Thanks I appreciate that! I think for me instruments give self expression and I gravitate to what helps me be expressive without too much friction. Maybe I'll do a new video this or next week :) What I do now: I do music sketches on the opz to build out song structures and then use Reason 11 to make them into fuller songs.

Same thing happens here, did you fix it Pixel?

unfortunattely not @@Retromo

teenage.engineering/guides/op-z/midi midi settings for the OP-Z can be configured via the module track. first go to the module track by holding track and pressing module. the midi settings are turned on or off by holding shift and then pressing the corresponding keys while in the module track. You can toggle your outgoing midi data by doing "Shift+3" and have the midi clout out toggled on with "Shift +5"

I'm glad it was able to help! I think these devices open a lot of opportunities for work flow. A lot of what I've done is use my opz to do music sketches and then work on them more in a DAW.

Two years later, but very curious what you mean by " Another fun use of this combo is using op-1’s sequencers to set trigs on the op-z - tombola has good results."

I started off with the OP-1 and really loved the portability and the synth engines. Eventually go the OP-Z and it was like those features but enhances. I think for me, my performance with the OP-1 is never really tight enough. So it is really nice to be able to punch in the sequence and modify it. Like it is a really really awesome place to sketch music and honestly the OP-1 is so expensive that I'm nervous to bring it out and about. The OP-Z is just way more portable, but performing on the baby buttons is rough haha. The engines in the OP-Z are honestly really fabulous. There is enough variety that I never get bored. There have also been a few synth engines they've released as they continue to work on it. If you want a screen you can just use your mobile device. I think if you can even get it second hand, it's a great great buy!

I'm glad that you were able to find it helpful :)

Hey Luke, I can see about throwing together a Google doc and share it in the comments this weekend :)!

@@yannih682 Legend! Thankyou 😘

Still working on this, got busy last few days but will get this posted and I'll DM you as well and put the link in the description! Probably later this week it'll be done.

@@yannih682 Legend. You'll be a real life saver. I don't really understand the finer points of getting them talking to each other happily. Ideally my setup will end up being 2x POs, the OP-1 and the OP-Z all together.

@@LukeLendrum docs.google.com/document/d/1JC2PgChMsbVce_hnEIkcbYbACPQb_B_BnExSA2QaQ7Y/edit?usp=sharing Here is my doc to write up all the steps I took to connect the 2. I hope this doc helps clarify! I haven't really tested Pocket Operators with this setup. I think what you could do is just run stereo cables from the OP-Z to OP-Z if you want to have them all going through 1 input without the need of a mixer. If you wanted more control over each you could potentially get a Mixer for them.

Are you using headphones? I feel with the on board speakers I can't hear it all that great. You can turn up the line in from the recording button. You may have the line in volume low

Yanni H yeah, using headphones. That’s exactly what I am saying. I have to turn the line in down to stop the buzzing.

@@brigsy I got a noise isolator to help with the extra noise. I found that my opz still had a bit of buzzing to it and getting a noise isolator helped. This is what I've used : www.amazon.com/dp/B019393MV2/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_rAr5DbJ8GTRZZ

@@yannih682 Thanks. I've ordered one.

Yes

Mmm that is weird. I would test out the different sync settings to see if it makes a difference. It may the clock in / clock out setting from the opz.

You found a solution for this? Got the problem, too. Thank you

@@TH3ILLEZT Hey man, I've found that the OP-1's tape just seems to jump around. The best and most consistent solution I've found was slaving both the OP-1 and OPZ to another Master. I got RetroKits Rk006 and it has helped solve th syncing problem on my end. Hope this helps!

@@ThaddeusV21 Thank you very much, I just don't want another device between them to be as mobile as possible. Its very odd, knowing that you need a ground loop isolator, a device for the syncing problem and I also have the problem, that any device I plug into the OP1 is much more quiet then the op1 synth sounds, even if gain input is on +33 and tape is on the highest point, for 1500€ for both devices they should interact flawlessly with eachother. Shame on you Teenage Engineering

@@TH3ILLEZT anytime man. Its pretty crazy how these very premium devices don't interact flawlessly. I talked to Jeremy from Red Means Recording and he said dont even bother trying to get the OP-1 synced to Ableton because the desync is real. After trying all sorts of different ms delay settings, I found slaving to the Retrokit Rk006 as master is even more stable then syncing to an actual computer daw. I really hope TE comes out with an update that gets this all fixed eventually.

I love the sequencer on the OPZ. It feels quicker to sketch things out. It also has the ability to nudge notes after you record. So you can have a channel from the OPZ dedicated for the op1. There are 8 main tracks for the OPZ. So it just kind of enhances the experience. A lot of people think of the OPZ as a groove machine. I highly recommend checking out the OPZ subreddit for more people's feedback if you're considering getting one. I think they pair nicely
