Teenage Engineering OP-Z - Is it any good?

I just got the OP-Z from teenage Engineering!
This is my first look at it.
This is a really cool, portable and competent little synth with a nice and straight forward sequencer inside of it.
It is about 650 USD though... Is it worth it?

Im also announcing the winner of the first giveway and putting out a new one!!!

Sorry to hear about brain tumor and surgery, just stay positive it will all work out in the end. Also a thing to keep in mind, yes you might lose hearing but you will still be alive and able to still make music. Don’t let nothing stop your creativity and passion.

I just got the op z and it’s super dope. For someone like me a casual beat maker who tends to stick to the same formula it’s really inspiring. I’ve been making beats I never would have thought I’d without the OP-Z. It almost feels like cheating because literally just about everything sounds good on this thing. So dope.

[DylanPieper]

Your videos have inspired me (and taught me) how to go about making beats. Thank you for your work. Much love, Dylan.

[SilvaFoxMC]

At the end of the day, this is why I've watched your channel. Really objective and honest reviews backed by real skill and know how. I've invested in gear on the strength of your criticism/approval.

[JoeCarterDesigns]

Great video, Accurate! love your honesty and though the OP-Z sounds pretty cool, it’s also nice to hear someone not totally gushing over it!

[CharlieYsasi]

Man, you deserve lots and lots of wins! Amazing channel, thanks for your work!

[Mani-uccc]

Really good review! Very nice to see that you're honest, but not to harsh. Great job!

[timhatch]

You didn't get very far with it in the review. The effects track, the muting groups, the sample channel. It's way more than just a sequencer and FAR more than a pocket operator.

[AveMcree]

I'm trying so hard not to buy it but I damn near got everything from these guys lol

[chriss]

Your the man I have been following you for about a year-and-a-half and you're very knowledgeable on what you do

[oODynasty]

Great Review, Love this channel! I watch every video you launch!

[jesseriedel]

Love your videos man, makes me want to keep learning about my mk3 and op-1 every time I watch your videos, keep up the good work!

[AxmGeet]

Hey Accurate, I appreciate the honest take on the OP-Z. I ordered it because I love my OP-1, but I gotta admit I struggled a bit with the price tag as well. I think there's a little special mystique about TE that gets people a little dazed about their gear. That includes me. Again, thanks for helping me with my Machine workflow as well- your sample workflow has really helped me adopt my routine. :)

[philippemonnier]

Was looking forward to this video, thank you for your insight! If given the choice, I think most of us would pick the OP1

[KiyoshiKatu]

Really great review! Love the breakdown of the basic features, followed by your honest opinion. Really helps to show what I need to be looking at on this, and other devices!

[loopytunes]

love your videos! bought a maschine mk3 after watching this channel and its been great

[AndyTanguay]

Great review as usual.

I love the thing. Scored one in late October. I love the idea that it's usable as it is, but you could add a big iPad screen, talk to external synths, eventually regular MIDI, probably sampling, DMX light shows, video, etc. It's a platform with room to expand. It's nuts.

I hear you...the synths mostly sound like crap and they're less open to tweak than the OP1. Rumors have it that there may be downloadable synth packs in the future.

Stay well!

[Person]

Nice little review. Love your editing, cut to to the good stuff! I’ll be watching more in future.

[MarinosAnastasakis]

Great and honest review as always! I really appreciate the time and effort you’ve put for the benefit of the beat making community, I have learned so much from your videos! Cheers man

[WatchOutNowRun]

I bought a MK3 because of you and now I'm trying to move up in the sampling / beat meaking game. Thanks very much for the inspiration and good luck with yours.
