Best content for the best gear around. You are the real MVP! Thanks for this video - it is lit af. Nice of you to show us the path to the solution and not just the positive outcome.

Only downside is too much talking early on and it takes awhile to get to the cool sounds :) But yeah, thanks. :)

@@darwiniandude you took us on a journey, and we are enjoying the ride as much as the guide!

can i charge it with my iphone 11 plus adapter?

[@darwiniandude]

Yes, the OP-1 Field comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, (like what you’d use for an iPhone 15 or later) and it charges perfectly with the Apple 18W USB-C AC Adaptor.

Do you know if this also works for OP-1 (not field)? I am able to power MF with OP-1 through a DAW but can't get it to work with USB MIDI straight from OP-1 to MF

Looks like field can function as a “MIDI host” and original probably can’t

[@darwiniandude]

Sorry, only just saw this comment :) Yeah you’re correct - the original can’t be a host. However there are midi converter boxes which will accept a USB midi device (think any midi controller, inc OP-1 original) and convert the signal to/from standard midi. I bought one and used it briefly with the original OP-1, I think the brand was Doremidi? But I didn’t use it a great deal because I later got the Field.
