Cuckoo 1. is probably responsible for 80% of TE's sales. 2. should consider doing audio books.

This has become suddenly interesting. Thank you for your tutorial!

Nothing is more calming than a Cuckoo tutorial, Cuckoo's voice never fail to put me in a zen mood

3 yrs later and yr videos are as helpful as ever, THNAKS!

After 10 minutes I already have a better understanding of sampling on this than I did after an hour of trying to teach myself. Thanks cuckoo, you gold standard of tutorials you!

That jam at the end alone should have gotten you at least 10k more likes on this video. Geni.

this is exactly the functionality I've been looking for. I love making improvised rhythm kits and I've been desperate for a portable sampler that can map slices to a keypad instantly. This is awesome.

On-board sampling is a huge update. I'm just as excited about being able to pass audio out via USB. 1.2.5 is a significant update. I'm really loving the OP-Z right now.

I have to say, that song you make at the end is stunningly impressive for how quickly you scrambled together the components. Very very impressed

WOW! You deserve the Nobel peace prize! Thank you for going over all of this!

I watched this even though I don't have an OP-Z; I love your instructional videos.

Great tune and instantly recognisable as Cuckoo. I installed the new firmware the other day and have had a little play but will spend more time offer the weekend. This opens up all sorts of possibilities and makes the OP-Z even more powerful.

Nice addition to this. OP-Z seems so neat. I love my POs. Seems like a combination of many of them + some superpowers. The USB host thing is very cool. I can't wait to get it. Thanks for the spotlight.

Cuckoo, your OP-Z tutorials and other videos convinced me of the device's depth, potential and accessibility. I've ordered one as my first synth / sequencer / instrument. I'm sure I'll be rewatching them all another 50x! Thanks man.

Always amazed how clearly you speak and explain things with such little video editing. Fantastic communicator. I watch just to try to hone my own skills.

I watched your OP-Z tutorial for weeks before I got my OP-Z. Have been waiting for this tutorial so I can start getting some new sounds to my instrument. Thanks as always!

Wouldn't even know what to do with my op-z if it weren't for your awsome tutorials! Thanks!

I can honestly say that my excitement to see this tutorial was equal to my excitement for this sampling update!

The track at point 16 has such a cool Four Tet vibe with some unmistakable Cuckooisms. Thanks for the informative tutorial.

So excited for my opz to get here and dive in. Thank you so much for these incredible tutorials. Don’t know if I’ve ever commented here but you are an incredibly beautiful person. Much love to you my dude.

You crush these cuckoo. Always amazed that you do everything without the iPad app as well, super great. Thanks!

You the man . Love “your” sound, everything you do sounds like you. That’s true inspiration

That's it... sampling on it has been the missing piece on the OP-Z for me. It is now the perfect jamming gear when stuck on a hotel in some odd business trip. Too bad KZfaq decided to now notify me of this video earlier, could have enjoyed this last week. I am ordering one. Thanks, again, for the tutorials.

was waiting for this... in some way i don't consider it properly chronicled until cuckoo releases the tutorial for it. such an amazing little rectangle. lovely jam too, as always. 🖤

Great video! Thank you for the idea of sampling multiple preset snippets in the same scale into the drum sampler and then lay them down!

When Cuckoo said as features begin to grow on this lil guy my heart smiled (:

Love the complete satisfaction after the jam, moments of bliss!

Thanks so much for this m8. I now feel ready to update my OP-Z which I didn't do since November. On to make new sounds!

Amazing jam in the end there, loved it!

Shit, Cuckoo, can you imagine our life without you? You are my personal Jesus. Please, don't stop.

Your efforts are truly appreciated my man!!!

I came here for a tutorial and got my mind blown with your lil jam. You rock, dude. Always tops notch content! In other news, I got my opz yesterday due to another one of your videos. haha.

Yay a new video! I love all your videos, they're so calming and entertaining :)

AWESOME . Now i think i might get after this sampling update. Thanks for the video !

I've been on the fence about buying this, but you sir deserve a commission!

you are such an inspiration the way you enjoy educating by exploring. much respect for your developed skills. Kind healthy musical regards from out of Finland. Bastiaan Anthonie Baaij

I've been watching old videos of the OP-z and I didn't realise that it didn't sample OOB.... I hope that TE add such amazing firmware boosts on the new KOII.

You're an excellent teacher--my OP-Z is in the mail, and I'm considering wiping it clean as soon as it arrives, and working only with original samples. I'm assuming you can factory-reset it with the app. Anyways... thanks for this great tutorial. Hope you're still finding fun uses for yours.

I was on the fence about the op-z but the sampler is indeed a game changer. Thanks for the vid!

just what I needed for the weekend. thanks man

That was a great little journey! Great Press!! Keep Pressing Cheers Jingy

damn cuckoo can make music out of ANYTHING !

I don't have any of these synths, but I enjoy watching the reviews and tutorials

18:22 Cuckoo: "I'm going to make something nice out of this" Me: Ha yeah right that's just a bunch of noise... 22:38 Cuckoo: "Yeah..." Me: BRB going to throw out all of my gear...

Sampling on the op-z is so much fun!

THIS JAM AT THE END IS FIRRRRRREEEEE!

Super great tutorial... big thanx! I‘ll go to install the new firmware...it‘s a along awaiting feature for the Z! 🖖☺️

Love RPO!

Cool and clear, as always! ✌🏻

Not sure if someone's already mentioned this, but it seems to be the case that in a later update, the key to hold for adjusting input gain was changed from [shift] to [play], i.e. the same key you hold to select input source. Hope that helps.

Tutorial level: godlike.

great track at the end!

Awesome as always,, 🙏🏻

Darn It Cuckoo, how young are you? I'm 61 and forget how young I am sometimes but we kind of like distant familia since COVID brought this music back into my VIDA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND not screaming your precious lectures. One of these days I'd luv to meet n hang with ya Buddy?

I feel like you can dedicate your life to perfecting your skills with this instrument

This is fantastic!

Nice. The sequence you built puts me in mind of classic Suzanne Ciani. Hope you don't mind me sayin'.

Great theme from scratch kukkoo

You are the man.

best update they´ve come out with

Thanks I was trying to learn it, I just got one.

amazing. I want one!

Very fun, thanks!

Man, thanks for this. 100%, as always.

Green means green!! Cuckoo your the boss, sometimes it gets so hard to explain this stuff but you always deliver! Greetings from ibiza

I really hope no one watches this video until I get paid on Wednesday....love you cuckoo but you gotta lemme me know when this stuff happens before anyone else :)

thanks cuckoo! tasty jam as usual. i'm gonna run out of slots really quickly...

Nice! Maybe I get once one. Greetings from Berlin!

Ah man, proper sampling capabilities really is a game changer and nudges me yet further towards finally buying an OP-Z. I'm still really enjoying my PO-32 and PO-33 - do you think an OP-Z renders them obsolete? If so, I think that's both a good and a bad thing...

Outstanding 😃👍🏻👍🏻

Whoa. That swimming fish was cool :)

Great tutorial! Would you suggest a good ios app to trim, cut and join audio files to import them on the opz?

As always a wonderful tutorial on a much anticipated feature on a great synth. 🙏👍 (A little aside, can't you mount the mirror half way between the Opz and the camera? that should put your face on the same focal plane as the Opz...and therefore be in focus? Just a thought) EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it. It's more complicated since youre probably not sitting right above the camera. But off to the side and then it become much more difficult to calculus the lengths with angles and such😅

Just remember you *need* headphones for onboard mic sampling or you’ll get some really horrible feedback. Foolishly took me longer than I’d like to realise that’s what it was.

Love The Pokemon on the OPZ so cuteeeeee

Cool sounds like the fifth element!!!

hey would be nice if you would explain how to turn a op-z project into an ableton one if you haven done that

Will you cover the sampling on the synth slot ? I find it a bit difficult to tone out correctly

at the end bro snapped x10

damn this little machine is a beast

Did I sample off iPad synth to my OP-Z already? yes! Will I enjoy Cuckoo tutorial? hell yeas! :)

cuckoo that jam in the end can be new thom york song :) thanks for sharing

that is a very nice sampling tutorial. How about avideo where you take a 8bar loop and flesh it out into a whole song with mutegroups maybe and/or different patterns?

I wonder with the right firmwhere they could port audio out the CV outputs ? Evan if there lower bit rate converters could be interesting

Okay now I want one

bah. i just got an op1 and barely cracked the surface. and youre making me wish i had this now. closing my computer now

Is it possible to loop the synthesizer sample so that there is something like wavetable synthesis?

Imlove you kukkoo

The only thing that I wish we could do in sample mode is a one press recording instead of having to hold down the record button. I was trying to sample me playing the guitar but it’s impossible unless you have 3 hands or another person holding the record button down.

Hello I have problems with the clock controlling my opz with ableton. It goes on time. Do you know how to fix it?

Great overviews as usual....So can the OP-Z be seen in the apple audio preferences, just like when connecting an iPad to a Computer for live audio/midi inputing......also can the OP-Z be used as a midi controller with a computer like the OP1 .... can the performance effects trigger midi devices ? Such an addictive box of creativity. Excellent. Makes me wanna be a middle aged engineer 🥳

I love the mirror camera setup. It's super efficient and very Alton Brown

When you say hold rec then press stop deletes automations, what is it you are referring to step components?

hello True Cuckoo, I just bought the OP-Z, and I have a doubt to see if someone solves it, the kick goes in the first line, but can I put more kick in the following? , and if so, how?

hi, is possible merge samples? Like copy and paste sample/slice in another one and merge them? to have more samples merged together on one key? Thank you.

Where could i find the dongle that you use in the video? Thanks in any advance for any responses!! 😁

You can use a tuner app in your phone too that will work! :D

Does anyone know if I can use the USB adapter on a iPhone SE , or do I need the adapter that Cuckoo uses in this video

Think I'm gonna have to sell my volca sample and korg monologue and buy a OP-Z. I'm getting so exited at these possibilities.
