GForce / Oberheim OB-X - Why is it good?

[@vcr210]

I like your point of view. Don't let your equipment limit your creativity. For Pete's sake, Peter Gabriel used a phone book for percussion.

[@polydata]

Yeah! And Brian Wilson used a car horn haha

[@VIC-20_Synthwave]

Keep up the good work, love your patches.

[@polydata]

[@Illkacirma]

@@polydata you're one of these fine people acknowledging the fomo-suffering part of the neurodivergent community by saying - just paraphrasing now - that nobody needs fancy gear to make good music :) thanks! and thanks for minimizing pressure (:

I love the plugin.. I own Gforce SEM and thing it is one of the best modelling synth i've used. just a pleasure. I have a lot of experience with the hardware OB-X and the new one is spot on. I already on Synapse - Obsession and OB-X has a bit of an edge to is but i'm not sure if it's enough of an edge to purchase this gforce thing. I feel as a SEM owner i should get a slightly bigger discount but I'll probably end up getting it anyway because i'm a crazy completist

[@polydata]

Yeah, I definitely really like the SEM too, it sounds awesome.

[@electrowayne2918]

Not bad! Your patches make it sound great

[@polydata]

Thank you!

[@artisboris]

Good stuff, man!

[@polydata]

Thanks!

[@mrfuzztone]

GForce is a great company. I have all their stuff. Started with their Mellotron a long time ago: M-Tron Pro. Dave Spiers has a lot of great old synthesizers and knows synths.

[@polydata]

I agree! They're really great

[@kamelhamlaoui9983]

Thanks 4 the answer!

[@nelnich4445]

What patches did you use on this demo?

[@polydata]

The first patch is called "For Alex", the second one is called "Research Funding, and the third one is called "SEM Lineage" - all from Sound Bank '79

[@evanfisher8303]

what was that last patch in the demo? reallly struggling to recreate it! plz help mr.polydata

[@polydata]

It's called "SEM-Lineage" from my Sound Bank '79 for the OB-X :) If you don't have it yet you can get it in my store: polydata.bigcartel.com

[@amulpatel]

hope to see patch creation tutorials from scratch

[@polydata]

Maybe! I have a couple videos up I made from Spring 2022.

[@amulpatel]

@@polydatadude!! That would be super dooooope

[@williamheckman4597]

I don't understand. What do you load these sound banks into? Is there a piece of software?? How do I use these?

[@polydata]

That's right, it's a piece of software. You can find it at www.gforcesoftware.com

[@williamheckman4597]

@@polydata Right so its a plugin? What softwares does it work with ? Or is it standalone and VST ?

[@polydata]

Yes, it's a normal plug-in you can use with any DAW, like Logic, Ableton, etc. It can be used as a standalone application as well. @@williamheckman4597

[@kamelhamlaoui9983]

What kind of computer is that? Like the OB/ SEM GFORCE.👍🏻

[@jeremydbjbjbjb]

looks like an Apple IIe to me

[@polydata]

yup! an early IIe :) @@jeremydbjbjbjb

[@sandwich-breath]

7:45 the first synth sound in this post. Pass.

[@PeteOrrall]

Who cares about the plugin? I wanna hear what you're doing with that gem of an Apple IIe! Haven't used one of those since 5th grade. 🙂

[@polydata]

Haha yeah! I used to play Fraction Munchers in elementary school.
