I watched probably 5 OP-Z reviews & first look videos over the course of a few weeks but never decided to buy. 10 minutes into his 1.5 hour long OP-Z overview video I found myself on my laptop hitting the buy button on the teenage.engineering web store for an OP-Z.
After 10 minutes I already have a better understanding of sampling on this than I did after an hour of trying to teach myself. Thanks cuckoo, you gold standard of tutorials you!
Nice addition to this. OP-Z seems so neat. I love my POs. Seems like a combination of many of them + some superpowers. The USB host thing is very cool. I can't wait to get it. Thanks for the spotlight.
Chris Dillon I agree. I don’t have an OP-Z. Ive watched numerous videos and at times it seems a little overwhelming. However, during Cuckoo’s sampling tutorial, the workflow in many aspect is quite similar to the PO-33.
I watched your OP-Z tutorial for weeks before I got my OP-Z. Have been waiting for this tutorial so I can start getting some new sounds to my instrument. Thanks as always!
On-board sampling is a huge update. I'm just as excited about being able to pass audio out via USB. 1.2.5 is a significant update. I'm really loving the OP-Z right now.
That's it... sampling on it has been the missing piece on the OP-Z for me. It is now the perfect jamming gear when stuck on a hotel in some odd business trip. Too bad RUclips decided to now notify me of this video earlier, could have enjoyed this last week. I am ordering one. Thanks, again, for the tutorials.
You're an excellent teacher--my OP-Z is in the mail, and I'm considering wiping it clean as soon as it arrives, and working only with original samples. I'm assuming you can factory-reset it with the app. Anyways... thanks for this great tutorial. Hope you're still finding fun uses for yours.
Always amazed how clearly you speak and explain things with such little video editing. Fantastic communicator. I watch just to try to hone my own skills.
Cuckoo, your OP-Z tutorials and other videos convinced me of the device's depth, potential and accessibility. I've ordered one as my first synth / sequencer / instrument. I'm sure I'll be rewatching them all another 50x! Thanks man.
was waiting for this... in some way i don't consider it properly chronicled until cuckoo releases the tutorial for it. such an amazing little rectangle. lovely jam too, as always. 🖤
So excited for my opz to get here and dive in. Thank you so much for these incredible tutorials. Don’t know if I’ve ever commented here but you are an incredibly beautiful person. Much love to you my dude.
Darn It Cuckoo, how young are you? I'm 61 and forget how young I am sometimes but we kind of like distant familia since COVID brought this music back into my VIDA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND not screaming your precious lectures. One of these days I'd luv to meet n hang with ya Buddy?
As always a wonderful tutorial on a much anticipated feature on a great synth. 🙏👍 (A little aside, can't you mount the mirror half way between the Opz and the camera? that should put your face on the same focal plane as the Opz...and therefore be in focus? Just a thought) EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it. It's more complicated since youre probably not sitting right above the camera. But off to the side and then it become much more difficult to calculus the lengths with angles and such😅
I came here for a tutorial and got my mind blown with your lil jam. You rock, dude. Always tops notch content! In other news, I got my opz yesterday due to another one of your videos. haha.
Not sure if someone's already mentioned this, but it seems to be the case that in a later update, the key to hold for adjusting input gain was changed from [shift] to [play], i.e. the same key you hold to select input source. Hope that helps.
you are such an inspiration the way you enjoy educating by exploring. much respect for your developed skills. Kind healthy musical regards from out of Finland. Bastiaan Anthonie Baaij
Great tune and instantly recognisable as Cuckoo. I installed the new firmware the other day and have had a little play but will spend more time offer the weekend. This opens up all sorts of possibilities and makes the OP-Z even more powerful.
I've been watching old videos of the OP-z and I didn't realise that it didn't sample OOB.... I hope that TE add such amazing firmware boosts on the new KOII.
18:22 Cuckoo: "I'm going to make something nice out of this" Me: Ha yeah right that's just a bunch of noise... 22:38 Cuckoo: "Yeah..." Me: BRB going to throw out all of my gear...
Ah man, proper sampling capabilities really is a game changer and nudges me yet further towards finally buying an OP-Z. I'm still really enjoying my PO-32 and PO-33 - do you think an OP-Z renders them obsolete? If so, I think that's both a good and a bad thing...
The only thing that I wish we could do in sample mode is a one press recording instead of having to hold down the record button. I was trying to sample me playing the guitar but it’s impossible unless you have 3 hands or another person holding the record button down.
Omg the part at 22:29 is so good. You make me want and OP-Z so bad but their lack of support for android devices really holds me back from making the purchase....
Yes it should work. I think there’s even a shortcut implemented to turn the mic source on, even without a physical mic button (which is usually the way to turn on the external mic).
Can I use the jack input to sample other synths? I am thinking to connect the Volca FM output into the OP-Z input using a 3.5mm jack and record pads into the OP-Z sampler. Would that possible?
Yeah I think you’ll need an adapter of sorts. The headphones jack I believe is one of those three channel jacks, the stuff you’d see on a headset with a microphone. Stereo out, mono in. So you’d need a sort of adapter for getting a mono jack input. I haven’t tried this myself, but I believe there are solutions for it. Perhaps iRig would be a solution? I think it’s in the online documentation.
I really hope no one watches this video until I get paid on Wednesday....love you cuckoo but you gotta lemme me know when this stuff happens before anyone else :)
Hey you’re using a new OP-Z! What happened to your old one? This one has the new weird icons... (instead of the original weird icons...)😅💙👍 ... I also ordered the wrong cable on eBay literally 3 seconds before you mentioned that dongle... yeesh Apple 😅😭😝
Lol, yeah I have two beta models which have shown some signs of beta hardware shortcomings over time. I personally prefer the old icons. But the new model has a better more rigid build quality. I’m keeping the older ones as experimental backup models, trying out unreleased firmwares.
that is a very nice sampling tutorial. How about avideo where you take a 8bar loop and flesh it out into a whole song with mutegroups maybe and/or different patterns?
Great tutorial, looking forward to picking up an OP-Z in the very near future! I'm guessing that the USB-C audio interface business doesn't work on Android phones?
It’s a class compliant audio interface. No drivers needed. As long as the device supports that, it should at least in theory work. I don’t know if modern Android devices generally supports class compliant audio interfaces?
hi, is possible merge samples? Like copy and paste sample/slice in another one and merge them? to have more samples merged together on one key? Thank you.
Great overviews as usual....So can the OP-Z be seen in the apple audio preferences, just like when connecting an iPad to a Computer for live audio/midi inputing......also can the OP-Z be used as a midi controller with a computer like the OP1 .... can the performance effects trigger midi devices ? Such an addictive box of creativity. Excellent. Makes me wanna be a middle aged engineer 🥳
No. Currently the drum tracks have one sample format (12 seconds, 1 unique slice per key), and the melody tracks have another format (6 seconds, one tuned sample across the whole keyboard).
Thanks! 🙏🏼 No the piano is also on a kit track. One sample per key, kinda short samples. For more percussive kind of snappy piano sounds, it's really nice to do it that way. For long sustained sounds, it'd be better with a synth track probably.
@@truecuckoo 😲 how did you know it happened between OP-Z and iPad on Maui?!?!? OP-Z was exceptional companion for two weeks proactively doing nothing 😊 Big kudos to TE made us an audio interface (even not using module slot, so easy to grab a sound! (and record into iOS DAW too!)). Great tutorial and cool freestyling, Cuckoo! and thanks for inspiring to get OP-Z from your first vids 👍 ..... Long live OP-2 (Z is "two", right? means future/next, why people don't get it 😍 )
Just remember you *need* headphones for onboard mic sampling or you’ll get some really horrible feedback. Foolishly took me longer than I’d like to realise that’s what it was.
Thanks so much for the in depth look at this feature and always inspiring music too. Is it possible to use an external mic like the h6 for recording? I’ve not found a way so far thanks❤️
If you get a headphones/ mic splitter you should be able to connect any source. I’m not sure about the quality, noise levels etc, since it’s designed for little mic signals. I’ll try something like this: www.amazon.com/ENVEL-Convertors-Smartphone-Microphone-Simultaneously/dp/B01M0T6PSF
Ok thanks so much. I was sampling outside with lots of noise level and just getting my head around how to control this so though a better mic would do but will think more creatively about this.
Job de Leeuw I have them both, but after getting the OP-Z those are in fact the two synths I’m going to sell myself as I don’t need them with this little machine in their place
At 15:19 can you post a link to the same adapter, like on Amazon? I believe you said a USB C to Lightening cable will not work. I just wanna buy the right thing.
Sure. Straight from the Apple store. www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter This bigger dongle has the advantage that it can also charge the iOS device at the same time.
Do i have to sample all sounds at once? can i sample one sample on slot1 then find another sound and sample on slot2 then wait until my dog farts to sample slot3? For now i understand i have to make all noises during ONE recording?
Great video! fyi - i just found the Screen + 2 input selection tip here to select 3.5mm input - that was driving me nuts since i thought opz would auto select trrs input once something with a 10k resistor was connected ruclips.net/video/ZzYdZRxZFR8/видео.html
Question: I have a mic/headphone splitter cable plugged into the aux jack on the opz. I can hear the audio I want to sample before I sample it, when I sample it gets a bit louder indicating that it is sampling. But when I play the sample back... it was the mic on the opz not the internal recording I was hearing. So it basically sounds like the AC and the TV. Lol. So what the hell. Is there a way to turn the mic off. The opz is flat and there is no light on the side with the mic so does not seem to be on. Is it a glitch?
The native way to select the mic as an in source is by pressing the mic button on the headset. But there’s a hidden shortcut for activating it in the scenario when there’s no mic button, I think it’s by pressing shift+screen (the square icon back side button), while in rec mode.
hi, thanks cuckoo. havin’ the same problem, and did this manip ( screen + shift ), but no red light appearing on the side as told in the manual. i’m trying to sample from my plaits module ... any tips ? am i missing somethin’ ?
hello True Cuckoo, I just bought the OP-Z, and I have a doubt to see if someone solves it, the kick goes in the first line, but can I put more kick in the following? , and if so, how?

You could record your guitar and play it back. Alternatively, use a clothes peg to hold down the record button for you (I do this with my PO33)
a threshold setting would be dope!

I never use it with my ipad and have an android phone. No regrets on the purchase!
With the TRRS mic support, does that mean that we could use breakout cables to plug in a proper audio in jack?
Yes it should work. I think there’s even a shortcut implemented to turn the mic source on, even without a physical mic button (which is usually the way to turn on the external mic).
@@truecuckoo Incredible! Thanks Cuckoo!
curious if anybody has tested this
Check the Facebook group, there’s been extensive testing, some breakout cables work and some don’t

Great tutorial, looking forward to picking up an OP-Z in the very near future! I'm guessing that the USB-C audio interface business doesn't work on Android phones?

Great tutorial! Would you suggest a good ios app to trim, cut and join audio files to import them on the opz?
hello True Cuckoo, I just bought the OP-Z, and I have a doubt to see if someone solves it, the kick goes in the first line, but can I put more kick in the following? , and if so, how?
thanks cuckoo! tasty jam as usual. i'm gonna run out of slots really quickly...
Hello I have problems with the clock controlling my opz with ableton. It goes on time. Do you know how to fix it?
Tutorial level: godlike.
great track at the end!
I'm in love with the op-z already and mine doesn't come in until Saturday
I love the mirror camera setup. It's super efficient and very Alton Brown

You can use a tuner app in your phone too that will work! :D
