One of my favorite 80s songs
Christopher Cross - Sailing (1980)
'Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be. Just a dream and the wind to carry me'

I used here the Oberheim OB-X for the main theme sound (like in the original song) and the string pad sound And I used the Yamaha DX7 II for the guitar sound.
Piano: Yamaha Reface CP played with the Oberheim Xk
Bass Synth: Moog The Source

The Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer is one of the big legendary synths in music history. Different in sound to all later OB synths like OB-Xa, OB-8 or the new OB-X8. Here can you find the full OB-X playlist with a lot single sound demos, synth comparisions and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.
