Oberheim TEO-5 vs OB-6 vs OB-X8 // which synth is BEST?

"Shootout / comparison of the three high end analog synthesizers from Oberheim / Sequential. Which should you get?

All 3 synths were recorded direct into UAD Apollo 16 interface with no EQ or pre-amp coloring. While I did my best to level match all 3 of the synths, these are analog instruments with a high variance in dymanic range, so at some points, one synth will sound louder than others. For example, the OB-6 sometimes sounds louder than the others, because of its inherently hotter levels driving into its internal mixer, despite reading similar levels on the meter. It's a fine balance to get the levels close, without overcompressing the master audio file, so I went for as transparent of a recording as possible, so keep that in mind if you have issues with level matching.

0:00 - intro, what we are doing today
1:04 - same patch compared on all 3 synths
2:11 - init patch comparison & why the OB-6 sounds so different
2:54 - oscillator section comparison
4:30 - pulse width & modulation workflow differences
7:39 - filter section comparison
11:23 - envelope comparison on a classic PWM string sound
15:50 - patch comparison, classic OB pad sound
18:24 - playing the exact same chord back to back
18:57 - unique features of TEO-5
24:47 - unique features of OB-6
31:20 - unique features of OB-X8
40:33 - TEO-5 sound demo no talking
45:49 - OB-6 sound demo no talking
49:28 - OB-X8 sound demo no talking
55:19 - which one should you buy?
56:52 - my conclusions & thoughts on all 3 synths
