Welcome to the Sonicprojects OP-X Pro home! On this site you will get to know the classic Sonicprojects OP-X PRO. Note that OP-X PRO has been discontinued in favour of its big brother OP-X PRO-II. So this former product page only still serves for informative purpose. Mar 08, 2019 While not copying originals, some of the features were taken to a better point. Continuous blendable multimode filter (HP-Notch(BP)-HP in 12 dB mode and 4-1 pole in 24 dB mode). VAM button is last played note allocation mode. 32 and 64 bit versions included.

The Minimoog is probably the most important synth in history. It was the first compact synth which musicians could easily use on tour. Combined with an easy to use interface and warm sound it quickly became the top synth in the world. It was used in countless hits - for example in Michael Jackson’s Thriller as the bass.
I was surprised by how good Steinberg's emulation sounds. It’s a nice free alternative to Arturia’s Mini V.
Here’s the bassline from Thriller recreated in Model E:

Yamaha’s DX7 was the world’s first FM synthesizer. FM synthesis works by modulating oscillators with oscillators to create more interesting timbres. The most famous FM synth sound is probably the cheesy E-Piano sound, used in countless 80’s hits.
Dexed is a free emulation of the famous DX7. It can be tricky to figure out, but works well for the classic DX7 E-Piano sound.

Here’s a “Dexed” version of the DX7 E-Piano from Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”:
For this sound I used a stack of Dexed presets panned in different directions to get that full sound. You can get the Ableton rack with this sound in our freebies section.

The Juno-60 is one of the most famous synths which shaped pop music. Back in the 80s it won with the Korg Polysix thanks to its 56 presets bank. It has a 6 voice polyphony and produces very warm, yet “modern” sounds thanks to its DCO (Digitally Controlled Oscillators) - the Minimoog had a VCO (V for Voltage) which would cause pitch drifting at times.
The Tyrell N6 is a brilliant free plugin for classic Juno sounds.
David cook take me as i am mp3 download. For this demo I used the “TUC - Basic Boogie Bass” built-in preset along with some modwheel action.

Tip: To make this plugin look like a Juno you need to download this skin and if you’re on Mac, replace the folders in Library>Application Support>u-he>TyrellN6.
Another tip: To access the preset list click the Load button.

The Oberheim OBXa is another famous synth from the 80s, known for its fat unison option. It was a successor to Oberheim’s SEM synthesizer which wasn’t simple enough to use. With the OBXa you could easily create a supersaw - the sound used by Van Halen in “Jump” and in countless other classics.
The OB-Xd's presets sound very warm and retro. If you’re looking to throw in some 80s brass synths into your tracks, this one is for you.
To access its awesome library of presets you need to right click anywhere on the synth and select the right bank. Then, in Ableton, you choose presets from the “Preset selector” on the device (above the X-Y Pad). Once you choose a preset, you can switch between them using the down-up arrows.
For the demo I recreated the Oberheim synth sound from Van Halen’s “Jump”. I used the “BzBRS Hyper Trumpets” preset from the “Breeze_Meat-n-Potatoes rev3b-ALPHA” bank (along with some Ableton reverb). The bass is a slightly edited BzBSS Warm Jet patch from the “KVR Bass” bank.

Tip: To get the retro look of the OBXD, right click anywhere on the synth and select the “Totolitoto Classic Blue” skin.

The SH-101 was released by Roland in 1982 but lost the mainstream battle with the DX7 and got discontinued in 1986. However in the 90s the synth became popular again - it was used by artists such as Boards of Canada, Autechre, Luke Vibert or The Chemical Brothers.
The Tal-Bassline is a pretty cool little synth, but it won’t create crazy complicated bases. It’s nice for some warm pulse wave & saw wave retro patches. Unfortunately it comes with no presets and for Mac it comes as a 32-bit version only, so you're going to have to use a program like 32 Lives to use it.
Boards Of Canada famously used this synth in their track “Roygbiv”, so I recreated it using the TAL-Bassline. It’s not the same, but for a free plugin the result is nice!

Tip: The “Modulator” section is great for creating that “LFO detune” effect in the style of Boards Of Canada.

DiscoDSP released OB-Xd – a free emulation synth of the Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 synthesizers.
Oberheim OB-X Emulation Synth
From DiscoDSP:
The OB-Xd is based on the Oberheim OB-X. It attempts to recreate its sound and behaviours, but as the original was very limited in some important ways a number of things were added or altered to the original design. The OB-Xd was designed to sound as good and as rich as the original. It implements micro random detuning which is a big part of that sound. .. Like many synths of the OB-X’s generation, the OB-Xd has no internal effects so its sounds and textures can be greatly enhanced by the use of additional processing like chorus, reverb, delay, etc.
OB-Xd Oscillators
From the manual:
A mixer was introduced to blend the two oscillators and noise source which is much more flexible than the fixed levels of the original design. In the OB-X cross modulation (Frequency Modulation), OSC2 modulated OSC1. On the OB-Xd this is reversed: OSC1 modulates OSC2. Sounds created by sync and x-mod this way were judged more useful than the inharmonic results of the original modulation path. The Step switch allows for precise tuning by semi-tone steps. Note that disengaging this doesn't keep the pitch at the precise semi-tone step but resumes gradual pitch adjustment. The Bright control adjusts the clarity of higher harmonics. Detune of OSC2 only adjusts up from the basic pitch (the original was bilateral).
OB-Xd Filters
From the manual:
The original OB-X had a single 12dB/octave low-pass filter. The OB-Xd significantly improves on this design: it implements a Multimode 12dB/ octave filter like the Oberheim SEM module. Using the MULTI rotary control, you can crossfade between low-pass behavior on the complete left, to either notch (by default) or bandpass (using the BP switch) behavior at 12 o'clock, and high- pass behavior on the far right. There is also a 24dB mode which is activated by the 24dB switch. This mode is only low-pass, but the MULTI control now allows you to smoothly change the depth of the filter slope from 24dB/octave on the complete left, down to 6 dB/octave on the complete right.
How to Install
You can run the .pkg installer or:
- Drag Obxd.component into Library / Audio / Plug-Ins / Components.
- Drag Obxd.vst into Library / Audio / Plug-Ins / VST.
To install the presets, drag the 'Datsounds' folder into ~/Library/Audio/Presets/.
