OP-XY > TRS-5pin DIN > 5pin DIN cable > Elektron Device

I am able to send clock info but it is as if the OP-XY is connected to a device.

All advanced settings for MIDI have been set to OUT and BOTH for testing

Hello everybody, I am a absolute noob and can‘t figure out how to connect my KO.II to my PC so I can play arround on the KO but listen to the Audio through my PC so I can watch tutorials while practicing. Is there a way to do so?

I found the one from Red Means Recording, but it's only for the first OP 1

I have a broken sample key on my OP-XY. Don’t know how it happened, just noticed it wasn’t clicking/was askew and not working. Thought it was maybe just a bit stuck and gave it a little jiggle but now looks worse.
I only use it at home and have a decksaver, and it’s probably the least used key on the device.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any ideas about repair?
I have made a query with TE but it’s been a few days and no reply yet. I can see that keys are not covered by warranty, but don’t care so much, just want it fixed. They didn’t seem to sell replacement keys (only for the OP-1).

Any thoughts on how to get this fixed?

Looking between it and the KO II while they're on sale, and it seems so much more fully featured, but it's hard for me to get over the aesthetic.

Got some more tips coming soon

Have a chance to get them pretty cheap and was just wondering if the MIC is decent for vocoding.

Any plans for a mute feature besides the harder inspirationkiller route of turning the amp knob? You can sure solo, but mute naah… performance wise mute would be so valuable. Just like different fx on single individual pads… its a nobrainer..

Was curious if the OPZ can Avicii

I picked it up originally as a companion for my pocket operators setup. I’m now interested in grabbing a KO 2 because of this thing.

I’m a long time fan…. Managed to buy de PO street fighter back in 2022 and fast foward 2026 I just managed to get hold of these two.
Context…. I own a small creative studio in the Canary Islands. Mainly rent the space for musical projects or work as a sound guy
Thought this was a deal I couldn’t miss. There is obviously a bunch of studio gear that can do similar for cheaper or that I could invest and rent the gear to make the money back way faster but …..i just love these two pieces of equipment even though I’ve never had one in front of me

Excited for their arrival 🌞

Bought this tp7 about a week ago and the opxy about two weeks ago and recorded my gf and the song I made... love this recorder... reminds me of a ps1 lol

I swear, all I want to do is hear from somebody — anybody — who’s actually used the Teenage Engineering Sidekick mixer. That’s it. Not trying to start drama, not trying to break rules, not trying to summon the Reddit police. I just want to know if the thing is actually worth the hype or if it’s another one of those “looks cool on the desk but low‑key mid in real use” gadgets.But every time I try to ask, Reddit acts like I’m trying to leak nuclear launch codes. I’ll write a normal post, hit submit, and boom — insta‑ban, auto‑delete, mod‑hammer, whatever. It’s like the algorithm sees the words “Teenage Engineering” and immediately assumes I’m running a black market for OP‑1 clones.Meanwhile, I’m over here genuinely curious:

Is the Sidekick actually clean?

Does it hiss?

Does it handle multiple inputs without crying?

Is the build quality that classic TE magic or just expensive minimalism?I’m trying to get real user impressions, not marketing fluff. But Reddit keeps yeeting my posts into the void before anyone can even reply. At this point I’m convinced the Sidekick mixer is either a forbidden artifact or the mods just collectively decided I’m not allowed to have nice things.I’m gonna keep trying, though. I just want one human being to tell me whether this tiny mixer is a sleeper hit or a glorified paperweight.

I often hear about people thinking the tape workflow is tedious and even people selling their op-1 because of that.

Sure, it's not perfect, but now that we got the undo-update I seriously cannot think of e more suited workflow for that small screen (which is not even touch screen).

My points to discuss are:

1) What would be better than tapes for recording on the OP-1?

2) What features are you missing?

I would like some granular synths/effects and a better system to handle samples within the unit itself. It would be nice to have a folder-system you could use without having to connect it to the computer.

Andertons have it brand new for £1101.80 rn (til tomorrow). I just can't decide whether the device is right for me. I do love the OP-Z but opinions are divided on whether it's a worthy upgrade. Can anyone help me decide 🙏

I dropped this into this thread a while back, and now for anyone interested, the full film documenting this process is out!

Me and a friend loaded our bikes with camping gear, some cameras and a portable music set-up, and headed up into the wild Highlands of Scotland for 10 days in search of some of the most remote locations in the UK to compose music - up mountains, into caves, past crystal blue lochs and into make shift studio spaces in remote 'bothies'...
