I bought an OP-Z on eBay last week. I love it. But there’s an issue that keeps happening, and I’m wondering if it’s an issue with the machine or I’m somehow causing this to happen:
Every so often, it seems like it gets stuck. The green led near the power button gets bright and is solid. The track will play and I can play notes but when you try to go to another track or record or anything nothing happens. It just stays like that. After maybe a couple minutes or sometimes more, the green light goes off and I’m able to move through functions normally.
Is this normal? I can’t imagine it would be. Most of the time, I just turn it off and back on again. This resolves it, but it is happening kind of frequently. Am I putting it into some kind of mode without knowing?
I’ve factory reset it and it still seems to do it.
I want to know if it’s a hardware thing or what, so I know if I should return it.
Maybe the green led is the microphone led?
If so, that’s the problem, you have to put the opz in a position where the microphone is not activated.

That’s probably it! I was using it in bed and I probably tilted it and activated the mic. That makes a lot of sense after reading that. I feel dumb haha. Thanks for the reply!
