Larry Shelby Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 LIMITED TIME SALE -- $24.50 -- OB-Xd is based on the Oberheim OB-X. It was designed to sound as good and as rich as the original. It implements micro random detuning which is a big part of that sound. Sale ends September 7th: https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/discodsp-ob-xd-virtual-analog-synth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rintoul Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 This one is actually available for free. It is an open source project, but the "developer" hides that fact on his website. When you buy it for $24.50 or $49.00, you are not actually buying a license to use it, you are just supporting further development. That is okay if you want to do that, but I wish the developer was more upfront about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I was trying to find what limitations are there for the free/demo versions of the various synths at discodsp but it wasn't very clear. It looks like it could be a commercial vs non-commercial use limitation but GPLv2 doesn't really allow limiting the use, only the distribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that leads me to believe that the others from Disco DSP are commercial synths. https://github.com/reales 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same product as the "paid for" version. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin H Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Last week you could just click to left of price on discodsp website and download the respective version for free since it’s open source or pay if you wanted to contribute. Not sure when this changed but this weekend they now link to adsr for me. So maybe they found a loophole to charge if hosted on another site? Not sure.

Go back up a few posts and @Doug Rintoulhas posted the link to the open source versions on the developer's site at github. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
