There's lots of good sequencers at that price point, or cheaper. E.g. check out NI's Maschine range.

The OP-1 isn't just a sequencer. It is a synth, a sequencer, a sampler (which even includes an internal FM radio if you need a creative source), etc.

You should explore the machine if you get the chance or watch some of the stuff people do with it. It is a great creative instrument.

just as a note, the original post is discussing the op-z and not the op-1, although responses to criticism of both instruments is usually the same in that they do way more than people think. :)

? that's not even in the same product category. the maschine requires constant connection to a computer. and none of the maschine line is the size of a tv remote with a long-lasting battery.

in addition, the op-z is not just a sequencer. even if you considered it just a sequencer, it can sequence multiple audio tracks, cv tracks, and a video track.
