OP-X

|
OP-X
Can load and edit the patches of the lower lever OP-X PLAYER (they share the same patches format)
|
OP-X PRO
Can't load the lower version OP-X patches directly, but the OP-X PRO library
contains all lower version OP-X patches converted to OP-X PRO format. They will
also sound exactly the same as in OP-X. The many additional patches (200) make
use of the extended features.
|
OP-X PRO, OP-X PRO-II
Can load all former OP-X PRO patches and process them with the new features (e.g. add effects, arpeggiate, refine
detuning settings, increase polyphony etc.). Pretty much all former patches included. Library completely
overhauled and newly organized with tons of new sounds.
Mac and 64bit versions: Can't load old fxb format directly, but we offer a patch convert plugin for translation
to the new format
The sound reloads page
furthermore offers all former OP-X and OP-X PRO sounds in original form converted
to both new formats in one handy package for direct placement in the library. This lets you turn all versions
of OP-X PRO-II to an OP-X, OP-X PRO and OP-X PLAYER with identical sound.

Why buy
|
You want to try out and use the separate voice design synthesis without any budget.
OP-X FREE gives you a small selection of great original OP-X sounds for free. If
you need more sounds and automation you can upgrade to OP-X PLAYER for a very cheap
price which will give you instant access to the whole OP-X library containing more than
500 of the finest patches.
|
You are looking for the cheapest way to play and use all those great OP-X sounds. You
are more of a preset user and hardly ever do any deep editing or create own patches from
scratch. You are looking for a great sounding general purpose collection of classic
analog sounds of the highest available quality. OP-X PLAYER gives you one of the greatest
sounding and most useful set of analog sounds available which covers all classic genres
from Obie over Minimoog, Prophet, Jupiter, Strings, Brasses, Solos, Basses, fully
extendable with masses of existing and coming new sounds from the OP-X library at no
additional cost (500 patches included). If you want to get access to all parameters
you can upgrade to OP-X for a cheap price.
|
You are looking for an omnipotent classic polyphonic analog synth that can do
the typical OB-X sounds, but also Jupiter, Prophet, Minimoog and many other ones
that really have the richness and organic feeling of the originals without using any
effects, all of them tweakable on a great looking and intuitive user interface. OP-X
will deliver. It's one of the most flexible virtual analogsynths available that can
do almoust all known classic analog sounds, no matter what brand, huge, innocent,
fat, soft, warm, aggressive or clear. The patches library contains more than 500
ready to play sounds which are said to be one of the greatest and most authentic sounding available.
The graphical user interface can be completely remote controlled with parameter feedback
which makes it possible to use OP-X like a real analog hardware synth without the need
of a computer mouse.
|
You like the sound of OP-X but are curious for even more features and modulation
possibilities and are looking for complex XPander and SEM sounds that make use of
multimode filtering. OP-X PRO gives you a great sounding dual multimode filter
derived from the old SEM which allows continuous blending of modes and filter mix.
You also want to have more control over the default detuning by tweaking it by
yourself. OP-X PRO gives you a lot of virtual trimpots for this that allow to set
up you own custom tunings. New interesting modulation options like the unique panning
modulation give some extra salt and makes the patches take off. All this combined
gives a tremendous and almoust endless potential for never heard sounds with an
uparalleled deepness and richness. The patches
library contains all former OP-X sounds ready for further tweaking and masses of new
ones using the new features. As an owner of the lower version OP-X you can get OP-X
PRO for a very cheap upgrade price.
|
You have a modern computer, don't care much about spending a few more dollars and
simply want the best and most powerful available. You're a live musician and look
for a self-contained solution offering its own effects and patch browser so that
a simple no-overhead vst host is sufficient to run the plugin. You're out for extremely
broad and lush pads and strings that profitate from the doubled polyphony and linear
amp envelope option. You generally like to have more options in several areas like LFO,
pitchbend, modulation and envelopes to fit your needs. You like it comfortable and so
appreciate all the little helpers for quick calibration, panning control and other functions.
You're already familiar with the separate voice design and want to have even more detailed
control over detunings, voices, levels and so on. You love it to play one-finger chord lines.
You want to have a really powerful arpeggiator to explore new levels of performance. You
want to have access to a huge library of ready to play sounds. You want to have one of the
biggest and most authentic sounding libraries of famous 80ies sounds and famous classic
analog synths. These all could be reasons to decide on OP-X PRO-II :-)

Remember: Every dollar spent on a product of the OP series is already spent on
the next higher one. So it does not depend where you start. You will always be
able to upgrade to the next higher version just for about the remaining price difference!
