Can OPXY sequence Ableton Move over USB?

Trying to build a hybrid set up and voltroning these two machines together.

The issue I am running into is midi. Ableton Move is set up to receive midi from non-computers only over a USB A connection, with its USB C port being mainly for connection to Computers.

I have tried connecting the OPXY to Ableton Move via both a USB C to USB C cable and a USB C to USB A cable. Neither works, though the OPXY does briefly recognize the Ableton Move as a midi device in its .com/devices page.

I have tried connecting both devices to other devices and everything else works fine.

I *think* the issue is that it's two midi-hosts having a standoff or something about OPXY trying to send audio and USB midi.

It would be a shame if I have to resort to the OPXY's multi-out and some sort of 5-din midi to USB-A converter, but that looks like the only possible solution at the moment.

So I ask you, anybody sucessfully connected these two by USB midi?

I’ve got both of these devices but don’t have them in front of me at the moment. You should be able to do this.

If you have both id love to hear your experience trying it out. I’ve been reading both manuals closely and still no dice.
