Close enough for you maybe, but from those two demos they sounds as far apart as Wilt Chamberlin is to Martin Short.layzer wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhe2e11Nvb4EvilDragon wrote:Except Matrix 1000 doesn't really sound like an OB-X, not even close.

I come from those "old hardware days" too but there is a way to do it well and there's the way Sonicprojects did it. You can go full skeuomorphic for all I care, frankly I dig that style myself, but at the same time make things more clear, elements larger, numeric displays under knobs. Look at a synth like Retrologue. Looks "hardware" but not to the point of distraction. Layout is clear. They solve the numeric display thing by having roll over pop ups. I've never cracked the manual on that synth because I've never had to. Clear and intuitive to use if you have an understanding of subtractive synthesis.wagtunes wrote:Having come from the old hardware days, I love the GUI. Takes me back. In fact, I wouldn't love the synth as much if they redesigned it. We all know what it's supposed to be and they did a great job doing it.
Now OP-X Pro. Straight off I can see that about half the UI is taken up by a keyboard and a logo header. Both totally superfluous. Then you have a strip for preset management, effects and other softsynth related functions. Small white text on a gray button? OK, moving on. Knobs and main buttons are fine. I'd lose the heavy shadow, but that's me. Then there's the trimpots. Again, since they're not really trimpots do we need to have them so tiny? Only if you want to waste space on a giant logo header. Anyway, that's my opening salvo, but I could go on. You could still harken back to the original hardware and offer a good graphical user interface. It's not done often, but it is possible. </blowhard>

Sorry to bump an old thread, but any idea when OP-X Pro-II 64-bit Windows version will come out of beta?

Who cares, it works great even if it's beta.
Also you didn't have to bump two threads to ask the same question.

It works great, but I wrote to Peter about it anyway.. just to see what he says about it.

Looks like he removed the "beta" label for it.egbert101 wrote:Latest version appears to be 1.2.5, updated December 2016. See the following webpage:cowby wrote:May I know what is the latest version ? Mine is v1.2 if I remember correctly. (Win version)

Love the synth. One of the few 32 bit VSTs that work on my system. Bought mine back in 2015.
There is only one thing about it that I don't like. Any mod wheel assignment you make, you can't designate a mod wheel range. It's 0 to 127 for every patch. So if you assign it to filter cutoff and it's all the way down at 0, you get no sound. It would be great if you could assign and start and end point for the assignment like in just about every other modern synth made today.
Other than that, no complaints. Best OB sim out there as far as sound goes.

What else could a OP-X Pro 3.0 version benefit from?
