This is a neat trick and can be used to nice effect, courtesy of Michael Helqvist on YT

I just tried to set the fx tracks as inputs to the tape track but it seems like it doesnā€™t workā€¦ Is it just me? I thought this might be a cool work around for lack of dry/wet.

Itā€™s actually pretty simple. It is a buffer loop of a set number of bars. Each of the ā€˜whiteā€™ keys (under the number keys) is a section of the loop buffer and the number that is selected is the number of beats PDFs the buffer youā€™re cutting out and repeating. Iā€™m guessing that might not be the MOST descriptive. But thatā€™s the basic function. You can then speed up a or down those slices or toggle which channels are sent in to the buffer.

I think tape is running parallel to FX. Iā€™ve wanted to send only the delay channel to the tape to little effect.

Iā€™m currently using my OP-Z with a QuNexus keyboard over USB, but would like to add a knob-based MIDI controller to my live setup. Does anyone have experience with using multiple MIDI devices over a USB hub with the Z? It sounds like firmware 1.1.27 added support for this configuration, but I just wanted to check and see if there were any known snags before making any purchases. Thanks!

anybody know how to change the key? Iā€™ve entered the notes of the key of G major in the bass track but it does not recognize it. I get ā€œundefined keyā€. C major works fine.

edit: found a fix. Clearing the pattern and re-entering the notes on the bass track did the trick.

got mine yesterday

this thing is a BLAST

it look me a longtime to justify picking one up but the ease of sampling & usb audio i/o make it well worth the price (for me)

iā€™m seeing it as a supercharged + streamlined stack of PO-33s rather than a stripped down version of the op1

mabye iā€™ll grow to find flaws but itā€™s amazing to play with so far :blush:

Happy you like it! What amazes me about it is how I feel you can really hear the personnality of its users through the results of what people make with it. The sign of a versatile and well made instrument I think, that it doesnā€™t just keep you within its walls but really open you up to access things that feels like you. I can really hear you through your first jams with it and it doesnā€™t sound anything like what I or @yobink do with it. Itā€™s very nice.

Man, you guys are really making me consider picking up an OP-Z again. Apparently TE added a reverb thatā€™s actually usable in the past few months, which was my biggest gripe when I had one - well, that and the tiny buttons were a bit hard to use for my sausage fingers.

Has anybody here used the OPLAB module to trigger external synths? Is that pretty intuitive? Iā€™d like to be able to sequence my NTS-1 (and other future synths) with whatever hardware brain I end up buying.

Iā€™ve used the OP-Lab quite a bit and as long as you have an iPhone or Android to set up midi channels, it works damn well!
