RK005 OP-1 Support

Because many people want to pair the RK-005 to host Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 we have implemented direct communication with this device on the 1.4 firmware (and up). You can use a small menu on the display of the OP-1 to access various settings of the RK-005. This is done via the OP-1’s ‘Controller Mode’ which is also used in certain DAW’.

USAGE

First; Make sure the OP1 MIDI CTRL Channel is set to CH1 and the dial is set to ABS, MIDI CC

To enter the RK005 menu on directly on the OP-1:

– press’SHIFT’ + ‘COM’

– press CTRL

to leave the RK005 menu:

– press ‘SHIFT’ + ‘COM’

– press ‘OP-1’

OP-1’s display will show:

+-----------------------------+ | RK005 | | [|||||||||||||||||] | | USE < > REC and 1.8 | +-----------------------------+

now you can use the following buttons:

‘<‘ to navigate one menu page to the left ‘>’ to navigate one menu page to the right

‘REC’ to change the currently displayed parameter

‘1..8’ to perform parameter dependent settings

Note: parameter changes are NOT stored in RK005’s memory until the menupage ‘STORE IN RK005?’ is executed (see below)

Menupage : ‘DIN-THRU’

Description:

this parameter controls the forwarding of MIDI data from the MIDI DIN input to the MIDI DIN output

Values:

OFF = MIDI data arriving at the DIN input will NOT be sent to the DIN output

AUTO = MIDI data arriving at the DIN input will be sent to the DIN output, but ONLY when the RK005 is in ‘stand-alone’ mode

when the RK005 is connected to a host PC (or tablet) there will NOT be any data forwarded from DIN IN –> DIN OUT

(this is to avoid unwanted MIDI loops)

ON = MIDI data arriving at the DIN input will always be forwarded to the DIN output (note this could lead to unwanted MIDI loops!)

Menupage : ‘LED INDICATOR’

Description:

This parameter controls the intensity of the LED indicator

Values:

DIMM = default indicator intensity

BRIGHT = bright intensity

OFF = no indicator at all

FILTERS:

The RK005 can apply up to 4 filters. Each filter can be set to block certain messages (messages which are matched by a filter will be discarded)

In order to define the matching conditions each filter has the following settings:

a) PORT = the ‘connector’ on which the filter should match

b) DIR = the direction for which the filter should match

c) EV = the events for which the filter should match

d) CHN = the channels for which the filter should match (in case ‘channel’ events are used)

Menupage : ‘FLT#1/PORT’

Description:

Determines the I/O port for this filter

Values :

OFF = filter disabled

USB HOST ALL = all devices connected on RK005’s USB-HOST connector

USB OP-1 = OP-1 connected to RK005’s USB-HOST connector

USB CLIENT = RK005’s device connector

MIDI DIN = RK005’s MIDI DIN connectors (IN, OUT or both)

Menupage : ‘FLT#1/DIR’

Description:

Sets the direction of this filter

Values:

RK005 <– * = data flowing into the RK005 RK005 –> * = data flowing out from the RK005

RK005 <-> * = data in one or both directions

Menupage : ‘FLT#1/EV’

Description:

Set the type of events the filter should match

Values:

CHN = channel events

CHN+CLK = channel events or clock

CHN+TRN = channel events or start/stop (=TRaNsport)

CHN+TRN+CLK = channel events or clock / start / stop

ALL = all events

Menupage : ‘FLT#1/CHN1..8’

Description:

Selects which MIDI channels 1..8 for which the filter should match (note: only when EV not set to ‘ALL’ !)

Values:

use buttons 1..8 to toggle channels on/off

this is displayed by the ‘keyboard’ graphic: every ‘red’ bar indicates that the corresponding channel is being matched

Menupage : ‘FLT#1/CHN9..16’

Description:

Select match for MIDI channels 9..16

Values :

See FLT#1/CHN1..8

For menupages FLT#2/xxxx -> see FLT#1/xxxx

note 1) to quickly navigate between filters 1..4 you can press 1,2,3,4 (the big numbers below the display)

note 2) to quickly setup a filter for OP-1 reception or OP-1 transmission: press 1 (labelled ‘IN’) or 2 (labelled ‘OUT’) in the FLT#x/PORT

FLT#x/DIR or FLT#x/EV menu page:

This will pre-set the parameters to form a filter directly for OP-1 transmit or OP-1 receive as a convenience function

Menupage : ‘STORE IN RK005?’

Description:

Use this to make the changes be stored inside RK005’s memory

the settings will be kept, even if the RK005 is disconnected from power

Menupage : ‘RECALL DEFAULTS’

Description:

use this to re-set all parameters to factory default

Menupage : ‘RK005 FW VS’

Description:

Shows the running RK005 firmware version
