Yes, a never ending spiral of flags!
Imagine if there was a undo button hahahaha

do they know something or are they making a bold guess?
I’d imagine it’s just a summary of this thread.

Two people are sitting this topic out now for time wasting the moderators. If the topic keeps getting silly Flags this topic will be put on a timeout too.
It’s not a joke, there’s been a lot of cynicism about flagging and people doing so, but if it’s done in good faith it’s the right approach. People can’t start policing threads themselves.

I wouldn’t mind an OP-Z successor. But I also wouldn’t mind a dedicated tape workflow device based on OP-1, with 8 stereo tracks, line in/out, midi in/out, acting as audio midi host, and also 48khz/32 bit. Longer tracks and waveform view would be cheries on the top.

As I have an OP-1F I can only hope its an add on for that (clip-on/plug in) that adds a OP-Z style sequencer to the OP-1. I cant image I would own an OP-1F and an OP-ZF, its just too much to carry. and too much duplication. I suspect the OP-1F could run the OP-Z midi sequencer in parallel…maybe this is jut the hardware dongle to achieve that!
If TE dare to drop a true OP-2 merely two years after the release of the op-1f, I’d be pretty pissed as an op-1f owner. So I’m rather hoping for a op-z2.

Well…OP-1F was always just a slightly updated OP-1, I took that risk when I bought it…if an XY was an OP1 and OPZ merged into the OP1 I always wanted it to be (with an undo button 
I would probably sell my OP-1F and take the hit (worth it for the 2 years fun to me)

That’s exactly what many of us would logically expect. Then again, TE are making it difficult to hold our hopes high with very strange teasers, honestly.

I’m not sure how this would work, as the approach in making music on the op-1 and op-z is quite different. I can’t really imagine how merging the tape-based workflow and the sequencing-based workflow would work in practice. Maybe cue-points on the tape, that could be p-locked on the sequencer? Might be a bit overcomplicated, but if anyone could pull things like that off in an intuitive manner, I’d say it would be TE.
This made me laugh out loud. How heavy are those metal cases?!

Everyone has it wrong. This is clearly a Commodore 64 style joystick used to control the Sketch sequencer in the OP—1 Field. All the USB ports are to allow others to help draw with you.

Why? You could have both! 
Actually, the Sonicware Smpltrek or the Roland Verselab combine sequencing with audio tracks
But they are not quite as slick and sexy as whatever TE could come up with, if they wanted to
think about little function symbols and a lot of maths behind them and a way to assign em to any function that’s basically available if one operates the OP1.
like a tracker style interface where you‘ve some lanes for those automations, maybe a button shortcut and a click of the encoder to apply the function.
imagine some ghost fingers scrolling your preset list while simultaneously controlling the tempo with a ramp up/down function or lfo 
a bird with the word told me a new NerdSeq firmware will drop around „blackfriday“

This would kind of be what the TP-7 is. They just have to get the integration going- a way to chain all these devices together, when each only has a single USB port, and power them, and get them to pass audio, pass clock, etc.

I really don’t feel there is a whole lot of duplication between these 2 devices. If they both weren’t branded “TE” I wouldn’t even think they were related.

They are not heavy (I have a Live2, that’s heavy!) but I have no interest in talking 2 devices and interconnecting cables with me - I just want to pick it up and use it…
