Marius Leicht - Nachtblau (Matrix 1000 version)
video upload by Marius Leicht
"The piece 'Nachtblau' has gone full circle. I originally wrote it as a synthesizer piece, when I got GForce Software's Oberheim Eight Voice emulation, OB-E for review.
While recording my first solo album, Weltmaschine, I transformed it into a piano piece and recorded it with Nils Frahm's Zwicki Piano at his studio in Funkhaus, Berlin.
As there is not always a piano availlable when I play live shows, I rarely played that piece on stage. But since it gets requested a lot, I now went on to create a sound on my Oberheim Matrix 1000 which can be played very nuanced in dynamics and colour, so I can do this expressive piece justice. Leave your thoughts in the comments!
Check out the first Nachtblau video with OB-E here:" [posted here]

The full original synth version I created by layering my Oberheim SEM eight times is released only on the limited cassette version of my album KLANG | Oberheim Eight Voice, available here:

via this Reverb listing
"Oberheim SEM Pro Analog Synthesizer w/ Original Box - Signed by Tom Oberheim - Rare!
Excellent Near Mint Condition
One very small, faint scratch on the upper right corner of the black, right side panel as shown in photos. Generally not noticeable unless really looking for it at just the right angle.
Sounds Fantastic!! Plugin replicas do not do this synth justice in my opinion.
Includes Original Box, Power Supply, Manual, and a couple of Patch Cables"

RARE to find a turn key package like this and priced low as well!"

Oberheim TEO-5 & Sequential Take 5 Desktop Modules - demo & history presentation | 30 July 2025
video upload by Signal Sounds
https://www.signalsounds.com/ - don't miss Signal Sounds' Summer Sale!
"On Wednesday, 30th July 2025, we welcomed synth wizard and long-time friend of the store Chris ‘-CALC-’ Calcutt to our showroom for a masterclass on all things Sequential and Oberheim.
He provided insight into the culture and history of both companies, as well as what makes their instruments a feature in so many studios and live rigs worldwide. These iconic brands - founded by Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim, respectively - have been at the forefront of analogue synthesiser design for half a century, and they’re currently both going stronger than ever, with new desktop versions of the affordable Oberheim TEO-5 and Sequential Take 5 polysynths hitting the market. Chris spoke about both instruments’ illustrious heritage and explained just what makes each one sound so unique."

"Estate sale, purchase from the family of the original owner
Very nice cosmetic condition. This was a well-kept, and highly appreciated unit by the original owner.
I am not a Synth player, but I have plugged the unit it, and tested it out. The keys, knobs, lights ect, and appear to react to adjustment/manipulation. But I cannot say for certain if all components function as intended.
I would advise having this Synth gone over by a skilled tech on arrival. There is no such tech in my area, so I will leave that to the new buyer."

"This baby has had a full overhaul.
Completely recapped from start to end, not just the electrolytics but all the tropical fish caps too as they were starting to crack with age.
Keyboard has been completely re-bushed, new battery installed, swathes of old logic ICs replaced (everything socketed)
This was a 6 voice model, but has been fitted with an additional 2 voice cards from RosenSound to make it a full 8 Voice.
Fabulous Encore electronics MIDI kit is installed.
ORIGINAL Service manual AND USER Manual included.
Every single aspect of this timeless classic has been gone over, she's a beauty.
I'm happy to provide a video demonstration or answer any questions you may have.
This one will also inadvertently help out the community forever more.. During the restoration, it was displaying some janky weirdness that we couldn't get our head around for months. (turned out to just be bit rot in the eprom) We had been searching for the original diagnostic eprom for a long time and never found it, but the awesome Bob Grieb of Tauntek worked with us and he actually wrote an entire test suite to replicate the diagnostic software from scratch. He's now made that free to the public also! just search Tauntek up on the web to find it.
I truly believe you won't find a better OB-X on the market today."

The Synthesizer Sounds of TOTO 🎹
video upload by RetroSound
"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi
❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com
One of my favorite tracks from the early 80s.
Africa by TOTO from the album Toto IV (1982)
Written by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro
Featured the YAMAHA DX7 and the Oberheim OB-Xa
In the original Yamaha GS1 and CS80
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you.
RetroSound synthesizer demo videos since january 2007.
Everything is free. If you like my work, you can also support me with the purchase of my merchandise stuff or my music. Shop: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com/
