Anyone used the OP-XY USB port to send MIDI to the MetaModule?

Hello! So, I’ve been trying to send MIDI out of my OP-XY into the MetaModule but haven’t figured out how to do it. In the OP-XY I’ve set the synth engine in track 3 to external, chose MIDI channel 1, and in the project config I selected the MIDI settings and changed track 3 to channel 1. I’ve connected the OP-XY USB cable (the one that came with it) to the USB port on the MetaModule, and have a simple patch using the RackCore MIDIToCVInterface and the 4ms EnOsc. The MIDIToCVInterface’s options is set to listen to channel 1, and the V/Oct is patched to the Pitch input of the EnOsc. The output of the EnOsc is patched to output1 on the MetaModule panel, where it’s going to a mixer and to the output.

All I hear is a constant note from the EnOsc. Am I doing something wrong? Or would this not work for some reason that I didn’t foresee?

I also tried using the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter in the Meta and connecting a USB-A to USB-C in the OP-XY but got the same result.

i don’t own an op-xy but my guess is the xy acts as a midi host, and so does the mm which would cause conflict. so you might need to create a usb to din bridge using a trs to midi din cable (type A for op-xy i think?) then connect that to a usb to din adapter, that would be connected to the mm.

i use this class compliant usb/din adapter and it has worked well with getting mm to ‘talk’ to my laptop, ipad, etc. and vice versa.

or a wireless solution that has been reported to work well with mm:

That would make sense. I’ll try to use the 3.5mm MIDI output on the OP-XY instead of the USB output and report back. I’ll check out those adapters, thanks!

Just following up. The adapter you sent worked :+1:. But I started running into some new issues with 4 MIDIToCVInterfaces (3 gates + 1 CV), where one gate just doesn’t get sent to the panel output, even though the interface plugin in the meta module is receiving the MIDI data (I can see the note on/off triggers in the plugin “screen”). Will investigate more and maybe open a new thread for this later on.

Thanks again for the suggestion!
