Oberheim OB-Xa, OB-8 & DSI OB-6 Shoot-Out!

Oberheim OB Shootout - Part 1 - "Tom Sawyer" Patch

Published on May 1, 2016 Joe Kearney

via Joe: "Here are a couple of short demos I did with fellow AH’er Joe Kearney demonstrating the similarities possible between an OB-Xa (8-voice), an OB-8, and the new OB-6. We picked two sounds, one from the Xa and one from the 8, tried to match the other synths to them as closely as possible, and recorded the results.

In my running commentary about the Tom Sawyer noise, I talk about portamento being the differentiating factor, when in fact it’s the envelopes (so much for my improvisational speaking skills). I plan to get the OB-6 next to the 4-voice to demonstrate portamento differences in an upcoming video."

"We compare a sound on a freshly calibrated OB-Xa, a brand new OB-6, and a minty but uncalibrated OB-8."

    Was hoping the ob-6 was closer, sounds lifeless compared to the others. Was going to sell my ob-8 for the ob-6 module I need space, no go now. Thx for the comparison.
