Ohm Force Ohmboyz

The Ohm Force Ohmboyz delay plug-in was easy to install and I had it up and running within my Pro Tools system minutes after purchasing and downloading it from their website. I had no compatibility issues at all, and since I installed this plug-in it hasn't given me any problems whatsoever. The interface of this plug-in is easy to follow, even though there is a lot going on. It has sections for presets, delay, master output, filter, distortion and and LFO. It is a very diverse plug-in, but since everything is laid out smartly and conveniently, it is easy to follow. I don't have a manual for the Ohm Force Ohmboyz, but you don't really need it if you don't have one.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am currently running the Ohm Force Ohmboyz 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 is powered by a Digi 002 R audio interface. I have never had a problem running this plug-in within this configuration, as it has always run smoothly for me. I am able to run a few of these at once, but I would recommend using this plug-in on auxiliary tracks to save CPU power because this is a pretty powerful piece of software.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Ohm Force Ohmboyz for about six months and have become quite attached to this plug-in. I find myself using it all the time, not only for delay but for the other features it has as well. It is one of the most versatile delay plug-ins out there, with a wide array of capabilities available. The price of this plug-in is a lot cheaper than you would think and is absolutely worth the price. It has an incredible sound quality that is easy to use and understand. Ohm Force makes some great plug-ins, and the Ohm Force Ohmboyz is one of the best that they make.

Easy installation and authorization without headaches.
Special effect based delays, filters, and LFOs.
So the sound starts through four delay lines in parallel (can not activate one, two or three) without feedback but with each pan. It is then routed to one or two (optional) delays, always in parallel, but this time with feedback. Each of these lines has a filter (LPF, BPF, HPF, Peak / Notch) resonance. When choosing GMP or Peak, you can adjust the width of the filter ("Q"). Also for each line, is entitled to a distortion floor and finally a High Shelf filter that allows if necessary to mitigate the acute (useful for example when using the distortion.) Finally, if both delays are activated, we a cross-feedback ("balance") that crosses Feedback or allowed to evolve independently.
Beyond, and original enough to like effect "delay", you can assign an LFO (ten waveforms possible) for most parameters (some for which it does not make sense are excluded.)
Furthermore, all parameters can be controlled via MIDI and can dynamically enchainer completely different configurations ("morphing") by the method common to all Ohm Force plugs. Many presets "factory" are available and a manual clear and French.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Never had any problems running or stability of Mac Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8 and Digital Performer. CPU resource consumption is minimal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this for three years. I am aware that many opinions have already been given, but by an overview of the tools I use for a long time and I particularly like, I could not ignore it.
What is magical OhmBoyz is a plug-in, organized after all fairly simple and does not involve setting very exotic, is able to offer an almost infinite number of effects, often very original and sometimes really crazy. I use it often on drumloops that can be radically transformed, but it can get interesting results on the song or almost anything in fact, including including tablecloths. Note that filters sound remarkably well.
After that, it is not necessarily obvious to know in advance what we will get when you get into a crushing sequence OhmBoyz. But since the time tested and having the presets available on all kinds of loops, I started to have preferences. A knowledge of the presets I choose depending on the situation and I refine as appropriate. But if you have a little time, it can be very creative from scratch and carve an effect parameter by parameter and then adding LFOs. Initially, I chose the "classic skin" because I like to have a clear vision of what I do. As such, and like others, I rather regret not being able to have an overview of assignments LFOs. But it is a plug still very well designed and is in no complicated setup. Of course, the adventurers who like to give it to chance, prefer the "funky skin".
In total, it can hit or it can hover but it is a tool for creating stunning. The kind of effect that can open on inspiration leads you in unexpected ways. Even with a great habit, OhmBoyz will offer surprises.

It should be an unaccustomed handling machinery, etc. lfo. It's actually much less "gas factory" that can have a look.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, and I now have trouble without it. It's a good TRRRES plug, complete with opportunities cratrices terrible. The presets are duly. Even when it is necessary to be careful when making rglages a little extreme, if a loop you can not prvenir pter mouth! (Scuritlimiter ass)
To its limits, even without any momentum, the plug is from a background noise and amplify dmesurment, collapse, leaving, and you keep the res'effondrer contemplate a espce body makes her little life before you, self-sufficient, always renewing itself. Damn!
