Oberheim OB-Mx

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

This one is an 8 Voice model. I remember when this was first reviewed in Keyboard Magazine. It was toted to have classic MOOG and Oberheim filters. What's intersting is this was before the scrutiny that came with VAs, and if I remember correctly the reviewer bought into this without question. It received an excellent review, however rumor was that it was the prototype, which is supposed to sound better. Nine Inch Nails reportedly received a prototype and used it in The Downward Spiral.

Check out these previous posts for samples, the OB-Mx story and more. Scroll when you get there. For some bizarre reason the Akai AX80 came up on top. : ) If you scroll, you will find some great samples by Brian Kehew of The MOOG Cookbook as well as other samples, images and info.
