before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. this will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices. if you need to connect/disconnect wires during use, always make sure to connect the cable to the OP-Z first. never connect the 3.5mm plugs going from the OP-Z‘s input or output to a mic input on a sound card with phantom power active. this could destroy the ports on the OP-Z. be sure to charge the unit using only 5v usb power, such as that from the usb ports of a computer, or by using a dedicated usb charger. make sure you always have the OP-Z placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. use your OP-Z where the ambient temperature is between 10° and 35° C (50° and 95° F) and the relative humidity is between 0 and 95%RH. never install or use the unit in any of the following locations: OP–Z is perfect to bring along when traveling. so much that we felt the need to create a range of travel-cases protecting your OP–Z. l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement. snap a series of photos and sequence them to a beat. compose a song and create a completely synchronised music video 'a-la-minute'. the photomatic feature included in the OP–Z app is just pure instant fun.

There are currently eight synth engines, plus the PCM sample player. The synths have a similar vibe to the OP-1, with some unusual, bright digital flavours and physical modelling algorithms and a couple of traditional synths. Each synth only has two unique parameters to adjust. Some synths have a wider tonal range than others, but all are generally useful as basses, leads or pads, depending on the pitch and envelope you use.Some additional expression can be added with the rubber pad on the front edge of the unit: it's a bi-directional, pressure–sensitive input that acts as a pitch–bend controller. It can also adjust the velocity of steps in the sequencer. Control changes can be recorded in real time, or sequenced per-step using the 'Swedish method' of holding a step while dialling in a parameter setting. ideal for when you head down to the park, take a road trip or go on tour. the softer pvc tarpaulin roll up protective case comes in asphalt gray

while in play mode press and hold shift and momentarily hold the piano keys to add different punch-in effects. usb-c host and device, wireless communication over ble, 4-pin 3.5 mm stereo headphone and line-out, accelerometer, user replaceable battery and built-in microphone. press and hold [tempo]. turn the [green] dial to adjust the bpm to your liking, between 40–200 bpm. connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

photomatic lets you add up to 10 sequences with 24 pictures each, all possible to edit with the colored dials. the built-in fx are delay, reverb, bit-crush and distortion. future firmware upgrades will expand the OP–Z with even more fx.

and signal yellow (pictured above). we're also happy to introduce a new line of fresh color-coded cables in various lengths and configurations. connect OP–Z wirelessly to a mobile device. thanks to the extremely energy efficient ble technology your OP–Z will run and sync to your screen for hours and hours, without you having to charge the unit. the project button lets you choose one of the 10 projects where you work on your songs. each projectOP–Z comes with 12 synthesis based sound engines. more sound engines will be released continuously and made available through the configurator in the OP–Z app.

standard usb to usb-c cable for midi, for data transfer between OP–Z and computer, and for charging the OP–Z internal battery. we hope it will inspire your creativity for many years, and become a trusted companion for both audio and visual expression. enjoy OP–Z, the dream machine. Innovative pattern sequencer with infinite pattern length and complex control options for each step cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux radiations ic cnr-102 établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. cet émetteur ne doit pas être situé ou fonctionner conjointement avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur. this equipment complies with ic rss-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.on the front of the OP–Z you find the pitch bend in the form of a soft, pressure-sensitive, thumb button. the pitch bend adds an analogue touch to any instrument – perfect for that solo break. Fortunately, TE have created a free control app (currently iOS-only, but forthcoming for Android too). This runs via Bluetooth, and gives full visualisation of the sequencer, sound engines and effects (using some great eye-catching graphics), and also acts as a screen for the visual sequencers. It’s really nicely designed, and helps to clarify and open up the OP-Z’s capabilities – to the extent that I’d be wary of recommending the OP-Z to anyone without the ability to run the companion app. use this to get started creating your first pattern, and as a reference guide for buttons, parameters and step components. if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Technically there’s nothing you can’t do with the hardware alone, and there’s something to be said for relying more on your ears than parameter data, but functions like making LFO assignments or rearranging Step Components would prove very tough without access to a screen. The OP-Z hardware itself features a rechargeable (and user-replaceable) battery, which is charged using the included USB-C to USB 3 connector.
