MATRIXSYNTH: OBERHEIM OB-12 VIRTUAL ANALOG POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER

OBERHEIM OB-12 VIRTUAL ANALOG POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER


via eBay and Reverb.

The listing states: "This blue beauty is Oberheim's virtual-analog version of the classic sounds and tone of the original Oberheim synthesizers, with some additional modern features."

The OB-12 actually does NOT sound like a classic Oberheim. That said, it is a good sounding VA with it's own character. It excels at strings and pads as well as some harsh and abrasive sounds. Be careful with the resonance turned up high. It can be ear piercing in a way not found on other synths, except maybe the Akai AX-60. The OB-12 was a Viscount synth.
