interesting! question: can you have a mono sequencer running some notes that are arpeggiated (lets say on track 1). and then use the harmonize feature to let the arps on track 1 follow chords played live on a separate track in oxi?
Is it possible to program the Arp to play the notes in every possible sequence, not only up or down, maybe 1,3,2,2,4,1,1,3 ? and tie or rest steps ? Like Blue-Arp ?
hello! i just ran into this device with this video as the first one i am seeing.... i had a quick question- there are no visible cables running into or out of the device... but i'm guessing its not battery powered and also there is no internal synth or samples? so how is it powered and what is it connected to and how in this video? thank you!
@@oxiinstruments woah!!! that's amazing! i had no idea it was battery powered, and bluetooth connected.... so awesome! great machine, thanks for your answer, i gotta get one
Why isn't there a bass mode for the other sequencer to always play the right bass note of each chord? That is essential in my opinion. As it is now, the sequencer you program as the bassline will likely play mostly inversions of the chords, even though the chord voicing is set to root position. There should be a feature where a sequencer is set to always play the bass note of the chord, instead of harmonizing to the closest chord tone in the sequence.
@@oxiinstruments Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I'm using a sequencer set to harm mode. But most of the time the result is the bass note not being the root of the chord but the 3rd or 5th instead. This makes the chord an inversion, even though the chord sequencer is set to root position. I left a much more thorough message about this as a feature request in your forum. Please reference it there and let me know if what I'm saying makes sense or if there already is a way to accomplish what I'm saying. To my understanding when I set a sequencer in chord mode, it's a poliphonic sequence, even though I enable the bass, so I can't really send that to a monophonic bass midi instrument or cv module, otherwise it's going to be a mess. Am I correct?
@@leonardocaminati6432 you can use the bass feature of the chord mode and send it to a different midi channel. But if you want to create a different rhythmic pattern you can: - Send the bass to a MIDI channel that is not being used by any synth. - The bass will always be the lowest note and also, the root note of the chord (not an inversion). - In the follower sequencer (mono or poly set to HARMO), place notes in the first row to make sure they play the bass note. Let us know if this works and we can add this info to your post!
You can modulate the Arp settings per step with the: - Internal MODulation lanes You can also modulate the Arp settings with: - Internal LFOs - External CV input
you will be able to record into another sequencer. (Because it's not possible to record single notes into a chord sequencer.) . As today the previous feature is not implemented.
@@oxiinstruments be great if you can change the arp settings per step e.g. 1/16 to 1/32 and U*D to D*U (don't have one yet but on its way so let me know if already possible!)
I am certain this sequencer is amazing and have wanted one for a while but I’m borrowing a friends to try out before buying and I gotta say this thing is anything but intuitive. I come from an Elektron background so I assumed I’d at least understand the basics but definitely not. I managed to make a loop in chord mode. You’re doing yourself a huge disservice by not making a series of clear tutorials starting with the absolute basics of creating a new project. I’ve gone from needing one of these to thinking probably not. I’m still gonna try to get used to this thing but I’m not feeling optimistic
Hello Ryan, thanks for your feedback. We have an online version of the manual where you can add your questions or suggestions! oxiinstruments.com/forum/d/771-31-oxi-one-manual
I seriously believe it's great value for money .The possibilities you have from learning this maschine are mind blowing. There are plenty of other mono sequencers out there that give you 5% of what the oxi gives you, asking for more . It all depends if you are willing to study and learn this sequencer.
Agree to disagree. While it does look like a great sequencer and would pair well with my modular, it's certainly not great "value for money". An MPC One is a great value for money, this is just a sequencer. If it was a groovebox with its own sounds and synths, then yes, I would be willing to pay that price.
@@vertigev Dude the mpc is a wanna do it all sampler . Those maschines never excel at anything . Akai is a company from 1930 or so and this is a new independent company making something fresh and inspiring and going along the ride with its community . Apples and oranges
I really wish you'd either do some proper tutorials or get another TH-camr (Loopop, etc.) to do some videos. These 1-2 minute videos you keep releasing are utterly pointless.
I get your point Dan, but the purpose of these videos is to introduce new features that might otherwise go unnoticed. Also offer brief examples of how to use them.
LFO to strum is such a joy
Absolutely amazing! Just keeps getting better and better!
Love the arp chord feature 👌
Man I've really gotta update my OXI One!

Exactly , that’s one of the use cases of the harmonizer. It’s also good for basslines!
I love this sequencer! Nice sound too is from ..?

No, there are more than 20 arp modes but for that you need to use the sequencer.
@@oxiinstruments Thank you, 20arp modes are also good.

Hi, it’s battery powered and connected by bluetooth to the computer.

You have several ways to have the bass following the chords.
Either enabling the bass in chord mode or using a sequencer set to harmo mode.

@@oxiinstruments It works. Thank you very much!
fantastic! quick question: can the arp rate be set by step? (p-lock style)
You can modulate the Arp settings per step with the:
- Internal MODulation lanes
You can also modulate the Arp settings with:
- Internal LFOs
- External CV input
Wow, how do you get the sequencer to run so 'slowly' at 0.36 despite the tempo is at 120 bpm? (1 bar per chord it seems)
The time division of the chord progresion is 1 Bar per step/chord.
And the division of the chord arpeggiator is 1/16th which goes up to 1/48.
@@oxiinstruments great: how do you change the division?
is it possible to "print" the result of arp into the sequencer and then manually edit individual notes?
you will be able to record into another sequencer. (Because it's not possible to record single notes into a chord sequencer.) . As today the previous feature is not implemented.
Is it possible to enable/disable the arp per step?
would be nice indeed
You are right, we’ll add that
@@oxiinstruments be great if you can change the arp settings per step e.g. 1/16 to 1/32 and U*D to D*U (don't have one yet but on its way so let me know if already possible!)
@@dan_apeks yes you can!, using a modulation lane, you can automate any parameter of the arpeggiator in a per step basis.
@@oxiinstruments wow, awesome!!
oh yes!
Great for micro house
1:12 ?????? "Choose between 20+ modes"......... WHAT MEANS THIS????
there are 20+ arp modes including the variations.
@@oxiinstruments thanks, but can you say more ???

That's really cool. But just looked up the price of that thing, wow...
Thanks!
About the cost, since we launched cost raised 30-40 % in some components and taking into account USD-EUR rate
