the internal keyboard - it needs to be external.
You should be able to hold a trig and play an external keyboard to assign notes to that trig. You could then copy that trig as you like. I don’t think it saves the chord in memory for you to assign at your leisure.
I do have an Oxi One but I do all of my programming on the device without external assistance.
OXI one has a chord-mode with a couple of preset-chords and inversions. Those can be played directly using the “chord-keyboard”-mode.
There are “user chord slots” as well. Chords can be recorded as well per step.
The polyphonic mode for a track allows chord recording. It’s 7 notes per step.
I suggest download the user manual and check out if the workflow is for you.
I did download it and read it. It doesn’t specify whether I can play chords on an external keyboard and quickly step sequence them. I was therefore wondering if anyone has tried this?
Did a short-check: seems to work
- MIDI-Out-Keyboard → MIDI-In-OXI
- MIDI-Out-OXI → MIDI-In-Synth
Pressing more than one key simultaneously is transmitted - visible in OXI-Keyboard-Mode
This worked for me for step recording activated:
- press and hold down a step button
- play the chord on the keyboard
- release step button
- chord recorded
Hope this helps
Thank you! This definitely helps!
