Self-promotion is totally okay as long as you aren't just going absolutely crazy with it. :)

I've spent probably a few hundred hours with the OP-Z! Back in 2019 I composed and recorded an album while traveling. I like pairing it with the Korg mini kaoss pad 2S for effects... I usually record straight into my phone via USB, or into the SD card of the Korg.
I also have a Deluge, and I'm slowly trying to get used it... I also like playing guitar, and the Deluge is interesting because I can use it as a looper. But I'm still warming up to it.
Nice! The OP-Z is such a fun piece of gear once you figure it out. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the case warping issue that led to double triggers and stuff.
As a guitar player, what do you think of the isomorphic keyboard on the Deluge? I’m not a guitar player, but I always hear that guitar players tend to like it because it’s similar to a guitar layout. I know I personally enjoy it.
Yeah, I have 2 OP-Zs... the first one is warped and the second one has popping encoders and double triggers. And both make a click-click-click noise every few minutes. But I still love them, and I have used them to perform live, regardless of all the quality issues.
I like the isomorphic keyboard layout, it's definitely easier coming from guitar! Lately I've been using a Linnstrument as my main controller, and it feels natural to play when I use the guitar tuning. Earlier this year I used it with the Surge XT synth for a song, and it was a lot of fun.
