How likely do you think that we are going to get an OP-Z Field this year or in the near future?
Really hope this will be a thing and will have the same build quality as the OP-1 Field and the TX-6.
Since the build quality (bending) was the main reason I didn’t pull the trigger on a OP-Z…
The way TE people said “the second entry in the Field product series” does suggest there is more to come. The question is: what is missing? An update to OP-1 to match TX-6 makes sense. If one would do that to OP-Z, you’d get 32bit processing, cleaner synths and effects and probably a big price hike. Oh and the new module would not work anymore (or not make sense), since that is (probably?) not 32 bit. So that last thing, to me, points to: no OP-Z field.
It would be cool if they could take it a different direction but keep the step components idea. Definitely add a screen, better sample management with longer sampling times. 4 sequencer pages. Something that could be more powerful than the octatrack. OP-Z has one of the best sequencer workflows I’ve ever used (1st place is Cirklon though). I just want a bit more detail in step sequencing and more interesting ways to manipulate samples.
