Factory default bank:
Before you start checking out all the additional banks we highly recommend to play once through
the 128 presets of the factory default bank which the synth starts with after instantiation. It's
chosen patches taken from various banks, which give a good impression on what the synth can do.
Once you've done this it's time to check out the additional banks, which can be loaded with the BANK LOAD button.
Clicking on it will present you the file structure as shown on the left. You always can return to the factory
default bank by loading the PROII_DEFAULTBANK from the root area.

Library structure:
There's a root area offering 32 banks and two sub-folders containing 34 further banks.
The root area contains the original soundset which already was included on installation in the old 32bit
version of the synth. The two sub-folders "Downloaded" and "Exrabanks" contain further banks:
 |
|

|
This folder contains all additional banks released on the sound reloads page
after the initial release of OP-X PRO-II until the release of the 64bit and Mac version:
sound reloads site
|
|
Extrabanks
|
This sub-folder contains some additional small banks. Some of them contain patches we used for songs used for testing.
So the old windows 32bit version doesn't include these sub-folders on installation.
If you didn't download the reload banks included in these as single banks already you can download them
in one package in windows 32bit format (fxb) from here:
download for version 1.1 (windows 32bit)
By placing the folders included in this package the windows 32bit version (1.1) will have the exact same
library and library structure as the 64bit and Mac versions have after installation.
Banks info:
Here's now finally the list of all included banks. Each bank entry offers infos, audio clips and videos
for the dedicated bank.
You either can scroll through the banks freely, or target a dedicated bank by clicking on its file name in the
tree structure of the left pane, which will automatically take you to the right place. You can go back to the
tree structure by clicking the back arrows or the browser's back button.
The same as in the tree structure the banks of the two sub-folders are at the top while the banks of the root area
are at the very bottom.

Bit 99 Bank
Crumar Bit 99 presets collection
The Crumar BIT99 was an analog synth from the Italian company Crumar which came out in 1985. It used pitch-stable DCOs instead of VCOs
and did completely withiout any knobs. Both was the new trend in 1985. A synth of the same manner (DCOs, no knobs) was the Oberheim
Matrix-6. The Crumar BIT99 also was available in a rack version called BIT 01.
www.vintagesynth.com/misc/bit99.php
Since the BIT99 had velocity sensitivity it was very dynamically playable and thanks to the ability for filter self oscillation also could do
some great filter-effect sounds. The best feature however was the "Double" function which made one key trigger two voices which could produce
extremely fat sounds. This feature in fact inspired the "Double" preset in OP-X PRO-II's midi processor presets which does exactly this.
The presets in this bank actually were cloned from the presets of our studio BIT-99 machine. They mostly use the zero position of the beats
control trimpot in the CONTROL section to emulate DCO behaviour.

PROII_CKBUNDLE | Rootbanks |
Classic Keys Bundle Bank
This is the original soundset of OP-X in our VM Bundle for the SM Pro Audio V-Machine hardware VST Player.
This version of OP-X including the same soundset also was included in the Classic Keys Bundle (CKB) DVD
for the V-Machine sold by SM Pro audio which sometimes also was bundled with the V-Machine.
When the V-Machine came out (end of 2008) OP-X PRO-II didn't exist yet, only its less capable precedessors
OP-X PRO and OP-X, from which OP-X, the less cpu demanding of the two, was adapted in a special version for the
V-Machine and finally found its way into the VM Bundle and into the Classic Keys Bundle.
In fact the development of the OP-X for the V-Machine was an important preliminary work regarding CPU optimization
and too use of effects for the later coming OP-X PRO-II. Which also means that OP-X PRO-II can do all (and much
more) that OP-X in the VM Bundle / CK Bundle could, and so can do all these patches with identical sound.
So if you somewhen should have strumbled over the VM Bundle video in youtube (which became the mostly wached
V-Machine video in youtube) and liked the sounds but did not know how to re-create them without getting a
V-Machine, here you go. The CK Bundle bank features the exact same sounds.

Default Bank
This is the factory default soundset which the synths always starts with after new instatiation. It's 128 chosen
patches taken from various banks which tries to give an impression of what the synth can do.
So when you loaded a different bank and want to return back to the default soundset without re-instantiating
the plugin simply load this bank.
The synth however doesn't load the default soundset from this bank. In versions prior to 1.2.6 it used to load
it from the DEFAULTBANK file located one level deeper, but since version 1.2.6 the default soundset actually
is compiled into the plugin to save CPU cycles on initialization.
There are countless demos for the default soundset. We just chose a few of them for this info page.

PROII_EMPTY | Rootbanks |
Empty Bank
This empty bank can be used as base to create own custom banks.
To create an own custom bank first on save the soundss you want to be there as single presets using PRESET SAVE.
You can create custom sub-folders within the presets area to group presets and keep things organized.
If you created an own preset or edited one you first on may give it a new suitable display name by clicking into
the preset name field, typing in a new name and confirm with enter.
Once you save the preset the default save file name always defaults to the display name. But to e.g. save variants
of the same preset you also can edit / extend the save file name to specify variants, like e.g. "Cool Brass" to "Cool Brass v1",
"Cool Brass v2", or similar.
Editing the save file name won't change the set preset display name (so the name that appears in the preset
name field) since the display preset name is an independent parameter and isn't linked to the file name.
Once you have your presets saved and want to create a custom bank out of them for faster loading / switching then first
on simply load the PROII_EMPTY bank, and then load the saved presets into its slots one by one in each order you like
using the PRESET LOAD button.
Once you're finished (note that you don't need to load in full 128 presets, you also just can load a few and leave the
rest empty) save the bank with a new custom name of choice using BANK SAVE.
To keep your own custom banks separated from the pre-installed and downloaded banks you may create a dedicated sub-folder
for these, like e.g. "Userbanks". It's all up to you.

Frequency modulation presets collection
Since OP-X PRO-II can do pure sine FM like XPander and Matrix-12 it can do all kinds of two-operator FM sounds.
It's even more flexible than XPander and Matrix-12 since it offers sine waves in the oscillators and so
doesn't have to sacrifice the filter for it as it was the case in XPander and Matrix-12.

OP-X PRO-II includes several features borrowed from the Jupiter-8, including its famous arpeggiator (OP-X PRO-II can
do its typical input-order behaviour and too offers the randomized mode) and invertable filter envelope, and too can
be switched to pure mono-mode and less detunings for more clinical sound.

Matrix-12 and Xpander inspired presets collection
Since OP-X PRO-II features morphable multimode filters, FM, extended modulation options (like panning modulation, which not even the Matrix could do)
and 12 independent voices (like Matrix-12) it can do most XPander and Matrix-12 stuff with ease.
Sure, it doesn't offer the whole plentora of multiple LFOs, envelopes and modulation options.
But in the real life nobody really exploited all of these modulation options anyway. Our synth offers the musically most useful of them, which
allow to replicate most of the typical sounds one would relate to these late and final Oberheim synths.

PROII_MINIMOOG | Rootbanks |
Minimoog Bank
Minimoog presets collection
OP-X PRO-II of course isn't a Minimoog emulation by no means, sure. But nevertheless it can emulate some of its typical sounds pretty well
in our opinion. But you are the judge!
How is this possible? Well, on one hand also the Minimoog just used voltage controlled oscillators and a filter to do its sounds.
The filter had its dedicated own character, sure. But the main reason for what kind of sounds the Minimoog could do was the way
these basic components were aligned and how they interacted.
The famous bass sound for example was a result of the 3-oscillators-setup, the detunings between these, and the 24db filter.
OP-X PRO-II of course doesn't have a Minimoog filter and also only two oscillators per voice. BUT since the 12 voices of the synth
in fact are independent mono-synths which can be arranged in almost any way, the famous 3-oscillators setting can be emulated,
namely by just activating 3 voices, engaging the "Oct Up Down" preset of the chord presets, and finally activate unison with
legato activated.
Regarding Minimoog sounds we especially like the sounds Manfred Mann did on "Angel Station", and too how George Duke used it,
like e.g. in "Love Reborn", which we tried to emulate.
But you are the judge!

PROII_OBERHEIM | Rootbanks |
Oberheim Bank
Oberheim presets collection
Some typical Oberheim-type sounds, which e.g. means: Broad, a bit "pissed-off", using stereo panning, portamento detune, etc.
Note that you'll find hundreds of other Oberheim-type sounds throughout the entire library of course! But these give sort of an
impression on what was typical about the Oberheim synths.

PROII_ORGAN | Rootbanks |
Organ Bank
Organ presets collection
Due to switchable filter self oscillation OP-X PRO-II is capable of doing organ sounds with up to 3 partials per voice,
using the filter as a third sine oscillator, and simulate leslie using pan modulation.
That's why OP-X PRO-II can do some really amazing organ sounds!

Percussive presets collection
This is a somehow unfinished bank offering some percussive-style short-attack sounds to offer a category for this. There
however are hundres of other similar type sound all across the library.

Abba Eagle Polymoog
Abba Polymoog Brass
Regarding the last demo clip, the Abba Polymoog Brass:
This is the intro Benny Andersson played at the legendary Wembley concert as intro for "Summer Night Cities".
However, as we only later on (too late!) found out: what Benny Andersson played here in fact was not a Polymoog (as falsly assumed), but a
Yamaha GX-1. Listen to it by yourself:

We think we came pretty close!
PROII_PROPHET | Rootbanks |
Prophet Bank
Prophet-5 presets collection
This bank offers presets cloned from recordings and Youtube demos of original Prophet-5 factory sounds as
well as other typical Prophet-5 sounds.

PROII_SAMPLEHOLD | Rootbanks |
Samplehold Bank
Some Sample & Hold type presets
The synth not only can do normal "standard" sample & hold (where noise is sampled) but also "sampled vibrato" ispired
by OB-8, which samples the sine wave of the vibrato LFO (modulation).
Note that the library offers many other sample & hold type sounds in banks that were released later.
Demo Clips:

PROII_SH2000 | Rootbanks |
SH-2000 Bank
Roland SH-2000 presets collection
The Roland SH-2000 was a monophonic preset synthesizer featuring aftertouch. The synth was Roland's answer to ARP's Pro Soloist.
www.vintagesynth.com/roland/sh2000.php
The presets in this bank in fact are the original SH-2000 presets which we cloned from our own studio SH-2000.
The patches however are set up polyhonically, since they originally were programmed for the precedessors of OP-X PRO-II
which didn't have the flexible voice management OP-X PRO-II offers now.
So if you want the presets act true authentically as in the original monophonic SH-2000 then deactivate all voice
channels (voice mutes) except for one, activate unison, and switch on legato mode (Lega ON). Then you'll have
a virtual SH-2000.
In the old days synth presets tried to replicate real instruments like tuba, violin, harmonica etc. which nowadays
seems a bit laughable. Nevertheless some of these cloned the originals astonishingly well (like e.g. the Oboe),
and especially the dark brass-type sounds like tuba are excellent innocent sounding synth lead sounds.
Also these presets can be a welcome base whenever you try to program a sound than has to sound like an Oboe, Tuba,
etc. That's why these presets in our opinion are extremely helpful and important to have in a library.
