what, you don’t like glueing all of your drum-hits together into a 12 second kit, so you have to edit the whole thing every time you want to change a single slice?

Haha you know who it is! And why it is 
But in all seriousness, i hope TE takes the high-end road at some point and delivers a Pro worthy groove box/sequencer to us.
I love my TE gear, but really want it to replace an MPC and Push 3 and the like.
An OP-Z with GBs of storage and OP-1Field class synths and Push3 quality sampling would be amazing.
Just do it TE. We know you can.

Same here. I’ve said it many times, but an OP-Z with updated synth engines, proper sample management (with single drum hits like KOII) & sample time, REsampling, possibly USB-multitracking.
Actually there isn’t too much they have to change. The concept and workflow was already great.
- as a bonus, more “machines” for the tape track for various remix options.

TE just needs to tell the founder that this needs to happen in order to completely disrupt the market, and steer it in a new direction, of giving the user something in a Groovebox they didn’t even know they needed.
TE, of any company, can and should do this.
Man, if the KO2 has 64GB of memory like the Ableton Move, it would be a completely different device.
And 64GB is nothing.

I’m sure they COULD do all of this.
But somehow, some obviously necessary, and simple features keep being omited by many companies. Re-sampling, reversing samples, directly recording samples. easy ways to exchange samples, multi-timbrality…the list goes on.
It can be frustrating to be a discerning gear junkie.

It seems that TE typically releases a device within about two months after submitting it to the FCC. OP-XY will likely be released by the end of the year as well.

ko2 has 64mb
It’s probably not going to be what everyone is hoping. They chart their own course and it’s a love-hate thing. If they actually release a rich and powerful device that doesn’t have some quirky limitation I will sell all my gear (except my m8).

They couldn’t do that, since given the fact that they also do 80s pricing, a groovebox like that would have to be be around 10.000 buckaroos…

Ah this would be the “something awesome” coming “soon” that the guys at the TE stand at Synthfest didn’t want to tell me about, but also sort of wanted to tell me about. End of the year would correspond with the smile I got when I said “I won’t write my Christmas list just yet then.”
I’m daring to be hopeful about this one.
Maybe it´s a new version with samples filled from the classic german real crimes show “Aktenzeichen XY ungelöst” ?

This is worryingly likely.

It’s the hardware version of their XY drawing sequencer.
So you can make beats with just two knobs. Now that’s a creative limitation!

This is the biggest flaw of the op-z. The whole sampling paradigm and workflow is utterly lame.
They made the most portable groovebox ever with the most rapid sequencing workflow, only to hobble the drum sampling by making you sit on a computer to painfully assemble hits. Just bonkers!

Yep. I did indicate that in the initial post and followed up that if it had 64GB it would be something different.
