A hardware quality synth as a plugin
It is the best combination of wavetable and analog sound, has a perfect UX, is very easy and fast to use, has good effects, and has a unique, high-quality sound. If you like the way hardware synths work, you'll love this one. A good balance of features and usability is very rare; I've only encountered this in hardware before.

This is more than just another synthesizer!
Excellent and high quality sound! Easy controls! And I will use this synth quite often I think.

?
I paid for this product and one other but never received it. I have no idea how good or bad it is.

saved me a ton of money
I was about to buy a PPG Wave 2.0 or similar but the OPAL gets the sounds and vibe that i was looking for out of that particular synth. Great Addition to my arsenal of sound. It also includes some very well programmed presets that are usable in so many contexts. User interface workflow is also commendable on this instrument.

Spectacular quality
This is amazing guys, the audio quality on this thing is worldclass and the synth have the essentials parts to make great sounds, and a lots of them. Ua needs to mantain this piece of software and keep making it better, like, more features and more presets, but it is great as it is. Im gonna repeat the same in a couple of reviews in this site; ua needs to start making the plugins available for ipad pro since the new ipads are very capable machines and logic pro is available now. Thanks for making the best sounding plugins for us who work in the box. I tried so much stuff and yours are the best.

Opal is really Cool
I was on the fence at first since I own Arturia's V collection I doubted I needed another Synth. I was wrong this thing is awesome and unique. I really like the way it's set up, Very easy to understand and it you Also buy PolyMax as well Than you will quite the cool tool box. Trust Me!

Opal Morphing Synthesizer
A wonderful plugin. Sections "Header", "Display" and "Panel", which display the signal flow in a clear order from left to right, while important controls are always displayed in the "Panel" section, so more time is left to create interesting sounds and less time is spent exploring the menu.
D. Virág
I love it!!! - okay, I'm a little bit weirdo... :-)
For the first sight I didn't want to buy it. But on the 12th day of trial peroid, (after using it in two new songs) I was in a trap... :-) No regret!!! Now we are best friends. Thx!
M. Schmidt
Super powerful, but not always working the best
This is an awesome plugin that allows you to make some truly crazy sounds. It may take a while to learn how to use but it is way easier than a lot of other synth. The only problem I have is that sometimes its hard to diagnose why the plugin bugs out with all these settings
P. Bondy
Now my go to synth.
A very flexible and great sounding synth plugin. The audio quality is second to none. The range of beautiful sounds it can produce, their dynamism and their usefulness is excellent.
But I’d like to send a real congratulations to the designers of the user interface. Such a clean and smart design that allows very quick and easy access to so many features both without clutter and without diving into a multitude of menus and submenus. A programmers dream or if you want to quickly adjust presets to work perfectly in your track that is a breeze too.
This synth will definitely find its way onto every song I write. I’ve added it to my new song template.
