"Out Now - https://www.geosynths.com/ob-x8

Back with another 128 Patches for the fantastic Oberheim OB-X8, this Video demonstrates Patches 97 to 128. While Vol 1 covered some Classic Sounds, Vol 2 is more about Synthesis and leaning into new Shapes and Textures. I've since created my own Multi-FX Plugin (GEOSpace) which has EQ, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay and Reverb and have created 128 Presets to go with all 128 OB-X8 Patches, just add as an Insert to your Host/DAW and select the same names. That's it.

You can find GEOSpace at the following, these 128 FX Presets will be included with Obsession Vol 2 only.

https://github.com/GEOSynths/GEOSpace...

In terms of Sounds, I've concentrated a lot on Pads and Strings and unusual tones, going further with Page 2 Functions and as always, all 128 are demonstrated over 4 Videos. When the 4th is Live, they will be released. V2 Firmware for the OB-X8 needs to be installed."

"The Oberheim Matrix-12 is the synth you've asked us for more than any other, and it's here. Oberheim's most ambitious analogue synthesiser, reborn with modern power.

The Matrix-12 gave Vangelis, Depeche Mode, The Orb and Technotronic some of the thickest pads, sweeps and basses ever recorded. Twelve voices, a fifteen-mode filter and Matrix Modulation, with the routing map printed on the panel because no screen could show it.

This is the only official Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander software instrument, created with Oberheim and Marcus Ryle, the original designer. We modelled the oscillators, filter and envelope shapes against the hardware, then made the matrix visible. Drag from any source to any knob and watch the Flow diagram and Mod Matrix show exactly how each voice is built.

Six keyboard zones with micro arpeggiators, full MPE, four Macros, onboard delay and reverb, and over 570 patches, including 190+ originals from the Matrix-12 and Xpander. The deepest synth Oberheim ever made is now the easiest to understand.

Presented by Alex Ball.

Analogue Soul. Digital Power."

I Own a Matrix-12. GForce Got Closer Than I Wanted.

video upload by Vulture Culture

"I own an Oberheim Matrix-12. GForce and Oberheim have made the first official plugin version of it, so I put the two side by side and tried to break both.

What I found:

VCO drift is identical, which is the thing people actually want from an analog emulation.

Filter FM is where plugins usually fail, Arturia in particular, and it is the most impressive thing here.

All fifteen filter modes are very close, though you generally have to push the resonance further on the software to match.

There are real differences in the noise, in oscillator brightness and in the envelope and LFO times. Some of those might be my 41 year old unit rather than their model.

It does not sound exactly like my hardware. It might sound exactly like the hardware they modelled it on.

DISCLOSURE: GForce paid me to design some of the factory presets for this plugin. They did not ask or pay me to make this video, and they have no control over what I say in it."

Retromulator 2.1 - Oberheim Matrix 1000 Core Audio Demo

video upload by discoDSP

OBERHEIM MATRIX-1000

Six-voice analog rack from 1987 with 1000 patches, built around the Curtis CEM3396 voice chip. The core runs the original firmware on an emulated Motorola 6809 board, which drives six CEM3396 voice models oversampled 2x. Banks 2 to 9 are read from the patch EPROM, all 96 patch parameters are mapped to MIDI CC, and both LFOs can sync to the host tempo or MIDI clock.

Liminal: Synth, Eurorack, Guitar Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Just some music put together using various standalone synthesizers, eurorack modules and guitar equipment. Recently I had to move into a new place after I had recorded most of the sounds. Once settled and equipment was running again, I was able to record a couple more items to finish it up. Much of the track was sequenced from the Squarp Hapax with a couple instruments being played manually. Below is a list of the sound devices used:

Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Surface, Novation Bass Station II, Novation Peak, Korg Opsix, Elektron Digitakt II, Korg Arp2600M, Moog Mother 32, Puremagnetik Etches, Sequential OB-6, Ibanez AS7328 Baritone (Science Amplification Earthling into Two Notes Captor X+)."

"As a long time fan of Star Trek, I was shocked and saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, the actor who played my favorite Star Trek captain, Jean-Luc Picard. This is a quick synth tribute in his memory, based on the opening theme of Star Trek: The Next Generation by Jerry Goldsmith."

Sinister Sounds for Halloween on the Oberheim FVS

video upload by Electro-Classic Orchestra

"A sinister improvisation on a Gilbert & Sullivan opera "The Sorcerer". The song is 'Sprites of Earth and Air' and is played heavily on the Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer (FVS) from 1976 with its incredible state-variable multi-mode filters, one of the first truly polyphonic synthesizers ever made. Also featured are three Moogs, a Third Wave, a D50 and a vocoder!" Polymoog in there as well.

via this eBay listing

"The Oberheim Xpander (model designation XP-1) is a legendary six-voice desktop analog synthesizer released in 1984. It is widely celebrated by sound designers as one of the most flexible non-modular analog synthesizers ever constructed. By pairing rich analog audio components with an innovative digital control logic, the Xpander achieved the deep routing capabilities of a modular system without requiring any physical patch cables.

The Oberheim XK (also known as the OB-Xk) is a programmable MIDI keyboard master controller released in 1985. It does not generate any internal sounds on its own; instead, it was engineered primarily as a dedicated, rugged companion hardware controller for Oberheim’s legendary Xpander and Matrix-12 synthesizer modules.
