OP-X Pro II vs....?

I'm in LOVE with the sound of this synth. It even rivals Diva...which is saying a LOT.
But I'm not in love with the controls and the preset browser. Unless I'm missing something (which I might be) you can't observe any control values or return the knobs to their default position with a mouse-click. I NEED that. The preset system feels pretty clunky. You can't browse with up/down arrows.
Again, the analog modelling is PERFECTION. But the control surface still needs work imo.

I'm a Windows guy, but there appears to be a Mac version. Bugs?

I absolutely love the new GUI actually, especially since it got rid of the virtual keyboard. All in one page and a ton of options.
It takes some effort to learn it, especially the lower row of switches, but overall can't complain.
Spectacular emulation, also extremely CPU efficient.
No values showed for knobs, no default positions, pretty much each knob has to be set by ear.
It probably is'nt the most functional workflow, althought there's a beauty to it.

I don't think you're missing anything, it looks like the dev made a deliberate choice towards a pretty "hardware-like" experience. workflow-wise.Sound Author wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 5:56 pmBut I'm not in love with the controls and the preset browser.

According to his stats: the last time he was signed on here was November of last year - the last time he posted here was 2014.
It's been a while.
So what I'm going to do is give it a couple of days; then email sonicprojects if Peter doesn't get back to me (us) - invite/ask them to come into this forum (unless someone has a better idea - or a direct connection to/with sonicprojects)
