Use an audio interface with the OP-XY
Plug a class-compliant USB audio interface into the OP-XY; the main output plays through it, inputs 1–2 are used by default, and the sample page or the external audio track takes it as the usb source.
Here the OP-XY is the USB host, the reverse of connecting it to a computer. The interface adds better outputs for studio or stage and more inputs for sampling and live processing.
How to
Sample from other interface inputs
- 1 usb source
- 2 input channel
Monitor the interface's input through the OP-XY
- 1 usb audio
- 2 activates the input
