Hands down the Best OB-Xa emulation out here. Oozes the Oberheim 80's cem sound. This OPX Pro II, and OB-E (and SEM) and you got Oberheim shangri la.

Amazing Emulation. Sounds fantastic and despite a bad wrap is quite easy to use. If you're after the OBX sound check it out .

One of the Best Drum Synths out there.

Sequencer is powerful, easy and fun.

Patternarium is an almost endless source of inspiration and free patterns and presets.

Free updates for life .

Only Cons I've ever had with it have been addressed over the years and the newer Skins make it much easer on the eyes too.

Having Arturia's V collection and subsequent SEMV2, OP-XA V and Matrix 12V, BrainWorx bx_oberhausen, discoDSP's OB-Xd, Sonic Projects OPX-Pro II, Cherry Audio Eight Voice I didn't really think I needed another OB plugin, but it's Gforce and having owned all there earlier pre v2 Synths and loving them (impOSCar especially) I downloaded the demo ... two days later had to buy it .

Sounds fantastic, easy to use, The built in Reverb sounds about as good as the Novation Summit's as icing on the cake .

It's relatively Cheap. A perfect mono synth really .

Only Con : I'm sure I'll have to buy OB-E now which is not so cheap and had avoided until this point ...trying it's demo out now, but is worth it's weight in hype too .

VA, Wavetables, FM based synth with multiple options of each type.

Massive amount of easy to use modulation .

Mutable Instruments Plaits & Clouds, OB-Xd filters, Oden II filters, Air Windows fx all built in.

It's one of the best, most flexible synths period ...that also happens to be free and open source.

Just surface scratches really stop reading this review and go Download it.

Very convincing analog drum synth ...the best I've heard and I've owned/demoed a few, However it also has a character all its own as well (not many "emulators can claim that)
Stable ! I use it in Live, Logic, Cubase has never crashed since v1.2.6, old Steinberg distributed pc version was buggy.
Great for any electronic music style especially EBM, Industrial, Electro, Trance etc.

Note: want to hear Attack examples in commercial music ?
Check out nine inch nails-year zero it's all over that record;"the great destroyer" and "Capital G"'s main drum beats are undeniably Attack.

Pros:
Deep Programming options .
Ability to emulate every major classic analog drum synth .
Clean concise easy to use Gui .
Can be used as polyphonic synth .
12 Part multitimbral.
Pretty low CPU consumption on a modern machine.
Built in distortion .
The documentation goes through the history of vintage drum machines and how to emulate them with attack !
Cheap ! and comes bundled with PPG2.v and D-pole.
Waldorf Filters ! (even if they are only 12db)
Waldorf's customer service has always been ...very fast for me !

Cons:
No 24db or comb filter.
No global filter.
No built in sequencer.
Presets are almost non existent in the user/3rd party world (but it dose come with many).

But to be fair ...all of these are wants not defects or oversights .


Bottom line : if you need a 909,808, cr77, Simmons, etc. and you tire of static samples this is your groove box .
H377 I've made entire tracks with it alone (as the only generator).
