what synths are there that emulate oberheim synths?

I just meant making it a bit more user friendly with some of the functions... like the buttons, etc., not the size of the display. I have the latest version and the size itself is very good now.

Diva can do a very nice emulation of an OB-8 with some tinkering, or the right presets

Agreed on W23's post--http://swanaudio.co.uk/classic-ob/ is pretty identical to the hardware, it's a fantastic set!

That's the wrong conclusion. Is really the most accurate OB-X emulation with a monster of a factory library on top of that.

1. "wrong conclusion" about a subjective matter? I don't think so. I don't think it sounds that great. That's my evaluation, and I stand by it. If you'd like to present an A/B of it and your OB-X, please, go ahead. Surely you have an OB-X, and that's why you're so confident that my conclusion is 'wrong', yes?
2. I don't care about the factory presets. I program analog synths and analog synth emulations myself, that is the whole point of being interested in analog synths, afaic.

Maybe this will be enough to enlighten you.
And you actually compared the OP-X II with a real OB-X to reach your conclusion, right?

Why would I need one to assert that to me it sounds like any standard VST software synth? That's what it sounds like to me. I don't need an OP-X next to me to make that statement.

Well... that's because IT IS a standard VST Synth. Any software synth that conforms to the VST standard is a "standard VST software synth", by definition. Actually, I wouldn't care of a software synth that wasn't
EDIT: Except VCV, for the moment (but a VST version is in the works).
Anyway, the question isn't whether it is or not a VST synth. Question is: Is it faithful to the emulated hardware counterpart or not? Judging from the examples you can find in the search I linked, it seems pretty close to me.

For some the question is simply: does it sound good - does it inspire me! Youtube comparisons are useless imho, as its about a lot of subtle personal unconscious taste which do not carry through the medium (not even the subtleties of the sound...)
If the hardware in its size and physicality will inspire you to create your sounds and music, and software doesn't, even if you cannot distinguish the sound in a double blind test, your choice is evident...
For me its usually the other way around, the ease of use and the ease of dealing with software is often more inspiring for me - with rare exceptions like a real Arp 2600, but I don't have one, not even the space for it...
But I have a nice memory I'll keep forever which inspires me as well...

There was a test where you could listen to 9 varied examples and see which one you thought was the hardware and which was OP-X Pro II here:

Just don't read ahead too far (until you've guessed which one is which) as the answers are given a page or two later.

from a previous post of mine ,i found some differences in the shape of the envelopes,so op-x is NOT a identical emulation,sure the patches are very close.
sergiofrias wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:16 pm Since the hardware ob-x have Cem 3310 envelopes,why does obxd and op-x emulation have completely different envelope shape? i compared Repro-1 to both synths (since pro-one also got cem 3310),op-x is linear,while obxd is exponential:

so what is the closest to the real envelopes?
(i used a filter sweep with resonance on the test above,it would be great if someone can make a filter sweep on a real ob-x to check the diferences)

It also has an additional "linear" mode which goes in straight lines, as in your screenshot.
This screenshot is wave amplitude, but a high resonance filter sweep gives a similar envelope shape on spectrograms.
