After the huge success of their OP-1, Teenage Engineering unveils the OP-Z Dream Machine, a battery-powered multimedia sequencer and synthesizer.

The functionalities are numerous:
- Advanced polyrhythmic sequencer with 16 tracks
- Step component" composition tool
- Length independent of each track
- Speed independent of each track
- Step-by-step automation
- Step by step recording
- Real-time recording
- MIDI sequence, CV and trigger (requires an interface not provided)
- 3D image and graphic sequence
- DMX sequence (requires an interface not provided)

Each of the 16 tracks can be dedicated to a unique synthesis, sampler or control mode:
- kick
- snare
- percussion
- sample
- bass
- lead
- arpeggio
- chords
- FX slot 1
- FX slot 2
- tap
- mixer
- noon
- cv & trig
- light
- motion

At your disposal, you have up to 160 user patterns and you can link them to infinity.

The effects have a modular and scalable architecture:
- delay
- reverb
- filters
- tremolo

Teenage Engineering has devised advanced step-by-step sequence techniques, called "step components", and offers you 14 types.

Unlike the OP-1, the OP-Z does not have a display, but you can use your iOS device as a display, provided that your device is of a Metal Graphics compatible generation.

The OP-Z application for iOS will be available for free on the App Store quickly.

Thanks to its 2 synthesis domains, P-Z offers an extremely low latency.
