    Dope synth

    I’m not entirely a synthesizer expert, but I know enough to realize that the capabilities of Opal far exceed my current abilities at using it. But even at my more intermediate level I can realize that the simplicity of the UI and presets allow for some seriously useful stuff out of the box, while the in depth controls like the modulation matrix allow a ton of customization and new sound options. I’d love to see what I could do with some more external midi control knobs! The applications seem endless! Overall, it sounds sick. I love it and can’t wait to throw it in my tracks! If you want a real-sounding soft synth, I wouldn’t hesitate on Opal!

    Sounds beatiful, a lot to be explored and found

    Great instrument with lots of features. For my kind of sound explorer in the beginning of the whole journey, it takes some time to study them all but the results sound very rewarding. Nice set of presets, too, to speed to your things up.

    Flagship indeed

    To my ears, this is one of the very few soft synths that sound real and alive with a tangible presence. I welcome its feature limitations (when compared to other wavetable-style plugins) because it feels like it was intentionally designed as a coherent instrument with personality and tons of sweet spots, rather than a competition entry for most bells and whistles. The effects and the presets deserve extra mention. I hope it will support MPE eventually, that would make it a 6-star flagship. Only 5 stars for now, sorry..
