Nice one Synapse, thanks for continuing to support MacOS!

Yep, though The Legend M1 probably comes first. There is a few minor things people have requested here and in our beta forum, stuff we want to add to Obsession while we rebuild everything.

Sure hope the Legend and Obsession updates, have optional additional GUI's that aren't bound in vst/au/aax by the limitations required for having an RE Version.

Yes, « squared » UI because of Reason Rack…

cant see that changing.... especially as they are emulations, so they want them to at least look similar

a few new features are likely, but a total rewrite of the the skinning system is not

I very much dislike the colour scheme of Obsession and no it doesn't mirror the OB-XA's colour scheme. I don't mind the colour scheme of Legend, but that is not what I mean.

1) I hate having to flip to the back to change some things.
2) Dune 3's dimensions and size fits much better on my monitor. With Legend and Obsession, Medium is a bit small and Large too big. Even just additional sizes would be nice.

(and yes I am still not a fan of the Obsession's layout, and I have spent years with an Oberheim OB Synth)

Well, you have to thank Richards obsession (no pun intended) with Re's for the graphical limitations of those two synths (and I expect any further emulations to follow the same format, as they seem pretty similar in simplicity etc)

aside from a res hacker, i doubt there will be any way to change the graphics, and even then it's very limited

Glad to see VST3's are coming. Tried Dune3 VST3, I do wish they were getting the Juce/multi-touch treatment but oh well, at least most parameters of legend/obsession are mappable to hardware via automation. Hopefully the Legend matrix slots will be exposed to automation like Obsession's are (plus any remaining buttons/parameters).

Actually we can have a different UI. Technically this is not much of an issue, the interface code is completely separate for VST and RE, it is just the core DSP code which is shared. Of course we would have to design a new skin which is the hard part, and there is no guarantee a new skin is going to suit everybody's taste. But it is certainly possible. What is not possible is just to transfer such changes made to the VST/AU/AAX over to the Rack Extension. So some RE users may complain here. Since Reason supports VST since a while now, this is less of an issue though than a couple years ago.

That would be great.

It won't happen. Trust me, we all tried to convince him during beta with no success. As Rich said, no matter what you do, someone will complain. Therefore the easiest thing is to do nothing. I hate the front/back thing but it is what it is and I really can't see it changing. It's probably why I never use Obsession any more, either.

revvy · Post by **revvy** » Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:17 am

I still use it as it's still easy to use and still sounds superb. Don't like the front /back so much but hey.

And I paid for it too.

I always reach for bx_oberhausen but that's probably as much to do with the proper SEM filter as anything else. But I do prefer bx_oberhausen's GUI/workflow as well.

Yes, probably BONES. But again, the situation is different today. The RE info/shop page seems to be somewhat hidden right now (unless I'm missing something- not sure where this is going), and many users have crossgraded to VST already.
