Thank you very much for this necessary tutorial that TE should have done by themselves. No explanation of each step component in their manual, incredible...

Nice that you summed up all the tutorials into one video! This is great. Very thorough and easy to follow explanations as well. I do have one question - are you using the stock sounds for these videos or are you using custom samples/synths? I've found the stock synths in the OP-Z to be a bit lacking, but it could just be my lack of imagination when I'm tweaking the parameters...

@soundtechnology 5 жыл бұрын

All of sounds you hear are from the built in drum sample packs & synth engines. You only have 2 synth engine parameters to tweak, but you also have a number of other ways to shape your sounds - filter, LFO, envelope, send FX and even the tape track. We found you can squeeze a lot out of the synth engines, considering how limited they may seem at first. You can also save your own synth patches by holding track, and at the same time holding any of the bottom row of keys (white notes of the keyboard.) That way you can avoid landing on the familiar OP-Z sounds every time. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. I just recently became familiar with how to save presets and it's definitely helped a lot. My main issue with the OP-Z is only having the two effects sends + not knowing exactly what the two synth parameters actually do for any given synth. You're right though, some of the synths can sound quite good with enough tweaking. Again, your videos have been quite informative and helpful for learning the basics of the OP-Z. Cheers!

Great video you did a hell of a job explaining it... Love your KZfaq......However this thing is more work than its worth imo, too much pushing things and guessing values and all that for nothing that great imo

How do you get two of the same synth playing the same melody? Are both synths on a single track? Or do you have the same synth on two tracks?

@mathewdenboer 5 жыл бұрын

Wondering the same thing. I imagine they would need to be on different tracks (because you wouldn't be able to pan the same trig left and also right), so I can see achieving this by using Configurator to put the same engine on two separate tracks - lead and chords for example. That's my theory anyway.

@soundtechnology 5 жыл бұрын

In this instance, we've used 2 separate synth tracks with the same melody programmed. Each track has the same synth engine loaded so they sound the same.

That's correct yes!
