Iāve installed it, and itās exactly the same as they demoed yesterday. No other new surprises that I can find yet.
maybe thereās now a dedicated OP-1 mode which waits for the OP1 to be updated.
I want a way to get more synth enginesā¦ a synth engine online store accessible through the app would be awesome
1.2.38
read more here.
move midi settings to SCREEN + TEMPO
minor sampler mode ui changes read more here
fix corrupt sample pack folder name on iPad
send pitch bend on correct midi channel when remapped
allow sending cc from knobs on muted track
allow send level editing from fx track read more here
increase pan lfo range
backlight now on steps 1, 5, 9, 13
make audio mute work on all tracks
fix pop at start when playing instruments with full fx send
fix rare bug that could cause random parameter changes
fix rare bug the caused the unit to restart automatically
fix rare hang requiring restart of unit
cpu optimizations
So do I have to watch the replay of the stream to know how this works? Anything added to the manual?
so the midi settings are now where FX toggle for microphone used to be and where midi settings used to be are now toggles for different inputs.
but now i donāt understand how to toggle fx on and off
āuse shift to access different parametersā
im confused
ā¦(screen-tempo-shift-firstāknob)= does something new
ā¦ alternative to that combo itso also possible to:
hold (screen), while holding (screen), press (tempo) 3times. than you can release (screen) and press shift and (firstāknob).
āallow send lvl editing from fx track read more hereā
where is āhereā , no link
this is a nice touch though:
built-in microphone, when enabled, doesnāt give a feedback loop noise anymore ! but now it doesnāt show volume lvl when you speak into op-z.
i think this is too early and they are stull updating the manual
app interface shows now what module you have
thats niceš it also shows in what configuration switches are on the module. very good attention to detail
extra raw of controls added to track 14
mixer interface has now extra track to mix !
when connected via bluetooth and and using op-z app. when app crushes (or closes) on the background., op-z disconnects bluetooth as well
This one is niceā¦and wasnāt covered in yesterdays videoā¦
I think this is what the Ā« allow send lvl editing from fx track read more here Ā» broken link points to:
the CPU performance update is again the most intense.
the delay lines have such a depth it almost sounds like a new engine and the reverb is stunningly textured. the Synth engines and filters are more HI-FI then ever.
cor(j)ona('s) time @tngjonas
Anyone else finding that pressing the screen button and rotating the red encoder doesnāt work anymore? I have to press the screen button on the app in order to change to configurator, devices, motion etc.
Me too, lost that function
I wish there would be an A/B audio comparison. I can hardly believe the CPU improvements make that big of a difference, do they really?
itās my guess.
all software or digital synths can be a bit more hi-def or textured when having more resources to deal with.
Jonas often mentioned that the previous OS versions are really not that CPU hungry and that maybe lead to a more thin sounding OpZ in the past, imagine that if the reverb has more CPU it can be more precise and less dumped etc.
the Engines and or filters can Work with a higher resolution and theyāve more room to work with overall.
itās a big plus
Wow, the bug fix was fast! They improved with that update the z a lot. The input-/module track page is awesome. I personally wish abquick and easy way to copy a channel to another one. Pretty standard but still missing on the z. For sonic diversity I would love to see changeable filters and instruments. My compositions became a bit sonicly repetitive, would love to bring flavors!
I recorded before and after and canāt tell any difference, but it might be the wrong type of track to be honest, maybe something more ambient might reveal some gains:
Can anyone clarify how the new I/O track changes the tape track live input? Before the 1.2.39 update in tape track I could press screen+1 and have the mic continually feed in to the track with effects on and play with the buffer. It doesnāt seem to work for me since I upgraded, but maybe Iām doing something wrong? Thanks.
Works for me. Now you have to press Shift+1, 2, or 3 to select the input.
Hmmm that doesnāt work for me since updating.
Shift only lets me target which tracks are sent to the tape track, number buttons do nothingā¦
Shift+number in the component track is where you choose inputs now.
