The schematic shows the headset symbole.
The good news is, looks like they are using the rumble style, ‘lego axle’ mechanism, not the oplab one. Can see the round pillar between the pins.

Looks somewhat complete, not a prototype.
Hopefully there will be an announcement soon.

I’m really hopeful that a headphone/IO module would come with some software changes to make line-in sampling a little bit quicker – I can imagine one of the biggest use cases would be to use the main out for my headphones/monitor and then use the module output and input for resampling the output.

Based on this glimpse of it, in the op-z app
Guessing this is the “Line Module” (ZM-3)
Is the “M” for monitor or headphones ?

So we expect this to be a stereo line in/out module, bringing the OP-Z to four analog outputs and potentially even five inputs (mic/line/USB)?
Count me in.

I think it means mono/stereo. I think it is just line in, no line out on the module itself.
If the schematics really are those of the “line-module”, it might actualle have a headphonejack (HPOUR/HPOUTL). Perhaps the “M” is for “Mix” or “Master(-Out)” and the “S” is for “Sample” or “Stereo(-In)”. I’ve noticed that all jacks seem to have those tiny LEDs. Not sure why the audio-inputs/-outputs would need those, so perhaps there’s even more to those jacks?
I wonder if the whole “left section” is just the same as oplab’s MIDI-section? Would make sense for many purposes. But it would also mean that we get a module with half of the functionallity already given by the oplab. Hm.
In regard to that: oplab-module is now 127€ instead of 159€. Perhaps because it might be obsolete to non-CV-users soon and shares functionalities with the line module?

LEDs could be peak indicators so you know if you’re clipping the input or output?
Would be there some difference between this and irig2?
The iRig 2 only has a mono-input while this module might have (!) a stereo input (or two mono inputs via split-cable?). It will probably also give you an extra MIDI-in/out.
The module doesn’t block the OP-Zs audio jack which you might then use for further inputs/monitoring.
BUT: You can use the iRig 2 while using the wonderful rumble module

In the latest instamovie of Jonas Åberg he’s hiding the ports on his OP-Z, but at the end of the movie, you can see a tiny glimmer of green at the most right port! 
I wish they would hurry up…

It is likes pulling teeth with these people…
Just got an email about double module bundle (oplab + rumble) so I guess it will be a little while before the green module is out.
Probably making room in stock!
At this stage you have to be a proper fanboi to buy this badly made crap.
Well yes…
But we all knew that a long time ago right?

I don’t see the point of having a line-in module considering the limited amount of memory of the op-z and the limitation on how you can actually switch your sampled instrument without having to connect to an iPad or IPhone… But maybe that’s just me. But at this point I just connect it to an iPad, use the usb audio interface and sample whatever I need.
Of course you can use the input for effects but the OP-Z does not have like crazy effects either.
