Weird doesn’t work for me with a usb c cable directly between op-xy and monolit, but does work using when I connect them with a computer between them (using midi pipe). I’m talking to light reft about why and a fix. Would be keen to see a video where u have it working.
I almost feel XY has some west coast vibes to sound design on it… quality is certainly there to my ear but yeah it’s not the same sort of deep dive as on an elektron. Elektron stuff still doesn’t really get into the proper mod matrix depth that you expect out of a flagship sound design synth. So I guess it depends on how much is enough for you… I feel like deep sound design in elektrons always had a bit of the dog chasing its tail effect on me, like tweaking one sound leads me down the path of tweaking all the other sounds and then I am back to tweaking the first sound again. So now I tend to reach for a dedicated synth or the modular for more depth in my sound design… maybe knowing I have all that makes it easier to be happy abusing the built in xy engines also.
