OBERHEIM FVS w/ Custom Patch Panel by Analog Sweden

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

"Vintage Oberheim FVS-1 (Analog Sweden patchbay mod!!)
Fully functional.

It is a fully functional and—aside from the mod—completely original Oberheim 4-Voice FVS-1.
It was modified by the geniuses at Analog Sweden to be "fully patchable," but the original output board (including the faceplate) is tucked away inside the synth, so it can be restored to its original state if desired!"

Oberheim OB-Xa Resonance Sweep Compared to Matrix-12

video upload by Ryan Day

"Here, I re-create Oberheim OB-Xa factory preset C4, which was famously used in Van Halen's 1984 intro, on the Oberheim Matrix-12. The Matrix-12 uses a different CEM chip (3372) for the filter and I believe the EGs were created in software. However, with programming, it can be made to sound quite similar to the CEM 3320 found in the OB-Xa. Listen for yourself.

Programming hint: I use a tracking generator to achieve the exponential attack curve found on the OB-Xa filter envelope generator. :-)"

I Spent 6 Months Creating the Tom Sawyer OB-X Sweep on my Oberheim OB-X8

video upload by Ryan Day

"Over the course of 6 months, I set out to replicate the classic Oberheim OB‑X resonance sweep from Tom Sawyer using my OB‑X8. Dialing this in was a serious challenge. Even so, it’s not a perfect match as there’s no way to fully capture the unique character of Geddy Lee's original OB‑X, particularly the per-voice oscillator tuning variance, pulse width variance, filter cutoff, and envelope generator de-calibration that shaped this sound.

The OB‑X8’s Vintage knob gets impressively close, though.

This clip was recorded on my phone. I’m hoping to put together a higher-quality demo in the future. For now, hope you enjoy it."

Voidcontrol MIDI Releases OB-6 Unofficial Editor: DAW Integration for the Oberheim OB-6

OB-6 Unofficial Editor - VST3 Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI



"Voidcontrol MIDI has released the OB-6 Unofficial Editor, a Windows VST3 plugin that lets you control and automate the Oberheim OB-6 from within a DAW, just like a software instrument.

The OB-6 is a beloved analog polysynth, and the Unofficial Editor makes it straightforward to integrate into a modern DAW session. Every parameter is on screen, organized by section, with real DAW automation on every control rather than just MIDI learn. A standalone version is also included.

Features include:

Full parameter control, organized by section
Real DAW automation lanes for every parameter (VST3 version)
A patch library with naming, categories, search, and sharing
A polyphonic sequencer that plays back on the OB-6 itself
A/B snapshots with an automatable morph slider
Editing of the OB-6's global settings
A resizable interface (50% to 300%)

The editor has been tested in Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, and Waveform, and works in the Windows 11 MIDI 2.0 environment.

'I built it because I wanted my OB-6 to fit into my DAW the way my soft synths do, and I designed it to be something I'd want to use myself every day,' said Dave of Voidcontrol MIDI.

Voidcontrol MIDI is a small US-based developer making editors for boutique and classic hardware synths. The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is its second release.

The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is available now at voidcontrolmidi.com for an introductory $30 USD through June 16, 2026, after which it returns to its regular price of $40 USD.

For more information: https://voidcontrolmidi.gumroad.com/l/mqbtla

The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is a third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sequential or Oberheim. 'OB-6' is a trademark of its respective owner."

Linndrum vs Oberheim DX vs Sequential Drumtraks. Which classic 1980s drum machine comes out on top?

video upload by Brian Coyne Guitar

"In this video, I put three legendary vintage drum machines head-to-head:
🥁 LinnDrum (1983)
🥁 Oberheim DX
🥁 Sequential Drumtraks

I'll compare their sounds in the room, explore their tuning capabilities, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each machine, and share my thoughts on which one is the easiest—and most inspiring—to use.

Then we'll take all three into the studio and hear them recorded directly into the DAW in stereo with no processing, playing classic 1980s-style beats inspired by artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Phil Collins, Dead or Alive, and more.

You'll hear:
• Raw stereo recordings of all three machines
• Individual drum sounds and tuning demonstrations
• Workflow and programming comparisons
• Pros and cons of each machine
• Which machine sounds the most hi-fi
• Which machine delivers the most authentic 1980s vibe

These machines helped define the sound of an entire decade. But nearly 40 years later, which one still holds up best?

Watch the shootout and let me know your favorite in the comments!"

Roland TR-1000 & Oberheim TEO-5 - basic dub

"The bass loop on the TR's 'CC' part was also created on the TEO-5.
I love the TEO's reverb. No additional processing."

Can the OBERHEIM TEO-5 get BRUTAL?

video upload by Tonepusher

"In this video, I’m taking a different look at the Oberheim TEO-5, a synth usually known for its lush, classic analog tones and pushing it into much more aggressive territory. We’ll explore how features like the Vintage knob, overdrive, X-Mod, and the ring modulator can transform this “vintage-style” instrument into a brutal sound design machine for industrial, EBM, and dark electronic music. If you’re into synths, sound design or heavy electronic music this one’s for you!"

"The Oberheim Matrix-1000 Analog Synthesizer played with the Oberheim Xk masterkeyboard controller.

Experience the legendary sound of the Oberheim Matrix-1000 analog synthesizer.
This synthwave demo track by RetroSound showcases warm vintage pads, deep basses, lush textures and classic 80s analog character.

I think, the Oberheim Matrix-1000 is one of the most underrated analog synth modules ever made, featuring authentic Oberheim sound with powerful modulation and rich vintage tones. Perfect for synthwave, ambient, cinematic music and retro electronic production."
