Oberheim OB-Xa - 15 minutes pure analog sounds - part 3/3

[@mirkocaserta]

The OB-Xa and the Matrix 12 are legendary beasts to me. Nice playing btw.

[@ylvam.3917]

You know exactly how to rule Synthesizers. Always a pleasure to listen!

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Ylva M. Thanks a lot. My pleasure

[@jsaulkane5893]

nice open thick raw sound .. not found in many synths today..

[@jarisroth]

Wow, well done, thank you for sharing these sounds. That was enjoyable.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Sounds awesome all around.

[@MadelnMachines]

Can't wait for the UB-Xa

[@warddevleeschhouwer]

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Ward De Vleeschhouwer thanks a lot!

[@SolomonDouglas]

Wow, great sounds!

[@aazyada]

Please do more of this but with different synths

[@Bernd_Bruening]

youngtrippy there is more to come with most iconic synths.

[@carbonvideo]

Sounds great...nice playing to!

[@DALILAFATAMORGANAproject]

Cool 😎

[@Gerald_Daniel]

Every answer for "why Oberheim?" is in those pads & leads.

[@TheCanadianDreamEvergreen]

Still one of my favourite synths

[@kurtyhearty]

Fantastic demo & sounds!👍 Hopefully Tom Oberheim will release a new/modern version of this instrument now

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Thanks a lot! The music in the teaser video from J3PO is absolutely great! It sounds more like an OB-X rather than the OB-Xa. I suppose you’ve heard my demo as well? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJemm4OFqNammJY

[@notesoporto100]

muy bueno!

[@TheMachinesWon]

Any chance we can see some tutorials on how these patches were made? Or just some tutorials on synthesis? Great videos! Please upload this synth with longer stretches, i could listen to it all day.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Even with a single monophonic voice with just 2 oscillators, this puppy can sound about as massive as a Minimoog or Odyssey. Love to know what kind of envelope and modulation settings were used to create the first patch. Love to hear the OBXa pitched against the Prophet T-8. I think if I were playing music already by 1984, that would’ve attracted me more than the Prophet 5 or 10.

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Im using a pedal for opening the filter. This makes the synth very expressive. The first sound was made with a typical ADSR envelope on VCF with high resonance.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Thanks for the prompt response, Bernd Bruening, as well as the in-depth explanation.

[@AdamBorseti]

To me, this, the Prophet-5 and the Jupiter-8 are *the* 80s synths.

[@DavidLee07]

Hey don't forget the CS-80, Adam! :-)

[@AlainHubert]

Don't forget the Memorymoog.

[@RayyMusik]

Herrlich, alle drei Teile! * schwelg *

Great!!! 😁 👍🏻

[@violinstudyingpiano8352]

So many good effects, I have heard a synth in Rossana de Toto you could record it!!!!

[@TheAlchemistRecords]

Nice Job. I'm thinking Siel Opera 6 , Sequential Circuits Velocity 6, and Oberheim OB-8.

[@marcdoten3868]

To my ears still the biggest sounding poly ever made. As aggressive as the Prophet, denser than the Jupiter, as fat as any Moog and nearly as trippy as the CS-80. Large modular tonal depth and vicious attack with 8 voices and program memory. All the soft versions of it and the OB-6 bow before it's might.

[@TheScrollEnsemble]

when is this synth from ? cool idea !

[@Bernd_Bruening]

The Scroll Ensemble 1982

[@oholm09]

Prince used Obxa on 1999 and purple rain

[@irife2771]

what is that switch by your volume pot?

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Momentarily pushbutton plus one of the lower octave keys for selecting a midi channel.

[@payt01]

Nice work! How close would you say the UB-Xa comes to this?

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Sorry, NDA as long as the UB-Xa hasn’t been officially released.

[@payt01]

@@Bernd_Bruening Ah well I guess i"ll just have to wait and see then ;)

[@Bernd_Bruening]

@@payt01 hopefully it won’t take too long.
