Thanks for video, I use Cubase so not really suited for me but I look forward to further tips with OXI One. Just got my head round the arranger side of things and now getting good use out of it. A great machine.
R.A.R. - Thank you so much for putting this up! I have one question (and I've combed the web and UA-cam for an answer, but can find NOTHING on this) -- the change with regard to how the Oxi handles Ableton's drum rack has, at least on my new unit, made it so that, instead of having what you have in this video, a set of 12 pads with 12 different velocities for one of the sounds on a given row of the drum rack. As you move across to the cluster starting at pad 4 (4,5,6,), you reach the 2nd sound, 7th -9th pad is the next sound, etc. The upper 4 rows of pads on the OXI are, of course, the next sounds up in the drum rack. In order to get to all 16 sounds in the rack, you have to move the root note using the rotary encoder, while watching the little yellow indicator on the left of the drum rack to correspond with the sound you want. I can see the benefit of being able to just choose one of 12 velocities without using a dial, but overall this layout seems very cumbersome and annoying - at least to me. Is there a better way? Is there something I'm missing? If you could possibly do a new video on using Ableton's drum rack with the new layout, I think a lot of people would be grateful. Again, thanks for all you contribute with these videos!
Hmm, my first guess is maybe you need to update the firmware on the sequencer? I know the multitrack mode was just updated when I made the video. If you are still having issues I can try to help you with them.
Thanks for the vid, very helpful. Can you tell me how to assign CC values to the transport controls on the Oxi? Midi Learn doesn’t work in Ableton since there’s not values assigned to the transport controls in the Oxi.
You should be able to go into midi map mode in ableton, select the play button, then hit the play button on the oxi. It should assign. And so on and so forth with the rest of the transport controls. There are CC values assigned to the oxi transport controls. Does something not work doing it that way? You should also mute all the tracks before hitting play on the oxi.
Thanks for the video! Is it normal to have some delay on recording midi on Ableton? I'm just trying to record one track from oxi one to ableton live, everything works but it always adds obvious delay in the beginning. I tried to figure it out with midi clock sync delay but It didn't help at all.
Look at your buffer sample rate and adjust the latency into the negatives a little bit. If you play with the latency you should be able to get it to line up nicely.
Hmm, I did a quick search and it looks like you can kind of hack ableton to manually input the midi assignment. I found this, hope it helps: ua-cam.com/video/e5kcaVfjqf4/v-deo.html
is there a way to have the same midi note for example c1 on all the line of steps sequencer? so you could sequence 8 different drum sounds instead of changing each step one by one? and changing the line of step sequencer line at one and not one by one?
@@emilianoibarra3537 I just powered it up to see, and figured it out. You hold the row you want to sequence at the first step, then hold 4 (or whatever sequence of the 4 you are using), and you'll see the screen change to adjust that row's note default.
I haven’t tried this yet and I’m away from my computer but is there really no other way to assign midi in Ableton? It only works in “learn” mode, no way to just type in the cc values?
@@RobotsAreRed Super lame. I guess if you map a modulation lane instead of an LFO, then you can set the channel and manually adjust the level so Ableton sees it.
look up 'creating your own control surface script' for ableton; make a 'script' which uses the four knobs as the first four plugin control; this way any device you select will become the target (the first four parameters you assign), and you can lock it with a right click. won't work well with internal ableton plugins. Or you can easily make a super simple max for live patch that will send the corresponding CC for you.
in my experience the ableton clock will jitter when in slave mode. It could be useful when you're experimenting so you can change the tempo with the oxi. When you're starting to record it's gonna cause issues though.
Oxi One was by far my favorite gear acquisition of 2022. It is such an incredibly useful and flexible piece of music tech.
It really is fantastic
Your tuto is amazing. I had problem to connect other gear (Digitone) correctly wiith Ableton.
It helped me a lot. Thanks
Use overbridge
@@larcheyz7845 No i needed for get the midi from digi sequencer.
It’s ok with this tuto
Great video! please do more OXI vids if you have time!✌🏼
I definitely will!

I bought a squarp pyramid. Gave it month to much meny diving. I saw this and buing this instead. Thanks for chnage my minds :)

@@RobotsAreRed Thanks! Not sure what I did originally, but it’s working now. Much appreciated.

Great video. Works for me on LFO. However, I can't get Ableton to recognize the mod lanes CC assignment. Anything different I need to do?

Yes, you can. I'll have to mess around with it to remember how though. My hands remember, my head doesn't, haha.
@@RobotsAreRed do you remember how that is called/named?

@@RobotsAreRed thank you so much
@@emilianoibarra3537 Not a problem, I should have covered that in the video. Manu (from Oxi) told me afterwards that I was doing it the hard way
Can you use the OXI ONE as a clap launcher in ableton?
It doesn't work like a launchpad or anything, but you can surely assign specific midi notes to launch clips.
Is there any easy way to use the OXI as a clip launcher?
Not at the moment that I know of. It's why I have a mini launchpad right next to the Oxi in my setup.
my daw doesn't recognize the oxi one..

I tried in ableton, and there is no way to just type in the CC values for whatever reason. It's quite lame.
@@RobotsAreRed Super lame. I guess if you map a modulation lane instead of an LFO, then you can set the channel and manually adjust the level so Ableton sees it.
@@DavidZisa Thats a good idea!
Not within the app itself, but by editing a text file. Look up "Creating your own Control Surface script" in the Ableton docs.
look up 'creating your own control surface script' for ableton; make a 'script' which uses the four knobs as the first four plugin control; this way any device you select will become the target (the first four parameters you assign), and you can lock it with a right click. won't work well with internal ableton plugins. Or you can easily make a super simple max for live patch that will send the corresponding CC for you.
why having ableton as slave? no gitter?
Some people prefer to have ableton as a slave, so I wanted to show that. I always have ableton as the master clock personally though.
in my experience the ableton clock will jitter when in slave mode. It could be useful when you're experimenting so you can change the tempo with the oxi. When you're starting to record it's gonna cause issues though.
