Oberheim Digital: OP-X and V-Machine

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

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.

What is your opinion about emu ? Cause I am looking forward to buy that

[virtualoberheim]

@ex0dus696 I really can recommend it, depending on what you need; good keyboard and knobs, lightweight but nevertheless robust, plus handy direct program access buttons; the only negative point to me was that the aftertouch was set much too light (so that you access it all the time while normal playing), but fortunately it can be adjusted to your liking in a sub-menu

[Petersen817]

Nice! Are you satisfied with the emu?

[virtualoberheim]

sure :-)

[oysterlovers]

amazing - but couldn't you just use the e-mu controls in the same way?

[virtualoberheim]

Yes, this works too of course, but they are no endless rotaries that are able to update to the new values on every preset change, which can cause value jumps (when the position of the control differs from the actual value) - plus there are only 16 knobs, while BCR2000 has 24 + 32 (4 groups à 8) = 56 knobs, and 20 + 32 (4x8 knob push function) = 52 buttons; so there really is one control for each parameter (OP-X has 83 parameters)

I hear slews of Ulrich Schnauss, especially in the end.

Hello, I have a problem ..... when I import the dll file that makes beeping that lasts two seconds and there is no sound .... but it does not with the factory presets ..... thank you for helping me

[SparkySubie]

Hey, I noticed your LED display is red. Is that a mod you did? Or does it come like that out of the box. I could have sworn it was supposed to be blue.

[gunsmoke83460]

When I connect my USB key in v machine .... it does not recognize the card ... or rather, nothing happens .... it must have the plugins in or not .... I got to put them on VFX but not in the v machine ..... and how to make the update as well ... thank you in advance .... I am on Windows XP

[AORNOfficial]
