1.2.5. New Update Features: don't loose clock sync when switching project via pattern change. My op-z arrived just today - perfect timing... :-)

Wonderful video! Thanks Jeremy. :-) One useful tip I _think_ you missed out: choose a track, hold down ^ and mess around with the dials. When you release ^ the dials go straight back to their original settings.

Just ordered mine...hopefully it comes with talent!

Thanks for making the OP-Z so much more accessible, J!

Great Video! You can also temporarily adjust parameters on a sound while holding "shift" during a performance - then when you let go of "shift", it will go right back how you had it.

Hey Jeremy, love your videos man. I was on the fence about picking one of these up but I ordered one after watching your first few walkthrough videos. I've been absolutely loving it so far. Just an idea for you, I'd love to see a video where you revisit one of your OP-1 tracks and recreate it with the OP-Z and give some insight on what worked, what didn't, how you had to approach certain sections, what you could do with one OP that you couldn't do with the other. Thanks for your videos man! Really helpful to the synth novices out there such as myself.

Man, even your demo test tracks are fire!

Thanks for making all these! Wonderful stuff!

Fantastic, thanks for doing this, you rock! I feel like I’ve been stuck doing everything with one pattern but these techniques should help in building bigger songs/performances.

Thanks Jezza! 16:07, additionally you can just hold shift (or up), funk things up... then release to return to what it was before holding shift.

I have just discovered this channel. Grade A stuff. I'm hooked instantly and this is real quality stuff. This why I love KZfaq

Awesome! I'm currently doing a full version of Visage's Fade To Grey on mine. It's sounding great so far...

Most details on the OP-Z evarrrrr. Great series man 💪🏽. Next the po modular or naw?

Terrific! Great machine, great player!

You fixed the green knob !!!!!!! THANK YOU

Just a heads up. The performance track sequences midi as well. So if you sequence a hardware synth make sure to map the CC’s and you will have your externaln synths respond to every punch in effect. It’s a game changer imo!

Very helpful especially since I finally released my album, I want to start performing Live and the OP-Z seems like a great tool to start with. Thank you

Marvellous tours !

Amazing sound!!!! Magic! Nice man!!!!

You can hold shift (Up) to tweak synth settings, and once the button is released they will return to what they were prior to holding it down.

Great job on the video!

Ahhh the instant pattern switch is such an underrated feature! awesome. I loved that in Geist

Dude you’re awesome!

Another great video, thanks for making this series. I'm using mine with component and trigger sparks to play into Ableton. It's enjoyable enough as a synth box on its own but using the sequencer features on Ableton... I just love it so much.

Good to know about the hickup, I was wondering why you mix the tracks in post. Hope they fix this cause it s kinda of essential for a live performance tool

Whew, you fixed the knob orientation ;)

That's some damn fine tencho.

Man I dont even HAVE an OP-Z and I still watched this entire series all the way through

Anyone know how to completely remove a pattern chain you've saved in one of the white keyboard keys?

Would love to see some stuff on midi control with the OP-Lab and midi sequencing other devices using the op-z

I tried using a midi controller for selecting mute groups. This way you are able to make one layerful rich pattern and then just “play” it with the mutegroup controller. Problem is when one changes the pattern, the selected mutegroup does not follow. Maybe TE can incorporate that option into a config file flag, like the one of the parameter lock. Great video btw...

Has the project switch issue you discuss ever resolved in an update? I'm really looking at this device but chaining patterns is very important for the kinds of music I write.

Wow, none of those performance effects seem to sound bad at all, unlike scatter effects on a certain other brand of groove boxes. I get my OP-Z today so I’m excited to see how it works

I love the beat you use in this video. Are most of those samples loaded by you or did they come with the OP-Z?

Has anybody found a way to export or otherwise capture photomatic or motion videos without the border/HUD that shows which Roll is being used and the number of each picture being displayed? I have tried screen capture from iphone and quicktime video record on macbook pro with video from iphone via lightning cable. Is there some way broadcast the video from iphone to external monitor via lightning to HDMI that would allow me to record a clean video?

Great series, thanks. But what about built in Mic? Its imho big performance think :-)

Sorry if you already answered this long ago but what Ipad are you using?

I don't press play when switching from one sequence to another and don't seem to have the hiccup.

Hey, Jeremy. Thanks for the videos! Do you know if the Artiphon Instrument 1 would work with the OP-Z? Really curious, since that would be an ideal way for me to input notes.

Mr. Blake, I love your songs!!! Especially sing me to sleep and depression is here and D0-5 pt 1 and 2. I just wanted to know the best way to support you is. Do you make money if I listen to you on Google play music or KZfaq music and radio, or should I buy it on Apple music (which I don't have but just wondering) or Bandcamp??? Pls help pls!!! Also depression is here and I need some more music videos!!! (And also I and boy just in case I thought I was a girl cause my name is Adrian!!) -adrian!!

Did they fix the hiccup?

This video is so much fucking win! Love it

If you prefer to use the touchscreen instead of the encoders, something could be improved in there.. maybe you could suggest them to actually use the full res of that encoders (1024 steps) instead of emulating 24 steps per rotation like in the op-1 which sucks sometimes for musical expression. having to turn a knob 4 times in order to change a parameter feels very very slow..

I just had a look at the latest firmware updates and it seems that the project change hiccups sadly are still there and TE could not fix it by now, right? How are people dealing with this over time?

Thanks for the vid! Great as always. Been kinda intimidated by this expensive crazy Swiss Army knife thing. This definitely inspired me though. Hey and real quick, I have a fix for your project switch hiccup problem. Ive been playing my op-z with the output going into my op-1. Mostly so I can mix, use effects, and utilize the awesome compressor on the op-1 as well. Since you can record external audio straight into the op-1’s tape, you can record a loop and maybe even throw some nitro on top/mess with tape speed (like slow down to half speed to build some tension) while switching projects on the op-z. Thanks again, you’re a hero and a wizard. W I Z A R D H E R O

ok now, I have never opened the app, not once. After seeing this I must do it. Just the touch strip for adjusting the lfo and filter seems much faster. thanks mang

One question, please. No one answering somehow, even if answer is no, I like to know - can OP-Z drive any iPad app with midi, or intake midi. VIA Bluetooth? Or wireless is only to connect screen control? Thank you bulks!

Can anyone Tell me how i can get my Songs/loops on a pc to Upload them to SoundCloud ?

Have you seen the new module that goes into the opz?

12:47 your hand clearly indicates some type of workout that you have been doin

I think the hiccups have been fixed in the last firmware:)

it's interesting your op-z stops playing like that after switching projects. Mine doesn't seem to at all, and starts after the previous bar ended too. Is this a common bug?

I'm just scared this box will have a specific sound that everyone using it will have a familiar sound.

I have no experience with making music like this, but the OP-Z handling looks far more complicated than the OP-1

its a little confusing as you refer to projects as patterns in your explanation

I think it’s solved now

First!
