Ohm Force

Ohm Force Predatohm is a unique four band distortion plug-in. I didn't have any issues installing the plug-in as it was easy enough to download it from their website and follow the instructions for installation. The interface in the picture shown is actually an alternate skin for the plug-in, the original skin is a lot more user friendly and easy to understand, so I would start with that one first. Each of the four bands of distortion have parameters for level, character, intensity, distortion amount, and distortion type. There are also a slew of parameters on the left side of the plug-in including sections for tone, feedback, and 'super stereo.' I haven't needed to look at the manual for this plug-in, so I can't say anything about the make up of it. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I am currently running Ohm Force Predatohm on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run the plug-in only in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that runs with a Digi 002R audio interface, and within the configuration I can't say I've ever had any problems running Predatohm. I'm able to run a bunch of them within a single session, but don't overdo it too often so I can't say that I would be able to run an endless amount of these plug-ins. I've been running the plug-in only for only a few months but it has become one of my favorite digital distortions to use in this short time. OVERALL OPINION I would definitely recommend checking out Ohm Force Predatohm if you are in the market for a good sounding distortion plug-in. While I don't tend to be a fan of digital distortions at all, this one has some really cool features and sounds. Beyond this plug-in, Ohm Force makes some great plug-ins and I would definitely recommend checking out the bundles that they have to offer as they are very reasonably priced and make each individual a lot cheaper. Also, if you are a student Ohm Force offers up a 50% discount! All in all, Ohm Force Predatohm is a powerful plug-in that should definitely be looked into by home and professional studio owners alike.

The process of installing Ohm Force's Ohmicide: Melohman wasn't hard at all as it was the same basic process of installing any problem. Simply engage the file and follow the instructions. I didn't have any compatiiblity issues or any other problems and was able to use the plug-in in Pro Tools within about five or ten minutes from downloading and installing the plug-in. While I woudln't say that the interface is complicated, there are a ton of parameters to work with so it did take me a little while to get used to everything going on. Since it is a distortion plug-in primarily, it has all sorts of ways to distort your signal and then also has four bands of compression that each have both basic dynamic parameters and some non traditional ones. While I haven't seen the manual, if you are new to compression it would definitely check it out as I'm sure it has a lot to offer about this unique compressor. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Within the current set up that I have, I'm able to run this plug-in without any problems. I am running Ohm Force Ohmicide: Melohman on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run the plug-in in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that runs with a Digi 002 R audio interface. I can't say that I have too many complaints about the performance that I getting with this configuration and this plug-in. However, this plug-in does take up a decent amount of processing power and for me it isn't possible to go crazy with it. I can probably run four or five of these in a single session within my configuration until it starts to slow things down. OVERALL OPINION All in all, I would definitely recommend checking out Ohm Force Ohmicide: Melohman. It has an overall very cool sound and offers tons and tons of setting controls so the amount of variation you can get in terms of tone is outstanding. If you buy this plug-in in a bunlde as I did, it is a heck of a deal but it is a good deal on its own as well. While I'm usually not a fan of digital distortion, Ohm Force has done a great job here in making this work. I love having so much control over my tone and the ability to get so many awesome and versatile sound within a single plug-in. I'd definitely recommend taking a look into Ohmicide as it is overall a very cool sounding plug-in...

The process of Ohm Force OhMyGod was quick and simple and was one without any issues. This plug-in comes free when you buy certain Ohm Force bundles and because of this is a great deal. The plug-in is compatible with Pro Tools so I didn't have any issues related to that, and didn't run into any other problems either. The interface of the software is self explanatory for the most part, but some of the parameters took me a try or two to figure out how it would affect my signal exactly as they aren't all traditional terms, or at least some that I was not familiar with (i.e, comb filter). There is definitely a lot to work with here in terms of types of parameters, and since the plug-in is designed and engineered well, everything is still easy to use. I've never had a need to look at the manual for this plug-in, but I think that unless you are a beginner or are having technical difficulties that a manual isn't necessary. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Right now I'm running Ohm Force OhMyGod on a Mac Book Pro that has as 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run the plug in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that runs with a Digi 002R or a Digidesign Micro Box. Within this set up I'm able to run this plug-in without any problems at all. Of course if you are running an LE based system how good of a performance you get from it will always depend on how fast your computer. I've been running this plug-in for just a few months, but in this short time I've been able to run more than one of these within a single session without a problem. OVERALL OPINION In the short while that I've been using Ohm Force's OhMyGod filter, I've really been enjoying using it. I find that the sounds I'm able to get with this plug-in are varied and are overall of very high quality. This is a great creative plug-in to use for experimenting with sounds, and also offers a ton of presets that I find to be great starting points to get some interesting sounds. While I'm not sure that you can buy this plug-in on its own, I would say that it is definitely worth it to invest in an Ohm Force bundle regardless of if you are a pro or an amateur as they are very affordable and all of them that I have used, I love. All in all, this is a very cool plug-in that is a great bonus in a great bundle.

Ohm Force Quad Frohmage is a filtering plug-in that is great for both creative and more practical uses. Installing the plug-in wasn't a problem as it only took a few minutes for me to go through the process. The interface of the plug-in was also easy to adjusted to, although there is a good amount of information here in terms of parameters and different sections. The typical functions are easily located as to start you've got four channels of filtering with a variety if parameters and then on top you've got sections for an LFO, envelope, and ADSR. The plug-in also has a number of switches and other parameters that would take too long to list, but are easily adapted to as they are all simple to understand. I haven't looked at the manual for Ohm Force Quad Frohmage so I don't know how well put together it is, although it might be worth seeking out if you are a beginner with filtering. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I'm running Ohm Force Quad Frohmage on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run the plug-in strictly in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that I run with a Digi 002R audio interface most of the time. I can't say I've ever had an issue running this plug-in within my configuration as the processing power is pretty well managed. Of course it doesn't run as well as it would if I had a Pro Tools HD system, but it really just depends on what type of system you have if this will run well or not. I'd say that if you currently have a system that is able to run plug-ins without a problem, that this shouldn't present too many problems for you in terms of performance. OVERALL OPINION Overall, I've been very pleased with Ohm Force's Quad Frohmage in the time that I've had it in my arsenal. It gives me a lot of creative options when I am seeking out a particular type of sound. The price isn't expensive at all, which is one of its best features. In terms of bang for your buck, Ohm Force has some of the best plug-ins in the business.

The Ohm Force Mobilohm is a unique software phaser that can be used in a variety of settings. I didn't have any issues installing this plug-in as it only took a few minutes to download and install it. The whole process was pain free as I didn't have any compatibility problems or other issues. The interface of the software is also pretty easy to follow, even though there are a lot of parameters to play with. The plug-in has four oscillators, each of which has the same parameters to work with within each. There are also a variety of parameters outside of the oscillators and after a few minutes of playing around with the plug-in, I was able to have a good grasp on what everything does. The manual for this plug-in is helpful, but I didn't need it much as everything is pretty self explanatory. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I am currently running the Ohm Force Mobilohm on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run the plug-in in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that runs with a Digi 002 R audio interface or a Digidesign Micro Box depending on where I am working from. Within this configuration, thus far I haven't had any issues running the plug-in. I've been able to run two or three of them at a time without any problems, but since there is a lot going on it does take up a decent amount of processing power which should be taken into consideration. It really depends on what type of configuration you are running this on, but as long as you have a decent system that you are currently running plug-ins on, I don't think you'll have an issue with this one. OVERALL OPINION All in all, I've found to the Ohm Force Mobilohm plug-in to be quite helpful. It is definitely one of the most unique phaser plug-ins that I have used as it has more parameters to work with than most will. Having four different oscillators to work with is quite impressive and it makes it possible to get all sorts of phasing tones. While this probably isn't necessary for those who don't use phasing all that much, for those like me who love to use phasing this is a great plug-in to have. The price is very reasonable (especially if you can get a student discount) and is overall a top notch plug-in that I would highly recommend.

Ohm Force Symptohm Melohman Performer is a synth plug-in/virtual instrument that is now freeware from one of the coolest plug-in makers in the business. While this is somewhat tailored for live shows, I have only used it in a studio setting. I didn't have any problems installing the software as it only took me a few minutes to download and install it. I haven't had any compatibility issues or any other problems as it the synth has run flawlessly since I installed it. The interface of the software isn't too complicated, especially because this version of the plug-in provides you with an endless amount of preset starting points. All of the typical functions are easy to understand and access, so even those without much experience with virtual synths should be able to understand this easily. I haven't seen a manual for this plug-in, so I can't say anything about its make up. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I'm currently running Ohm Force Symptohm Melohman Performer on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run the RTAS version of the plug-in in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that runs with a Digi 002R audio interface and I can't say that thus far I've had any problems running the software. However, I've only had a need to run a single instance of them in a session, which is what I think most users will need anyway. This plug-in has only been recently made a free piece of software... OVERALL OPINION For a free virtual instrument Ohm Force's Symptohm Melohman Performer is a very powerful piece of software. I don't believe that there is much of a difference between this one and the non performer version, except that this one has a lot more presets so you can easily access different sounds in a live setting. However, as I said before I've never used this for a live show, only in a studio setting and in tandem with a MIDI controller. Since the software is now free, it is really a no brainer and is a piece of software that everyone should have as it contains all sorts of cool sounds, and for free!

The Ohm Force Frohmage is a resonant filter that is made free by the great people at Ohm Force. I simply downloaded it from their website and was able to have the plug-in up and running within a number of minutes. The interface of the plug-in is pretty easy to follow and is easy to use this plug-in for a number of different reasons. Since it is a free ware plug-in, I'm not sure that it even has a manual, but either way it is easy enough to use that you shouldn't need one.
