Yea man, there's so much potential with this machine. I'm waiting until around December to see if TE drops a significant software update. If they don't then I just might end up selling mine.

You need a mini jack to stereo jack cable. Something like this: shorturl.at/8h22A

No need. USB over midi does the trick.

Awesome, thanks man. Great to hear that you've made it work with Ableton!

This is only used as a controller. Currently there is no audio over usb function in the KO II but who knows, maybe they'll add it in the future.

Thank you! :)

Hey! I think you're on the right path. If you want to record the audio out from the KO II you just need to take that cable and connect it to the inputs of the Zen Q. Then in Logic create an audio track and set the inputs to the input channels that you're using on the Zen Q to get the audio from the KOII. Press play on the KO and record arm the track on Logic and you should be all good.

I basically want to hear the sound that comes from KO II out of my speakers which are connected to the audio interface. There's a second pair of line out is available but doesn't bring up any sound; sound I connect the KO II as an instrument to the interface perhaps? Thanks for your time and response. @@MrMooseMusic

@@iamdeejaymelody I think, you need to plug the mini jack into the "Output" of KO II, then the 2 TRS endings into the "Input" of your audio interface. Now I don't know if the Zen Q has direct monitoring but try to create an audio track in Logic and set the Inputs of that to the same Inputs that you are using on the Zen Q. I think this should work, in theory at least :D

there's a second pair of line out which i did connect but get only a tiny tiny amount of sound, maybe through logic is better. @@MrMooseMusic

@@iamdeejaymelody We're close, sounds like half a victory :D So at least now you're getting a signal. I think now it is a question of configuration on the Zen Q. Check if it has like some gain switch for the input channels? Maybe there's a software that comes with and inside there you can make some adjustments? On my audio interface I have button next to the input channels that allows me to switch between Line and Instrument. In the case of the KO II you need to go for the Line setting in Zen Q. Hope it works out!

Thank you!

Ah yea? Could you try to go to EP 133 settings and set the SYNC to IN?

@@MrMooseMusic Same. It is not changing at all. I have a flashing USB icon on my Ep-133 when I press play on Logic but both has their own clock. It is not sync

@@serkandal2209 hmmm, that's very strange. And now when I think about it, the global sync settings are not even relevant here. Have you tried to first connect your KO II to the USB port of the laptop, then turn the device on, and only afterwards launch logic and set the sync options as per the video? It should work. Otherwise, I'm wondering are you able to trigger the midi tracks in Logic? Please reply here so that others with similar issue might find a solution too.

@@MrMooseMusic I did exactly how you did it in the video. Everything is same when we look at the settings but I thing I am missing something. Maybe there is a difference somewhere that you didn't show in the video. Let's say I did something wrong? How can I start over? Should I go default settings somewhere with both or something else?

@@serkandal2209 Always a good idea to start all over again! Try using another project on the EP 133 instead of resetting to factory settings.

Thanks!

Hi there, unfortunately I don't think it's possible to automate the pan parameter. Of course, after recording the individual stems you can then automate the pan in the DAW, but yeah it's bummer. Image if all these "sub" parameters could be automated via midi, then you would hook up a midi controller packed with knobs and faders and would be able to manipulate the sound even more but this is not possible unfortunately, not even with the TR-8S. I still love the machine though :D

I’m not sure, cause I’ve never tried it. What you could try is to send midi data from the device to your DAW by pressing the A/B buttons and check if your DAW receives midi from those buttons and if yes what value it is receiving. If this works, then it’s just q question of writing automation data in your DAW for that midi CC.

@@MrMooseMusic Great idea! I didn't realize you could reverse engineer MIDI mapping in that way. Other than using keyboard controllers, I'm fairly new to MIDI. Thanks for the response.

@@fraaaaaaaaay let me know how it goes please. I’m curious, and maybe it would be helpful for others as well.

Hi, it's essentially the same. You can reference the midi implementation PDF from this page to get the concrete midi CCs. www.roland.com/au/support/by_product/tr-8s/owners_manuals/

@@MrMooseMusic Thanks. So I figured it out shortly after posting the above. You actually have to go into the MIDI settings and turn the Rx EditData function to 'on' for it to work.

@@MrMooseMusic Thanks. I actually figured it out shortly after posting the above. You actually have to go into the MIDI settings menu and turn on 'Rx EditData' for the TR8s to receive control change messages. You'd think the would ship them with it turned on by default but...

Hey. On the TR8 it's not really possible. On the TR8s it is.

Hey man, since I don't have a digitakt I can't really answer your question, but this doesn't keep me from answering anyway :D. Each sound of the TR-8 has its own note number. So I guess you have to set a midi track on your digitakt to trigger the desired sound on the tr-8 by directing the signal to the corresponding note number. The note numbers you can find here: static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TR-8_MIDI_Imple_Chart_e02_W.pdf This is the idea, I guess in theory this should work. Try it :)

@@MrMooseMusic thanks dude, I'll try and I'll tell if and how it works!

@@MrMooseMusic I succeed to pilot the TR-8 on the DT!

@@nlewandowski3228 Awesome man. Happy to hear that. Btw was the general idea what I suggested or something radically different?
