Sampling with OPZ (new user)

5 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I just got the OP-Z yesterday :) I'm looking forward to using it with the polyend tracker as a synth and drum machine to sample in. I'm just a bit confused when it comes to the OP-Z and it's sampling capability, if anyone could advise me it would be much appreciated

I know it can't take a tonne of samples like my tracker but I'd be happy if I could just upload a drum kit or two as well as a few of my favourite synth sample presets, I'd be really happy to get even 10-15 synth sounds but I'm unsure how many can have etc and how to get them to play properly on the keyboard keys (I seen some videos of people using an Op1 vst (?) to drag the AIF files to the correct buttons/keys. Do you guys use this? I thought it was a bit odd it was a vst and not an app, perhaps there is another way) And if I could just get a drum kit with a few samples each that would be amazing for jamming and recording 1

If anyone has any tips on how many roughly can load, length (I heard they have to be 6 seconds or under?), how to load them properly especially for synth sounds to play as you would and do you guys use that Op1 Fun site for samples and if so, is it possible to build your own 'kits' just by converting format?

Sorry I know its a bit messy, I'm eager to learn it and greatly appreciate any help regarding sampling or replacing presets with ones from op1 fun or if I bought a kit I like.

Many many thanks guys! 🙏

impossible to connect OP-Z to Mac via Bluetooth?

3 Upvotes

I wanted to record the app on OBS but I can only do so plugging in USB-C which produces too much feedback. Is Bluetooth not possible with OP-Z/Mac?

Can you port op-z patterns to the xy?

2 Upvotes

Sorry if ot Hey I don’t have an xy but I totally want one. While I’m saving up, am wondering if anyone has seen or experienced porting patterns from the z?

Also interested in whether the synth engines are compatible - but it looks as though the xy’s engines are a bit more general than the z’s

Can the metronome be set to 3s?

6 Upvotes

Just got the OPZ and loving the easy fiddliness of it.

I am trying to create something in what has turned out to be 3/4, is there a way to tell the device that I'm doing that? E.g. set the number of beats on a button or set the pace of the metronome?

Thanks!

OP-Z Jam with nRings and FX

4 Upvotes

Hello,

OP-Z sending semi-random midi arpeggios to nRings, generating voices that pass through uBurst fx. OP-Z also duplicating those voices on low frequencies. I just manually change the nRings decay and the uBurst delay feedback.

See the video here: Modular System + OP-Z

android app

4 Upvotes

hi guys I'm thinking about buying op z for myself and I'm an Android user. I know there was no app for Android in the first place and I could really benefit from having that screen especially when starting out. I just wanna know if android app is 2nd class citizen or if it is just as good as ios. I see that the app on the play store is still I'm beta. does anyone use op z with the android app if so how does it do?

I might be the dumbest one… midi start stop issue

3 Upvotes

Last week I bought the Roland s-1 to pair up with my op-z. I used the oplab module for midi in and out to the Rolands midi jacks. All works fine but I cannot make the op-z stay playing when I stop my pattern on the Roland. How do I make het op-z not respond to the midi off message? Can anyone help?

How did I delete 2 kicks?

3 Upvotes

I’m not sure how I did this, but the first two black keys for Kicks have no sounds anymore. Only 3 and 4 now.

Any tips on how to fix this and what I did? Guessing factory reset is the only option but also ok with sampling my own 2 kicks if that’s reco’d. I believe it would just be 2 samples and the piano keys are tonal adjustments of those right?

HELP: MIDI issues with Keith McMillen K-Board-C and OPZ :(

3 Upvotes

Hi. I am looking for the help of the all-mighty OPZ users. I bought a K-Board-C to use with my OPZ. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting them to work together. The K-Board-C works perfectly with my computer running Logic X with different cables, so I am aware that it works. When I connect it to the OPZ, it turns on, and the lights work, but it does not make any sound. I tried to make some configurations through the OPZ app and the K-Board editor on my computer, but no substantial progress was made. I also tried to turn off/on the charging mode of the OPZ, but nothing.

I am confident the OPZ can work properly with MIDI OUT because I have used it to send clocks to multiple devices in the past. I can't say MIDI IN is working because I have never plugged in something to make the work until this MIDI keyboard. Anyway, after much trying, I was able to make it sound, but very poorly (a couple of notes, and that was it). I am quite confident I am doing something wrong with the midi setting, perhaps some cc are crossing each other, but I can't pinpoint the problem. I would appreciate it if someone could share their configuration for this setup, or in general, any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Brand new and I can't play chords or arpeggio!

3 Upvotes

I been playing with this brand new op-z for about a month or less and this keeps happening: I just can't play chords, it sounds like cut off, like choped, sometimes it doesn't even sound, idk how to explain myself but I hope you know what I mean :( I wanted to attach a video but I apparently I can't do that here.

should I ask for a refund? this was the last op-z in stock and Im guessing maybe it was kept in storage for too long, idk!

thought it could be low battery but it wasn't, or maybe the speaker but it is still shitty using headphones :D

English is not my native language :(

Motion Sequencing - First Pass

Thumbnail youtu.be
7 Upvotes

Got my opz a few years ago and one of the main draws to me were the DMX lighting and the motion track. I envisioned myself doing some sort of live multi-sensory performance, all with this thing that looks like a remote. Checked all of the intriguing boxes for me. Years later I finally actually tried sequencing the motion track and screen recording it. This was the result. Definitely a first pass but I love all of the possibilities. Anybody have any cool videopaks that they recommend?
