Hi All,
I am a backer of the Oxi One, very excited at using it with my AE setup... The Oxi one claims to have the ability to set the voltages for it's 8 gate and 8 CV ports so my question is if in this case it's still best to buy the 4i/o modules, which in this case I would need 4 of them "sounds kind of crazy!" Or if maybe I could figure out some 3.5mm cable to jumper cable or maybe even use a breadboard with 3.5mm jacks and little jumper cables into the AE....
I don't mind buying the 4 x 4 I/o modules, but seems that there should be something else in place to help integrating with things like this.

The problem is not only the voltage differences which apparently you can solve by configuring the Oxi's ports, but the grounding. Normal 3.5mm cables carry the signal and ground whereas the patch cables in AE don't have ground as they are only one wire. Without creating a common ground between the AE and the Oxi weird things may happen. I would suggest that buying as many 4 I/O's as you require would be the safest and probably most comfortable way to go. PS: Just for reference (as I didn't know initially what the Oxi was): oxiinstruments.com/ |

Ah makes sense. I saw some pictures of other people's setups.... Multiple I/Os it is! That Oxi thing is really cool. Kind of a gamble whether the Kickstarter goes through but let's see. I think a lot of the features can probably be done using the quantizer and sequencers but I had ordered this before I got into AE. Main thing with the Oxi is it's multitrack sequencing, harmonizer function where it automatically transposes notes to follow a chord "I think" sounds like a quantizer lol, eucledean features, and it's song mode.... And obviously plays very well with all gear.
Thanks for the quick clarification btw!

No worries! I'm in Australia, so it's early noon here.
That Oxi looks fantastic and if I hadn't already invested in the Deluge then this would definitely be on my list!
Just a heads up for when you receive your Oxi and start sequencing the AE ... even though the Oxi has a quantizer you will still need to tune your oscillators for each patch. This really trips up beginners when they come to AE from other synths and expect the oscillators to be in some tune. They aren't, and have to be manually adjusted to where you want them by simply adjusting the frequency knob at the front.
All the best, and happy patching!

Oh wow, this Oxi thing looks super compact - perfect for AE setups! I'm really interested to see how it works with AE. I'm thinking about a multi-channel MIDI-to-CV module; this might be helpful with the Oxi too... I love compact, powerful stuff; I can't help... ;-)

Agreed Rob, I think AE would open a lot of doors with a better midi implementation. One of the brilliant things about AE is it's variety of use cases and as a self contained world. As soon as the modules and the system in general becomes more friendly with multi channel midi and CC control CV manipulation, I think it will open the doors for another group of people that have all these existing wonderful synths but want to venture into modular without feeling like they arent taking advantage of existing investments.
I am envisioning maybe midi dip switches per module to select channels or jumpers and continue the idea of having a master module with a midi bus. Mind you I have no idea if that's even possible but it sounds cool!

Ok, it's a bit late reply, but just for further vistors: The nanobridge from sound machine is basically the same thing as the 4I/O module; a bridge between minijack and pin headers, plus overvoltage/negative voltage protection. |

Does it do the job? Do the pins go in the black board thing on there? How is it powered? |

From the web page it looks like it is unpowered... the US distributors may be able to give you more info... www.sound-machines.it/support/distributors/?v=a0eb064906c2 |
