Too Much of a Good Thing? // GForce Oberheim OB-1

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Review and demo of the GForce OB-1. In collaboration with Oberheim, GForce have released an emulation of the rare vintage OB1. The hardware will cost you over £4000 so this is an absolute bargain.

As we've come to expect from GForce it sounds fabulous, plus it has all their additions like the XLFO and XADSR.

I do, however, have reservations... and that's because after making this video and spending so much time playing with it
1. I now would love to get my hands on a real OB-1, even for just a few hours, and
2. with all the additions on this you realise quite how limited vintage synths and lots of hardware synths can be.

I'm glad I picked it up, but would like the option to have a bit more of the vintage experience - remove all the extras and leave me with the limitations of the original - its art of the fun of these emulations (for me at least)."
