Sounds really nice!
Did you resample through internal mic? Or what is the process?

Many thanks!

Iā€™ve set up an aggregate device on the Mac. Iā€™m using the new opz interface and the presonus. There is a send track set up in ableton to send audio to the opz whenever I want to sample from the modular. Iā€™m still tooling with the best approach but so far this seems like a quick and fairly easy method.

Sounds great Matt! And this is exactly what Iā€™m doing to sample modular or other external devices. Hopefully there is a compiled list soon for working TRRS adapters.

Havenā€™t tried the new firmware yet but had a question ā€“ are you having a sampled sequence with trigs set and playing, and then resampling the loop while it plays through that pattern, is that possible?

#473

Until now I did not find it to be much of a problem that non of my iDevices is new enough to run the op-z app. When I really need to look something up I just connect to the computer, where the app is running and where I have the manual.

But with the new sampling function I would like to see what I am cutting and wonder if I should upgrade my old and slow iPad to a new mini. Does anyone know if it is possible to sample directly from the iPad by using the offcial lightning/USB-C cable. Or does one still use the camera kit adapter. I am not a big fan of apples clunky adapters when there is also a straight cable available.

I plugged my OP-Z directly into an iPad Pro with a USB C cable and sampled directly from the YouTube app. Itā€™s pretty cool. I will say that I have experienced a little bit of buggyness with this setup where the iPad doesnā€™t recognize the Z, but still managed to get it working. Could be some lingering bugs in the firmware or could be because Iā€™m running iPadOS 13 betaā€¦

Yes, I thought it would work on the iPad Pro because of its USB C connector. I am unsure though if the USB C/Lightning cable does allow this for the iPad mini, too. The description from the apple shop only mentions powering and synchronizing with a USB C MacBook.

Teenage Engineering and Apple are really at the forefront of modern design keeping the technical information as vague as possible.

My hunch is that unless an iOS device has a USB-C port onboard, it will require a dongle (i.e. the camera connection kit) to connect any USB devices.

I think itā€™s expected that the new iPhones released later this year will feature USB-C as well so lightning ports seem to be on the way out.

I hate that you have to hold on to the record button to have it record! This makes it impossible to actually play something while recording. Hopefully this is taken care of in a update. Besides that this is awesome!

Yeah, it would super useful to have a sampling recording mode that was triggered by hitting a certain volume threshold.

#480

This probably can be added as the OP-1 already has it :slight_smile:

#481

Any one have the new update break midi with the shuttle control? Or is it just me?

Loving the sampler but it seems like every time thereā€™s a new feature something else stops working lol

#482

I tried using the OP-Z with my new shuttle system today for the first time, and it locked up the OP-Z every time. Not sure I am doing it right though. Do you just plug into one of the USB ports on the shuttle control? Or does it need a special host cable dongle like the sevillasoft?

My shuttle control was working fine out of the box with the supplied cable before the update, not sure if theres something on the shuttle system that is different, you could try to mess with the settings and make sure there arenā€™t any midi loops happening.

In my config, OP-Z is the master clock sending pulses to Shuttle Control. Sometimes I have had to replug the USB cable on the OP-Z end to make sure the correct midi relationship is established before it starts to work (Since Z can be host or slave).

Ive never had the Z lock up in this situation thoughā€¦

#484

Make sure you arenā€™t allowing MIDI in to the Z. Sometimes thatā€™ll freak it out.

#485

I will definitely check it out. Iā€™m just glad that they do work together! Thanks

#486

yikesā€¦ Iā€™ve had my eyes on the Shuttle Control and was thinking about getting one during these July 4 sales. nowā€¦ second thoughts. before it broke, did you ever get the OP-Z working as a USB host? I borrowed a friends shuttle control for a bit and could only ever get it to work in the device usb slot.

#487

I can confirm you need the Camera Connection Kit, thereā€™s some magic going on in there haha

#488

Has someone already tried sampling with a microphone / headphone splitter?

#489

Just got a promo code from B&H for a pretty steep discount on an OP-Z, is it worth picking up? Does it play well with norns, or is there a lot of overlap?
