Ryan Diefenbach is a versatile producer and multi-instrumentalist, known for his organic, melodic sounds and innovative blends of various elements within house and techno. Originally from Australia, Ryan honed his skills as a performer in some of Sydney's iconic music venues, including the Oxford Art Factory and World Bar.
In 2016, Ryan moved to Berlin, where he began experimenting with live guitar during his DJ residency at Panke for Deck2Deck. Over time, he developed a unique live setup that also incorporates various synthesizers, creating an unforgettable experience for audiences.

Love this ! How did you get to sync your Dj controler with the Digitone, does it send midi or do you do it by ear ? I'm trying to build a similar hybrid setup.
IMO, The OP-Z is the only OKAY product that TE makes apart from the pocket ops. Terribly arrogant company otherwise. Even then, the OP-Z has had its fair share of controversies (specifically, deliberately choosing low-quality plastic and marketing the VERY COMMON defects as a feature); arrogance at its finest. Otherwise, I think the OP-Z is a decent toy to carry around to experiment whenever you have that cool idea that you want to try out, but it's delusional to say this is a full-fledged "all-in-one" type of tool.
A lot of fair stuff in your opinion about TE but obviously their POs and a lot of other products have a massive appeal to many people. I stand by the statement that the OP-Z can be an all-in-one with certain limitations that I discuss at length in the video.
Thank you I had completely forgotten about that track haha - yes it's from an OP-Z only live jam I still have available on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vEkeutlIPLs.html&ab_channel=RyanDiefenbach
Hi - the guitar and the OP-Z are each going into an input on my Zoom H4n, that's it :) - I imagine if you use the Line module you'd be able to make a more complex setup combining the OP-Z and guitar
Hi! Glad you found it helpful! In terms of the P5 if you meant Prophet I don't own that synth but if it doesn't send midi out from the sequencer you could also try a hacky workaround by recording the audio and then using the audio to midi feature in Ableton? Good luck! 😊
It definitely goes in waves for me as well. Whenever I travel and don't have room for much other gear or hook it up to Ableton I usually get the inspiration back for it :)
I did NOT know this thing could connect to your phone and use it as a screen, that almost essentially turns it into an OP1. I now want this thing even more. Id really like to have either the OPZ or the OP1 (or even the KO2) along with the POM-400. The only teenage engineering device ive been able to afford is one of the cheaper pocket operators, the Arcade one. Ever since i was in the US Army and stationed in Germany i got into doing the whole mixing DJ thing. Im still using the REALLY old Hercules DJ controller. But ive always WANTED to make my own music, ive just never been able to afford the stuff to do it with. Ever sense getting out of the Army back in 2011, even a $100 device has been out of my reach. Ive been stuck doing my best with FREE phone apps and the like, such as the flip sampler app from Andrew Huang. Id love to one day have an op1 or something similiar to be able to broaden my horizons.
Hello, and many thanks for this awesome video, but for me isn't works the setup. I don't know what is happening. What happens to me is that all the tracks sound at the same time on channel 1. How should the OP-Z be configured to ensure that each OP-Z track separately derives the sound of each channel into the corresponding Ableton live track ?
"You Need to be more Aggressive" I can relate to that comment when I was a teenager. I was always squeamish about going in for the kill after putting my enemy/bully/opponent to sleep with a cold, solid hard, knockout strike. Even if I did hit them while they were on the ground and unconscious I would only do 7-10 hard hits while they were sleeping and no more than that. Kids would make fun of me for it but I would never try to crack their skulls open or kill them while they sleep.
Wow! Amazing documentary! Respect and honour to everyone the fighters the trainers the team and gym its so kind to open up a place and support sponsor the fighters giving the youth a chance to make it in the world..also when watching the fighters cutting weight reminds me of when I had to do that it was brutal even though I played it smart and diet alot of my weight down before the cut there was still alot to go so when I started the actual weight cut it was just like these fighter's training sauna suits eating and drinking almost nothing if anything at all its incredibly dangerous and really takes a toll on the body you basically starve and dehydrate yourself and after all that on the day of weigh in I still nearly didn't make it so spent even more time in the sauna room at which point I was on the verge of collapse! It was only when I weighed in naked too did I make it😊
There's a separate video on my channel about the photomatic function if you want a stepping stone before going into full video packs. Check out the tutorials from VideoLab if you want to get some more advanced insights. No need to use all the features at once either - just have fun 😊
Tusen takk! I just got back from Gøya festival and have my next gig coming up at Ostara in Oslo Friday July 21. If you want updates I usually communicate on Instagram when I will be playing with full details. Thanks so much for being interested enough to ask!
