Using the OP-XY with other gear

[Instant_Fidelity]

I’ve used the OP-1 Field and the XY a good bit so far. Some samples I might want to mangle a little more or add more effects, so I do this on the Field and then record them to the XY.

Used the Zoom MS70 CDR for another external fx chain. Handy to have and mine’s super portable too as I’ve modded it to have 3.5mm TRS jacks alongside the larger mono ones. See here:

Just sharing my modified MS70 CDR pedal. I use it with a smaller portable setup where I mostly use 3.5mm stereo cables, so I opened it up and added two 3.5mm stereo jacks for in/out. I was also annoyed the way it always just turned on when the batteries were inserted (due to the way it detects the new stereo input), so I also added a power switch too. It’s crude and sticks out, but there’s not a lot of room in there to be adding components and it’s the only place I could fit it really. I’ve …

I’m also using the XY with Arturia V Collection too. Mostly at the moment by sampling, but plan to set up MIDI too. The XY with the Legion Go running a DAW, etc. is still a small portable setup.

The best one for me though is the Faderfox UC4 MIDI controller. I’ve mapped the 8 buttons on the bottom to be temp mutes, the 8 faders are track volumes and then I’ve got the encoders mapped to some synth params. Haven’t figured a way to map the crossfade style fader to the EQ properly though yet. But the UC4 makes performing with the XY much easier.
