8 Voices of Legends
What occurs should you take 8 monophonic synthesizers and use them collectively? Large analog sound! This sound is the results of small imperfections between every voice card, and as a result of (incorrect) conduct of some digital elements, components of the unique circuit (OB-X specifically) induced all kinds of distortion occurring at totally different phases from filter to VCA and likewise within the output stage OB-Xtreme paid explicit consideration to the latter, with an emphasis on “Growl”.
You may speak rather a lot about what V2 is, I can already say what it isn’t: a easy cross-platform replace of V1. V2 is a whole redesign, whereas OB-Xtreme V1 was an easier model of OB’s voice card structure, V2 is extra intently aligned with the unique OB design and specs (together with OB-X, OB-Xa, and many others. options). a direct alternative for the V1, nevertheless, it acquired a Legacy mode for envelope turbines and filter controls, so V1 sounds may be performed or created (extra on that later).
V2 has greater specs in each a part of the circuit, that is an improve present for all V1 house owners, V1 house owners can improve at no cost or use the “give what you need” possibility.
64-bit construct utilizing the newest OS and IDE (PC VisualStudio and Mac Xcode).
The up to date GUI (GUI) additionally now makes use of excessive decision graphics and DPI consciousness.
Rewritten and improved sound engine.
An 8-voice polyphonic or monophonic unison with per-voice PAN management and international stereo growth management can be transformed to true (one voice) mono or act as a polyphonic unison (8×8).
Added a lot of the OB-X/OB-Xa options (OSC, X-MOD, F-ENV, SYNC, and many others. varieties) on prime of the brand new modulation routing.
Prolonged vary of oscillators and filtering modes (2Pole/4Pole LowPass and 2Pole BandPass) primarily based on OB 2pole SVF and CEM 3320 24Db, 4Pole can have extra loudness compensation.
Correct SAW + PULSE OSC (can produce +1 octave harmonics relying on pulse width).
Resampling to x32.
POST and PRE OTA (CA3080 chip used for VCA, filter and output stage) with variable distortion (Xtreme issue) bypassed.
The voltage offset and voltage deflection of the x8 voice playing cards can now be simply managed with seven macro controls, non-compulsory random unfold and real-time deflection (per notice).
Legacy modes for filter modulation and EG/VCA shapes to match V1 sounds and conduct if desired, default envelope/VCA conduct is a mix of CEM3310/CA3080 (linear VCA and exponential envelopes), whereas legacy mode can be utilized to sooner sounds (utilizing the Extremely exp VCA response).
LFO vibrato, authentic LFO + extra LFO 2, part reverse mode for LFO 1 and 2 (maps 1,3,5,7) acquired reverse part modulation, key monitoring can be inverted.
LFOs have a gate re-trigger possibility, SINE, RAMP, PULSE, SAW, TRI, S&H and Noise shapes, LFO2 may be synced to BPM or act as a single ramp (up or down) envelope.
The LFO may be configured to be single: one LFO on the principle board for all voice playing cards, or a number of: one LFO per card.
Non-obligatory 6-bit OB-X decision when scanning the Cutoff filter knob.
The maintain pedal can function usually or use the managed Envelope Launch in OB mode (piano-like maintain).
(Mac) Introducing new signed and notarized Mac installers.
Primary built-in preset browser with essential classes.
Changeable OB-X (gentle mode) or OB-Xa (darkish mode) skins.
