its been frequently updated since 2019 …
have look at the firmware page to see from where you had it.

Also you might have missed the new synth plugs and effects plugs (the reverb sounds suprisingly lush imo)

From memory, I did still have it when the new synth and FX engines landed. Thought they were ok but think I had made my mind up that I was selling and didn’t give them a fair go. Time for YouTube research….
still hoping TE will update the unit and let us multitrack out of the usb port…or at least some busses.

I’d love that but the usb out is stricken with nasty digital noise if you have too much LFO and fx and punch going on so is the OP-Z even capable of multitrack usb?
I’d be happy with a module with a few outs which are assignable (split drums, bass, synths would be so helpful)
Had this little machine for a while now but am having loads of fun with it in Jamuary style.
Already posted this on the Jamuary topic, but in this vid I’m going slightly mad with the punch-in effects making the track much longer than it should. I wish I had two of them! Such an inspiring device.

Spraying the buttons is most certainly a “kinda” “fix”. The problem will return and you’d have to spray it again. Eventually whatever residue the spray (depending on the one you choose) leaves will probably build up and be an issue of itself. The bend fix as well, sure you can try to fix that - but the humidity that causes it in the first place is going to cause it to warp again.
All of the solutions are not perfect or absolute, the build quality is not great & we all acknowledge that. I’m not sure what your point is, but the fact is most of us are stuck with a unit that is out of warranty and we’ll take whatever “fix” we can.
That is my point, this is a fix…
My sequential buttons do the same thing… They said they choose those buttons because you can clean them… Most are sealed but your can’t ever clean them if they do go out.
sequential buttons on which sequential?
I have a prophet 6, but I think they are all the same… They quit working and your gotta slam them a hundred times then they work perfect… Sounds crazy but that is what sequential recommends.
I made this short Op-z photomatic sequence for a song I made for a friend (includes Octatrack and Rytm among others).

By the way, if anybody’s looking for a case, check this out. It’s made for a Nintendo Switch but the op-z fits it perfectly. It’s significantly cheaper than the case from Analog Cases and protects it very well Atrix All in One Case for Nintendo Switch | GameStop

Does this make the op-z a mini octatrack? Mixer-wise

Well you can certainly mangle incoming audio with the tape track, seperate filter and effects send…
Quick non-RTFM question, if you please:
can you import midi data to the OPZ?
Tape track? When did they add that to the OPZ?
No, you can live record in notes from a midi source tho
