Really glad it helped you dude! People are always asking how they get their OP-Z audio recordings into the DAW but I figure if you are already going to hook up a DAW you might as well just use MIDI to make it ten times more powerful :D !

You're welcome! I honestly think this is the best way to use Ableton. The limitations of a physical controller can let you focus rather than being overwhelmed by every single effect and instrument being constantly available.

Thanks! I plan to make a follow up hopefully with a full template in a few weeks!

Glad it was helpful! So many benefits to using a DAW if possible. Try to find an intro version or free tool before fully diving into anything too expensive

Cheers. Yeah there is always a fresh and new way to use it. I also find sometimes individual sounds from the Z are nice to I just audio track them in later and add them to the Ableton mix!

You're welcome!! :)

Enjoy! Would love to hear how to find is the best way to rig it!

Happy to help :))

Capable of so many things! :)

Thanks ! There's a full playlist on my channel of you're interested in similar walkthroughs and ideas for the OP-Z / music production

Can always try it with the Digitakt as well - an alternative to Overbridge :) !

Glad it was helpful! You're welcome :)

Thanks I am really really glad it helps. I hope to release some templates and more midi tricks for the Z and Ableton soon ☺️

Thanks I am so glad it was of use ☺️

Yeah man. Just watched your performance one and ambient one and they answered lots of questions for me. Just got one of these. On to your hip hop, techno ones tomorrow. Keep making good stuff. You explain things quite well and I like your rock top, by a stream making beats shots. Well done mate!

@@nevadasage5 cheers mate - so stoked to hear every time it helps somebody! Plenty more to come. New videos every week - usually OP-Z focused

Cheers, Phillip!

Hey mate, I can't say I have had that issue myself. 🤔 I would just double check the channel and CC config and that there is not doubling up but otherwise nothing comes to mind sorry

Thanks I use a very old Launchpad (original) so I also see the overlaps! I just didn't want to introduce extra hardware in the tutorial to make it more confusing but there are crazy amounts of possibilities here

@@RDiefenbach would love your view on a future video tutorial. I am now watch the OP-Z Ambient Music Tutorial one, so thank you for that too :)

@@oberdone you mean a tutorial on how to produce future as in the genre?

@@RDiefenbach hah, sorry... my english obviously :) I meant that I would love if you could make a tutorial in the future, about OP-Z used along other controllers like the Push or Launchpad. And then I said that I was watching (at that time), your other tutorial on Ambient Music. It was very interesting ;)

Hi - sorry to hear it's not working. If you say you did everything exactly the same as in my video then it makes it difficult for me to identify the issue but I'd recommend double checking your MIDI preferences in the Ableton Live settings as well as the OP-Z app.

@@RDiefenbach hi! Thanks it is working after a factory reset. Cheers

If the clock is synced you could just use the computer directly to trigger when you want to record new patterns into a different session clip row? If all your tracks are properly separated then this should be a single click?

Hey, most important is to enable midi notes out and midi cc out!

There's a separate video on my channel about the photomatic function if you want a stepping stone before going into full video packs. Check out the tutorials from VideoLab if you want to get some more advanced insights. No need to use all the features at once either - just have fun 😊

Absolutely. Ableton on its own is a beast. I have had a few requests to cover my gear setup, which mainly consists of an OP-Z, Digitone and Ableton. It is always easy to get caught up in gear but these days you can do so much with so little.

@@RDiefenbach Do you think the "intro" copy of live is sufficient ?

@@mauricelebrun6299 for many purposes, yes! It is at least a good way to get an introduction and if you need more than 8 tracks or whatever the limit is on intro, then it is possible to upgrade. They have a sale at the moment so I just upgraded to suite but I am making music on a daily basis. I started with intro and then later upgraded to standard when I became more interested in production. If you want to combine your OP-Z recordings and maybe add a channel with audio from your monosynth then intro can already be a powerful tool. I run most of my DAWless jams' final recordings through Ableton before publishing. I also plan to do more Ableton tutorials in the near future if viewers are interested.

Спасибо. Я рад, что это было интересно.

The audio there is captured from Ableton, not the OPZ

@@RDiefenbach thank you i already fixed it

@@Dandelunar any word on how?, also only hearing noises from the opz itself :/

I really wouldn't use it over Bluetooth 😅

@@RDiefenbach a little laggy I'd imagine. I have a lot of fun using it as a midi controller/sequencer in Ableton. I have a template so that all I have to do is assign an instrument to each track and everything I've come up with on the opz plays the same with whatever instrument I want to come through on Ableton.

The full template would only make sense if I explain how it is set up specifically what CCs are mapped to what, and the user may need the appropriate devices, VSTs etc that I am using. I will consider making another vid with a template explainer in future that is mapped to more global functions but it is a matter of what I will have time to do as it is a process!

@@RDiefenbach yes maybe with original Ableton engine like this analog bass, thanks anyway for the video

Haha the price is already so high 😅
