réactions à la news L'OP-Z de Teenage Engineering avance

Tous les gens qui ont approché le truc sont assez unanimes (les beta testeurs comme les mecs présent à l'événement Allemand) : la machine tue, probablement un des trucs les plus novateurs du marché depuis longtemps. Perso, ce qui me refroidit, c'est qu'il ne fait pas sampler. A part ça...

Plus que quelques jours avant la première fournée et l'event au Moma de NYC. 

Oui, oui. Un mec de TE m'a répondu sur FB que l'OPZ pouvait lire des samples mais qu'il ne samplait pas directement. En ce sens, il se complète bien avce l'OP1. 

Ceci dit, le mec a aussi dit qu'il ne samplerait pas "pour le moment" donc on peut espérer une MAJ qui réctifiera le tir... 

Pour être précis, c'est "dit" dans la vidéo du superbooth au dessus. A 5:50 il parle de sampler avec l'op1 pour envoyer vers l'opz.

Le mec de TE m'a répondu, pour le citer : "OP-Z is a sequencer, it has not been announced as a sampler. it has sample playback capability and a built-in microphone however no stand-alone sampling functionality announced, as of this date".

Bon et bien cette machine ne sortira peut-être jamais (ahaha)... il y a une tuile à l'usine et donc tout foire. Je vous mets le commentaire de Tobias Von Hofsten (le mec de la vidéo du superbooth) 

"ok hardcore fans, tobias @ te here. i was the .one crying with tears of joy at superbooth back in may, finally allowed to announce an official launch date for OP-Z. man, what an honor! i personally love this thing and been waiting for something like it for a long time, that's why it was so emotional. for the first time, everything was finally going as planned!? should've know better. - so what has happened? all i know is this, i was on vacation for a week and after that i went to the uk to meet up with Symon to do some work. he told me he just heard there had been a chemical leak at the factory next to ours, thus causing the area, including our OP-Z factory to shut down operation for a few weeks. a little while later i saw the official internal te email stating the same. due to our super tight production plan this meant we were not going to be able to supply moma with the quantities required, and our (rather grand) plans could not be realized and had to be cancelled. this of course put everybody off but facts are facts and apparently no one got directly hurt at that other factory which is good. since we couldn't cancel flights or hotel rooms we'll go anyway. we've shipped a handful of pre-production units (hope they'll clear customs) so if you're in town please check our official instagram for updates on where we'll be. this may look as a carefully planned 'teenage' marketing scheme, however it's rather us trying to do the best with what we've currently got. no hype, just a bad ass sequencer. come talk to us! OP-Z love!"
