I had an OP-Z and sold it, and I’m glad I did. My reasoning hasn’t changed. But I’ve been making less music since I sold it because I almost always had it with me. I’d start songs on the OP-Z and finish them in Ableton. I don’t start songs in Ableton nearly as often.
I miss that. I was looking at the Deluge and the OP-1 and finally decided to get the OP-1. It’s more portable, but I also like that it’s so self-contained and not built around a step sequencer. And I figure if I hate it, it shouldn’t be hard to sell for enough to pick up a Deluge.
