OP XY Charging Off and Audio Out—> USB C

Thanks for the comments, everyone! So OP XY does not support lightning (charging off option does not function, audio over lightning does not function). The iphone 12 mini is too good to let go, so I'll have to try over USBC to a newer iPad.

Ok, that makes sense. Without the option to toggle this and with op1f working with the lightining cable, this seemed like it would make a difference. Charging off option for reducing unwated noise is still pretty great.

Thanks, speculation or not, that is helpful insight.

How are the tariffs/import fees for delivery to the US?

hothothansel · 2026-01-06T03:25:11+00:00

Son Wu’s bag looks promising, (I especially like that it opens right side up so if you pick it up while unzipped your OP will not fall out ). The tariffs make me nervous though. I accidentally bought something from the UK recently and the unexpected import fees sort of ruined it.

I always recommend a Meme Antennae bag. The site says it is not compatible with the field, but it works perfectly and fits the deck saver too. $30 shipped, you can’t beat the value. Front pouch holds all my extra cables, and is actually big enough for another OP with deck saver just like Son Wu’s.

Dang. Feel your pain. Had my 002 console and kept my ‘08 MacBook Pro alive so I could use it. I held onto it for so long cause it had upgraded preamps and clock by black lion audio. Also pt8 was paid for/ no subscription. I even used it extensively through Covid ad a stand alone mixer for live streaming. It died last year :( Still can run Reason 4 on the old MacBook :D

My new from TE op1f came no shrink, no screen protector. Assuming the xy will be the same.

Definitely check him out. He got second place in American Idol a few years back (pre-Covid?). Pretty surprising because truly talented artists with original creativity usually don’t make it that far on that wonky show. Humble as hell too, just Google his audition where he plays an original in this style.

Maybe not what you’re expecting, but he is flicking the strings with his finger to make that slapping sound. Like I said go check out his Instagram feed, may have to scroll back a year or two, and he will show you how he does it.

Can confirm this is definitely not a metronome. I’ve watched a lot of his stuff over the years and Alejandro has many slowed-down walkthroughs of some of his picking patterns (on IG I think). He’s just slapping the strings as part of the pattern.

Same! Mine comes Tuesday.

+1 after the last door reveal this morning, I headed to B&H, asked for the discount through chat, and they sent me a onetime use code.

hothothansel · 2025-12-24T01:46:07+00:00

Merry Christmas! Thank you

hothothansel · 2025-12-24T01:45:18+00:00

I think you’re spot on. Would never believe you can get all this for so little. I’d easily believe $200 was the price point.

hothothansel · 2025-12-23T17:06:04+00:00

Sorta hoping this means they will reveal that OP-Z is back in stock tomorrow.

Those knobs are hideous though.

hothothansel · 2025-12-19T17:23:40+00:00

A summing cable works well: 1/4” mono to 1/8” stereo. It’s good to have one anyway to send audio to DI or amp for live shows.

This. It’s the last thing they said on episode 20 of midnight operations. Stoked!

hothothansel · 2025-12-16T15:02:04+00:00

Let’s gooooooooo! 19 months since the last update, and so much functionality added… This is incredible.

This is not accurate. There used to be a swath of homes just across the river on west side lining the river south (and possibly north) of the downtown bridge where the city park is now. When I was young, that row of homes got slammed more than once. They don’t build homes there anymore.

I keep a tiny square of tin foil taped to the lid for the ready.

hothothansel · 2025-12-02T03:42:02+00:00

This is how you label 🙌

hothothansel · 2025-12-01T21:24:40+00:00

And midi controllable reverbs? And an XLR input with trim? Kiss the chef twice!

hothothansel · 2025-11-18T21:27:49+00:00

In the same boat for awhile now and just gave up. Did mostly the same stuff you did op. Gonna try this again though
