„The OP-X PRO-II is hands down the closest thing to our OB-8 to date! It is fat, flexible and runs like a dream on my
Openlabs units. I use it heavily in the shows. I also get to run multiple instances of the instrument which is very cool!
This plug kills!“

„I'm a cynical purist - I own a lot of original analog gear, but the OP-X PRO II made me think about putting my originals
under dust sheets! Fat, punchy, with faster envelopes than my Oberheim Xpander - and I'm not scared to take it on tour
with me!!!“

„Hands down this vst synth is one of the best emulations I ever worked with!
OP-X PRO-II sounds real huge, I was suprised how realistic the basses and
leads sounded. I had the chance to work with an original OB-Xa and this emulation
is coming real close. It's actually a lot fun, fast loading of the presets and a big
libary make it easy to get stuff done quickly.“

„To my ears this sounds like a real synth. A lot of VSTi's sound indistinguishable to me but this is one of the few I can actually recognize. It's hands down
the nicest sounding synth plug-in I ever tried. Growing up I was listening to a lot of The Time, Prince and Van Halen always thinking "What the hell is this synth..".
All I knew was that getting the same almost organ-like bigness from the synths I could get my hands on was never going to happen. So this is a dream come true. Support is lightning fast
and of the highest standard. Patches are, for once, great and usable. And, it's affordable. So a big hurray for sonicprojects. Come on, everybody now. Oh! and the panning per oscillator feature is brilliant.“

„To me the OPX sounds absolutely fantastic.
With an extensive collection of hardware synths and all the soft synths available in my possession, I could not anticipate how much joy I would get from the OPX. It outperforms most of my other softsynths in sound and ease of use, and most important, pleasure and inspiration.
I expect something from "analog" that the OPX delivers and the others don´t.
It even gives new life to Reaktor, which I somehow had left untouched for quite a while.
OPX presets are, in addition to great starting points for new sounds, an almost complete collection of the sounds that got me into synths in the first place.
The downside to all the goodness, is that the myth that you get what you pay for in terms of price/quality is demolished.
In this case the best sounding and most fun instrument is by far the least expensive.“

„I really grew up with analog synthesizers and used to have a variety of different outboard gear. But since the amazing revolution of Digital Workstations and the digital domain in general, I use tons of plugin's and virtual instruments, along with some hardware synths I've fortunately kept. But I had always missed the warmth and the analog and organic sound in VSTi's, so I combined both worlds in my studio environment. Just recently I came across the OP-X Pro II, checked it out and instantly fell in love with it…!!!!! The presets blew me away and after the first tweaks and sessions, I was sure that this VSTi would become my favourite analogue emulation instrument ever, no doubt! I used to own an Oberheim Matrix12 but I had sold it years ago - now I got the Oberheim sound back in my studio, thanks to the guys at SonicProjects! Well done!“

„I was looking for OBERHEIM emulations for ages! OP-X is a beast! The sound engine does a brilliant job - warm, fat.. all you want to expect & hear from an OBERHEIM-plugin. The filters are top notch. Easy use of controllers in realtime. Typical original characteristics were included. In biref: Fantastic VST - an instrument I don't wanna miss especially when touring with my show productions. Thanx, sonicprojects! “

„The OPX is a raw and animalistic in a world of "watery" digital
synths. It springs out at you and demands you ignore its digital
origins...and you do. The sound is immediate, present, without the
slightest "veiling" typically associated with digital instruments.
The sample and hold "circuit" is fantastic, as is the multimode
filter. Sonic purists will find not just the Oberheim X, but the
sonic characteristics of the period in general -- its style, its
personality -- effortlessly conjured. Those inclined to re-create
video game parlors circa 1982 or 8-bit intergalactic war can easily
do so. It's amazing how much it can do, and how good it sounds. This
is a breakthrough.“

„I have to tell you the truth. I was really mad when our keyboardist back in the 1980's traded his Prophet in for an OBX-a. Why?
Because the original OBX-a never sounded as good as YOUR OPX. Your instrument is BRILLIANT! It sits so well in a
mx, whether it's up front or mixed down. It has what few softsynths ever achieve - CHARACTER! That is the unique quality
that a 30 year old Fender Strat has, a Steinway piano, a great vocalist, etc. You have actually surpassed the original OPX in
sound, reliability, user friendliness, and quality. Bravo!! - Ted Perlman“

„In the search for VSTi replacements of the analogue synths we used to play in Elegant Machinery back in the 80’s and 90’s,
we painfully realized that there are loads of software manufacturers out there, claiming that they have the perfect clone to offer.
Unfortunately, this is not true… What’s true though, is that SonicProjects, among very few manufacturers, really are telling
the truth - and that’s with straightforward dignity!
The OP-X and the OP-X Pro offer that fat, sparkling, fluffy and screaming sound that made the analogue Oberheims so wanted,
still to this very day.
OP-X and OP-X Pro have made our studio lives a lot easier to handle.
If you want the true sound of the Oberheim synth monsters, look no further!

„I just spent the last 2 hours playing with OP-X, OP-X PRO, and Stringer. These vsti's are
drop dead brilliant. I have been using vsti's since the day they arrived and this has been
the MOST fun and pleasing set of plugs I've ever used. I was tweaking OP-X and totally
forgot that I was playing a virtual. I had it running thru Scarbee Vintage Keyboard efx...
totally outrageous. I should mention that I'm EXTREMELY pickey about what plugs I goto as
far as sonics, playability, and stability are concerned. OP-X , OP-X PRO , and Stringer
MORE than meet these three criteria. Say 'Hello' to the top three slots of V-Stack for the
Night Ranger gig!“

deal with the hassles of repairing and maintaining one of these vintage beasts, the OP-X
might be the answer. And for the price it's a steal!“

„All I have to say is: THIS THING IS AMAZING! I'm a big fan of the Oberheim sound, (especially

The OP-X captures that OB sound accurately - I am completely blown away. This is what I
have been searching for, and no finicky 20-year old hardware to worry about. If I sound
excited, I am! Best $99 I've spent, hands down. I love it! I'm very satisfied. Kudos to
you and your team on an excellent plugin!“

Same mix ran both through my Alesis Quadraverb 8 channel mixer. Gang this is the real deal,
side by side with my OB8!! I loved the warmth, the sound of the filters, every patch I
created on my OB8 I recreated on the OP-X PRO identical in sound!! I actually liked the
sound of OP-X Pro over my hardware!! Yes the OP-X Pro is that great!! Thank you Sonic!!!“

gave us access to a range of unique sounds that couldn't be achieved with our
current setup, on top of that it sounds rich,sweet, sits well in mixes and is without a doubt
the best OB-X emulation to date.

„The nature of the Tributosaurus project requires me to design a completely different set of sounds from the ground up every month. I rely heavily on softsynths and my OpenLabs Neko to pull this off, as well as a lot of older hardware. The one thing that has been missing from my rig is an OB-X, which was the synth I grew up with, and I've missed it terribly. The OP-X is without a doubt the ONLY softsynth out there that truly captures the Oberheim character - bravo guys! It is a joy to use, and the programming is very accurate to the original. Beyond that, the OPX-Pro gives so many more options that it becomes easy to create emulations of the Jupiters, as well as a plethora of rich and diverse sounds not found in any of the hardware boxes of the day - it's become my go-to softsynth for original sound design. Lastly (but not leastly), Stringer is awesome! how much fun is this thing? A TON of fun! It adds just the right sweetening to a track, and can add a little cheese too when you need it! Congratulations to sonicprojects - you are batting a thousand! I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!“

years for someone to do a virtual Oberheim that was worthy of the name. The OP-X PRO has blown me

„I've been on a search, a lifetime journey, for the ultimate in analog in the
digital realm. In fact, I'd almost given up and decided to solve the problem
by myself... That was until I discovered OP-X.
On first listen I was amazed at how warm this baby sounded. Memories
streamed back into my mind from those classic 80's synth hits. I mean,
hasn't the real synth been used on every track ever made? hehe... So I just
had to have it.
Once on my machine, I found the sound was exactly the same as was presented
on the audio demos page. Awesome. This synth is a keeper. I use it on
everything.
If I had to fault the OP-X, my only minor quibble is that it consumes a lot of
PC power, but I guess it needs to, in order to be so faithful to the analog
emulation.
Congrats on a wicked synth, Pete, which I will continue to use for many
years to come :)

„Already the online presentation and the sound examples have convinced me spontaneously.
But to play the OP-X in the own DAW is again amazing. The sound develops an enormous power,
a high brillance and still remains absolutely accurate in every detail. The handling is
intuitive and great. The OP-X in my opinion is the most convincing tribute to a great synth
classic out there.“

„I can't stop playing with the OPX! Over the
course of 34 years I've owned and played

all there. And it works well, something that
can't always be said of new software synths.
On a scale of 1-10 this is an 11!

„Hello Z, I just purchased it last week. After testing out the demo for awhile, and comparing it
to my other VSTis, I came to the conclusion that it IS the replacement I've been searching for
for my long departed OBXa. It has that Oberheim sound, thick and rich, and for me, it actually
is FUN and inviting to play, because of it's ease to program and that gorgeous sound that flows
from it. If I close my eyes while playing, I really do feel like it's my old OBXa again. ...
I've tried to recreate some of my favorite sounds (Dennis DeYoung's Styx 5th's lead that he used
quite a bit) on every synth that I own, but couldn't quite achieve it, but on my 1st try, nailed
it on OPXpro. In this particular case it's all about the detuned portamento! Anyway, I love it
and would never part with it! Hope this helps...“
Jason Mask (OP-X User)
„I have an OB-X, but it only has three voices. It's also pretty noisy. But I it's a beast: very powerful and loud. OP-X does a pretty good job of emulating that power and nastiness. Of course, it cannot completely recreate it, but it is *extremely* close on a couple of important points: the filters, the rotating voice allocation, and the fact that each voice had its own, shall we say, "characteristic." The OP-X *perfectly* recreates that element of this mighty synth. Very impressed with that. The added features are wonderful. Also, thanks for adding the Ring Mod. I always wanted my OB-X to be even more trashy and exotic! Now it can be...“
|
R.H. (OP-X Pro User)
„After checking the OP-X PRO in the recent days these are my findings: The oscillators and filters sound sensationally good for my ears. The envelopes show that
typical oberheim characteristic. There's a really great sounding sync which is quite rare in virtual analog synths,
software or hardware. The setting up of sounds is an incredible great experience.
My Matrix 1000, which I own and am able to compare, has no chance against the op-x pro any more.
In a blind test I would say the matrix was the plugin and the op-x pro the real thing, not vice versa.
Recently I've set up a brass sound with a quality I've never heard before from any other software synth
and only very few harware synths. I've become a real fan of the op-x pro - it really has that
famous oberheim sound.“

I've been searching for. Thanks again for all the help and for providing a great product!“
R.B. (OP-X user)
„I must say, after having used OP-X for over a year now, I'm still amazed every time I play it. Having reevaluated my opinions on softsynths very recently, I think it has to be said the OP-X is the most realistic analog VSTi.“
stdietmar (kvr)
„I have upgraded to OP-X Pro after Christmas and think this is one of the best sounding synths
at the moment. It has a direct, raw quality (reminds me a bit of Oddity, but of course with
another sound), and has become even more versatile with the changed filter setup.“
Indyman (cakewalk forum)
„Okay - slightly OT I admit but I just had to tell you guys about this. I'm a big fan of
the OB sound , especially '80s (Rush, Styx, Van Halen, Prince) and have been trying to get
an OB-X or Xa for some time but to no avail. Prices are high and you're looking at a 20 yr
old piece of hardware. Then I stumbled across this plugin from SonicProjects, called OP-X.
This thing is amazing! After trying the demo for 10 minutes I had to have it. This thing
nails the OB sound like you wouldn't believe. ... I consider this the best $99 I've spent
on a plugin hands down!“
M.N. (OP-X user)

„I just want to say that the OP-X PRO II is a-ma-zing...it's sounds so warm and real. Great job, great job.“

„If you're looking for a realistic, sweet, FAT analog vsti, this is the most realistic, sweetest, FATTEST one I've ever found!“

„Congratulations on a job well done! It's a synth full of character! And the eighties presets are just amazing.“
J. Nielsen, Denmark
„I´ve just purchased the OP-X Pro upgrade and the Stringer. They are OUTSTANDING!!! The OP-X Pro is simply the BEST ever done together with PPG 2.V and TimewARP 2600 in my humble opinion.“

„Have to say that this is one of the 'meatiest' synths that I've played with. I've just got
the Virus plugin for the Powercore; - whilst the Virus has totally trashed nearly all of my
softsynths in terms of 'this sounds like hardware', the OP-X is pretty much right there
with it.“
D.T. Davies (OP-X user)
„I want to commend you and all the people involved at Sonicprojects for creating what I feel is the best software synth I've ever heard. I've been playing Oberheim synthesizers since the 80's and if someone would have told me I could get that same sound and flexibility from a software program I would have said "Knock it off ". I don't know how you did it but man am I glad you did it. You guys rock!“

OP-X emulating Jupiter:
„Who owns a Jupiter can do the comparison - there's a Jupiter bank shipped with the plugin. I'm carefully not choosing a superlative, but those pads, basses and sweeps catch the roland typical really very very exact. I would not claim that this sounds significantly different or it could told apart in a blind comparison. The oberheim sounds too are abolutely top notch.“

„After spending nearly the whole last night in front of the OP-X PRO-II listening to the presets and doing some little arrangements i can say for shure,
this is the best synth plug i EVER bought. It blows everything out of the water!“
Perry D'Armond
Music Producer
„I started playing synths back in the '70's and have owned some great analog hardware. Moog, Sequential and Oberheim among them. I started moving to soft synths a few years ago and the OP-X PRO-II really stands out from every other analog emulation. I love the capabilities of the other soft synths I use and the OPX is not a replacement for them. However, for the sound of analog keys of the 80's Sonicprojects absolutely nailed it! Keeper!“

„The spirit and sound of the original Oberheim synths are apparent in this exquisite virtual instrument. I've been using the OP-X RRO-II on all my albums and will be continuing to use it into the future on my own records as well as other productions. Long live OP-X and Sonic Projects!“

„OP-X is a phenomenal analog synth, reborn from the ashes of the legendary OB-X this analog
voltage powerhouse is a unique addition to any studio junkie. I use it in many of my
electro house and progressive trance projects. It works wonders, and slices through mix
like a machete!“

„I have purchased nearly $2000 dollars worth of Analog emulative VSTis and this has been
an amazing experience for me! Why? Well; I have spent a lot of money for synths from several
well known software companies and never have I gotten this close to the look and
feel of real Analog Synthesizer with any other emulation! I own em' all, CS-80V, MinimoogV,
Jupiter-8V, Prophet-V, and some other 'cheap' emulations, and hundreds of free ones. However,
none of them capture the sheer instability of Analog. Some will drift in pitch, some will
have extremely small changes while cycling through Voice Cards, but this? This is just
amazing! A separate: Filter, Envelope, and Pitch for all 6 voices! Magnificent! You guys
really know your stuff. And for those of you who are still skeptical about buying, think of
it this way: For 50-100 dollars less, you can have the world's ONLY Oberheim Synthesizer
emulation... and BOY does it emulate! Thanks for making a 'Analation" that really delivers,
people. -Synthoid“
