Hi Guys,
disclaimer: I tried a search and didn't find the answer to the info I am seeking here. My apologies if this was already covered somewhere in the past.
I am using my OP-1 with OPLab to sync it to external hardware synths. One example is a Korg Electribe ER-1 mk1.
I have OP-1 connected via USB to OPLab. From OPLab, it connects via MIDI out to the Electribe MIDI in.
Electribe is set to external clock.
OP-1 has a four bar loop.
When pressing the OP-1 tape transport play button works to trigger the Electribe to play at the same time, in the same tempo as OP-1...great!
But pressing OP-1 stop (which resets the loop position to the beginning), then pressing play will not cause the Electribe to play from the beginning of it's selected pattern. It will continue on where it left off...bad!
I am wondering if the OP-1 sends MIDI Start messages? It seems that this is not being received by the Electribe.
I am guessing this operation is quite common, so I hope someone here may be able to help shed light if this is possible. Perhaps OPLab needs to be set a specific way?
Thank you and Happy New Year everyone!

So it seems that the "start" signal should be sufficient to restart a sequence. I don't believe the OP-1 sends "continue".
Perhaps the issue is with the Electribe. I will try other devices and see if the issue sticks with the Korg or follows to other devices.
So I guess I could use another device in the middle that could remap MIDI Continue to MIDI start. I believe the iConnectivity products offer that function.
I didn’t realize a newer FW is out. I usually get some email from TE about that but I guess not this time. Will give it a go and see if it works!
@Brian_Westfield hey did you end up trying this? I'm trying to do something similar!
