Finally!! I thought they had stopped making modules for the opz. The module idea is such a cook idea but then they only went and made 2.... i need this!!!!
Thank you for providing a tutorial that includes clips from the app. I've found so many opz tutorials that only use the equipment. It's helpful to have a visual of what's going on inside the machine.
Nice demo of the line module! I was waiting for a video from you and this was great. I was having a hard time deciding between the PO-33 and PO-35 when I ordered the line module and ended up going with the 35. It’s pretty fun so far, but still learning it and how to integrate it with the OP-Z.
Thanks for a great demo! For the time being I'll stick with my Oplab module, the CV and gate outputs are very handy with my vintage analog gear. The audio in is a big deal, but for me not a $150 big deal.
I feel the same. I’m happy with Oplab and at least have the TRRS splitter from digdugdiy for audio in, which is less than a third of the price and works great. I’ll buy a Line Module used when the prices come down.
@@edgeof60 The standard input on the op-z is a mono "mic" line. Per digdugdiy: "Separates MIC MONO INPUT (Pink) and STEREO OUTPUT (Green) signals to individual output jacks". I haven't tested yet, but the readily available and more robust irig 2 should suffice, minus the volume control of the digdugdiy (passive volume at that, whereby it's volume encoder will attenuate volume but not boost it). If you get an irig pro you can actually boost signal, albeit at a higher price than the irig 2 or digdugdiy. Personlly, I'd just go with the irig 2.
Very solid video- thanks! :-) *** I wish you had explained the OP-Z / OP-1 syncing set up though! Are you using a midi hub to pull that off? What cables are you using? What are internal settings for OP-1 / OP-Z?
I cut the part of explaining the cable from the video, I guess I shouldn’t have. In this case I was simply using a usb-c to usb-mini cable. This allows me to send MIDI from the OP-Z to the OP-1. All drum channels are set to the same channel and sending to the OP-1’s drum synth. I gave each different drum element its own track, in order to mute them and give them different step components separately. Let me know if this helps!
pssst you can have a low budget version of the line in module by bying a cable that combines line in and microphone in into one cable the opz has support for a headphone mic (so you can use the adapter to get line in (you can also use global fx to play with your sound) sorry for the bad description but if anyone has questions u can ask me :)
Yup, I did that before too!Great if you only need the input part. But there is more to the line module. 2nd audio output, as well as PO-sync can be useful.
Does line out work for sending audio into iphone while recording a video? I tried multiple camera adapters and none of them worked.. The op-1 field having the ability to just connect a usb to lighting cable is sick. Wish it was that easy with op-z and ko 2
Not sure if I'm missing something but does the PO-sync, besides it adding the OP-Z reverb, delay etc it doesnt add step components or performance effects? and vice versa none of the PO's FX can be used on the OP-Z tracks? So syncing the PO really is more for matching tempos and added basic FX from OP-Z? Either way thanks for the demo.. great videos as always... Im somewhat new to the OPz but have had POs for a minute...
@@SONWU that too... I still love the opZ... i actually picked it up because i like the POs so much... i feel the OP-Z is pretty much an advanced version of a Pocket Operator... So far my favourite combo is using the OP-Z with AUM...
I recently bought a opz and a op1and I want to sync them and so far no luck... tried so many things and it's just not working for me.. are you using some special usb cable? Thanks for the video!!!!
I think I did…but finding it, that may be difficult. But the official TE video had that in it for sure! Just keep in mind that the module track becomes the audio return track. So make sure the volume is up on that track and that the filter is open as well.
Yes, you sure can. Just like I used the monologue as an effects unit. You can even decide how much signal of each channel you are sending to that FX unit.
ah: to make any a step output a trig pulse: select any audio track press and hold shift select step(s) 1-16 press jump press value key 0 release shift press play and verify module led activity
When combining the OP-Z with the OP-1, is it possible to have the start/stop commands from the OP-Z trigger the OP-1's tape as well? Wondering if it's possible to basically sequence the OP-1 from the OP-Z, but still be able to record everything in sync with the OP-1's tempo/grid to tape.
Hi! Yes, the two devices cane be easily run in sync to each other. Start/Stop commands are transmitted and received between them. You can even do that with a USB-C to USB mini cable.

Just pulled the metaphorical trigger on the 35 myself...Looking forward to making some autotune again :)

@@jaguarvssnake Thanks for the tip! Does this thing work as a true line in? Does it let you process audio with the OP-Z effects and filters?
@@edgeof60 absolutely, it does all of that very well!
Sure, if you have CV gear than the OPlab is right for you....for most other cases the line module is wonderful!

Thanks for the info. I really wanted that line level input for sampling

HAHA....MUST....HAVE....MODUUUUULE
I just bought this module; I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
More videos on it soon ;) Enjoy your new module!

Really useful, thank you.

great videos as always... Im somewhat new to the OPz but have had POs for a minute...
You can also sample from line-in with with...and of course midi in/out via trs
@@SONWU that too... I still love the opZ... i actually picked it up because i like the POs so much... i feel the OP-Z is pretty much an advanced version of a Pocket Operator... So far my favourite combo is using the OP-Z with AUM...

I am indeed using a USB-C to mini USB cable! It worked like a charm :) Thanks for watching!
what did you stick on the back of your op z? Does it stop the bending?
It's just some foam type to make it slide around less for filming
The line module is just great, it has opened so many different creative doors, I can not be happier with this module 😊
Yup, I agree...it's very nice!
hello, thanks for video. what little black stripes do you have on the bottom of the op-z? Looks useful.
Velcro, so my OP-Z doesn’t wiggle
Did you ever do a video with pedals in an fx loop through this module?
I think I did…but finding it, that may be difficult. But the official TE video had that in it for sure!
Just keep in mind that the module track becomes the audio return track. So make sure the volume is up on that track and that the filter is open as well.
way too much overlap with the oplab. just makes me that much more annoyed that they didn't make a single unit with with midi, cv and audio in.
Understandable..I wish it just had the features of the line module built in, too.
Can you use the module to send a track through a guitar effect pedal?
Yes, you sure can. Just like I used the monologue as an effects unit.
You can even decide how much signal of each channel you are sending to that FX unit.
@@SONWU awesome thank you!!
my op-z arrives today, been watching your tutorials, super helpful!!
@@jasonsullivan4957 My pleasure!
@@jasonsullivan4957 Hope you enjoy it :)
is there any tutorial on setting the triggers?
I can't seem to find it.
ah: to make any a step output a trig pulse:
select any audio track
press and hold shift
select step(s) 1-16
press jump
press value key 0
release shift
press play and verify

Sorry for the late answer…but I see you already found it :) 👍
on the official site its sold without the ground noise isolator now :(
hmmm…strange

@@SONWU That is awesome! Thank you for the response!! 🙂
@@brycepoole7697 My pleasure!
Can you sample through the line in without needing an irig like you do with the main in/out on the op-z?
Yes, that is possible!
how you connect Op-z. to Op-1?
USB-C to USB mini cable
Is it green or is it blue??? 🤷♂️
well...let's say it's teal.
Wow $150, that's really cheap. They should charge at least $499 for this module, because it looks so trendy and has nice packaging ! :)

Ahh...PO OP combo

They just made a new op1 say what 🤯
