Having not seen anything new for a while, I came back to watch videos I've seen before because they're so good! I own an OB-12 and know it takes a little work to get the best out of it - it is such an underrated synth. Once you've understood the keyboard, it becomes very powerful. Your adept skill in synthesis is hugely inspirational and the strange little video clips you intersperse within your demos I think are utterly brilliant. Yes, more demos please!

[@lesscunning9651]

under-rated synthesizer.

[@HYPNOTIKINFEKTED]

The FILTERS on that badboy are VISCIOUS!!!

[@metalboxhead]

I love this thing, who cares if it's the bastard child of Oberheim. Sounds amazing, had the pleasure of playing a couple, and just bought one on eBay!

[@KennethDonnellyStargazer21]

This guy is the best. Simply my favorite demo dude of all time! OH: and he is as good on all the synths he demos! Wonderful, and inspiring..

[@Bartnick81]

With your patches, certainly one of the best sounding synth

[@lqr824]

These are the best synth demos in terms of showing a breadth of sounds... and simultaneously the most entertaining and creatively made...

[@mentalnychnarzedzi6897]

Robisz , Misiek, najlepsze syntezatorowe dema w dziejach youtube`a. Dzięki

[@Laserguy2009]

OMG this thing sounds better than any synth I have messed with so far- I scored one off EBAY!! I love this Italian outcast, it is special. I think even Tom himself would admit this thing is pretty cool, even if it not his own.

[@normal_media]

this guy is all over that thing. nice work bro.

[@dfk1991]

the way ob-12 sounds seems to me like boards of canada, so dark and vintage, sometimes phat and warm, awesome

[@majidmali]

WOOOOOW!!! i found the synth of my life!!! great great playing! love the video amazing work!!

[@t.n.3819]

Love the look and sound of this synth. So underrated.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Jesus, with your patches, I could easily convince myself this is a Matrix 12.

[@peter47a]

Yeah, thats the true power of those things! Please never stop making new videos!

[@philippezsiga1125]

the most underrated synth ever. i ve just bought one sounds amazing ; pure digital glory. ( i own an obxa and i am proud to have it next to the obxa... legendary oberheim sound with beautiful digital grainy sounds . Tom didn t design it but Bob didnt design the memorymoog and nobody cares . pick up one before expensove. INCREDIBLE graphic interface

[@Remco-S.]

i have to say that this one of your sickest synths...really love this vintage synth...just the appearance is already hardcore :D and the sounds are so amazing

[@santibeis]

that's pretty tha best virtual analog synth y'v ever heard.

[@Jauly]

the oscillators sound like plastic, kind of the oscillators in the aegis sonix synth section on the amiga 500. but the real deal on this synth are the intense modulation possiblities, the great panel, great display and the fantastic, very oldschool ems-early 70s sounding filter! I love my ob12

[@danicsibra1951]

This thing is a spaceship.

[@Mikewood-qq6hq]

Or a blue yellow body bag ect

[@ChesterAsucka]

@Xeronicus I completely understand how you feel. It took me a month and a half of research before I could decide. I was in the same boat as well. However, if you want to go by Jexus, the Ion is the only synth on his site I've found thus far with a perfect rating. Also, I got mine for 400 from guitar center and I haven't seen an Oberheim for less than 750 yet (Oberheim also seems like it's a bit more complicated for a first synth) The Ion is freakin' fantastic by the way!

[@Funkonami1]

@Ciaran55 Yes it is from The Prodigy - Climbatize Jexus is a Beast!

[@pianist007]

I don't give a damn wheather it's true or virtual analogue, but that thing is so absolutely wild and expeimental .. Love it !

[@alvarotcnotrvlr9]

3:50 is sickk!

[@LSD555698]

Can't wait video about behringer UB-XA and direct comparison and versus battle)))

[@BaconBricks]

It's not meant to replace the real thing. If you were to put real analog components in the OB-12, it would sound great, but would be too expensive. It has TWO multimode filters, 12 voices, Noise and Ring mod, and an effects section that you just aren't going to find in very many analogs. This machine, alongside machines like the Waldorf Q and Access Virus TI, are examples of why analog is NOT better for everything. (And their filters don't clip. I've only encountered that problem on the JP-8k)

[@Maerklin56]

Danke the best sounding

[@dmitrilavinchuk7754]

KLass!!!!Love it!!!

[@FireItUpProductions]

This is just great stuff...God bless you

[@Safetytrousers]

@IcarusTuga7 A 'virtual analog' synth is a digital synth. It's a digital emulation of analog sounds/circuitry. The only circuits you could be hearing is a badly performing digital to audio converter (I'm not saying that is necessarily the case here).

[@343kaka]

@klockwerk1 It's as it's called a virtual analogue synthesizer, and as far as I know, that is a digital synth, but working as an analogue one.

[@wickermanxxxx]

Another great demo, I think that the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (famous for Dr Who) have been shrunk and placed inside this blue box, to make it capable of some amazing sounds unique to this synth.

[@Ciaran55]

the bit at 9:14 sounds like a Roland JV-2080, and the bit at 9:27 sounds like something out of a Prodigy song on 'The Fat Of the Land' . this Olo fella should have a go at building his own synthesizer. the ultimate accomplishment

[@BaconBricks]

An affordable analog poly with two multimode filters, 12 voices, and a healthy effects section? Fucking lol

[@colinm213]

@Funkonami1 Used in Climbatize by the Prodigy, but they sampled it from a track called The Horn Song by Egyptial Empire

[@TerekkiTerekki]

does sound boards of canada at times - I'm sold

[@toitoitoy]

super!! raw beast

[@ArtFluids]

it's the sound that matters in the end

[@youdjparents]

All your videos are really great. I would buy a cd!

[@IcarusTuga7]

i ear the electric circuits on the sounds..amazing...

[@pdautg]

ha ha ha. serpents asside, the playing and programming is all good man!!

[@Pighood]

WC OLO GARB rules planet earth.

[@mauricerebell]

i love the Sound at 7:27

[@JarreYuri]

I think You do a heck of a job creaming out the drops in the syths You are testing. Good job. Though I think that You could have made a bit more with the DX7. Like sweping the algorithms manually. Never the less... GOD JOB! You made me go and buy a Oberheim (Viscount) OB12. Hahaha Keep up the good work!

[@philippezsiga1125]

this thing comes from an Alien Spaceship crashed in Area 51

[@BRAKESUK80]

@Funkonami1 well spotted ;) this guy is really good

[@blauwolfenduro]

viscount did a greta job

[@Safetytrousers]

@IcarusTuga7 Icarus - this is a digital synth!

[@Ciaran55]

@kekenalii what does smoke do to synthesizers???

[@soundmasterbigbuck5]

stunning - you really spent alot of time on these patches! what firmwares are in Your OB-12?

[@pyongyangunderground]

6:10 => really sounds like some Legowelt stuff ... love it :-)

[@jamesmarkolson]

i'd def like to jam out on 1 of these! some guy has one for trade on denver craigslist.

[@SharedVision333]

This is one of the more exotic-weird- creative synths for some project work that I am looking into. Could I please ask for your help on this synth and all of the work you have done here? How is the distortion and bugs... did you find a firmware from the last known to many other owners? Thanks in advance....Regards...L333

[@ChesterAsucka]

um... I'm probably going to buy this as a second synth... if all allows.

[@RogueRotting360]

@salvadory What's wrong with the blue control panel? It's good looking.

[@xeronicus]

you know at first i thought i wanted to get into synths with an alesis ion(moog is too far out of my price range to even consider it), but after seeing this demo....im not entirely sure anymore.

[@Droidbot_electro]

@Gaarnek1994 maybe its a combination of an old cam with visual effect.0.5 pixel len

[@salvadory1103]

tkind of layout deserves classic beauty - blue looks ok but imagine it in classic black with wood stained ends

[@elmortobeats5919]

Stock presets?? If so im buying one NOW!

[@Droidbot_electro]

@MissCruelbutcute its a visual effect :) not old camera*

[@salvadory1103]

they were with a friends and with numerous reviews from online synth sites- in the end its not a true analog and no matter how good lacks analog's rounder fatter warmer sounds

[@MrFwappy]

Jacques Lu Cont at 6:28.

[@Ciaran55]

okay thanks. I was worried it might affect the circuitry or something...

[@salvadory1103]

for the last time this synth has a tendancy to clip and become "glitchy" according to synth review sites user groups etc- im not talking about all VA,s which for the most part still do not have the sonic range of true analog- i use both but analog is my first choice even if its not easy and convienent- its a nice looking synth but i remember when these were on clearance for 550$- so they could make a true analog which is coming back stronger then ever if they wanted to at a reasonable price

[@TheFatherlongLegs]

@Ciaran55 makes them smell like smoke

[@RogueRotting360]

Give me bright colours any day.

[@Cambaudio]

Yeah man your video are fuckin nuts but I love the style, its art! I would buy a set of them showing various keyboards and raw pictures like this one on DVD!

[@izzzzzz6]

I love my OB12 But i don't play dark twisted bizzaro stuff like this on it. lol

[@TheHexeract]

how much?

[@79adyone]

These synths totally failed when they came out, I remember GC blowing them out for less than $400 in the end and no one could be bothered. My foot is still sore from kicking myself.

[@KennethDonnellyStargazer21]

Right--I remember that, which is why they sold me one for $400 or $500. I think. Amazing and monolithic synth

[@salvadory1103]

now if only they would do the same synth all analog and lose the blue control panel - imagine this as a classic dave smith styled oberheim in black with wood ends- great programming but this synth has issues with resonance and digital clipping as its range gets distorted fairly easily- a problem of all va synths

[@Droidbot_electro]

these are not issues man... brw, - I think some people need some lessons on square wave sounds*

[@srettab]

5-20

[@Droidbot_electro]

09:44 ....

[@MissCruelbutcute]

buy this man a better camera!

[@salvadory1103]

true but analog holds up much better smoother etc- sorry its provable science and fact as well as audibly noticeable!

[@salvadory1103]

for telling the truth- then im a moron- its not a true analog synth end of story- va synths have a tendancy to clip and distort fact- no P#@# off
