i have to say i LOVE the opus-3. so much so that i bought two of them.
they are used in my electronic band and make up the core of the band's sound.

here are links to sites that have mp3's of my band. the opus-3 is all over them. the song "retrograde summer" has the opus-3 starting the song off... and gives you a good idea of it's thick crunch capabilities. i think this synth sounds incredibly full when you play chords with it. though i've only really compared it to the juno-60(i've never heard an arp in person), in terms of poly analog synths, not much compares.

So I got all my boards delivered from London to Ireland and unfortunatly the Opus3 is the one synth that needs a little servicing . . so I'm going to try and get her up and running this coming week and get some mp3s up for you.

Almost there!

hey, i purchased the opus 3 about a month ago and i couldnt be happier.
If you wanna hear a great deal of what the Opus 3 can do, you can check out the song entitled "Synesthesia" on my myspace over here: http://www.myspace.com/jontidaniels

It demonstrates the string and brass sections quite clearly.
I recorded a whole album on the Opus 3(where that song is taken from) which i can upload if anyone is interested.....

That sounds pretty cool Jay Daniels. The strings sound a lot better than people give them credit for. I couldn't really make out the brass amidst all the guitars and drums though. Hey Mee3d any luck yet? If you can set up some clips I would really like to hear the Organ, Brass, and String section on their own.

Here's a collection of sounds from the Opus-3, maybe not the most representative patches, but they show you how wild it can get when coupled with FX.

Thanks I've heard those before. They kind of give the general idea but I'm looking for more of a demo of each of the three sections trying to sound as much like the instruments they are named after as possible. I know that they don't sound a lot like the real things but I just want to hear it. I can't believe there is no one on the internet that has recorded there opus like that.

hey mee3d did you ever get that opus up and running?

mee3d · Post by **mee3d** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 1:05 pm

No... she's still in her case, along with my sickly memorymoog... sorry.

I'll post as soon as I get her up and running (perhaps a little YouTube video?)..

Excellent! The more people that make YouTube videos of their Moogs, the more people understand about Moogs. : )

Absolutely; You Tube has become such a great resource for anyone wanting to get a true representation of all of these rarely played vintage synths (thanks in part to Museslave)

I've finally found a MiniMoog at a price I can afford and it should be shipping to my home this week.

I'm really looking forward to taking some videos of it in action and posting them.

I just wish I did the same for all the other analogs I've burned through on my way to the Mini (MG-1, Micro, Rogue, Mono/Poly, SH101, SH09, Odyssey, Avatar, MS-20, MultiMoog, Sonic Six, ect.).

Pretty much all of these synths have had at least one (and often many) qualities or characteristics that made them unique and worthwhile in their own right. But until you spend some time with each one it's impossible to really know what those qualities are... but the videos are such a great way to exhibit this.

That's fantastic news!! Yey! You'll have to post all about it.

Yes, I feel the same way about several of those same synthesizers... but a couple of them I still have and plan to make videos of! Especially the MG-1, so everyone knows just how useful it can be!

That's why I want to make them, and want others to make them! What an excellent tool to aid people in finding the sound and functionality they desire!

I wish I had video editing software, then I could make my videos somewhat more bearable as a single video. I really like Museslave's approach to the making of his videos.
