These sounds were so accurate that when the player's timing was slightly different it's almost jarring, cos you feel like you're listening to the record. 👍
4:34 Oh I love Save a prayer… in fact there are so many wonderful snips from the 80s … what a great era that was
The only demo video that has had me immediately go and buy the software, instantly happy with my decision to buy this :D
the fact that you can actually play really good makes these videos so more enjoyable for us :)
As soon as you started with The Camera Eye, it took me back to 1981 instantly. A lot of good times listening to this fantastic album!
100%
A lot of super baked time listening to this album lol😊
I have to say great job for emulating all those sounds so well!
All synths in one softsynth, incredible, The first O-PX was ground breaking and I still use it, but this overhaul is mindblowing.
I'm in exactly the right mood to sit through this whole thing (preset scroll videos aren't usually my thing), and your corrected presets have quickly become the best part of it all.
50 minutes of 80s synth is still better than everything from 2010 to 2024.
Some of these songs can only be found on the way back... get the .wav files before the disappear. :o
Do not hate on one of the peak eras of music (2010-2015).
Man has not heard to Pimp a butterfly
I love 80's also, but I wasn't deaf from 2010-2024
This is so true
@@sowth_music 2010-2015 might have been a peak area in music, but not in any country I know. It was a desert wasteland in the US.
I had OP-x Pro II and loved it, but when I saw this video I went and upgraded to OP-X Pro 3. It's amazing, all the Pink Floyd and Van Halen were the kicker for me, but all of them sound amazing! Great work Sonic Projects!
So when you buy OP-X Pro 3, all these banks are included?
Out of all the soft synths on the market Sonic Projects stands above in its on lane .. simply incredible after all these years
This is great! I think showing how to play the various songs as well as showing the sound capabilities of the OP-X Pro 3 is a great idea. This will definitely encourage more people to buy your product. Keep up the good work!
The Queen I want to break free solo is pure class.
Fantastic keyboard craft !!
Thank you Sonic Projects, many of us are not synth programmers, but love to have the ability to thinker with it. Great patches. This is the way it's done. Great product, great patches, great sounds, ability to customize, tweak and create new sounds and of course great demo from a great player. Will buy immediately!
38:24 the Pink Floyd patches are fantastic!!! Especially the Any Color one!
I jammed along the original track with this patch and it's an absolute revelation!
No mistake. the best instrument here is your mind. incredible to be able to play all of these, so much experience. i wish i had the ability to do this.
4:29 oh wow. I heard this exact pattern and synth on “The Salmon dance (Labrat remix)” chemical brothers.
Wow, spot on replication! This is the video I didn't know I needed to watch today...at 4:30AM
Same at 3:30am 😂
I never ever would have processed it this way, but the second you hit that chord with 'Pink Flo Th Thin Sweep', my brain shorted out and matched it with Be Near Me by ABC. It's not identical, but they have enough sonic commonalities that I jumped to the wrong song. LOL
One of the most slept on soft-synths of all time. I tell people about it all the time.
what would be an amazing addition to this would be if we could request "Famous sounds" and buy the patches.
Damn, memories. Loved that you did Rush early and I was just grooving along. But when you did On the Run, that just blew my mind! 🤘🤘
This must have taken god knows how long to put together. So many familiar sounds. Thanks for doing this.
I agree' lot's of hard work. It's amazing.
So you can just play everything? That must be fun. Inspiring.
I can see myself drowning in caffeine as I stay up days on end going through each sound, dying a happy person of lack of sleep :) Amazing promotion even though it's not, but fantastic it is! Thank you
Just awesome, and let's not forget, you're one incredibly talented player ! That Vangelis Blade Runner ending, wow ! 👍
excellent work, especially Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds--it was a shock not hearing the vocals with that
Love how All The Things She Said is just thrown in 😂. Sounds great! Just didn’t expect it since it’s not an 80’s track.
2002 🤣
@@recoveryguru Trevor Horn was behind this, THE master of the 80s productions and sounds
At last, a keyboard free synth! Omg, all those yeas terrorized by looking at unnecessary keys! The programmers not even being polite enough to make the keyboard invisible, at least when its needed or should I say not needed! I cant express my frustration towards this enough! You are on the path SonicProjects! others can learn from this! And btw, a very nice sounding and looking synth you guys made, makes!
I've been using sonic projects obx pro for a while. it's good to see an upgrade. Thanks 🎉🎉🎉
Still a very worthy purchase above so many over-hyped VA plugins on the market today. 46:50 even though the original was a memory Moog OP-X nails the sound I've listened to for many years.
Very Very cool thanks for having Rush on there, You nailed most some were very close, Great job
This been my dream plugin since a decade ago, I’m definitely buying this now.
You sent me right back to a song I have not heard since on the radio in the 80s
Life Is For Living - Barclay James Harvest
Thank you ❤
BRAVO… I wish more synth demos would just go through presets. The great playing on top is a bonus.
That Duran Prayer though! I just zoomed back to the best decade in history! Thanks for this!
you have a brilliant memory / muscle memory to recall all those riffs, respect man :)
I love this product! Just bought it yesterday! Sounds great! Love the 80's sounds. 😀
really enjoyed this demo. Great playing and patch programming.
This is what I forgot to buy hahah thanks for uploading this video I knew I was missing another vst
Fantastic love this VST, one of the Best!!! and I have nearly everything out there!!
So much work done! This is phenomenal! Btw, my favorite 80s sound is this one 47:28 =)
Sounds like T. a. t. u. - All the things she said
I enjoyed this so much more than I expected hahaha😁
Tremendous work.. very cool!!! Of course now I am driven to go make a playlist with all of these - because these earworm teases are driving me nuts…. :)
wow. this is a fun "name that tune" kinda vid. some are definitely harder as they don't exactly match the recording, but I love it.
Fabulous video! Have this synth, amazing it is. Your video is incredible, huge effort has gone into creating this! mark / Edited to add I cannot think of another patch video where I have sat and watched 50 odd mins of patch playing. The actual playing is fantastic, but so is the synth. What a combination!
Love the OP-X Pro! I've used it on covers of Lucky Man and Africa. Sounds great!
1st class🏆
The Sounds, the playing…
All superb❤❤❤
Damn, this sounds good! So we're finally there.
This one sings. It's got that certain something, that still was missing in the older plugins.
Thank it for showing all these sounds !! I have this program and so glad to see so many Rush sounds that I may not have known about plus so many others
RUSH being one of my all time favorite bands - you had me at the intro mate
Never realized Rush did "Babe", always thought it was Styx lol! Impressive group of synth patches, basically sums up my music collection.
Rush did not do Babe, it was Styx....
@@DrGargani I realize that, I was being sarcastic. Look in the song list, it has “Rush Babe solo”
Excellent vid mate. You have inspired me to fire up my Arturia! Many thanks.
This is great, as a guy that has a lot of old and new analog synths I still like hearing the real thing but am impressed what VSTs can do these days. I do have Spitfire for orchestral stuff
This is so cool. Amazing Synth, amazing playing skills. Wow. 🎉
That's coolest thing since the shirt pocket. Sounds were spot on.
Amazing demonstration! Thank you.
Well done. Great synth, patch programming and playing!
This was a real treat - a walkthrough of so many iconic sounds! The only ones I didn't think were spot-on sound-wise were The Final Countdown (the attack was too slow perhaps) and the Berlin bassline (not sure about that one). Although there were a few I wasn't familiar with most are stored indefinitely in my chemical-memory....
Cool presentation that I’ve never really considered. Crazy how our brains re like super computers that never forget a BYTE😁
This is the BEST synth remake of Pink Floyd "On The Run" I've heard!
Yes, but honorable mention is very old program by Daniel Fisher from Sweetwater created on Kurzweil K2000.
Totally agree
cool, someone plays the sound with the right songs... saved this for later research
It's at a million views now. Well deserved.
Hello @SonicProjects
It would be a nice feature if we could use the cursor/arrow-keys in the preset browser.
Interesting. And 90% of the patches played here were not originally played using an Oberheim synthesizer. Frankly almost none of them. This definitely seems like a Swiss Army knife of an 80s synthesizer!
That is great. Im new to the keyboard so any help is appreciated. Those are all the songs Id love to have on my keyboard. This project must have taken a long time to get it right. Bravo.
OMG! I totally forgot about this beauty! I just found a registration email from 2006!! It sounds awesome!
instant buy , sounds awesome!!
Damn - you got it all figured out! Impressive.
Wow, this is worth it just for all these presets! Great job on those!
No way. The greatest sounding synth VST ever has an upgrade? The original sounds more analog than any modern one. This is exciting!
It’s almost like soothing ASMR for 80s pop music lovers. Ahhh…
jeeze some of these sounds are otherworldly... mesmerizing!
Excellent super patch demo! The lucky man patch was pretty foolproof!
The big problem here is this just makes me want the whole of each song. Haha. Thanks, very cool.
I really would love the keyboard view re-implemented. It makes me feel like I'm actually playing an OB.
Great what you can do with this instrument - know them all, those songs - and a Wakeman minimoog!
Congratulations SONIC PROJECT for bringing the solo and timbre of the song GIMMIE GIMMIE, I didn't know it was from OP X PRO 3. I like the video
interesting trivia factoid: Pat Leonard used an actual Fender Rhodes with chorus in the intro for Holiday. :) this sound is a very good approximation!
Might buy this, sounds brilliant. Defo need some 80s synth vibes in my tracks
Ah I miss the 80's. I was fortunate to be a preteen right when all this great stuff started coming out. Incredible music came out of that decade. Loved the Rush! 44:16 might want to fix the title on this one :)
I 🩷 80’s music and keyboards. Thanks for sharing!!
It's even better if you've known the songs since they came out. Nice flashbacks ❤ PS you could and should do some more compilations of 80s sounds. There are so many more legends SO MANY MORE 🙏
Super interesting VST, gonna definitely get my hands onto this for a review :)
Most were really spot on! So much so I could tell you were playing off rhythm so your video didn’t get copywrite checked. Great job!
Proud owner of OP-X PRO 3.
We got the same keyboard ... X board 61, legend...
I am more of an artist so I make mostly my own sounds. So I went with GForce Ob x because it is more user-friendly and has Oberheim endorsed original sounds. However if you are more of a DJ that just uses presets and don't care about creating your own sounds then I would definitely go with the Pro 3. The Pro 3s 80s band reenactment presets are so good I might eventually pick this synth up just because of that.

Awesome - fantastic work!
The best emulations from classics hits I've heard, even over real synths! Congrats! Q.: Can play these full bank on my old version 2? Thanks again.
SonicProjects, Love thr 80s synth sounds! Make more😊😁
Wow 😲 I want one, fricken awesome! You gotta love the synthesizer! Thank you Bob Moog 🌴🌴
30:45 The last part of Pink Floyd Shine on you crazy diamond is not often played, but it's the deepest in my opinion, very happy to hear the sound. Thanks 👍
This guy is the keyboardist that ever high-end cover band wants to hire.
The synth riff in New Order's Age of Consent has always been a quintessential 80's sound to me.
Wow, the memories. I wish i could play. I have all the software and some gear, but no ear for music At All!
Thanks for the memories.
Amazing!! Buyed! More Vangelis sound please!! 😁
These are fantastic sounds - Axel-F isamazing, and the Queen ones are perfect - wow. !
Just subscribed too - would love to see more of this !
All those presets brings back memories. 🤗☺️
Ótimo trabalho !!!
Tantos sons que fizeram e ainda fazem parte do meu gosto musical wow 👍🏻
🤝👏👏👏
