A lot of comments on here, this gathered way more traction than I thought it would haha. A few things: 1) I tried Deoxid D5, it didn't help :( 2) I'm not really interested in selling the OP-Z, sorry! 3) While the bending and double triggering leaves a lot to desired, I still feel that the OP-Z itself has the best workflow of any sequencer type device I've used, and that is worth $600 alone. Obviously for $600 I'd expect it to last more than a few years, but I do not feel the device is overpriced. 4) A lot of comparisons to the OP-1 and I just have to say that I feel that the two instruments couldn't be more different. I'll have a video in the future. However, neither the OP-Z or OP-1 are toys to me. They are serious tools for music creation. Thank you for watching everybody!

I have all the same issues with mine (bending, double triggering, encoders that won’t seat) and TE would not extend the warranty even though I was among those who preordered the unit and took a chance on them. Had to go through all the hassle of sending them a video just to get that response too! All they did was put me in touch with a repair shop. Of course the cost of repair would be about the same as replacing it outright. And replacing it would be a “fool me twice” situation. The OP-Z makes for an excellent case study in overly ambitious and risk taking design that impresses at first but ultimately fails

TE have done NOTHING to rectify these issues and need to be shamed more publicly from certain high-profile you-tubers if they experience the same problems. Do they even have someone over-looking their product quality? How can a company that prides itself so highly on aesthetics not be concerned about how shoddy their products are? These aren't Behringer prices after all. This is not about hating TE, this is about wanting TE to (vastly) improve/fix/resolve all the common faults on their products and not continue selling them until so.

I've had the same issues. Mine's bent, the dials have popped out, I bought an oplab, but I now realise it doesn't fit the slot properly, so that only works intermittently, and now it's started with the double trigger issues. All this means that in less than 2 1/2 years a £550 synth, plus £130 for the oplab, is now almost unusable and has zero sell on value. I can't think of another piece of gear that has depreciated in value so much, so quickly. It's such a shame because it's a great little synth/sequencer in theory, but the build quality and customer service are beyond terrible. I'll never buy one of there products again.

I sometimes have double triggers on my MPC One as well actually, really have to tweak the threshold value again, because it should not cut off pads just played through *basic table vibrations*. It does help to play with heavy fingers and a lot of after touch type pressure, but it can get weird at times on that device too. It would be interesting to see if anyone else runs into this issue. And it would also be interesting if adding a soft cloth underneath the OP-Z could prevent double triggers. I'm guessing it is in the sequence somehow and quantize sometimes fails to correct it, either that, or it's just very glitchy and is in desperate need of a software/firmware update.

I had to replace my OP1 day one due to double triggers. But I luckily haven’t any problems with my OP-Z. I even bought it when it was first released. I do get some double triggers on the OP-Z but I find it’s cause I’m not pressing the button hard enough. If I only half push down it rides the switch and triggers it multiple times. It’s not the same as when my OP-1 was double triggering as I couldn’t prevent it at all like the switch was broken. Im always worried they are going to break down seeing they’re my only gear and I hate using DAWs. I just love the workflow on the OP-Z. I have been using it for a few years now so even if I had to replace my OP-Z I’d consider it a normal cost. We replace our phones every couple years anyway I think of it more like a bi-yearly expense. I can’t expect an instrument to not wear down. Harmonicas wear down so much I couldn’t keep buying new ones. I think with digital gear we have higher expectations but it’s still gear with moving parts that wear down over time. Of course the longer it lasts the better but… one thing I wish TE did so was update their gear to ver 2 with better parts. The op1 is the same as it was when it came out but could really benefit from USB C and other small things not worth a full new model, more of a revision.

Mine bent. A good tip is to buy some extra stick on rubber feet and stick them in the centre for support

Class lawsuit, ? Replacement program? Let me know if you need a signature,... setting 3rd spark, effect on a step and double triggering wipes out all you put on a step? Shame , I don’t have these issues with pocket operators and those are a lot cheaper

Wow I am glad you made this video but damn that’s pretty lame. It sounds so good - it looks like they used cheap parts to make it and probably realized it too late. Some of these companies refuse to take the hit - sad smh - I was just about to pull the trigger. Thx for the lovely video

I like the opz and op1 I have both but for their rediculous price they are weak, my op1 I've owned for a month and the c key broke and there's never any replacement boards in stock (you have to replace the entire damn keyboard for one key) like I paid 1200 for it, why is it having such poor build issues.. Not like I bang the keys, I expect better from such lucrative devices Interesting thing I've heard the opz switched case manufacturers at some point, so the outer plastic is not flimsy anymore, but they should offer replacements free of charge

The issues with this device are bad, but it is the reported response from TE that have put me off ever buying any TE products.

I recall reading someone's enquiry to TE about if they have changed/improved/fixed the op-z. Their response was just "we stand by all our products".
