What bugs did yours have? I thought most people’s issues were QC related not software/firmware based
Hard to consider it perfect when it was so bad you’re glad it’s been discontinued
No im not glad its discontinued
I mean so I don’t keep buying them lol

I feel like the OP-Z is like the second album of a band… in the first album, your put in your ideas accumulated over years and create a radical new style (OP-1)… then you have the attention and budget to go big on the second album (OP-Z): crazy new features, crazy form factor, stylized out the wazoo… promising singles (POs) to fuel the hype… The first thing I noticed about the Z (apart from thinking this device is not for real and a joke product, I mean no screen and looks like a TV remote, come on…) was the questionable power switch, which basically says “break me”… (on a side note, I feel the same about the power switch on the OP-1F, the OG-1 switch is also a constant issue, the POs solved this by not having one…)… this was already foreshadowing… I love my Z regardless, it’s so unique… quality issues didn’t keep people from collecting Buchlas and Synthies… just hope that these devices can be kept alive with parts just like the OG-1. Unlike the OG-1 there are opportunities for the user base to further “develop” the device, as you can create your own videopaks and use these to control the device itself, to an extent. Long live the Z!
I knew it was coming so I bought three to last me hopefully a long time… one of a kind!

Smart.
I hope I don’t regret not buying extras. Only just started really getting into it since the announcement, since it hasn’t clicked with me and I was thinking of selling it. But it’s a really great idea generator.
On the OP-XY, I keep having issues with samples not loading properly, forcing me to constantly reset the device just to get them to load—if they even load at all. I’ve also encountered encoder issues, random pops in my recordings after saving them, and lost my projects after performing an MTP save before a factory reset while using version 1.0.29. I’m almost at the point of giving up on it. It was a big investment, only to end up selling it at a loss. They should just bring back the OP-Z.

Rest in Piece OP-Z…
It was obvious that TE stopped caring about it, and especially clear after XY announcement. But still had some hope for the best until now.
