Coming from the P6, the interface on the P5 was all the more elegant and inviting... This is the opposite of that. So much more panel real-estate to be had, lesser functionality to accommodate, and yet somehow, they managed to leave so many crucial parameters off the panel, and actually made it less intuitive than the OB6. What happened? Cheers!

Thanks for the in depth review. As an 80's prog fan, I absolutely had to invest in this instrument which I've had for about a month. I'm learning some great Page 2 tips here! I especially appreciate the double LFO setup and using Portamento for XMod and Sync. I need to revisit Hold and Chord modes based on what you show here. I wanted to share an Arp Hold trick I learned... Press and hold the main Hold button, and then play your arpeggio keys one by one, with whatever velocities you prefer, and then release the Hold button. (No need to hold all the keys in one hand for a wide span of notes!)

@@loopop What's odd is how can the price be so different yet you get so much less on the X8 except I guess the 8 voice bi-timbral and authenticity has to play a large part in the price difference. Therefore it HAS to sound better else it's a waste of money to buy the X8 if module to module is $1,100 separation. They'd be shooting themselves in their own foot. That doesn't make financial or logical sense as it's the same company. Let's beat out our own product with our previous other product. IF the prices were the same I'd make some sense. So where exactly is the price/value/worth difference occurring? X8 has to sound much better or it's irrational.

You know how the OB6 and P6 have a flashing LED to indicate when a pot isn't reflecting the stored preset value? Does the OBX8 have some equivalent of this? I saw these is a compare mode in the manual that allows you to compare the sound of presets vs the edits you have made but does that give you any indication of the pot values vs preset value? Did 1.1 firmware change this? It's quite disappointing how much menu diving there is when there's so much space - especially on the keyboard version.

Excellent deep dive as always. My old Xa had a jack input to latch/trigger the Hold function. So basically it has a sustinuto pedal functionality. I'm somewhat surprised the new X8 doesn't have this input jack. This is separate from the Sustain pedal on the Xa which simply lengthened the release times on the envelope so they died out more like an acoustic piano. I did notice the new X8 has a sustain jack input that as described in the pdf manual, behaves like the old Xa Sustain pedal input jack. Do you know if there Is there any way to program, such as the Page 2-mod matrix type functionality, the routing of the Sustain input jack to control Hold functionality with a sustain/latch-trigger pedal?

Hi Loopop, really nice video as usual. :) I sold my 2 OB-6s (keyboard + desktop) for an OB-X8 a year ago and I don't regret it. I agree with your feature requests including the LFO external clock sync and the adjustable number of voices on each of the two layers of a split program. There's one big miss for me, it's the polychain feature: that's the reason why I bought a second OB-6 back in the days, enjoying a maximum of 12 beautiful Oberheim voices at the same time - and I did a video explaining the different benefits of this feature here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hofMYaB-idasedE - and the feature doesn't seem to be available on the OB-X8 which is a shame. That would have been a massive 16-voice synth like the 16-voice Moog One.

Without having both side by side I just went with the X8m. I've seen a few videos that say the X8 sounds better. I wanted the best sound and 8 voices is a plus. I need to buy that editor because that morph feature sounds extremely interesting. I wonder could they add that morph feature in an OS update maybe by having a 2 layer/split active and then using the morph mode to combine them? That would be a really fun feature without needing a computer and app.

In a way. As the story goes, a friend of Dave Smith's (I think it was someone with a Latino name, but that's as close as my memory gets me... maybe someone else here remembers?) finally convinced Dave to make a new Prophet 5 before Behringer did, because they surely would. And that prodding was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back, and Dave finally decided to do it, after years of saying he wasn't interested. And then, I think the success of the Rev4 Prophets helped pave the way for the OB-X8 to happen. So, I do think Behringer's looming clones helped prod Tom Oberheim to get back control of his trademark, and add tgis to his legacy.

I can't find anything about where this gets produced, if it gets handproduced, where they source their parts, if they had to redesign specific parts, especially as a electronical engineer. Why they use this cheap behringer looking interface? It just made me think if maybe behringer has still part in the company and is replicating parts and chips for them and takes part in production... They "gave" Tom the brand back, so maybe they still own a percentage of the buisness, because I'm sure they didn't gave it as a present after trying to claim the brand "Behringer Oberheim" in 2021 that got denied by court. I know the Focusrite Group so -> Dave Smith Instruments and especially Marcus Ryle take huge part in the company nowadays. But in my opinion the music tech industry is just a messed up bunch of monetary interested giants in buisness that want to take the money out of our pockets.

It's currently going for 5,364 euros on Thomann. I fully agree with your comment, no one in his right mind should pay that much for such an instrument, looking at technology or craftmanship. I already think 2k for a full poly synth is a lot, but 5k is just a joke. Synth "enthusiasts" (or just youtube salesmen ?) seem really out of touch to me, kind of like for bikes (road bikes or mtb, often going for more than a good motorbike). I guess it's easier being a collector than a musician.

Excellent and thorough. I have one, and I learned a few things that I hadn’t figured out yet. I would add one category to the possible buyers. If someone wants the best analog poly synth currently in production, it’s either this, the Prophet-5/10 or the Moog One. I had an OB-6 since it was released, and had them side by side when I got the X8. The sound difference is significant. Especially the filter. And the X8 has a much wider range of sounds it can make. If someone wants an Oberheim and is deciding between the two, I would say the only reason to get the OB-6 is convenience (effects, etc) and price. Sonically, the X8 is much better.

@@Goettel Understood, but other manufacturers offer bullet-in FX with a full analogue path if disabled - and in view of the unit’s price this feels like a major omission.

Usually the addition of effects (like the ob6) means omission of other potentially more desirable features. For instance, another LFO or envelope or …. I bet you would trade those effects for another lfo or two especially for studio work.

@RikMaxSpeed Жыл бұрын
@@MrCowfood Frankly I don’t understand limitations on the number of LFOs and envelopes, these can still be digitally generated whilst retaining an analogue signal path. These are all so many excuses, especially at this pice-point.

My OB-X8 does not switch into a page 2 mode where the knob functions change. I'm not sure how you are doing that. I noted your words to say when you are in global however I think you meant to say when you change the setting under "Global" to the option "panel & display". I was going nuts for a moment but figured it had to be a setting.
