I was going to say dickhead…

the dude who correctly called the ep1320 release on reddit months before the leaked photo is now saying that something new is coming in two weeks. shall we start the hype now or do we wanna wait.

ill start: “if there isnt an update before they release a new product, im gonna poop my pants, on god”

I’m with you man, we need an update before the next release! Seriously thought we would see one after or with the Medieval release. Arp and resample would be so dope.

If they don’t have resampling I’m gonna poop someone else’s pants.

to throw out my internet barely informed guess, i’d say its op-z field and maybe a ep133 update, we are coming up on the one year mark so some kinda update could be possible. maybe something that adds some connectivity with an op-z field like audio over usb

Is this related to the OP-XY patent filing that’s been posted elsewhere?

Where is this mysterious folk making these prophetic postings?

There’s this OP-XY FCC report have been released

https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/Z23033A/

Does this have info that points to what kind of device it is? I just looked through, but it’s not my wheelhouse lol

i think the OP-XY title is enough to imply an op-z successor, i was wondering what they would call it because op-zf/op-z field sounds bad. OP-XY feels fun and on brand

im pretty comfy with my setup so im hoping im not enamored by it. i wasnt a huge fan of the op-z when i had it, but i also didnt really put much time or effort into it.

I have a feeling that it might be something like tenori on. you know x axis, y axis. and assuming opz was only z axis.

thats a cool idea, some kinda monome grids type deal could be a nifty departure from the norm (norn)

hmm… cartesian sequencing a la mn rené with the generative magic tricks of the op-z, that could make a lot of sense… 🫢

EP-133 was featured in Apple’s Mac Mini launch video

So are you a producer or coder?

Koala Integration?

Garret Wilke reverse engineered the SysEx sequence to load samples onto the EP-133. Theoretically I think anyone could write a companion iPhone app to load samples and directly manipulate sample settings such as trim start/end, root note, etc over USB-MIDI.

I figured who better to ask than Marek at elf audio to bring EP-133 integration to Koala? He said that his primary focus was on their current roadmap, but I think an elf+TE would certainly be amazing and help address some of the current EP-133 workflow limitations, such as re-sampling.

What do you think an EP-133+Koala workflow would look like?

@te-david Thoughts? Could you document the EP-133 SysEx messages so that 3rd party apps could bounce audio to/from the KO2? Would also love to see audio-over-USB so that I could pair with an iOS synth and not hit polyphony limitations.

Need some help with KO II input, what cable are people using for older gear with mono output?

My Boss DR-55 and TR 606 both only coming in left side with mono or trs cable in to the KO II

hi, will try find time to document it or provide a js library. reason not doing it so far is that we still want to be able to do change to it without breaking third-party apps, so it’s a trade-off offering it, but in return limiting us what we can do.

we also looking at alternatives to webmidi since apple/safari is still uninterested supporting it. chrome has issues with usb/connection events, so the experience can sometimes be a bit so so…
