It took me two afternoon to have all my files and the OPZ doesn’t keep them after import. Can you tell me what is wrong about these files ? length ? format ?
deserted distantpad dreamvhs four mist montreal poly second sic unstable
are for the lead file (synth sounds)
the others is for drum, so I only will use kick snare and hihat

Thanks for your quick answer
I already read your guide because I build my files collection based on it.
That’s why I don’t understand what is wrong with them
Oh, alright sorry. Haven’t noticed that these are drum samples. Well I can confirm that they don’t work and I don’t see anything wrong with the format. The samples are longer than 4 seconds though and I believe there is a limit for 4 second slices with the drum sampler format. I tested with deserted.aif, reduced the length and put it through OP-1 Drum Utility again and it works.
When using the longer sample, it doesn’t complain though, so I’m not 100% sure that this is correct.
The files named “deserted distantpad dreamvhs four mist montreal poly second sic unstable”
are my synths file
I tried to upload them in the lead files and the OPZ doesn’t keep them
I tried in the chord files and same result
I tried these fils through your conversion website
http://gerotakke.de/op-z-sample/
and the OPZ doesn’t keep the “instrument” files
I will try to reduce the drum files to 4 seconds
I
I have an op-1 maybe it will be easier to use it ?
Importing the files in the op-1, let it make the conversion and then export from the op1 and import those files into the opz ?
Wait a second. I’ve tried deserted and distantpad and they both have the drum markers, not the synth markers. Running them through my tool adds the synth markers but then they have both and I don’t know how the OP-Z treats it when both types are present. Also for them to be used as synth samples, you have to make sure they are exactly 6 seconds long.
Can’t compare to the the OP-1, I’ve never used one, sorry.
I tried with the OP1, my files are rejected in the SYNTH section but accepted in the drum section.
I just tested one file from my synth (maybe deserted or distant pad)
I’m so frustrated
There are drum markers inside these files. Open them in something like Audacity, save to a different file (while at it, make them 6 seconds) and those markers will be gone. Then run them through my tool.
It’s ok for the synth sample.
I passed them trough audacity to have 6 seconds
then through itunes to be sure to have 16bits, 44,1 etc…
it’s good.
Now I have to do my drums samples… all are less than 4 seconds but are rejected by the OP-Z.
I don’t understand how to use the Drum utility with the OPZ because the drum utility only gave one big file with all the sounds, no ?
The OP-Z uses the same format as the OP-1 for drum kits, so yes, one big file. Jeremy explains how to do that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYN2AlTEyOY
