Sounds like a real Tube EQ
I have an EQ plugin from another manufacturer which uses convolution to get a realistic Tube EQ. For all intents and purposes, this Convolution EQ sounds amazing, but acts in a very flakey and laggy way in Pro Tools. So I looked high and low for something that sounds the same but is reliable. I worked my way through quite a few "Character" UAD plugins until I found Century. With minimal tweaking it sounds exactly like the EQ I wanted to replace without the lag and stuttering in P-T. A truly excellent job by the folks at UAD, very impressed, and a very useful "Character EQ" which adds a little color to a track when needed.

It’s fUn!
That’s how I see it! It’s a very fun and great sounding synth that I’ve used on a number of projects and as recently as the day I’m writing this review. Tried the demo and was hooked.
Nice one.

Not even close to a moog.
I have some great mono synths(one of them is the se 1x) amd i ve played a minimoog amd tested in my studio the behringer moog.
I also ve tested many plugin emulations. I didn't like the ua's moog. Legend is much better and ua moog sounds like a joke next to se 1x.

The best 201 emulation out there
I tried many years ago, liked it but never bought it. I tested it again few days ago and i realised that i liked it even more, so it was an instant buy.

Do I need more hardware?
Hi, I have a Yamaha Clavinova keyboard connected to a Apollo Twin.
I purchased the Waterfall B3 Organ plugin.
I want to play my keyboard with the sounds of the plugin.
Do I need more hardware ? I can't make them communicate. The plugin only works with te mouse.
Please help. greetings, Henk

The best compressor together with LA-2 legacy
Worth to buy this non-legacy version. Works great together with Api Channel Strip and LA-2 legacy. It produce strong musical sound, suitable for lead vocals and instruments. Oposite is Tube-Tech compressor which create soft sound for backvocals and background instruments.
Fairchild is my no.1 for lead vocals.

Oxide = Phat!!
I have lot's of tape plugs including the Studer and Ampex. This thing has it's own sound it adds fatness and glue. When on a mix you take it off and it's looses power & magic. It's a beauty!!

Great compressor!
A really nice and fast compressor! I have not tried the hardware so I cannot compare, but it stands out from most other plug-ins I have tried. Very versatile and adds mojo!

Lovely vibe
Not only works on organs, but great for guitars and sometimes on vocals too.
I've used it the next minute I bought it
Can't wait to see what new plugins you add

UAD 1176 impression
I worked for years with the 1176 hardware and the plugins sound as good as the HW to me. Very cool!

Premium sound but could use a bit of polish.
First thing you notice when you start playing with Opal is how high quality the sound is. All of it. The oscillators, filters, effects, they’re all top notch. Nothing to complain about.
That said, it’s lacking some modern features that put it a step down from software instruments like Serum. No MPE support, no polyphonic aftertouch support. The interface is clunky and seems to have you clicking through tabs when a simple right-click assignment would be better. Double clicking doesn’t reset par. It looks good, but needs some UX love. No way to use oscillators to modulate the filter.
So, it was an instant buy for me, because few software instruments get distortion right, and Opal nails it. I just wish they’d add a few basic functions that are common in their competition.
