Why buy
You want to try out and use the separate voice design synthesis without any budget. OP-X FREE gives you a small selection of great original OP-X sounds for free. If you need more sounds and automation you can upgrade to OP-X PLAYER for a very cheap price which will give you instant access to the whole OP-X library containing more than 500 of the finest patches.
You are looking for the cheapest way to play and use all those great OP-X sounds. You are more of a preset user and hardly ever do any deep editing or create own patches from scratch. You are looking for a great sounding general purpose collection of classic analog sounds of the highest available quality. OP-X PLAYER gives you one of the greatest sounding and most useful set of analog sounds available which covers all classic genres from Obie over Minimoog, Prophet, Jupiter, Strings, Brasses, Solos, Basses, fully extendable with masses of existing and coming new sounds from the OP-X library at no additional cost (500 patches included). If you want to get access to all parameters you can upgrade to OP-X for a cheap price.
You are looking for an omnipotent classic polyphonic analog synth that can do the typical OB-X sounds, but also Jupiter, Prophet, Minimoog and many other ones that really have the richness and organic feeling of the originals without using any effects, all of them tweakable on a great looking and intuitive user interface. OP-X will deliver. It's one of the most flexible virtual analogsynths available that can do almoust all known classic analog sounds, no matter what brand, huge, innocent, fat, soft, warm, aggressive or clear. The patches library contains more than 500 ready to play sounds which are said to be one of the greatest and most authentic sounding available. The graphical user interface can be completely remote controlled with parameter feedback which makes it possible to use OP-X like a real analog hardware synth without the need of a computer mouse.
You like the sound of OP-X but are curious for even more features and modulation possibilities and are looking for complex XPander and SEM sounds that make use of multimode filtering. OP-X PRO gives you a great sounding dual multimode filter derived from the old SEM which allows continuous blending of modes and filter mix. You also want to have more control over the default detuning by tweaking it by yourself. OP-X PRO gives you a lot of virtual trimpots for this that allow to set up you own custom tunings. New interesting modulation options like the unique panning modulation give some extra salt and makes the patches take off. All this combined gives a tremendous and almoust endless potential for never heard sounds with an uparalleled deepness and richness. The patches library contains all former OP-X sounds ready for further tweaking and masses of new ones using the new features. As an owner of the lower version OP-X you can get OP-X PRO for a very cheap upgrade price.
