UDO DMNO: Classic Oberheim SEM-Style Patches — Full Patch Bank Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Chasing vintage Oberheim tone on a modern synth — this time I've built a whole patch bank around it.

In my original UDO Domino demo I showed how it's so much more than a modern take on the Oberheim 2-Voice SEM: multiple mod sources running simultaneously, deep filter routing options, and full digital waveforms on top. But because it looks like a SEM, I couldn't resist trying to make it sound like one too.

In this demo I play through a patch bank of SEM and Oberheim-style patches — feeding Domino 1 into Domino 2, alternating and detuning the two voices to fake that 2-Voice-to-8-Voice spread, using voice variation and drift for size, splitting the keyboard, and (just to push it) running the envelope and LFO on the filter at the same time. I stripped most patches back to only what an original SEM could actually do, chasing that thick, thunderous, vintage TVS-style tone — the kind of sound you'd expect from something like a Sequential Pro-TVS or an Oberheim Eight Voice — on modern, affordable gear.

The result: Bank A2–H2, 64 patches, all built to capture that classic Oberheim character without ever pretending to be a clone.
