I just got the OP-Z from teenage Engineering!
This is my first look at it.
This is a really cool, portable and competent little synth with a nice and straight forward sequencer inside of it.
It is about 650 USD though... Is it worth it?
Im also announcing the winner of the first giveway and putting out a new one!!!

Sorry to hear about brain tumor and surgery, just stay positive it will all work out in the end. Also a thing to keep in mind, yes you might lose hearing but you will still be alive and able to still make music. Don’t let nothing stop your creativity and passion.

@AndyTanguay 5 лет назад

Great review as usual. I love the thing. Scored one in late October. I love the idea that it's usable as it is, but you could add a big iPad screen, talk to external synths, eventually regular MIDI, probably sampling, DMX light shows, video, etc. It's a platform with room to expand. It's nuts. I hear you...the synths mostly sound like crap and they're less open to tweak than the OP1. Rumors have it that there may be downloadable synth packs in the future. Stay well!

@AxmGeet 5 лет назад

Hey Accurate, I appreciate the honest take on the OP-Z. I ordered it because I love my OP-1, but I gotta admit I struggled a bit with the price tag as well. I think there's a little special mystique about TE that gets people a little dazed about their gear. That includes me. Again, thanks for helping me with my Machine workflow as well- your sample workflow has really helped me adopt my routine. :)

I just got the op z and it’s super dope. For someone like me a casual beat maker who tends to stick to the same formula it’s really inspiring. I’ve been making beats I never would have thought I’d without the OP-Z. It almost feels like cheating because literally just about everything sounds good on this thing. So dope.

You didn't get very far with it in the review. The effects track, the muting groups, the sample channel. It's way more than just a sequencer and FAR more than a pocket operator.

@yarrowcentral 5 лет назад

I would argue that in this one he's pretty biased based on his history and love for the OP-1. They are completely different animals, and different price points, which he touches on briefly between his repeated comparisons

@SilvaFoxMC 5 лет назад

@@yarrowcentral I walked into this knowing he is big about teenage engineering. No mystery there. Also a NI fan as well. This is why I know when he reviews outside of those entities, I'm getting the raw deal. Copped my MPC LIVE on the merit of this understanding.😉

@philippemonnier2617 5 лет назад

Was looking forward to this video, thank you for your insight! If given the choice, I think most of us would pick the OP1

@steveturner1815 5 лет назад

I had one on pre order and was one of the first in Australia who had the opportunity to buy one. When I went to pick it up I found the device not very well made as in it kind of is irregular in pressure required to sound a note and also the power dial switch is an accident waiting to happen. As much as I wanted to take it home I instead got a refund and bought some other gear. Oh and I have been watching your vids for a while mate, you do great and you are not afraid to actually show AN OPINION which is a breath of fresh air.

@GregAdamsEternal 5 лет назад

Thanks for the impressions. You haven't put me off ordering one :D It's a little indulgent price-wise but I'm a relative beginner and the all-in-one and portable nature of this device are perfect for me to play around with a variety of tools all in one unit. It should hold it's resale value as well should I find I have made a terrible mistake (no regrets!)

@peacefulpigeon7254 5 лет назад

I was very unsure about the opz but I definitely don’t have any regrets I am also a relative beginner and this little unit is amazing I bought it to learn how to make longer tracks and the ability to chain patterns, mute groups, play live, sequence beats and make really accurate choices with punch in effects is perfect. It has a lot of features and I am still learning. It also works really well as a midi controller for iPad synths too and overall i feel it is helping me develop as a musician too. Also I am travelling a lot so the portability is great. Hope you have fun!

@TimH123 5 лет назад

Had mine a few weeks now. It’s tempting to dismiss it as limited and toy-like. Sometimes when I don’t use it for a few days I wonder if it’s any good. In isolation the factory sounds are a bit lame. But every time I turn it on (and that’s every few days) and anywhere I turn it on (which is varied, because I take it everywhere in my coat pocket), something unique, musical and exciting happens. It really is a quite wonderful way of staying in touch with your creativity.

@Khordmaster 4 года назад

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

@Yakachi 5 лет назад

Great Video as usual. I've been on the fence about the OP-Z as I have an OP-1 but I like the idea of the ultra portability of the OP-Z. Hearing your opinion on it may just have saved me $650 though :-) Love your work.

Always in point Accurate, cool device and price is one point, making you think 650 more times to get it :) it also on preorder everywhere for me, so keep thinking. Only thing I did not get from anyone reviewing it. Is it easy to get sound in and recording out? I saw clumsy analog audio recording off the device? Can’t you just grab you track as audio file(s) thru USB?

@MattGreerMusic 5 лет назад

People only say it's not worth the price because of the size. If it were the size of an Elektron box, no one would bat an eye. It's a synth, sample arranger, microphone, sequencer, DMX controller, Unity sequencer, etc. That's a lot of functionality packed into something that fits into your pocket. Yeah, it's spendy but it's worth the cost.

@AccurateBeats 5 лет назад

Hey Matt! You won the giveway!! email me at: accuratemcc@gmail.com to claim the win! CONGRATULATIONS!

@2mbst1 5 лет назад

I think the OPZ is more targeted at "sequencer" people - and the OP1 being more for keyboard people. Also the ability to use the OPZ as the midi-brain of your setup is really awesome. Write a song on the go, hook up multiple synths in the studio. Also I think it's more suited for performance than the OP1. I will definitaly get one. It's just a matter of "when" probably buy a used one next year or so. I think the price tag is fine, but I think 500$ would've been a much better price. 350$ would've been too much of a bargain.

@adroc9101 4 года назад

I completely agree with your opinion on the Z next to the One. The OP-1 is an amazing device and I agree with everyone that it shouldn’t be $1,300 but it is, and people (like me) are paying that much for it. But the OP-1 is without any equal; it inspires one to be creative and that is why people are spending their $$ for it. A synth, 4 track recorder, sequencer, radio, sampler, etc, etc, that is portable and beautiful is everything!

great review. It's nice to see that bluetooth option for optional screen and the device sure seems nice but Teenage Engineering is obsessed with small. Why would you need anything to be even more portable than the OP-1? Like so many of these instruments I wonder what would happen if they existed with attached keyboards like an Arturia Keystep. Or even full-size keyboard versions.
