      Can you be precise about what is exceptional for you? And did you compare to the hardware? Do you own me analog synths? Thank you.

      ​@@koncreteto2758 All the new GForce plugins have resizable UI - a big deal if you have a 4K or larger screen, since the impOSCar 2 UI is small even when "large." Also, the new GForce patch browser is top-tier for easier navigation. I think impOSCar 2 could benefit from the other UI / UX improvements GForce have implemented in newer products. A right-click waveform selection menu would be lovely, for example.

    Top notch design. For a start it is easy to understand and navigate, extremely important for user adoption. The sound is incredibly alive with an awesome filter. I cannot compare to an hardware version, but I can compare to other plugins. This one has that extra edge that you feel when listening to vynil records versus CDs. It also compares well next to a hardware Prophet 6, and in the mix I will say that it is just perfect. Again, from a end user perspective it delivers extremely good value, and at this price point it is a no brainer to purchase. Many thanks for delivering another great product!

    Yeah,, I bought GForce OB-X on first site. I have all the GForce stuff and watch all their historic videos.
    Will I get rid of my OB-X8? No. I like stuff and Nostalgia. I was also lucky to get to meet Tom and Marcus. So sad Dave Smith had to leave too early.

      OB-X supports polyphonic aftertouch and polyphonic pitchbend per note. In this way, it's great with a number of MPE controllers. Especailly tested with ROLIs and Osmose. It does not have per-voice CC control however, so cannot claim full MPE compatibility. We are looking into that for future updates.
