Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Teenage Engineering OPZ. Is this compact multimedia synthesizer and sequencer with visualization options based on vj footage and the unity engine an actual improvement over its older sibling, the Teenage Engineering OP-1? Does the implementation von iOS devices like an iPhone or iPad actually work?
Thanks to Synth Repair Wizard Thomas for lending me his OP-Z and bringing old stuff back on track:

I suggest LYRA-8. It's a bad, bad girl. This synth is freaking awesome and terribly freaky. It can irritate you so much, yet be pleasingly beautiful. It's very playable, yes, but has one distinct niche character. Weird CV that doesn't do much, 50 shades of noise 90% of the time that you use it with rare jems of gorgeous soundscapes that inevitably slide into horrible meat-grinder. Absolutely solid lifetime build quality with excellent knobs, but very specific usage. But if you sample it much, it doesn't matter, anyway it's a great synth. But bad :) You can't "program" this synth like you usually do with Moog Mother or alike, it does it's own thing while you go with the flow. Everybody on KZfaq refers to LYRA as a "beast" that need to be tamed, not your average jolly-molly poly synth, and that's something, innit?

For those outside of Sweden, a warning. All batteries eventually fail, right? Did you know that the OP-Z battery is unique/proprietary? That means that for those of us in the U.S. it has to be sent to TE's authorized servicer who charges a minimum of $50 to do anything. Add shipping and you're paying $70 for what should be a $10 battery. They weren't joking when they said it was engineered by teenagers.

The usb-c is actually quite powerful as it carries both midi and audio in and out and it's class compliant. If you plug it to a Digitakt you don't even need any other connection. You can plug a usb/midi interface for older machine. So the midi module is not as vital as it first looks. I love all the power packed in such a small form factor, it's all i expected to get when i bought a QY70 back then (which i still don't know how to use).

The music I made with mine was original and fun and took me to new places. - multitracked it's a beast. The sequencer and re-heharmonisng/modulation function on the master channel was something I've been looking for in lots of gear and a great compositional tool. Sadly the build quality gave way after lots and lots of usage. Sticky keys, crashing, things bending and falling off. One day when the OP-Z Meadow is released for £1500 I will go back to making the best glitch Hop cafeteria music ever.

I think you overlooked one feature that I think is pretty rare in a sequencer - on the master track, where the tape reel is, you can use the "piano" keys to modulate all or some of the instruments. It shows you which key and mode it thinks your song is in based on what notes you have sequenced, and by lighting up various notes it recommends some other keys you can change to. You can also limit which instruments are affected by this, so your samples or percussion is not tuned. It's a powerful little box and every single feature can be used without the screen - as long as you can be bothered to learn the layout well. I miss mine sometimes.

Roland JD-800 (or the JD-990 Rack version) and the Korg Wavestation (any version) and the Korg M3 (or even an O1W). And lastly, if you will ever be able to find one... The Peavey DPM-3.

I have the QY-100, if you edit the cutoff / res / evelope stuff on the fly or other parameters via CC and use custom accompanyment parts its an absolute beast - that's why I didn't look at an OP-Z the QY-100 is all the handheld midi I need. Plus just sit it on a blank bit of any midi synth's panel to give it an instant sequencer. Sadly the battery runtime on AA's and no backlight are the only detractors that reveal it's age. It makes no sense that you get maybe 6 hours run time from some alkaline AA's on a midi sequencer with no backlight when the OP-1f gets over 24 hours with it's built in speaker, bright display and full audio processing pipeline. I guess that's what the future has brought. But yeah if you feed AA's and time into the QY-70 / QY-1000 with nothing but some headphones, decent music comes out the other end.

I might check how much room there is inside the QY-100 as I might be able to replace the AA battery system with some lithium ion 18650 cells and a BMS. Bit of effort but maybe worth it. Or make an external power bank which can output that voltage, but it would be nicer if integrated. Will add a video about it on my channel if I do it.

There is an Op-Z app for Android from TE. I've never used the iPhone version so I can't confirm that they're identically featured but it seemed pretty complete to me. One neat feature that I don't see mentioned very often is the global transposition via the master track. It detects the key of your song and will allow you to diatonically transpose some or all of your tracks. You can sequence it too so you can program in chord changes.

There are actually 64 steps in the sequencer even if you disregard step components. You can just nudge notes offcenter in between two steps if you nudge four time you will nudge into the next step. If you nudge twice you’ll have a 32 note etc. You’ll see the colour of the lights change so you know your note isn’t centred, which is quite intuitive actually. Also, quantisation after live recording a sequence can be dialed in to taste as well and isn’t strictly fixed on a 16/16 grid either

I love my OP-Z. I'm a total sucker for Teenage Engineering. OP-Z succeeds in so many ways, and for a company chastised for high prices, the OP-Z is an absolute steal.

I personally love my OP-Z. I find it to really gel with my creativity. Definitely not for everyone, though. Quick note: the Android app works great, and you can multiply your step count by pressing shift+number on any track.

My least favourite self-obsessed hipster yootoobas have all raved about this candy bar, but never produced anything that wasn't instantly disposable. You managed a nice fingertapping coffee bar jam for the closer, but forgot to dunk the OP-Z in a large frappacino for the finale. As a paid up member of the Bananafingers Resistance Battalion, this thing is unusable without a computer, whereby it has to compete with vsts like Falcon, Omnisphere, and the bundled Ableton instruments. That's like bringing a plasticine model of a chocolate bar to a gunfight. The substance is ok, but the style overwhelms the functionality in such a relentlessly cleverdickish way that TE will never see any of my shiny pebbles. Harrumph!

Hmm... little advice for using teenage gear. "Mushrooms, Poppies, Sugar and Spice. All those things are very nice. When combined, the proper mixture, makes a getting small elixir."

Great as always. There is an android app however. Not that it would work particularly well, but I have it currently installed. It is early access and has not been updated since 2021 though.
