Teenage Engineering OP-Z Synthesizer and Sequencer, Black

Product Information

the built-in fx are delay, reverb, bit-crush and distortion. future firmware upgrades will expand the OP–Z with even more fx. any recorded effects are stored to the steps and can be cleared by pressing the corresponding steps again. At first I was in love with what the OPZ could do and couldn't see myself returning it, but two years down the line I'm sorry I didn't. The bad quality really pushes me away from using it and it just sits in a drawer. Waste of money ultimately. At TE, the sound engineering and software team is probably doing a good job but hardware is abysmal. The price is not justifiable. usb-c host and device, wireless communication over ble, 4-pin 3.5 mm stereo headphone and line-out, accelerometer, user replaceable battery and built-in microphone. 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

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. One small issue I've noticed (and read online along with the OP-1) is that in some situations you get a loud buzzing noise if the instrument is charging via USB on a computer/laptop that is also being used to record the OP-Z from the line-out. (Only if it is the same laptop/computer). This is because it is non-isolated and creates a ground loop. I've seen isolators that can fix this problem so should be OK (and if you don't have it plugged in to charge it is no problem). For this reason I haven't marked down the OP-Z in my star rating as it is a work-around-able issue.

if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: the project button lets you choose one of the 10 projects where you work on your songs. each project connect the included usb cable to the unit and charge it using a computer or any charger with a usb port. connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. To be completely honest though, until very recently - ie the day our review unit arrived - we would have struggled to answer had somebody asked me to explain what the OP-Z actually is. It doesn’t help that the hardware itself gives very few clues as to its function. Its sleek, minimal form is adorned with buttons and rotaries labelled with often rather cryptic icons. Were you to hand someone an OP-Z without context, it’s likely they wouldn’t know whether they’re supposed to use it to make music, turn on the TV or try to make a phone call. Which all begs the question, what actually is the OP-Z? A synth? A sampler? An audio-visual sequencer? The answer is, to some extent at least, all of the above.

cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux radiations ic cnr-102 établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. cet émetteur ne doit pas être situé ou fonctionner conjointement avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur. 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. and signal yellow (pictured above). we're also happy to introduce a new line of fresh color-coded cables in various lengths and configurations.

connect OP–Z wirelessly to a mobile device. thanks to the extremely energy efficient ble technology your OP–Z will run and sync to your screen for hours and hours, without you having to charge the unit. snap a series of photos and sequence them to a beat. compose a song and create a completely synchronised music video 'a-la-minute'. the photomatic feature included in the OP–Z app is just pure instant fun.
