That OP-X sounds pretty convincing.Of course, the real synth benefits from having an actual pre-amp, that you can push to get a slightly compressed, meatier sound. Nothing you couldn't help with some good compression on the OP-X output.
@gunsmoke83460 Do you own the VM Bundle? This is the only way to use the sounds in the V-Machine. Just follow the instructions in the installation guide. The sounds too will be included in the Classic Keys Bundle which will be released very soon. This will also contain other synths like Minimonsta, PPG Wave, VSM and further ones
Not enough difference between the two for me to lay down a wad of cash on the hardware. If I close my eyes then I am completely fooled and the guy on the street would be too. In reality the original might be slightly warmer and smoother but I bet the hardware owners are gutted that the software is jawdroppingly close and that even they could be fooled into believing they are hearing the real thing. Amazing job by SonicProjects, just admit it guys, give credit where it is due.
I love both the real OP-X and the VST. They do sound a little different to me though. The VST seems to have less bottom end in my opinion than the real OP-X. It's like the VST has a high pass filter on it. I would be curious to know if anyone else thinks the same.
Be aware that this might have to do with the completely different D/A-converters that were used; OB-X in this video was recorded directly over a highend Apogee Rosetta converter while the audio of the VSTi firstly comes over the V-Machines internal audio out which is by no means comparable to a high end converter like Apogee (which costs several times the V-Machine itself) and is not as full in the bass. If you want to have full frequency range use an upper class converter with a stable clock.
VOBERHEIM> how is the v-machine handling for you? have you tried native instruments FM8 yet? i would love one of these but need to know how they are as ive heard of it being buggy and unreliable in live situations.
BTW i dont get why people who cant buy or get thier hands on an OB-X waste thier time comparing and downing a nice/ familiar sounding cheap vst that does its job for any writing/performing musician who could create amazing things with it while they save up or whatever for an OB-X
These are the original wood sides, I've never bought separate ones; it's dark brown wood with a black plastic strip wrapping around; I've seen a guy once who sells replacement wood sides on ebay, you may check this out
that was awesome. thank you for posting

I'm impressed, really.

I think the VST sounds thinner and sharp when compared. There are a lot more overtones, bottom and colour in the hardware than in the Vst.

That's perfectly logical. Well explained, and thanks for the great info.

Polysynthsounds hide the sonic shortcomings of the V-Machine very well. 1:33 shows a huge difference!

Having just spent $90 on pants, I'm not sure if i can justify not having this. My wife is going to kill me.

Hey Ive got an OBX and the wood side pieces are beat to hell. Did you custom make those or buy them. Mine have a rubber strip wrapping around them.
