Instead of treating O.P.L.A as only a virtual-analog pocket synth, this firmware turns the same compact hardware into a small wave player and sampler-style instrument.
Hansy Synth describes the Boom firmware as a sampler and wave-file player for O.P.L.A, compatible with the original virtual-analog firmware. The result is a digital, sample-based alternate personality for the tiny touchscreen instrument: a way to load and perform sounds from the same hands-on box rather than switching to a separate sampler.
For existing O.P.L.A users, Boom is best understood as an official firmware-driven expansion rather than a completely separate hardware platform. It keeps the compact desktop format and MIDI-oriented workflow while shifting the sound engine toward wave playback and sound-bank performance.
