For anyone discovering this video now in 2022, Jeremy’s trick for step length at 11:20 in the vid is for the tape track, but it’s also sustain for notes and chords on the synth channels. If you want sustained chords, you can hold the step and hit your chord real quick to enter it and then hold the step and hit the next step you want the sustain to release on. These vids are life savers! Just got my OP-Z today.

my favorite part is that I was gonna make a stupid comment asking what's on that cheeky coaster in the bottom right, but I decided to watch the whole video first, and was rewarded with an uncropped view of the desk in the end card

This video is as good as any to post this... The KZfaq algorithm decided I needed to know about your OP-1 videos and in the space of less than a week from that discovery I now have an OP-1 and OP-Z in my hands and 2x POs (33 & 35) on the way. RIP my wallet but thanks for inspiring me to finally make the transition from instrumentalist to EDM producer. Your videos are amazingly helpful and your OP-1 albums are an inspiration.

it's the best time to be a OPZ owner! I got the gist of the device by myself but these videos really help me go granular on this little thing. the invisible steps when setting a higher bar count and the fact that the p-locks are still on their own 1 bar grid completely escaped me.

Amazing video as usual. The sequencer and the step components are what making the OP-Z so powerful. I’ve been using it a sequencer to trigger Ableton resulting in some crazy odd metered tracks. I have to start using the automation more. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Can't wait to get my opz... I know I'll be watching all these videos a dozen times when it finally gets here.

great stuff, always watching op-z videos for snippets of info and people workflows etc

Awesome. Fantastic. You are the man👊🏼™️loving this series. Thanks for the effort and insight. 🙏🏼

this is like watching the matrix for the first time! 🤯

its such magic! such a powerful lil thing and you give it such life.

I just looked up to try to remember the drum machine you used during your "Flailing" videos. and here I see you've uploaded a new video just 15 minutes prior. Guess I'm kicking back for 13 minutes.

Just got an OP-Z about a week ago and love it. I have watched almost every KZfaq video available on this device and I gotta say I haven’t seen anyone who can make this thing sing like you can, that techno set was amazing... excellent work. Love these videos dude keep em coming. Also thank you for making videos using the iPad. I don’t understand why more people don’t use a screen.... especially for tutorials. I find the tutorials with out use of a screen make learning difficult so thanks again for being one of the few guys out there doing it!

Excellent, as always...

If only they made a sequencer like this in a Beatstep Pro style unit. I'd be all over it! I can't get into the teeny tiny buttons but the features are awesome.

Nice vid with great overview. Just missed: Sequencing/editing Velocity with trig+Pitch Bend, Nudging microsteps with trig+(-/+), Length with trig+endpoint, Nudging sequence with trig+(-/+) and all the copyimg of seq, settings, tracks with p+shift.

thanks jeremy!

great glitch skills

Regarding increasing the step length (6.00), another limitation is that track polyphony is defined as polyphony PER STEP. So the chord track only allows 4 note polyphony PER STEP. So if you increase step length, you may run into issues where polyphony gets cut off.

Hi Jeremy - love the vids as always. If i may make a quick helpful suggestion (apologies if you already did this) - do your viewers know that the knobs aren’t standard - it looks like you either ordered them separately or 3d printed them. thanks for all the great content :)

Thx dude!

Legit IDM machine! Warp Records, here I come 😛

I love these tutorials and appreciate them, but can you make another set assuming we are even dumber?

Oh boy, this is really cool! I’ve had one for three months now and I’m still trying to come to terms with the sequencer. I must have done something with one track after lengthening the step length, because now even after clearing the pattern, I still have ghost notes left over. I hold down the track key and see steps with green lights on them, but I can’t seem to make them go away. It’s a mystery to me. I’m hitting up a user forum for answers, because I am baffled. If anyone knows a good one, please reply.

I would love a final video where you discuss what you think the op-z is good for from your point of view (your music). Could you do the same tracks you do with the op-1 alone ? to what extent ? I watched so many op-1 and op-z youtube videos that i think i could use right away even if I have never had any. I noticed that most songs op-1 songs sound low-fi or lower quality in general comparend to the very clean sound of the op-z. Is this a thing or am I wrong ? I think i prefer the op-1 more, because i like the keys, and i like the playful workflow of overdubbing / sampling / resampling instead of just “cold” sequencing. I wanted to buy it as soon as it became available again, but i just noticed the 40% price increase today :(

Does parameter locking interpolate in between steps ? great series though!

Very random question but I haven't seen this answered before. Where do you get your high quality 3.5mm cables? Google has not served me well here.

Powerful sequencer that has 16 steps only..hm...yes, you can make the pattern longer but you'll loose the resolution...looks Volcaish. The only a thing that makes this device still considerable for me is that it can store 160 patterns.

but then how do you make longer songs and patterns when you don't have control of the trigs as you increase the step length? like a 4 bar chord progression with a melody on top. do you work around this? as in making several patterns to switch between or do you know of a more ergonomic method?

how do you sequence say 64 steps when the rate reduces as you do so? i mean how do you control the 16th notes of a hihat as you increase the step length? anyone know this?

How can I access that touch slide on a Mac?

Where’s Octocat?

I thought the tracks were only 2-note polyphony...? Excepting the Chord track, which is 4.

I got to 7:40 mins, like yeah, cool I get that, then boooooooooom you blew my head off!

Why does your all seeing eye light up between 1:04 and 1:05??

Do you like it better or less than the OP-1?

Can you sequence more than 16 steps?

So once you go beyond 16 steps you lose individual step access in terms of parameter locking, etc? Do people find that to be a drawback?

The real question is if the opz is going to become peoples favorite over the op1

Dave.

after 8 min it becomes impossible to follow along!

Good vid, but. Very fast for a newbie. Lots of stuff done lightening fast. I was lost after a few mins.

Not first \o/ The OP-Z seems like a tough synth to learn without an Ipad. Circuit took me a while to learn but this seems even harder !

Red means STOP

Features looks very cool but personnaly I think this OPZ is ugly as hell and buttons looks like the cheapest I have seen. The idea to use an Ipad for screen is dope, more hardware should do the same.
