I’m discovering my grey little unit since a few days, and I’m quite understanding a lot of it features. But there’s one I really don’t understand… It’s the synth engines. How do they work ? How do you select them ? Does they apply to a track ? A sound in particular ? A pattern ? And how ? The manual is not so clear about that. I understand the concept of the presets of each track, I thought this was the way the synth engines were applied. But I think it’s different, isn’t it ? Well, any personn kindly enough to explain to me a little bit will be forever thanked !

hold track and select one of tracks 5-8
while holding track still u’ll see the numbers 1-6 light up on the “black keys”
press any of the six numbers to select different engines
the “white keys” underneath them are presets u can save/load for each engine
And when I select a black key like you mentionned, the green and blue color wheel does not do what it’s suppose to do (what the manual tell us it’s doing).
yes i am sure
if u use the app to look at it you’ll see that each number corresponds to one of the synth engines.
for some reason each track doesn’t have all 9 but they are all there, each track is different

So the OP-Z has synthesizer engines that can only be unlocked via the app? That doesn’t sound right. What engines are missing?
Kind of, not really. By default, the four synth tracks each have I think around five or six of the eight synth engines assigned to them - I think the logic is that not all of the synth engines are suited to all of the tracks (for example, some might not be as good for bass etc… which I didn’t find to be particularly true, but still).
It’s trivial to use the app to put any missing engines on any of the tracks, however you can also do it by plugging it into your computer via USB - it’s just a bit less obvious what you’re doing because all of the engines are just named a random number when you do it like this.

I don’t get how you assign all the synths to all the synth tracks if you don’t have an appel device so you can access the app?
Use the disk mode and copy the files from the slots (subfolders) to each other, making sure you don’t double up (ie., two of the same synth in different subfolders). Dunno how to word that so it makes more sense…
i didn’t think to look but i wanna say that its a ~ filename so the actual file is hidden somewhere on the device.
and the ~ file is the folders is just a link
i’ll peep it in a couple minutes just eating my breakfast right now
