I don't know why it took me so long to find out about this product just after I already spent the money on Minimonsta, but when I heard the sounds coming from OP-X I had to throw down the cash immediately. This synth is FANTASTIC. Its the near perfect 80's rock synth, but it fits many other styles as well. The SEM filter emulation is so spot on its scary. Think Rush's "Tom Sawyer". This is one of the fattest VSTi synths I have ever played, mostly due to teh way they detuned each oscilator voice individually, and in a way that is authentic to the original.
I also recently picked up MiniMonsta and IMPOscar which I also love for different reasons but I have to say the OP-X has won my heart over even both of those two well respected synths. The lead sounds are thick and ballsy. The sweeps are great. Lots of great brassy sounds.
I have never actually played an Oberheim synth, but I hear from other people who have, that this emulation is very very good. I sort of don't care whether its authentic. It sounds fat and ballsy and that's all I care about.Read Review
