GForce Oberheim OB-1 (50% Off Intro Sale!) Live Review!

►Download here (50% off for a limited time!): www.gforcesoftware.com/produc...
It’s incredible that the hardware Oberheim OB-1 has remained under the radar for so long. With the GForce OB-1 emulation, designed in collaboration with Oberheim, we’re bringing this classic synth to the fore. The GForce Oberheim OB-1 broadens the Oberheim sound palette in ways that we believe will see it become a big favourite among techno and electro producers and underground artists, as well as composers for its character and anyone cherishing vintage analogue tones.
The hardware Oberheim OB-1 holds a special place in the history of synthesizers. Launched in 1978, it was the world’s first programmable monophonic synthesizer. Designed by Tom Oberheim, this revolutionary instrument brought the power of preset memory to the world of analogue synthesis, allowing musicians to store and recall their unique sounds with relative ease.
Despite its groundbreaking features and historical significance, the OB-1 has remained somewhat under the radar compared to other classic synthesizers like the Minimoog.
However, those who have experienced its capabilities know that the OB-1 is a true gem.
Its rich, aggressive sound and expansive feature set make it an essential hustler.

Thanks for the demo, always appreciate being able to hear sounds in the context of how how they might be used - Great stuff !! GForce always create some very usable, musical patches: Buy a solid sound-set - and get a Virtual Synth thrown in for free.

[@VultureCulture]

Exactly! They certainly set the standard for analog quality in the box! Thanks as always for your incredible work and for leaving a comment! 🙏

[@David3Wise]

@@VultureCulture And thank you for an OB-1 Version of Aquatic Ambiance. 🙏

[@skarajmusic]

Diddy Kong Racing was one of the best soundtracks ever made, thank you.

[@NatLifeSounds]

10:00😮😮😮 wtf, is so amazing, analogish and modern like melodic techno sounds in same time

[@soundmechanicssounddesign]

Possibly the best soft synth I've heard yet for those old analogue sounds. Thanks for the review.

[@VultureCulture]

Agreed and glad you enjoyed it!

[@PeachesChrenko]

Thanks so much for this Demo! Very helpful

Let me know when you do, i would love to hear it! 🎧

This sounds GREAT!!! Nice video as usual!! 🙂💛

wow, something new from GForce :)

[@richardpennington5445]

They’re on an Oberheim product onslaught at the moment aren’t they? 👏🏻

[@freddymercury2259]

I couldn’t watch the whole livestream due to connection issues, but this synth sounds Heavenly! I’m new to synths and sound design, with Sylenth being my only VST experience. I had no idea they could sound this good. This is definitely on my radar! Can you do a video on Sylenth and if it can sound like this?

[@VultureCulture]

Sylenth, while a fabulous software synth, isn't going to sound this analog. I don't think Sylenth can do PWM? So this is going to be in a different league than that plugin for analog sounds. However, Sylenth does Virus-type stuff phenomenally.

[@bupkis7505]

Gfocre does not mess around. Some of my favorite soft synths

[@VultureCulture]

Absolutely top notch work.

[@Nad76]

Best Vsti review as always!

[@VultureCulture]

Thank you so much Nad! 🙏

[@steffenbott70]

Great Synth,, it´s the sort of VST you start and have directly fun with :-), very musical patches...super usefull

[@VultureCulture]

Yeah it's crazy good and the patches are insane!

[@kelvynification]

As someone with all the Gforce synths I was going to pass on this one but after watching this video I’ve changed my mind. Great presets that are quite unique. Thanks:)

[@VultureCulture]

Yeah, I was worried it was going to be a reskinning of OB-E but it's definitely got its own flavor

[@joshtackett]

Did you just start this demo with the Donkey Kong water theme??….

[@VultureCulture]

You betta believe it!

[@ageshero]

Sound Freaking great

[@VultureCulture]

Yeah it's a really fantastic sounding plugin

Hows the CPU and Asio Guard ... I have an i5 and get nuked with some Pigments presets

[@VultureCulture]

CPU hit is pretty big. I would test the demo before you buy it.

[@aural_escape]

I'm using this on an i5 2500k in cantabile with asio4all, it can be taxing on the CPU in unison mode, more so with reverb on. you can use it, turn the reverbs off and use voxengo's 'oldschool reverb' which is less weight on the CPU.

[@VultureCulture]

@aural_escape yeah it can be pretty taxing for sure!

[@lance134679]

I think the key to selling soft synths is having the first handful of presets be amazing, and they really nailed it on the OB-1. I especially like the new additions of looping VCA/VCF and the HPF in the effects section. 👍

[@VultureCulture]

They knocked it outta the park with the first presets ⚾

[@aural_escape]

It can be quite an angry sounding synth if you want it to 😁 Good for replicating a john carpenter atmosphere ;-) match it up with cherry's Mercury 6. maybe in an update they could add on option for 1x oversampling or turn it off.

[@VultureCulture]

Yeah I don't usually mind an unoversampled sound. Decapitator doesn't oversample and it's an industry-standard distortion plugin

[@NatLifeSounds]

Biggu Reibu have a such analogish posteffect, wow

[@VultureCulture]

Yeah this plugin sounds even more analog than their previous ones! Can't wait for a NatLife library for this one!

[@NatLifeSounds]

that's amazing man, I need to watch the whole your video this evening for sure :) I just received it from GForce, so yes - I will definitely do something with it 😎 I need to finish some hardware sounds, it's a hard work here with soundbank for Blofeld, and it's hard as f*ck to collect single sounds into multi and save it all, I creating reach Supersaw trance sounds, which I didn't found in the net yet🤦who could come up with such tricks in the synth? Well, of course, the Germans😅 because everything is like that in the country)))😅

[@chrisstrobel3439]

FYI This isn’t the only soft synth endorsed by Tom, there are a couple other.

[@VultureCulture]

Really? Which?

[@bupkis7505]

invest in good monitor speakers and sub

[@grigsky]

I don't understand still: what kind of aim do you look for? Where is music? Where is real music?

[@VultureCulture]

I'm a little confused by your comment. What do you mean?

[@BeanyBeanyBeanster]

I think the confusion is that, in this case, a 'Live Review' doesn't mean a 'Live Performance'. It is simply a demonstration for musicians who want to hear the synth before they buy it. We want to hear the raw tone of the oscillators & filter & how they react with the FX. We don't want to hear someone else play a 'Live Performance' as we will be imagining how it will integrate with our own performance needs

[@thedailyremedy968]

[@UcPhotos.Online]

It would be awesome if they could combined all the GeForce Oberhiem into one super synth. But than it won’t be an emulation It sounds super awesome I would buy ,if I didn't already have so many soft synths. lol

[@VultureCulture]

I agree, but I also think the UI's are already dense enough!
