Teenage Engineering OP-Z Synthesizer and Sequencer, Black

Product Information

I've been using this to write music while on planes and trains and to demo out new ideas worked on in the rehearsal room too. any recorded effects are stored to the steps and can be cleared by pressing the corresponding steps again. Minor bugbears aside, there’s a lot we really like about the OP-Z. It’s creative and unique, and while some might bemoan the reliance on an iOS app, we really enjoy the workflow between the two devices. From a performance perspective, coupling the visual and audio elements is really inspiring. The OP-Z is unlike anything else on the market right now. TE might have another cult classic on its hands here. connect the included usb cable to the unit and charge it using a computer or any charger with a usb port.

Out of the box, the OP‑Z's physical connectivity is limited to a USB–C port and a 3.5mm audio output. The yellow knob on the left-hand side doubles as a power switch and volume control.The OP‑Z stores 10 projects with 16 patterns in each, and most of the memory slots come pre-populated with demo songs. These proved a helpful resource while getting comfortable with the navigation system, which uses a master button on the top edge of the device combined with the step and note buttons to recall projects and patterns. with the OP–Z app you see the numbers and graphs behind the music you create in real time. at a glance, you know how your instruments are balanced in the before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. this will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices. if you need to connect/disconnect wires during use, always make sure to connect the cable to the OP-Z first. never connect the 3.5mm plugs going from the OP-Z‘s input or output to a mic input on a sound card with phantom power active. this could destroy the ports on the OP-Z. be sure to charge the unit using only 5v usb power, such as that from the usb ports of a computer, or by using a dedicated usb charger. make sure you always have the OP-Z placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. use your OP-Z where the ambient temperature is between 10° and 35° C (50° and 95° F) and the relative humidity is between 0 and 95%RH. never install or use the unit in any of the following locations: The OP-Z is unlike anything else on the market right now. TE might have another cult classic on its hands here.Some additional expression can be added with the rubber pad on the front edge of the unit: it's a bi-directional, pressure–sensitive input that acts as a pitch–bend controller. It can also adjust the velocity of steps in the sequencer. Control changes can be recorded in real time, or sequenced per-step using the 'Swedish method' of holding a step while dialling in a parameter setting.

is empty and a good option when starting to build your own patterns. each project contains 16 patterns and the first pattern is selected by default.ideal for when you head down to the park, take a road trip or go on tour. the softer pvc tarpaulin roll up protective case comes in asphalt gray
