This is a very illustrative video of what the OP-Z is musically capable of. What drew me to it is that the device has no screen. Everyone keeps complaining about the lack of screen, to me the fact that it lacks a screen it’s what’s makes it super cool. The lack of screen completely streamlines your workflow in ways you wouldn’t though possible as the video clearly shows. On top of it, it’s battery powered and tiny. The device is absolutely genius and cannot wait to get my hands on one. Congrats on the video, well done!

Nice tutorial. Will be following along when I get an OP-Z.

Almost an Aphex Twin vibe! Super helpful video :) looking forwards to mine arriving one of these days

Hadn't really considered the op-z before but really starting to think I need one! Great video, and i love the tune, would love to hear a finished track!

170? This is a good tempo for making beats on crack.

Thanks for this. Just got mine today

I’m excited to mess around with this think I’m getting one tomorrow I’m hyped.

very well done

This was very helpful, thanks!

so chill

Aha aha aha. Interesting. A good tutorial 👍🏽

Thanks for the guidance

This is the exact video I needed. I've been getting OP-Z questions but up until this video I hadn't seen it being used in a way I'd imagine using it. I totally understand it's appeal now.

I really like the way you shot this! Not easy to do with such a small device. The experience of using the OP-Z doesn’t translate to KZfaq as naturally as the OP-1, but I appreciate you narrating when the colors of the LEDs change even though the camera can’t quite pick it up

Nice tutorial. But, the song is waaayyy better on a lower tempo... :D

Great vid. Subbed 👍

Good work Brandon! /Muhr

like it :) was wondering to buy it. Now i will... thx :D

More step component instruction, and sample load tips would be awesome.

Very helpful. Thank you. Currently waiting to see if I win my bid for one on eBay. I hope I'm not getting ripped off paying too much 🤞

Hey Brandon! Nice video mate. I ventured into the world of prime numbers & procedural music on the OP-Z recently... made a video on it too =) There are so many possibilities with this unit!! 😅💙👍

Really beautiful sounds! How does this compare to a Novation Circuit? Seems similar in function but a lot more compact

Can you maby do a tutorial using your phone as a display for mixing and mastering ? What FX this got and stuff ? How men's FX can you use per instrument and master channel ?

Can you save your own presets and what if you wanna put mir bass in the Kick and more highs on the Snare and a reverb. ?

Do I know well that if you make more than 1 bar so more than 16 step then no way to use step components anymore? Thx

Huh the sparking icons are different on mine. Looks better on the earlier versions I think.

Amazing video, thanks! Really helps as I’ve just got the op-z and haven’t used step sequencers before. Quick question: at 2:45 where you set the number of bars from 1 to 8, it seems that it’s really setting the number of beats her step. So now each light represents eight beats? It’s tricky to me because now the lights don’t fully represent everything going on in the step - is there any way to expand them to see all the beats? I’m also having this problem with multiple hits on the same step, i.e. layering multiple kicks. I can’t see the individual kicks anymore, just one light that represents both. Am I missing something? Thanks for this video, subscribing!

This was a great demo. I’m on the fence now. I already have the OP-1 and was hoping this would have some of the sound synthesis capability, but unless I’m wrong, it seems it is highly preset driven, and you can only modify the preset sounds with filters. Is there any sound synthesis capability like LFO/waveforms/ADSR sculpting? Also, is it possible to connect a external keyboard either via USB or wireless? It seems like the buttons are a bit stiff to play. And I guess the most often asked question - is it worth the money in your opinion?

But how do you know how loud you are in the master or how hard the compressor works on the master channel? What if track 1 is overdrive but you didn't realize it ?

This is very cool. May I ask a very primitive question? How did you record audio?

4:16 did you delay the kick.. hope not :))

I'm really tempted to get the Op-Z, but I own an android device, do you really the screen to fully enjoy the opz experience ?

can you sample sounds with the internal mic or a line in? like in the op-1 or the po-33?

WTF this costs over 500€?!?!?! :D :O Why is this little thingy so expensive?

Pretty interesting but still not for me but a good tutorial. 👍🏽🍻

great video but the autofocus gave me a headache

And this thing costs 600 Euro? :-(

Its too geeky, A niche market I feel.

This is more of a toy, i cant take this serious in the studio..sure its impressive but for this money i can get any fuking sh elektron synth

It is an ugly looking device though.
