Description :
OP-X PRO-II is a virtual analog synthesizer, originally based on the famous Oberheim OB-X.
However, its engine has evolved to include features borrowed from other iconic synths of the era,
making it incredibly versatile. The range of possible sounds extends from early mono synthesizers,
classics like the OB-X and Jupiter-8, to the Matrix-12.
The OP-X PRO-II engine closely follows the technical structure of real-life analog polyphonic synthesizers from the 80s, which were based on separate discrete circuits for each voice that sounded slightly different by default due to device tolerances, and could be customized globally by adding bias voltage (auto-tuning) or individually by adjusting the trims on the PCBs. All this is implemented in OP-X PRO-II. What this means: Single voices are actually separate discrete monophonic synthesizers (no cloning of voices!), which by default (without tuning) sound slightly different, but can be quickly tuned or again globally de-tuned (also smoothly if necessary) by pressing special buttons (simulating auto-tuning) for various groups of parameters. Virtual trimpots (simulating calibration trimpots on voice cards) finally also allow pairs of voices to be tuned individually to achieve custom tuning if needed.

Totally noob here, is there some tutorial on how to load this VST into Cubase Elements 13?
It seems that among the downloaded files there is no user interface.
