I only tried over BLE which works nicely, I believe you can also sync clock and start/stop to elektron devices over usb, but have personally not tried it yet, perhaps someone else here?

I use start/stop (and tempo sync) over USB - The TX-6 is connected to a Faderfox PC12 via USB, which has one of its DIN MIDI out ports connected to an Octatrack. I route the clock/start/stop to the OT this way and it works great. When I use beat detect I want the TX to be the master clock, and if not, the OT and thatās possible this way.

nice setup! only downside to me would be that you canāt use the usb from TX-6 anymore for multitrack recording then
Some usb-c hub would do the trick?
Just curious, I know the TX-6 syncs to BPM over audio pretty well, but does it send a Run/Start message out the USB Port as soon as it picks up this BPM?
When this is not implemented, youād have some parallel action going on - two sources will share the same BPM, but will not align correctly unless they are started manually.
Does anyone know of this is possible?
Not many devices send the Run/Stop signal when clocking this way - itās a very important thing to leave out.
I hope they add even more fx to it, and more variations for each effect. Theyāre really nice quality and Iām all for more more more! They add so much to the experience.
no it doesnt.
it has been sent as a feature request though, i would like this as well.

Strange to me that the hi hat sequencer on the tx6 doesnāt have an option for a beat at the 3,7,11,15 mark!

Iām disappointed with the direction TE is going with this unit. Iāve been waiting on some updates because Iām interested in it, but I want to see things like assignable side-chaining so selected channels can side-chain one another or more useful FX being added like a noise gate per channel.
I think they should update it so it can act as a high-fidelity iPod with a nice interface for playing audio files from a usb drive. Wasting time adding things like this game is making the TX-6 seem less appealing to me.

To be fair, the game has always been there, this isnāt a new update just for the game. Theyāre just finally sending out marketing emails about it. So itās not like their most recent efforts have been towards creating this game 
Based on actual update history it seems like they really are focused with functional updates on the TX-6, I would expect those to continue!

I wish something like this worked with it. Itās so handy for some of my other portable gear. It works great with the opz!
I agree, its a shame/pity that one of the aux outputs can not also send out midi over TRS. how awesome would that be.

Itās my biggest con for this. The knobs are also too small for my fingers to use comfortably and I donāt think I have huge hands or anything.
Is adding midi over aux something thatās even possible to add via an update? Or is that a hardware limitation?

Yeah, I havenāt used it but the auto detect bpm feature seems really dope. Would have been great for my Monotribe that I sold several years ago.
Funny I used it with a monotribe this morning for the first time using bpm match and it was awesome!

If they made it a bit larger with more user friendly sized knobs and faders, Iād buy one. Really enjoying my OB-4, Pocket Operators and OP-1 as quirky as they are to use.
If you already have quirky devices you enjoy the tx-6 will be fine. I must say the knobs are way better usable than i thought and i have thick fingers.
The small size and good battery life are awesome, it makes an entire setup so portable!
Edit and if you already own an op-1 and po -ād ob-4 the tx6 is a no brainer
