Serenal Drift - Oberheim OBX8 Ambient Performance
video upload by Lars Bartkuhn
"This is the first thing I wrote when I recently got my Oberheim OBX8. The Pad Sound here is the most breathtaking and beautiful synth sound I can imagine. I always dreamt of it sound and kind of emulated it (or at least tried it) with all my other synths before (from my trusty old K2600 to my Prophet 12). When I created the preset I was so deep in awe that I almost couldn't play it; it feels like one has a whole string orchestra or horn ensemble under one's fingertips and it's simply too much to handle!
That's why I decided to play it more melody oriented, kind of stripped down to leave some space for more imagination. The music in this video is a reduced one take performance of a larger album piece that has more orchestration in it and overall will sound a bit more ethereal and dramatic. Nonetheless this clip here captures pretty well why I love this instrument so much."
