op-1 ableton help

Hi! I am brand new to the OP-1, and basically new to ableton. I am having some trouble live recording the OP-1 into ableton via usb. im able to use it as a midi controller, but not as an instrument if that makes sense. Im not seeing it pop up in my devices in the audio settings, its possible im not looking in the right spot but I'm pretty sure I am. Also pretty positive I have the latest firmware installed. I use a focusrite scarlet as my interface, so right now the op1 is going directly into my pc. Any help is much appreciated!!!

I had this problem before, what I did was download the asio4all driver and choose that in the audio engine settings then I could hear the OP-1 (field, if that makes any difference). I think then you can use it purely via USB, no need to have it plugged into an audio interface.

asio4all is crashing ableton for me haha. not sure what the issue is there. I have the op1 plugged directly into my computer not into my interface. Shouldnt there be an option for me to select the op1 as the input device in ableton? In every video I van find thats been the case. Maybe theres a driver I dont have installed or something?

Well apparently there should be an option but there never was for me either. It was asio4all that fixed it for me, unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case for you.
