OP-Z Quick Tips: Fast Sampling with the Built-In Mic (2020)

OP-Z Quick Tip: How to sample with the built-in microphone.
Did you know the OP-Z has an onboard microphone? Did you know that as long as you have firmware 1.2.5 or later (download for free at Teenage Engineering's website) you can sample directly into the mic?
Join me for this brief walkthrough of how to quickly sample into the OP-Z, and start shaping a track immediately!

Your helping me get so much more miles out of my OP-Z and PO’s. Your content is easy to follow. Could you do a follow up on how to load Templates to the novation controller xl. I’m not very good with it comes to that type of stuff.

[@FreeBeat]

I can definitely do that! Glad you've been enjoying the videos :)

Cheezy perhaps but very cool non the less! Thinking about getting The Rick and Morty Speak.....in part because of your demos

[@FreeBeat]

You definitely should! The speak is super underrated!

Just got my OP-Z, total noob when it comes to making music…I can only wish to be as good as this! 😁 Soooooo fast!!! Amazing!!!

I've got a lot more OP-Z content here on the channel, and I highly recommend watching Cuckoo's OP-Z tutorial. You'll be flying around the interface in no time!

@@FreeBeat Thanks mate! I’ve watched a few of your videos now, all very helpful and easy to understand. No doubt I’ll be re-watching a lot of videos over the next few weeks! 😊

Hey bro really enjoyed your video!! I have a question, you mentioned you keep track 7 open for sampling. So after you made this track here for example, don't you have to keep that sample in that slot to keep it playing on this particular track? I am trying to understand sample management better. I don't like housing up too many slots with samples because then it means you can't have as many synth engines or drum kits stored. Hope my question makes sense! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@FreeBeat]

You are correct! I try to keep slot 7 open for random jams, little samples like this one. I'll play on the track for a while, then, I usually delete the sample to keep it open again. Every once in a while I'll sample something that I really enjoy and want to save, and then I'll figure out where I want to actually store it. Hopefully that answers the question haha. Thanks for watching, and for the sub!

Cool! Is there a way to sample the live instrument one plays via microphone? I could only manage to hold the record button with one hand and play the guitar with another :) Is there a way to record it live?

[@GamedevFred]
