SonicProjects OP-X PRO software synth featuring the Separate Voice Design (SVD) modeling technology compared to an Oberheim OB-X

To verify the showed comparison demos you can download the used patches in fxb bank format here:

Demo version of OP-X PRO:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro/de...

You will notice that the sound of course is much better without the youtube compression. If you want to exactly recreate the examples you also need to play the same voices, which can be recognized by their panorama setting

To keep everything uncolored and clean for a real 1:1 comparison the stereo outputs of OB-X were recorded directly to daw using an apogee converter. OP-X PRO was rendered directly to harddisk as well.

Furthermore all voices of OP-X PRO before were calibrated to the exact same settings (pan, filter cutoff) as the corresponding voices (6 as well) in the hardware device. With a few exeptions always the same voices were compared by always starting at the same voice position in the circular allocation, which might sometimes give the impression that the same audio file was used. But if you listen very carefully there still can be noticed tiny differences. OB-X generally is a tad bit slimmer and brighter sounding with more weight in the heights and less in the mids while OP-X PRO is a bit darker and has more weight in the mids.

Separate Voice Design (SVD):
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/obx/separ...

This modeling technology used by OP-X PRO is based on completely independent voices with separate signal path and slightly differend sound, as it is the case too in voltage controlled polyphonic analog synths which in fact are based on separate monosynths that are globally controlled. Other than real synths OP-X PRO allows to globally activate and deactivate the detunings of individual parameter groups on demand as well as fine tuning them for each voice separatly with virtual trimpots. This allows for a wide palette of colors between completely "pissed off" and tight and precise. This allows to recreate the character of different synths or to copy the voice settings and character of one specific device in its current state, as it has been done in this video.

The detunings of the following parameter groups can be independently activated and deactivated as well as tuned in detail per voice:

- oscillator pitch
- filter cutoffs
- filter envelope times
- portamento times

All settings of course can be saved with the preset. Have a look at the video to learn what impact those fine tunings can have on the general character of the sound."

Oberheim OB-X vs. V-Machine (OP-X)


Oberheim Digital: OP-X and V-Machine


"SonicProjects VM Bundle hosted by the SM Pro Audio V-Machine. Playing some presets of OP-X while tweaking parameters with an external controller device.

The masterkeyboard is an EMU X-Board 61 and the controller device a Behringer BCR2000. Both are connected by USB cable to the V-Machine.

Combined with the pre-mapped banks and the custom sysex preset of the included BCR2000 toolkit BCR2000 allows to remotely control every single parameter of OP-X (83 in total).

With MIDI feedback activated in the V-Machine the controls on the BCR automatically update to the settings of the new preset on preset change which allows for value jump free parameter control.

This setup can serve as a complete replacement of a real analog hardware synth offering digital reliability and great transportability without missing the beloved fat and organic sound.

The used presets are:
01 - Jump!
02 - OB-Xa SyncSolo
03 - Shine On Solo
59 - SEM Upsweep
55 - OB Sustained Strings

To know which parameter is mapped to which control the included BCR2000 Toolkit contains handy printable mapping templates."

V-Machine: SonicProjects VM Bundle


"The VM Bundle was exclusively made for the SM Pro Audio V-Machine, the V-Rack and VFX Mac and PC, with a lot of adaptations and optimizations... The Korg DW-8000 is only used as a midi master keyboard. All sounds you can hear is what comes out of the stereo line outputs of the V-Machine, with no further processing. Presets are either switched manually directly on the V-Machine or by midi remote program change from the master keyboard's preset changer."

SonicProjecs V-Machine Bundle with BCR2000

YouTube via virtualoberheim
"http://www.sonicprojects.ch/vmbundle/

Playing and tweaking sounds with the following setup:

- SM Pro Audio V-Machine
- SonicProjects VM Bundle
- Behringer BCR2000
- Korg DW8000 (only used as master keyboard)

Have a look at the used controller templates:

OP-X:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/vmbundle/...

Stringer:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/vmbundle/...

The master keyboard (Korg DW8000) is connected by MIDI cable to the V-Machine. The Behringer BCR2000 controller is connected by USB cable to the V-Machine (which offers two USB connectors). The SonicProjects VM Bundle is installed on the V-Machine and produces the sound including effects. The line outputs of the V-Machine are directly connected to an amplifier (using the green jack cables) which drives a pair of Yamaha NS-10 speakers. The audio of the video was recorded with the integrated room microphone of the video cam.

The installed SonicProjects VM Bundle is a bundle of adapted versions of OP-X (a virtual analog synth), Stringer (a sample based vintage string machine emulator), two custom made effect plugins (reverb and delay) as well as two banks with many ready to play presets in VFX format.

The VM Bundle also contains a BCR2000 toolkit that offers a custom sysex preset for the BCR2000 that matches the pre-mapped versions of the banks. After loading the sysex preset from a MIDI sequencer into the BCR2000 the setup can be immediatly used and offers a knob or button for every single parameter of OP-X and Stringer without the need of manual configuration. The BCR2000 toolkit also includes two printable templates that show which parameter is mapped to which BCR control.

This setup can serve as a complete hardware synth replacement and allows for tweaking and programming sounds as it used to be in former days, with a hardware control for each single function.

Furthermore - and this is even better than in a normal analog synth with knobs - the knobs and buttons on BCR2000 update automatically to the values of the new presets on preset change using MIDI feedback (has to be activated in the V-Machine before). This allows for tweaking parameters without annoying value jumps.

So this setup is a real dream offering immediate playing and tweaking fun which a usual pc/mouse setup is far away from. It's also a great leightweight and cheap solution for the stage.

This video is also available in a long version where in the intro is shown how to load the sysex preset into the BCR2000:

Update: Some notes via http://www.sonicprojects.ch:
"Various methods have been used in the plugins world to copy analog behaviour. SonicProjects has made a new and different approach. By extensive exploring of the real device it became obvious that a big part of the organic feeling comes from the minor differences in sound between the voices. This has nothing to to with random behaviour but with device tolerances and slightly different trimpot settings. SonicProjects has implemented this behaviour into the virtual device. Each voice is a separate mono synth with independent signal path and comprehensive global tuning options."

SonicProjects Stringer - ARP Omni, Logan, Solina

YouTube via virtualoberheim
"http://www.sonicprojects.ch/stringer/

Already quite an old video, now finally provided on youtube too. All sounds in the video are coming from the SonicProjects Stringer.

Stringer was released in September 2006.

SonicProjects Stringer is a VSTi plugin for windows that provides top quality samplesets of the following 3 string machines:

- ARP Omni 2 ( the successor of Solina )
- Logan String Melody II
- Welson Symphony

You can get more informations about these machines here:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/stringer/...

Each of these machines has its own distinct sound. The three different characters complement each other very well:

ARP Omni 2:
Clear, shining, shimmering

Logan String Melody II:
Fat, warm, organic, middy

Weson Symphony:
Balanced, restrained, smooth

The goal was to achieve the highest audio quality possible in order to leave the original sound untouched. That's why only highend equipment and a reference wordclock were used to sample every single key of the machines at 24 bit resolution. The 241 samples were then restaurated and cleaned from hum and noise. To preserve the original movements within the sound the loop points were searched manually according to the natural "loops" caused by beats which resulted in loop lenghts up to 4 seconds. With this method the looped sampled tone can't be distinguished from the original and there are no noteiceable loop points. A lot of work, but worthy to capture those really glorious sounding machines with the original character leaving untouched.

You can listen to clips in better audio quality than youtube and in stereo here:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/stringer/...

There are two engines that allow to layer and split two sounds, tune and pan them, and change the attack and release times. The two engines even can be sent to individual stereo outs on demand for separate external processing.

The samples are completely loaded into the RAM (140mb), no disk streaming needed. This means: Compact and easy on CPU. Available for Receptor too with free crossgrade from the PC version.

Note that there are also a few other string machine emulating plugins containing "Stringer" in their names:
- Falkelab Stringer
- Numerikart Stringy Stringazoide Stringer
- Easytoolz easy-mr.stringer"

SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II: Official Tutorial

"https://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro2/...

This is the new official tutorial for SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II which covers everything you need to know in one huge 9h video.

Such a tutorial has been requested by many of you for a long time, so we took the time & effort to do it.

You don't like reading manuals? Then watch this video instead in which we explain everything you need to know about the synth.

To navigate within the Tutorial either click these time markers or use the YouTube generated chapter sections in the timeline of the video.

We did not expect this tutorial to become this long, but this obviously is the time it takes to explain each and every feature the synth offers which are endlessly many.

The synth offers a total of 142 parameters from which several even are mapped into presets, and this on one single page.

This on one hand may make it difficult to operate the synth without any knowledge in all its details, but once you know how things work you'll be able to edit and program very fastly and intuitively.

In this tutorial we not only cover all the features but also talk about and demo the included banks library in the last part of the video.

We recorded 8 hours of this video in one single take and then just added some things we forgot on the next day, which makes the video easily watchable in one take if you have some time to do so (we did it too for supervising!) and it won't be overly tiring. Of course you also can only watch parts of it or in daily portions. It's all up to you.

Such a tutorial has been requested by many for years and so we finally took the effort to do it."

SonicProjects OP-X with Behringer BCR2000

YouTube via virtualoberheim. I've spent considerable time with an OB-Xa, not the OB-X. That said, its amazing how close this sounds. They nailed that Oberheim sound.
"http://www.sonicprojects.ch/

SonicProjects OP-X software VSTi synth played like a real hardware synth with a Korg DW-8000 as masterkeyboard (for midi notes and program changes) and a Behringer BCR2000 to remotely control its parameters (using midi CC).

Due to the ability of OP-X for parameter feedback OP-X and the BCR are completely linked (two ways). OP-X sends a complete cc dump on program change which updates all parameters on the BCR to the values of the new preset. This allows for completely jump free operation. When you tweak a control in the software OP-X the dedicated control on the BCR does change accordingly, and of course also vice versa.

OP-X runs within Cubase SX with some TC Native Reverb and Cubase Double Delay added as send effects. The played patches are all factory presets.

To make the feedback work you must route the midi out of OP-X back to the controller device. In Cubase this can be done using a separate midi track for the back-routing (1st track: in = midi keyboard & bcr2000, the best choose "all", out = OP-X; 2nd track: in = OP-X, out = bcr2000). In more simple hosts like e.g. MiniHost just activate the needed devices in the MIDI input output mangement.

Needed versions for the parameter feedback feature:
OP-X: Version 2.1
OP-X PRO: Version 1.2

The feedback feature won't work with any previous versions.

You can also watch the video in high quality with stereo audio which also works well for full screen watching. Just click the blue link at the bottom right of the video.

Unfortunately there are a lot of really bad compression artefacts in the audio stream, especially in the high quality stereo mode (strings, brass, deep basses, minimoog). They sound like bad distortions, which in fact are not there in the real audio coming out of the synth. Try to think them away. The real sound is one hundred times smoother, cleaner and bigger.
