Common Teenage Engineering OP-Z Questions
How do I connect and configure the OP-Z for MIDI sync with other devices?
Use a USB-C cable or Bluetooth MIDI. In the OP-Z settings (Shift + Mixer), configure MIDI sync mode to 'Master' or 'Slave' as needed, and select the appropriate MIDI channel.
How do I save and load patterns and projects on the OP-Z?
Patterns are saved automatically within projects. To save a project, hold the 'Screen' button (first button on the left) and press the number key corresponding to the project slot you want to overwrite or save to. Loading a project is the same sequence.
How do I change the key and scale of the OP-Z's sequencer?
Hold the 'Shift' button and turn the 'Red' encoder to select the root key, and the 'Green' encoder to select the scale. This affects all tracks set to chromatic mode.
Why is my OP-Z not charging, or the screen is flickering/showing strange artifacts?
First, try a different USB-C cable and power adapter. If the issue persists, it may indicate a battery or hardware issue requiring repair, contact Teenage Engineering support.
How do I use the OP-Z's photomatic feature and what are the limitations?
Hold 'Screen' and press the 'Record' button to activate photomatic. It analyzes images and generates patterns; however, its pattern generation is unpredictable and serves more as inspiration than precise control.
