Oberheim OB-X 8 Voice Analog Synth pt.1

YouTube via retrosound72

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Oberheim OB-X 8 Voice Analog Synthesizer from the year 1979. The OB-X was available with 4, 6 or 8 discrete voice cards.

part1: some self-made classic OB-X sounds (pads, brass, bass, sync- and crossmodulation sounds and more)

part2: the features of the OB-X (coming soon)

The Oberheim OB-X is one of the best analog poly-synths ever. A classic! The sound is stunning, organic and very powerful. The sound character (based of the discrete circuits and the SEM design VCF) is different to the later curtis chip based OB-Xa and OB-8.

Used by: Rush (Subdivisions, Tom Sawyer), Nena (99 Luftballons, Nur Geträumt), J.-M. Jarre (Magnetic Fields), Lilling Joke (Love Like Blood), Roxy Music (Avalon), Queen (Flash Gordon), Styx (Too much time on my hands), Japan, Supertramp, Suzanne Ciani, Tangerine Dream (Exit) ..."

Curious what that is in front of the MS20. Also though the MS20 looked a bit flat/fluch in this shot aside from the knobs of course.

Update via thegoodbutcher in the comments: "atop the wurly looks to be a moog source..."

Update via Gord: American Musical has it listed as limited blue on the top right here.

Korg Trident vintage analog synthesizer

via this auction

"Korg Trident Mark I... The Synthesizer section totally works. The brass section totally works, flanger works, but the strings section has a distorted sound and one note drop-out, which is strange to me because all 8 of the synth's voices are working. The "write" function I was not able to successfully execute, and there is a black wire which has come loose inside near the strings VCF and "preset" board (and also near the "write enable" switch on the rear panel. It is definately a ground wire grounded to/from(?) the Strings VCF/preset board. Since I am not certain where it should go, I have left it alone. Most of the 16 presets are still stored and memory/battery itself must be okay. All keys work, all switches work if not finicky, (except the afore-mentioned write switch), all LEDs are working, etc. Internally sound, with no apparent "work" being done, but could use a cleaning. The Trident is a very warm sounding synth and is capable of many textures and soundscapes when individual outputs are sent to a mixer and panned, etc. The SSM filters inside sound great and with the Korg oscillators, have a similar "woody" quality to a rev.2 prophet-5."
