To loop the sample: - while on the track and instrument - enter sample mode (rec + stop) - press shift to enter alt mode - spin to the right on the red dial/knob. It should be set to loop. Using the mobile app will work to visualize this. Another way to accomplish the same result would be to just hold the track button and select loop instead of gate
on the sampled track press stop+rec (this order) and then green is sample start, blue is sample end, yellow is pitch (or -/+ buttons) when pressing shift there is a new "page" so blue green is loop start, blue is loop end, yellow is trig/gate/LOOP (
@@LukePetruzzi no problem, glad i could help :))) (maybe important: i remembered the red and yellow encoders) very nice video btw, great vibe, i would use the same kind of gestures when talking about the opz haha i have it for a week now and i love it :]
There is a bug in some units. When you unmount the opz the green lights remain green anx nothing happens. Just by accident i found in a obscure post that if you press PLAY after the unmount it loads......and it works!!!
Luke, thanks again for another awesome tutorial and thanks out to Gero as well. What would we do without guys like "yous". So glad you covered this stuff. For me, the exchanging, creating, loading of sounds have always been something I've avoided, this helps a lot. I love your style and sense of humor, very impressive list of accents. You went from Aussie to "Lonk Island" in one sentence. Keep em' coming.... Lol
I had a concert in Berlin during the Superbooth 2019 and prepared a 10 Tracks performance but when I try to load up the battery before the concert and other performer start their systems (switch on the devices) I got a total deletion on my OP-Z. It was horror because nothing works anymore. No sounds , no tracks and no OS was on the OP-Z anymore. I guess it was a total erasure of the internal OP-Z memory because of a currency power peak which erase the complete internal memory. Be carefully and load up the device before concert.
Damn, I'm sorry that sucks to hear! Yeah, I have a bunch of full backups of my OPZ - pretty much any time I plug into the computer to transfer something I'll make a backup and put a date on it. The files are so small anyways!
Nice video Luke. However, I am now in 1.2.12 firmware and the exact 6 sec requirement is not necessary anymore, neither the browser script from Gero. Only a mono aiff file of 16bit 44.1khz upto 6sec long is good enough. Tested thoroughly.
On point vid, Luke! Made a sample in Ableton from Moog Arturia and loaded to OP-Z sounds proper. Woohoo, will do my real Moog and guitar maybe :) now I worked hard deserve a treat, gonna check your music on SC :)
Nice tutorial. It would be great if someone could develop a way of evaluating if a sample contains sound for all 6 seconds and if it is exactly 6 seconds. Also I would love it if there were a way to capture what the optimal envelope settings should be in order to recreate the sound so it can be quickly adjusted once imported to the op-z.
Yeah, that's what Gero and I are talking about in another comment on this video. Seems like it's a bit more convoluted to do than anticipated - and we may have to wait for TE to release a utility for us (which in my opinion they should have done at OPZ release time anyways)
Great video and a terrible user experience from OP-Z :( I just got mine, learning it and I honestly thought it's an easy-peasy task to get on new samples. Omg, how wrong I was :)

Super informative video. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this helpful information!
I think the file generator isnt working anymore. I cant make it work in my opz
Dang, may need to be updated - it's a couple years old now I think.
Works for me=) But only when uploaded file follows described condition. If something wrong with file the generator simply does not start download.
my favorite is the long-island accent. Thank you for this, very helpful.
Amazing! I'm glad this is still helpful!

Awesome, thanks for the heads up - hopefully they fix this in a firmware update!!

Haha glad to help spread the OPZ knowledge!! Also happy you love my aimless accent wanderings 😂
Is it possible to loop the synthesizer sample so that there is something like wavetable synthesis?
No, there isn't any "scrollthrough / wavetable" type of mode for synth samples yet, but that would be awesome to see in an update!

For some reason this formatting utility does not work on any browser for me.
Is it possibleto do all this on a pc ?

Amazing! Thanks man... been sampling all of Komplete 12 hahah
Another very cool and usefull video ! Thanks !
Just too bad that at some point the sound from your OPZ is so low, but I can deal with.
Ya idk what happened there, I didn't notice while editing. Luckily it isn't really important for this vid tho!
I'm still a lil confused on how to sample in chords.
Great video and a terrible user experience from OP-Z :( I just got mine, learning it and I honestly thought it's an easy-peasy task to get on new samples. Omg, how wrong I was :)
Haha glad this helped, though! :D
