I watched probably 5 OP-Z reviews & first look videos over the course of a few weeks but never decided to buy. 10 minutes into his 1.5 hour long OP-Z overview video I found myself on my laptop hitting the buy button on the teenage.engineering web store for an OP-Z.
After 10 minutes I already have a better understanding of sampling on this than I did after an hour of trying to teach myself. Thanks cuckoo, you gold standard of tutorials you!
Nice addition to this. OP-Z seems so neat. I love my POs. Seems like a combination of many of them + some superpowers. The USB host thing is very cool. I can't wait to get it. Thanks for the spotlight.
Chris Dillon I agree. I don’t have an OP-Z. Ive watched numerous videos and at times it seems a little overwhelming. However, during Cuckoo’s sampling tutorial, the workflow in many aspect is quite similar to the PO-33.
On-board sampling is a huge update. I'm just as excited about being able to pass audio out via USB. 1.2.5 is a significant update. I'm really loving the OP-Z right now.
I watched your OP-Z tutorial for weeks before I got my OP-Z. Have been waiting for this tutorial so I can start getting some new sounds to my instrument. Thanks as always!
was waiting for this... in some way i don't consider it properly chronicled until cuckoo releases the tutorial for it. such an amazing little rectangle. lovely jam too, as always. 🖤
That's it... sampling on it has been the missing piece on the OP-Z for me. It is now the perfect jamming gear when stuck on a hotel in some odd business trip. Too bad TH-cam decided to now notify me of this video earlier, could have enjoyed this last week. I am ordering one. Thanks, again, for the tutorials.
Cuckoo, your OP-Z tutorials and other videos convinced me of the device's depth, potential and accessibility. I've ordered one as my first synth / sequencer / instrument. I'm sure I'll be rewatching them all another 50x! Thanks man.
Always amazed how clearly you speak and explain things with such little video editing. Fantastic communicator. I watch just to try to hone my own skills.
Great tune and instantly recognisable as Cuckoo. I installed the new firmware the other day and have had a little play but will spend more time offer the weekend. This opens up all sorts of possibilities and makes the OP-Z even more powerful.
You're an excellent teacher--my OP-Z is in the mail, and I'm considering wiping it clean as soon as it arrives, and working only with original samples. I'm assuming you can factory-reset it with the app. Anyways... thanks for this great tutorial. Hope you're still finding fun uses for yours.
18:22 Cuckoo: "I'm going to make something nice out of this" Me: Ha yeah right that's just a bunch of noise... 22:38 Cuckoo: "Yeah..." Me: BRB going to throw out all of my gear...
So excited for my opz to get here and dive in. Thank you so much for these incredible tutorials. Don’t know if I’ve ever commented here but you are an incredibly beautiful person. Much love to you my dude.
Not sure if someone's already mentioned this, but it seems to be the case that in a later update, the key to hold for adjusting input gain was changed from [shift] to [play], i.e. the same key you hold to select input source. Hope that helps.
I came here for a tutorial and got my mind blown with your lil jam. You rock, dude. Always tops notch content! In other news, I got my opz yesterday due to another one of your videos. haha.
Darn It Cuckoo, how young are you? I'm 61 and forget how young I am sometimes but we kind of like distant familia since COVID brought this music back into my VIDA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND not screaming your precious lectures. One of these days I'd luv to meet n hang with ya Buddy?
I've been watching old videos of the OP-z and I didn't realise that it didn't sample OOB.... I hope that TE add such amazing firmware boosts on the new KOII.
you are such an inspiration the way you enjoy educating by exploring. much respect for your developed skills. Kind healthy musical regards from out of Finland. Bastiaan Anthonie Baaij
The only thing that I wish we could do in sample mode is a one press recording instead of having to hold down the record button. I was trying to sample me playing the guitar but it’s impossible unless you have 3 hands or another person holding the record button down.
Just remember you *need* headphones for onboard mic sampling or you’ll get some really horrible feedback. Foolishly took me longer than I’d like to realise that’s what it was.
As always a wonderful tutorial on a much anticipated feature on a great synth. 🙏👍 (A little aside, can't you mount the mirror half way between the Opz and the camera? that should put your face on the same focal plane as the Opz...and therefore be in focus? Just a thought) EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it. It's more complicated since youre probably not sitting right above the camera. But off to the side and then it become much more difficult to calculus the lengths with angles and such😅
Ah man, proper sampling capabilities really is a game changer and nudges me yet further towards finally buying an OP-Z. I'm still really enjoying my PO-32 and PO-33 - do you think an OP-Z renders them obsolete? If so, I think that's both a good and a bad thing...
@@truecuckoo 😲 how did you know it happened between OP-Z and iPad on Maui?!?!? OP-Z was exceptional companion for two weeks proactively doing nothing 😊 Big kudos to TE made us an audio interface (even not using module slot, so easy to grab a sound! (and record into iOS DAW too!)). Great tutorial and cool freestyling, Cuckoo! and thanks for inspiring to get OP-Z from your first vids 👍 ..... Long live OP-2 (Z is "two", right? means future/next, why people don't get it 😍 )
I really hope no one watches this video until I get paid on Wednesday....love you cuckoo but you gotta lemme me know when this stuff happens before anyone else :)
Job de Leeuw I have them both, but after getting the OP-Z those are in fact the two synths I’m going to sell myself as I don’t need them with this little machine in their place
this is exactly the functionality I've been looking for. I love making improvised rhythm kits and I've been desperate for a portable sampler that can map slices to a keypad instantly. This is awesome.
Yes it should work. I think there’s even a shortcut implemented to turn the mic source on, even without a physical mic button (which is usually the way to turn on the external mic).
Omg the part at 22:29 is so good. You make me want and OP-Z so bad but their lack of support for android devices really holds me back from making the purchase....
Can I use the jack input to sample other synths? I am thinking to connect the Volca FM output into the OP-Z input using a 3.5mm jack and record pads into the OP-Z sampler. Would that possible?
Yeah I think you’ll need an adapter of sorts. The headphones jack I believe is one of those three channel jacks, the stuff you’d see on a headset with a microphone. Stereo out, mono in. So you’d need a sort of adapter for getting a mono jack input. I haven’t tried this myself, but I believe there are solutions for it. Perhaps iRig would be a solution? I think it’s in the online documentation.
that is a very nice sampling tutorial. How about avideo where you take a 8bar loop and flesh it out into a whole song with mutegroups maybe and/or different patterns?
hi, is possible merge samples? Like copy and paste sample/slice in another one and merge them? to have more samples merged together on one key? Thank you.
When deleting a sample it would have been cool if all the lights were on and then turn off right to left. Like it’s unloading the sample.
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Do i have to sample all sounds at once? can i sample one sample on slot1 then find another sound and sample on slot2 then wait until my dog farts to sample slot3? For now i understand i have to make all noises during ONE recording?
Great tutorial, looking forward to picking up an OP-Z in the very near future! I'm guessing that the USB-C audio interface business doesn't work on Android phones?
It’s a class compliant audio interface. No drivers needed. As long as the device supports that, it should at least in theory work. I don’t know if modern Android devices generally supports class compliant audio interfaces?
Thanks! 🙏🏼 No the piano is also on a kit track. One sample per key, kinda short samples. For more percussive kind of snappy piano sounds, it's really nice to do it that way. For long sustained sounds, it'd be better with a synth track probably.

Cuckoo 1. is probably responsible for 80% of TE's sales. 2. should consider doing audio books.
Haha thanks mate!

Yeah, it's great! You're welcome man!
Nothing is more calming than a Cuckoo tutorial, Cuckoo's voice never fail to put me in a zen mood
sebastien jurkowski Absolutely! It‘s like your daily meditation routine 😁❤️
It is like painting with Bob Ross, but much more interesting. ;-)
3 yrs later and yr videos are as helpful as ever, THNAKS!
After 10 minutes I already have a better understanding of sampling on this than I did after an hour of trying to teach myself. Thanks cuckoo, you gold standard of tutorials you!
That jam at the end alone should have gotten you at least 10k more likes on this video. Geni.
❤️❤️❤️
WOW! You deserve the Nobel peace prize! Thank you for going over all of this!
I watched this even though I don't have an OP-Z; I love your instructional videos.
J Corbett LOL, me too. Cuckoo could do a blender tutorial and I would watch it!!
@@jasonraasch405 Now I want to see his blender tutorial.
Wouldn't even know what to do with my op-z if it weren't for your awsome tutorials! Thanks!

I actually haven't dug into this new feature because I was waiting for him to teach me the specifics! hah
You crush these cuckoo. Always amazed that you do everything without the iPad app as well, super great. Thanks!
I have to say, that song you make at the end is stunningly impressive for how quickly you scrambled together the components. Very very impressed
Shit, Cuckoo, can you imagine our
life without you? You are my personal Jesus. Please, don't stop.

The track at point 16 has such a cool Four Tet vibe with some unmistakable Cuckooisms. Thanks for the informative tutorial.
I've been on the fence about buying this, but you sir deserve a commission!
You the man . Love “your” sound, everything you do sounds like you. That’s true inspiration
Great tune and instantly recognisable as Cuckoo. I installed the new firmware the other day and have had a little play but will spend more time offer the weekend. This opens up all sorts of possibilities and makes the OP-Z even more powerful.
Great video! Thank you for the idea of sampling multiple preset snippets in the same scale into the drum sampler and then lay them down!

I was on the fence about the op-z but the sampler is indeed a game changer. Thanks for the vid!

AWESOME . Now i think i might get after this sampling update. Thanks for the video !
The only thing that I wish we could do in sample mode is a one press recording instead of having to hold down the record button. I was trying to sample me playing the guitar but it’s impossible unless you have 3 hands or another person holding the record button down.
You could record your guitar and play it back. Alternatively, use a clothes peg to hold down the record button for you (I do this with my PO33)
a threshold setting would be dope!
raindro zest yes!
Rhys Thomas good call. I’ll try that. 👍
Just remember you *need* headphones for onboard mic sampling or you’ll get some really horrible feedback. Foolishly took me longer than I’d like to realise that’s what it was.
Yeah I forgot to mention this. Good point.
Green means green!! Cuckoo your the boss, sometimes it gets so hard to explain this stuff but you always deliver!

hey would be nice if you would explain how to turn a op-z project into an ableton one if you haven done that
Nice. The sequence you built puts me in mind of classic Suzanne Ciani. Hope you don't mind me sayin'.

bah. i just got an op1 and barely cracked the surface. and youre making me wish i had this now. closing my computer now
With the TRRS mic support, does that mean that we could use breakout cables to plug in a proper audio in jack?
Yes it should work. I think there’s even a shortcut implemented to turn the mic source on, even without a physical mic button (which is usually the way to turn on the external mic).
@@truecuckoo Incredible! Thanks Cuckoo!
curious if anybody has tested this
Check the Facebook group, there’s been extensive testing, some breakout cables work and some don’t
I love the mirror camera setup. It's super efficient and very Alton Brown

So basically, synth engine is based on the samples? How can I replace synth engines?
Omg the part at 22:29 is so good. You make me want and OP-Z so bad but their lack of support for android devices really holds me back from making the purchase....
