OP-X PRO-3

This synth simply sounds freaking awesome and the included libary is second to none. Coming from PRO-II the new features are a godsend, especially the new patch browser and the mod matrix which opens up incredible possibilities. There's some stuff I simply couldn't do in PRO-II which I now can. I however hated the original ocre color, that's why I was very glad when they released the alternative blue and dark skins. I'm using the blue one now which I really like. The interface initially is looking very complicated and cluttered and almost put me off from upgrading initially, but after using it a while now I find it much more logical than PRO-II and therefore a lot easier to program stuff without grabbing the manual everytime. For newbies there's probably still a learning curve since there's so much stuff, but as a "trained" OP-X PRO-II user you know most controls already. And after using the new patch browser a while you almost can't go back to PRO-II. Plus the sound is even better. I don't think anything compares regarding richness of texture, fullness and warmth. Each patch in the library is outstanding. So if you're serious about sound take the effort to dig into it even though it's quite a bit harder than in other synths. You'll be rewarded.
