OP-1 Feild x2 Plus eurorack

David

I’m trying to figure something out, and to save hours of frustration. I feel it better to ask – thanks in advance!

I would like to use an Op-1 field as a master clock for a case (well x2 “travel” live gigging).

I bought the 006 after meeting you at superbooth when you released it and the device seems capable, although I would like some advice –

1) Is it possible to set up the 006 with a preset where I can plug the OP-1 Field into it, and it will send a clock gate, start gate, and stop gate from, say, port out 1/2/3 (physical ports on the 006), respectively? Is that correct? The jack cables I can then plug in to say a Pam’s Pro work out as the master Eurorack clock/start/stop ?
2) Will the op-1f power the 006 adequately? Or will it require extra power?
3) I intend to use two OP1Fs(long story I own two), one as a means of recording on the go, the other as sound source, I would like the two synced. This will require a small hub. How do you recommend doing this ? (I’m not asking for advice the the OP1f – I already know how set each up to receive and send clock)
4) The 006 does not use a USB-C – the OP1F uses a USB C – therefore what cables/converter should I be using – it sounds like a basic question – I’ve got literally a wall of boxes of cables, and I don’t just want to buy more – its not right and it sits in box – terrible for the environment – so thought it best to ask you.
5) I note you now seem to have an app for the 006 – I don’t recall that being discussed at Superbooth – is that new ? – the idea is to create the presents on an I pad (which I have an pad pro, fine), is that correct ? – what cable to I require to plug into to the ipad, presumably the app is still available and its on the app store ?

Cheers, and I hope your little 006 is as exciting as I thought it was when we discussed it and I look forward to your guidance.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best

I think the OP1f can host midi devices too right? Then it should be able to host the RK006 as a midi interface which means you'd have all outputs and clock available and synced to the OP1f - perhaps this is the most transparent method. There are USB-C to micro-usb cables you can use for this. About output configurations; On page 4 of the RK006 manual are the presets explained, there are some with a start/stop and gate clock out.
The RK006 power consumption is very low (it even runs on apple iOS devices which do not want to have a lot of power draw on them), I'm sure the OP1f power is adequate. For connecting the RK006 to an iOS device you need the Apple CCK adapter.
To use multiple OP1f's.. not sure how that will work (we don't have the gear). You can try and host both of them on the RK006 with a USB hub connected to the RK006 OTG cable. Clock master is then taken from the OP1f which is in the lowest USBhub's port number (this varies per hub) and distributed to all other connected devices.
