How do I use external audio?
OP-XYtutorialguide
External audio on the OP-XY lets you route outside sound sources through the device's filters, effects, and sequencer. Connect your audio source to the 3.5mm audio input, then configure Auxiliary Track 5 to process it.
Setup
Press Auxiliary, select Track 5. Press M1 to access input settings.
M1 - Input Settings
Configure your source and levels:
- Dark grey encoder: select input source (mic, headset, line in, USB, or main output)
- Mid grey encoder: drive (add character/distortion)
- Light grey encoder: input level
- White encoder: mix (blend between dry and processed signal)
The built-in microphone and level meter are located on the top right of the device.
M2 - Routing
Route Track 5 to effects sends and output destinations.
M3 - Filter and FX
Apply filtering and send to FX I or FX II:
- Dark grey encoder: filter cutoff
- Mid grey encoder: resonance
- Track send options: aux out, tape, FX I, FX II
M4 - LFO
Add modulation to any Track 5 parameter using the LFO module.
You can also sequence Track 5 to trigger audio processing at specific steps, creating rhythmic gating or filter sweeps synchronized to your project tempo.
