I think it’s pretty clearly the drum synth playing on the tx-6… at least my channels don’t meter like that when I’m running almost all sorts of external audio through them.
@BabbaRumBabba it’s just turned on to show it running. If you watch other demos from the bus they kind of run out of things to say after being like the new thing here is the black color. Then they say want to see the wheel spin?
classic. I got a good chuckle out of that.
timestamp to that moment actually happening right here:
woah the glory shot!
Ah, that makes sense. I’m so ready for these devices to communicate better and/or the op’s to export stems. If and when it obviously wouldn’t happen over Bluetooth but the image got me a little excited.
Side note, I wish they put an additional usb c on the field devices.
Hear me out: Euclidean sequencer mode for the synth channels. The synth sounds on this machine I think are actually pretty dope.
I may or may not be posting this from a grocery store parking lot where all I have is a TX and some headphones.
Would be cool if the faders in the drum machine on the tx-6 would work like the ones on the beat friend.
Anyone tried the tx-6 with a Linux computer? Streaming all 6 tracks to a DAW supposedly doesn’t work on windows, or has this been addressed in the meantime? Wondering if it would have the same problem on Linux.
Edit: Got the tx-6 and was able to answer my own question. The different channels show up in bitwig on my steam deck, but for some reason no audio is transmitted. 2 channel works, though.
i wonder if some of you have experienced the standalone synth of the TX6 because it’s a great generative „modular“ kind of standard waveform generator but with the synth knob layout and sampling it’s a really complex 6ch harmonic oscillator with individual outs and fx sends etc etc.
it can really do the Modular disharmony within different seq patterns/rnd trigger/resampling/detune and such…lovely with modulated op1 fx
could be possible to see TE using the already implemented midi channel per voice to expand it into a 6ch MPE Synthesizer/Sequencer.
otherwise I wish for different envelope settings per voice and rnd scale sequencing options / turing machine behavior 
I’d be happy if the voices would react to velocity. I don’t care much for the synth waves, but the drum sounds on the tx-6 are great, especially when sequenced via midi. The drum engine, decay, note and all the EQ, compressor, and filter options can be controlled with midi CC messages, so you could even have multiple sounds playing from a single track monophonically, but there’s also a few caveats. As mentioned, no velocity, which is a pity for the drum sounds, but what’s even more limiting for me is that the display jumps to the screen of whatever parameter is controlled via midi. In a way it’s nice to see what’s happening, but if you want to adjust something else like the compressor on another track, it’s impossible to see what’s happening as the display keeps jumping to whatever is controlled via midi. It would be nice to have an option to turn the reacting display off.

Cool stuff!
Can’t figure out what midi synth generator is supposed to be and I can’t find it in the manual.
Check the midi section, mentions midi note on/off settings. Close to the end of the list of manual sections
all I want is sidechainnnnn
that’s really nice with the ability to choose the new U1-6 slots within a playing sequence and the ability to chain up to 4 different sequences per track is a nice touch.
as I said it’s a great hardware companion for anything resonating like elements/rings different fx and such.
If you choose the synth knob layout it’s great to have access to some tone related things and feels great if you like some rnd sequencing or now some own patterns.
cc mode is great, per knob settings for channel and cc
I don‘t know if one can live record to sequences.
link mode 
maybe midi synth generator is something hidden?
ah, it’s a midi note generator based on the actual sequence but great because the length can be affected and that’s a gate for the external synth (op-Z) but unfortunately there’s no way to set the pitch remotely within a user pattern and also no external pitch control in drone mode.
shift and encoder isn‘t setting a note, it’s transposing the actual root note in a sequence up to 64 steps per track
you can play it but it won‘t hold the last played note or let you enter a note entry remotely 
motion. 
.
CC could open up a thing where it’s possible to control all values remotely via CC on the op-1f, combined with that new tx6 hardware sequencer ^^
the sequencer is great for chord progressions over time but some kind of envelope maybe a looping a/d per voice would be neat. with long droney attack/decay times and short to create more fills/ghost notes and such…at audio rate it could be used to modulate the simple voices /fm/am
I can see this getting a digital pocket modular system, basically it is anything if you sample your own sounds.
nice find is that the Filter fx (slot 2) acts like a resonator, if you turn the res between 92-99 and cutoff to 12o‘clock, you can shift the frequency idk +/- 3 octaves in either direction. that could expand into a modal resonator because it’s quiet there
it‘s no problem at all to add plaits or clouds within miRack, TX6 is able to send and control pitch per channel, trigger per channel, cc per knob and therefore it’s an easy task to add plaits to one channel with control over freq (v/oct), model (cc1) and timbre (cc2) into clouds also mapped to v/oct, density and texture.
in play mode you‘ll gain access to simply trigger VCV modules via track button, easy to dial in chords to trigger them manually but also to trigger clouds trig or freeze input.
with background audio it’s like it’s inside the TX6, powerful 
iam such a fanboy, great update 
OP-1f currently just accepts four configurable CCs via the midi LFO, as well as note, pitch bend, and velocity per synth or drum patch. What you suggest is about as far a stretch as one can make from the current state of things 
Streaming the four tape tracks to the tx-6 would be cool, if that’s in any way technically possible with the OP-1f hardware. But then again, this would take up the USB slot on the tx-6 which makes multi-track recording impossible.
I appreciate the recent firmware update, but 90% of the added functionality is mostly too fiddly to be of any use to me. I’d rather sequence the drum sounds on the tx-6 via midi rather than trying to program something worthwhile with the limited amount of buttons, knobs and screen real estate on the device.
indeed. but the way it’s laid out and the functionality in general is really inspiring to work with, once you‘re triggering 6 individual plaits modules from the lil tx6 you‘ll see yourself not programming as much as you think because the way of preparing patterns, hiding, transposing, opening and actually listening to what you do is really performative implemented.
it’s now a hardware sequencer
