There are a lot of people here who are probably going to hate this but I f**king love it! And it's free if you own OB-E.

If only there were room on the GUI to show both the filter AND amp envelopes at the same time rather than have a button toggle between them.
I'll stick to the big boy version of this. Don't need a preset player. But hey, if others enjoy it, by all means...

Well, its cheap (£25) if you just want to play the sounds with basic tweaking.

I don't understand why I would use this if I have the full version.
I will say though, that this (and OB-E of course) has maybe the best square waveish sounds in all of VST land. A deep sounding square wave is, seemingly, pretty hard to code.

I heard they were worried they don't enough Oberheim emulations. There's going to be an OB-EZ Pro that utilizes half of that blank plate and an OB-EZ Pro+ that uses all of that blank plate. Unfortunately the Pro+ won't be included with OB-E.Funkybot's Evil Twin wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 1:50 pm If only there were room on the GUI to show both the filter AND amp envelopes at the same time rather than have a button toggle between them.

Have you ever tried to use the full version? It's basically f**king impossible. Given the choice, I'd rather have this than OB-E. I use SEM all the time, easily my most used synth of the last 6 months, but even though I've had OB-E longer, I've never got a sound out of it that I was happy with. I get the shits with it and fire up bx_oberhausen instead, where I can get what I want in a minute or two.briefcasemanx wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 2:18 pm I don't understand why I would use this if I have the full version.
Would this be better if it exposed all the controls for a single module? Yes it would but, as it is, it's got enough to make it useful and there are more than enough starting points you could turn into INIT patches for your own uses. e.g. INIT-Saw, INIT-Pulse, INIT-Sync, INIT-5th, etc. And the presets are excellent, I have never favourited more presets for any synth in my life.

Why are they spending time on stuff like this. All that space and you can't see filter and amp envelopes at the same time?
Come on now, finish impOscar3!

I do like this, but is it a restricted preset player? I don't see a way to import OB-E patches/collections? I guess it would have to be because of the price? But this does make me want to stick to OB-E. I wish they had just added a simple interface view to OB-E.

You don't need to import OB-E patches, you just see them in the browser.
I guess the inspiration was the OB-SX. I'll probably never program OB-E so this is fine.

Is it OB-easy or Obesey?

Sometimes simplicity makes one more productive. A recent example is Axxess vs Oddity. Lots of people prefer Axxess because it's dead-easy to use.briefcasemanx wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 2:18 pm I don't understand why I would use this if I have the full version.
