Sequencer
Under the Playstation-esque casing is an advanced multi speed 16-step sequencer. There are endless possibilities thanks to 160 programmable patterns. The new step components features allows for per-cycle changes, note variation, micro-sequencing, re-triggering and more, resulting in 140 ways to alter one step. Delays, filters, tremolo and reverbs also provide loads of experimentation.
Sequences can be set to 1/16th of standard speed. Teenage Engineering also introduced a 'catch-up' that forces a track to exit at a certain point to stay in sync.
On top of all this is two accessible octaves, 51 mechanical keys and a pressure sensitive pitch bend. Four enclosed tapes discreetly record your sequences. These provide another layer of customisation for you to scrub, scratch, wind-up and cause havoc.
Bring your own screen
Use your phone or tablet with the handy compatible app. The OP-Z works completely on its own, but hooking it up to a phone or tablet screen via Bluetooth provides a complete view of your creations and customisation options.
Sync your music with photos to make quick and easy music videos based on your productions. You can also create custom graphics, patterns, colour palettes or stop motion videos when you upload artwork of photos to your camera roll or Dropbox.
3D Integration
This is the perfect tool for pro developers looking to create game soundtracks. The OP-Z has full compatibility with the Unity game engine. Connect and create a project within Unity, then simply store in Dropbox.
