I mean i can't really describe because i haven't really learned the terminology for the new os yet but, OS2 is leaps and bounds better than OS1. I can't even imagine what the 1.0 version is going to be like. I mean, yes there are bugs, but its in BETA right now, and its still tight.
Just an example that in my eyes make it worth it is the Global Program Edit (GPE). This feature is truly amazing. I have made full synths by taking a small portion of a snare and looping it and then messing with it within GPE. You can make full filter "passes" of sorts and shape the wave form of this "pass."
The new os makes it so i can never go back to anything else, that is how good it is. And i haven't really even read into the manual, all of this is off tinkering and experimenting i have done. I plan once my latest project deadline is up (new years) i'll read into this and really wrap my mind around it. I'll probably either bump this post up with more indepth reasons i feel that it is worth it or just make a new thread.
Really, I have said it before and i will say it again, JJ succeeded with this one, yesterday when i loaded this thing up, for about 2 hours, every other 2 minutes I was going "No way, you can do that. F*ck pro tools, i got it now." And when my brother came home from the hospital today, he had the same reaction. Really I don't think i can say it any better, GET THIS THING!
that is real talk...makes me want to get it right now..
f*ck a short check! i need it now!
Maybe JJ works with charity cases like myself...
30 bucks man, its a blinding opportunity - and you've been wasting your life away on the clipped up free version?
serious case of false economies
guys, c'mon u lot - anyone still waitin on os1 !!! unbelievable really unbelievable.
buy os1 - 4.97b..., run it into the dirt until jj fully fixes os2 then buy that.
and thats being too cautious - eg: i tried os2 after hating what jj had cut out all the best bits of os1, but after 2hours of trying os2, i badly needed to save - it was making me do all these fierce new things coming out of simple improvements - and a focus on other techniques....i just couldnt believe it, i decided not to switch off my mpc for as many days as it would take to get the codes.......luckily the new os had me up all night - couldn't sleep for churning out these new slinky programs n sequences, by the time i was shattered jj (in japan timezone) was up and ready to send my code even before i was in bed! obviously i didnt even get to bed that day.
decided to sleep when i'm dead, or when my pads fail.
