Oberheim TEO-5 vs OB-6 demo track | Sequential Take 5 demo custom sounds

video upload by Infested Alien

"Since I scratched my head if TEO-5 is analogue enough to be filling up an entire track I just had to make a rough track for each synth. My conclusion is that TEO-5 really makes a modern feel but lacks the richness from OB-6. So in my conclusion I will stick with OB-6 and perhaps in future an OBX8 for the bread and butter sounds and TEO-5 for the a bit special ones."

"Sorry for this weird video, but I had no time to record myself between each sound since I just had to create them on the fly and record them in wavelab :) Short of time today."

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Forward Momentum 0:00
Revival 3:59
Through the Window 8:20

The Sound of Prince with the Oberheim 🎹

video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
When Doves Cry by Prince from the album Purple Rain (1984)

I used the 1010music bento with LM-1 samples and tuned the sound.
The bento works great as sample based drummachine for me.


And I used the Oberheim OB-Xa synthesizer for all synth sounds.
I played the guitar sample with the E-MU Emulator II."

Oberheim Xpander 6-Voice Synthesizer SN 770244

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"We are delighted to present this Oberheim Xpander, a superb example of one of the most sophisticated analogue polysynths ever created.

Designed by Tom Oberheim’s team during the golden era of American analogue innovation, the Xpander represents the pinnacle of Oberheim engineering — a true hybrid masterpiece that marries the lush, organic depth of analogue oscillators with one of the most flexible modulation architectures ever implemented in a MIDI-equipped synthesizer.

Released in 1984, the Xpander was a technological tour de force, featuring six discrete voices, each effectively a complete monosynth, coupled to an extensive modulation matrix and multi-mode filters. Its sound palette remains legendary — capable of producing rich, evolving textures, weighty basses, and intricate soundscapes that continue to inspire composers, producers, and collectors alike."

See if you can spot the Matrix-6 screen. I think that was accident. Capturing it for posterity. :)

"A towering icon of analog synthesis! Nicely restored, beautifully preserved, and built to tour or record for another lifetime.

This Oberheim Matrix-12 is in very good condition, has been restored by Rosensound, with some recent restorations performed by synth legend and former Oberheim engineer Marcus Ryle. It comes in a new, custom-built, heavy-duty flight case. It’s a US version, upgraded with a new control panel overlay from Sweet Discrete (UK) for a clean, sharp aesthetic. Everything functions beautifully; a truly top-shelf example of one of the most powerful analog polysynths ever built.

Cosmetic notes: the Sweet Discrete panel overlay LED registration is a bit off in a few places, so some LEDs look slightly off center (as shown in an included close-up image). Performance is not affected. The new overlay generally looks beautiful, but not strictly 10/10. There is also some stubborn tape residue on a few of the keys which can also be seen in the photos.

Details:

12 voices, each with 2 analog oscillators, multimode filter, and extensive routing
Legendary 96-point modulation matrix; no menus, just raw power
Velocity and pressure sensitivity, 5-stage envelopes, and complex LFOs
Massive analog presence with surgical control
US voltage model (no step-down needed)
New road-ready flight case included, $600+ value
Restored by Rosensound and Marcus Ryle, two of the most trusted names in analog synth servicing
New Sweet Discrete panel overlay from the UK; clean, legible, and sharp
Used by Hans Zimmer, Keith Emerson, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and countless electronic pioneers, the Matrix-12 is the pinnacle of analog polyphonic design; often called “the last great analog monster.”

30% of this sale supports the Bob Moog Foundation, preserving the history of synthesis and inspiring future creators."

The SN appears to be MX001073, listed back in February.

"I’m the sole owner of this super classic synth. purchased in 1996.

While in great condition aesthetically, the voices require calibration/tunning. when in 2 voice mode seems to stay in stay more in tune And doesn’t drift as much.
So this unit require a little bit of work hence the lower price."

"One of very many items from Calum Hunter's superb home studio - and probably the jewel in the crown. This is a rare black version of Tom Oberheim's classic original Two-Voice synth. Cosmetically it looks a bit tatty at first glance - but on closer inspection, the bad areas where the paint has come off in places are all just on the chassis surrounding the SEMs and sequencer. Oberheim's preparation of these areas was obviously not up to their usual standard. Those pieces are usually white, and they simply over-sprayed them without preparing the surface well enough. In contrast, look at the black section immediately above the keyboard, which is really good.
All the modules (the important bit) are actually in extremely good condition - and apart from the sequencer having four little knob caps missing, near mint.

It would be simple to respray the bad chassis bits if you wanted. The tolex, keys and case hardware are pretty good for their age. There is no lid. The mains socket has been replaced with a safer IEC one. Voltage (TBC) is UK /European.

It has been tested by Audiocircus and is sounding great."

Programming an ANALOG sound on KRONOS2

video upload by George B

"Just got my new Oberheim OB-X8 and wanted to make one of my favorite sounds on it from the OB-8 days. After doing that, I decided to try to program the Kronos as close to that sound as I could. Check it out!
This OB-X8 has some new features in the page-2 function that really make this interesting. Delays on the LFO destinations, cross modulation and much more. AND the classic Oberheim sound!"

Oberheim TEO-5 vs Sequential OB6 (Tone and filter focus, no talking no fx)

video upload by Infested Alien

"Just a super simple comparison trying to match them a bit to each other. The matching is oriented more towards OB6 since it has least modulation possibilities compared to the TEO5. When it comes to the tone character I've to say OB6 is more in my taste but we are limited with modulation on the OB6 so if you love modulation then TEO-5 is the king :)"
