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😅

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?

Question: I have a mic/headphone splitter cable plugged into the aux jack on the opz. I can hear the audio I want to sample before I sample it, when I sample it gets a bit louder indicating that it is sampling. But when I play the sample back... it was the mic on the opz not the internal recording I was hearing. So it basically sounds like the AC and the TV. Lol. So what the hell. Is there a way to turn the mic off. The opz is flat and there is no light on the side with the mic so does not seem to be on. Is it a glitch?
@truecuckoo5 жыл бұрын
The native way to select the mic as an in source is by pressing the mic button on the headset. But there’s a hidden shortcut for activating it in the scenario when there’s no mic button, I think it’s by pressing shift+screen (the square icon back side button), while in rec mode.
