AlyJamesLab OB-XTRM v2.0 (x64) pre-release

What happens when you take 8 mono synths and use them together? Huge analog sound! This sound is the result of slight imperfections between each voice card and, because of some electronic components (mis)behavior, parts from the orginal circuit (notably the OB-X) caused all sort of distortion happening at different stages from filter to VCA and also at the output stage, OB-Xtreme place a special attention to the later with an emphasis on "the Growl".

There is a lot to say about what V2 is, I can already say what it is not : a simple V1 cross-platform update. V2 is a full remake, while V1 was a simpler take on an OB voice card architecture, V2 is more closely related to original OB designs and specs (including features from OB-X, OB-Xa etc) it is not a direct V1 replacement, nevertheless it got a Legacy mode for Envelope Generators and Filter control so V1 sounds can be reproduced or made (more on that later).
V2 have higher specs in every part of the circuit, it comes as an upgrade gift to all V1 owners, V1 owners will get it for free or use a "give what you want" option.

Features:
Cross Platform 64bit capability (Windows VST3 and Mac AU(Audiounit).
64bit build using latest OS and IDE(PC VisualStudio and Mac Xcode).
Updated GUI(graphic Interface) also now using high-res graphics and DPI awareness.
Rewritten and Refined sound engine.
8 voices poly or mono unison with per voice PAN control and global stereo widening control, can also turn into real (one voice) mono or act as polyphonic unison (8x8).
Most of OB-X/OB-Xa functions added (OSC shapes, X-MOD, F-ENV, SYNC etc) on top of new modulation routing.
Enhanced oscillators spectrum and filter modes (2Pole/4Pole LowPass and 2Pole BandPass) based on OB 2pole SVF and CEM 3320 24Db, 4Pole can have an optional volume compensation.
Accurate SAW + PULSE OSC mixing (can produce +1 octave harmonic depending on the pulse width).
Up to x32 oversampling.
POST and PRE OTA (CA3080 chip used for VCA, Filter and Output Stage) variable distortion (Xtreme factor) with bypass.
x8 Voice cards voltage offsets and deviation can now be controlled easily by five macro controls, optional random propagation and realtime deviation (per note).
Legacy modes for Filter modulation and EG/VCA shapes to match V1 sounds and behavior if needed, the default envelope/VCA behavior is the CEM3310/CA3080 combo (Linear VCA and exponential envelopes) while the legacy mode can be used for more snappy sounds (using an ultra exp VCA response).
Vibrato LFO, original LFO + additional LFO 2, Phase reverse option mode for LFO (card 1,3,5,7) got phase reversed modulations, can also invert Keytracking.
LFOs have gate re-triggering option, SINE, RAMP, PULSE, SAW, TRI, S&H and Noise shapes, LFO2 can be BPM synced.
LFO can be set to single: one LFO on the main board for all voice cards or to multi: one LFO per card
Optional OB-X 6bit resolution on the Filter Cutoff knob scanning.
Sustain pedal can act normally or use the OB Mode (sustain like piano) controllable Envelope Release offset.
(Mac) Introducing new Mac Signed and Notarized Installers.
Basic internal preset browser with main categories.
OB-X (light mode) or OB-Xa (dark mode) changeable skins.

System Requirements:
Windows 10 and higher, 64bit host, plugin provided format is VST3.
