unless you're a really big fan of TE there really isn't ever a reason to buy anything they make other than maybe the pocket operators. it's all overpriced shit which doesn't make sense to buy when compared with competing products. for example this thing makes zero sense when the sp404mk2 exists.
I’m not a fan per se of TE, but I did get the OP-Z as a continuation of playing with the POs.
I still like it but I’m already trying to find something to eventually replace it with. But is there really something out there with similar size, features, and price as the OP-Z? I would like to find something.
i'd definitely prefer to buy an mc-101 over an OP-Z personally if you want something in the same sort of price range. if you can spend a bit more, i'd look into the dirtywave m8 if the workflow appeals to you. i have one and it's my favourite piece of audio hardware that i own.
of course virtually any computer with a DAW is the real best answer in terms of features and price, but i understand the urge to want to be away from a computer while creating.
