This is the new factory default bank of OP-X PRO-3 featuring 128 chosen patches taken from all over the library giving sort of an impression of the general sound and features of the synth.
Demo Clips:
Patches Demo Video
This was the factory default soundset of OP-X PRO-II which the synths always started with after new instatiation. It's 128 chosen patches taken from various banks which tries to give an impression of what the synth can do.
This original OP-X PRO-II factory default bank also is available in the "B ---- opxpro2 lib ----" section as "B_Defaultbank".
There are countless demos for the default soundset. We just chose a few of them for this info page.

This is the new "best of" famous 80s bank of OP-X PRO-II featuring 128 chosen famous 80s sounds.
Note that there are a lot more famous 80s sounds available down in the "F ---- famous A-Z ----" section which offers a total of 475 alphabetically sorted famous 80s patches.
Even more famous 80s sound packs can be downloaded on the new sounds site page.

This bank contains 128 new presets released with OP-X PRO-3. Note that these are just an initial new presets collection. Many more new presets (more than 400) can be downloaded on the new sounds site.
Demo Clips:
No dedicazed clips here. Several of these new presets are feature in the 1_DEFAULTBANK, so check the clips there.
This section incudes often used stuff like your saved preset, your favourites, added new patches (reloads) and a function to search the entire library.
This is the place your saved presets go in by default.
To save an edited presets first on type in a new suitable^name in the patch name text field at the top left, hit enter to confirm, and then click on the "SAVE" button in the synth's top-bar below "PRESETS". The saved file name defaults to what you typed in in the preset name field before. The preset name displayed in the preset name field in the synth's top-bar other than in OP-X PRO-II always is the same as the file name.
By default the saved presets are sorted alphabetically. But by activating the RFR button in the synth's top-bar you can make them be sorted by save date - one click newest at the bottom, another click newest at the top.
In the menu on the right you can set a category for newly saved presets by slecting "SET" which lists all not yet categorized patches, select a patch to categorize, select a suitable category in the lower area in the menu, and then below EDIT select SAVE. The categorized patch then disappears in the SET list. Once you have categorized all not yet categorized patches you can go back to the nomal listing by again seleting SEARCH instead of SET at the top of the menu on the right. Now you can filter the listed patches by category on the right if wished.
Save Tutorial Part - Old non-spoken tutorial
Save Tutorial Part - New spoken tutorial (Programmer's Edition)
In here all presets you marked as favourire anywhere (by selecting the patch and click on the FAVO button in the synth's top-bar, which puts a dot in front of the patch name so that you can see that this one is marked as favourite) are listed. Note that these aren't physical presets (so you won't find anything in this physical folder, which just trihggers a function), but just links to presets that were marked as favourite anywhere in the library.
Note taht if for the first time chosen after new instantiation it can take one or two seconds to update the list since the search function has to search through more than 5'000 physical presets in the library. From then on it will be faster next time since the search relult now is in the RAM. It also will again take a bit longer when you marked a new favourite.
By activating the RFR button in the synth's top-bar you can make the preset name text field at the top left not anymore show the preset name but the name of the original bank this preset resides in. At the same time the dots in the list here disappear (does not mean anything, just an optical thing). On another ckick on RFR the dots still aren't displayed but the name field again shows the patch name.
To again remove a patch from the favourites list select it, and either click in DEL in the synth's top-bar, or on FAVO which does the same. In both cases it will ask you if you really want to remove this patch from the favourites (which also will remove the dot in front pf the preset name in the origional bank the patch resides in). Note that this doesn't delete the original patch. It just removes the "favourite" tag and so also makes it disappear of the favourites list. You also can remove the favourite tag in the original bank by selecting the patch with the dot in front and again click on FAVO. This does the same, so the dot wil disappear and the patch won't be anymore listed in 3_FAVOURITES.
In the menu on the right you can separate the favourite patches by category, so eg,g only list all favourite brasses, etc.
Favourites Tutorial Part - Old non-spoken tutorial
Favourites Tutorial Part - New spoken tutorial (Programmer's Edition)
This is the folder you put newly downloaded general (not famous) presets downloaded from the new sounds site.
The same as all folders with a menu on the right this is an infinite folder which can have more than 128 presets in it.
In the menu on the right you can separate the favourite patches by category, so eg,g only list all favourite brasses, etc.
How to place new patches - New spoken tutorial (Programmer's Edition)
This folder the same as "3_FAVOURITES" doesn't have any actualy physical presets but triggers a search function which scans the entire library and by default lists each and every preset alphabetically in one huge list. With ">>" at the end of the list and beginning at the second page with "<<" at the beginning of the list you can scroll within the listed presets.
Note taht if for the first time chosen after new instantiation it can take one or two seconds to update the list since the search function has to search through more than 5'000 physical presets in the library. From then on it will be faster next time since the search relult now is in the RAM.
There are many duplicates since one patch can reside in several different folders (banks) coming from OP-X PRO-II, and also two differet patches could have been given the same name not knowing this patch name already exists somewhere. But that's no issue since these aren't physical patches here but a list of a search result within the entire library.
In the text field at the top left which now displays "Enter Search Term..." you can type in a search expression (it's case insensitive) to search for a specific patch within the entire library including each and every folder. Search includes also the folder names, so you e.g. could make it list all famous patches anywhere available in the library by typing in "famous" (without " ") since most famous patches reside in a folder which contains "famous" in its name.
In the menu on the right you can separate all patches by categories, so e.g. select BRASS toonly list all available brasses within the whole library. You then could apply a search expression to these ones only then.
By activating the RFR button in the synth's top-bar the preset name text field at the top left not anymore shows the preset name but the name of the original bank the selected preset resides in.
You also could mark a preset as favourite within this search result. It may change the position o the search result list then, and in ist actual place in the original bank it resides in it too will receive a dot in fron then. Again. to find out in which bank this is activate RFR in the synth's top-bar which makes the preset name fiel not anymore show the preset name gut the name of the original folder the preset resides in.

Crumar Bit 99 presets collection
The Crumar BIT99 was an analog synth from the Italian company Crumar which came out in 1985. It used pitch-stable DCOs instead of VCOs and did completely withiout any knobs. Both was the new trend in 1985. A synth of the same manner (DCOs, no knobs) was the Oberheim Matrix-6. The Crumar BIT99 also was available in a rack version called BIT 01.
www.vintagesynth.com/misc/bit99.php
Since the BIT99 had velocity sensitivity it was very dynamically playable and thanks to the ability for filter self oscillation also could do some great filter-effect sounds. The best feature however was the "Double" function which made one key trigger two voices which could produce extremely fat sounds. This feature in fact inspired the "Double" preset in OP-X PRO-II's midi processor presets which does exactly this.
The presets in this bank actually were cloned from the presets of our studio BIT-99 machine. They mostly use the zero position of the beats control trimpot in the CONTROL section to emulate DCO behaviour.

B_Ckbundle | ---- opxpro2 lib ---- |
This is the original soundset of OP-X in our VM Bundle for the SM Pro Audio V-Machine hardware VST Player. This version of OP-X including the same soundset also was included in the Classic Keys Bundle (CKB) DVD for the V-Machine sold by SM Pro audio which sometimes also was bundled with the V-Machine.
When the V-Machine came out (end of 2008) OP-X PRO-II didn't exist yet, only its less capable precedessors OP-X PRO and OP-X, from which OP-X, the less cpu demanding of the two, was adapted in a special version for the V-Machine and finally found its way into the VM Bundle and into the Classic Keys Bundle.
In fact the development of the OP-X for the V-Machine was an important preliminary work regarding CPU optimization and too use of effects for the later coming OP-X PRO-II. Which also means that OP-X PRO-II can do all (and much more) that OP-X in the VM Bundle / CK Bundle could, and so can do all these patches with identical sound.
So if you somewhen should have strumbled over the VM Bundle video in youtube (which became the mostly wached V-Machine video in youtube) and liked the sounds but did not know how to re-create them without getting a V-Machine, here you go. The CK Bundle bank features the exact same sounds.

Famous 80s hits presets collection
This is the old original still rather small famous bank from OP-X PRO-II. The recreations of famous 80s hits presets it offers are said to be the best and most authentic on the market.
In all the years after the release of OP-X PRO-II many more famous 80s presets were released already for OP-X PRO-II, and later on many new were added for OP-X PRO-3, as well as new ones for OP-X PRO-3 for free download. The "1_FAMOUS" bank (3rd from top) already offers 128 chosen famous 80s presets (sort of a "best of") while the "F ---- famous A-Z ----" when you scroll alll way down offers a total of 475 alphabetically sorted famous 80s patches.

Frequency modulation presets collection
Since OP-X PRO-II can do pure sine FM like XPander and Matrix-12 it can do all kinds of two-operator FM sounds.
It's even more flexible than XPander and Matrix-12 since it offers sine waves in the oscillators and so doesn't have to sacrifice the filter for it as it was the case in XPander and Matrix-12.

Matrix-12 and Xpander inspired presets collection
Since OP-X PRO-II features morphable multimode filters, FM, extended modulation options (like panning modulation, which not even the Matrix could do) and 12 independent voices (like Matrix-12) it can do most XPander and Matrix-12 stuff with ease.
Sure, it doesn't offer the whole plentora of multiple LFOs, envelopes and modulation options. But in the real life nobody really exploited all of these modulation options anyway. Our synth offers the musically most useful of them, which allow to replicate most of the typical sounds one would relate to these late and final Oberheim synths.

Minimoog presets collection
OP-X PRO-II of course isn't a Minimoog emulation by no means, sure. But nevertheless it can emulate some of its typical sounds pretty well in our opinion. But you are the judge!
How is this possible? Well, on one hand also the Minimoog just used voltage controlled oscillators and a filter to do its sounds. The filter had its dedicated own character, sure. But the main reason for what kind of sounds the Minimoog could do was the way these basic components were aligned and how they interacted.
The famous bass sound for example was a result of the 3-oscillators-setup, the detunings between these, and the 24db filter.
OP-X PRO-II of course doesn't have a Minimoog filter and also only two oscillators per voice. BUT since the 12 voices of the synth in fact are independent mono-synths which can be arranged in almost any way, the famous 3-oscillators setting can be emulated, namely by just activating 3 voices, engaging the "Oct Up Down" preset of the chord presets, and finally activate unison with legato activated.
Regarding Minimoog sounds we especially like the sounds Manfred Mann did on "Angel Station", and too how George Duke used it, like e.g. in "Love Reborn", which we tried to emulate.
But you are the judge!

Due to switchable filter self oscillation OP-X PRO-II is capable of doing organ sounds with up to 3 partials per voice, using the filter as a third sine oscillator, and simulate leslie using pan modulation.

Some Sample & Hold type presets
The synth not only can do normal "standard" sample & hold (where noise is sampled) but also "sampled vibrato" ispired by OB-8, which samples the sine wave of the vibrato LFO (modulation).
Note that the library offers many other sample & hold type sounds in banks that were released later.
Demo Clips:

For example, the borseti selection bank too offers some excellent sample & hold patches. So this bank:

Roland SH-2000 presets collection
The Roland SH-2000 was a monophonic preset synthesizer featuring aftertouch. The synth was Roland's answer to ARP's Pro Soloist.
www.vintagesynth.com/roland/sh2000.php
The presets in this bank in fact are the original SH-2000 presets which we cloned from our own studio SH-2000.
The patches however are set up polyhonically, since they originally were programmed for the precedessors of OP-X PRO-II which didn't have the flexible voice management OP-X PRO-II offers now.
So if you want the presets act true authentically as in the original monophonic SH-2000 then deactivate all voice channels (voice mutes) except for one, activate unison, and switch on legato mode (Lega ON). Then you'll have a virtual SH-2000.
In the old days synth presets tried to replicate real instruments like tuba, violin, harmonica etc. which nowadays seems a bit laughable. Nevertheless some of these cloned the originals astonishingly well (like e.g. the Oboe), and especially the dark brass-type sounds like tuba are excellent innocent sounding synth lead sounds.
Also these presets can be a welcome base whenever you try to program a sound than has to sound like an Oboe, Tuba, etc. That's why these presets in our opinion are extremely helpful and important to have in a library.

This section lists the former reload banks (released later on) of OP-X PRO-II. Most of these already were available pre-installed in the "Downloaded" folder in the newest versions while some still had to be downloaded from the OP-X PRO-II's sound reloads site. The bank names used in here are derived from the original bank name, as example PROII_FALTERMEYER becomes D_Faltermeyer here.

During the time this session contaning 8 instances of OP-X PRO-II for all sounds has become our main testing session to check out how the synth performs in various different sequencers.
You can download the session ready to play for various mac and windows sequencers here:
This bank includes the patches used in the "Platinum Bank Song" which was a test song using 21 instances of OP-X PRO-II for all sounds including drums to test CPU performance.
It mainly features patches from the "Platinum" bank (PROII_PLATINUM in "Downloaded") and patches from the "Drums" bank (PROII_DRUMS) to do the drums purely synth-based.
Check out the lead sound! It's probably the most powerful and cutting lead patch in the entire library, which breaks through walls!

This section has a collection of 475 alphabetically sorted famous 80s (but also some 70s and 90s) patches distributed to four banks. These in fact also include all sounds from the 1_FAMOUS bank ("best of" collection) and the old B_Famous bank from OP-X PRO-II, but the patches sometimes named differently including band name and patch name to fit in correctly in the alphabetic list.
On the new sounds site even more famous 80s sounds can be downloaded which then will be placed in a new separate folder provided in the first famous reload package.
This first bank includes the patches from A to G.
The first part always is the band name, then the song name.

This section shows the two types of folders you can use as a user if you create own folders (not needed however, but you can if you want) if you want to customize the library to your own liking e.g. with own featured patches collections outside the 2_SAVED folder.
Read the text on the right side.
A normal folder (derived from the OP-X PRO-II banks) doesn't have a menu on the right and can have a maximum of 128 presets in it (if there's more in it only 128 will be shown). By default patches show alphabetically, but using a #001 #002 #003 etc. (always folloowed by a blank character/space) prefix in front of the patch name you can make the patches to be in any order you like. The #001 #002 #003 etc. prefixes will be hidden in the actual presets view in the browser. Check the normal banks like 1_DEFAULTBANK as example.
Tutorial explanation:
Folder Structure and patches order prefixes
Folder Types explained
Read the text on the right side.
When you include _EE_ in the folder name the folder turns to an unlimited folder (so can have more than 128 presets) with a menu on the right which allows for categorizing patches and also for separation by stamped category. In this type of folder patches always are sorted alphabetically, so can't have a custom order set by prefixes.
