One of my favorite tracks from the early 80s.
Human Nature by Michael Jackson from the album Thriller (1982)
Written by Steve Porcaro (Toto)

I used the Roland Juno-60 for the arpeggio and bass (original Jupiter-8), the Oberheim OB-Xa for pads, strings and horn sounds and the Emulator II for the Rhodes and guitar sounds."

Oberheim OB-Xa Branded Behringer UB-Xa Test Unit Complete with Oberheim Music Note Logo

This one is in via Pulcher 72 spotted on subito.it who had the following to say:

"The description says Oberheim made 20 for the testers around Europe. Of course it's a pre-production Behringer UB-XA!"

This likely explains the yellow stickers in this video.

Note the packing slip pictured below also shows Oberheim as the brand and not Behringer. If you remember, Behringer acquired the Oberheim trademark but eventually transfered it back to Tom Oberheim in 2021.

Toto’s Steve Porcaro Shows How He Created the Synth Sounds on Africa, Human Nature, Rosanna, ...

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"In this monumental video, I’m sitting down in Steve Porcaro’s studio for a rare, up-close demonstartions at how one of the true synth legends created some of the most iconic sounds in music history.

What makes this so special is that Steve takes us step by step through the exact synthesizer techniques he used on massive hit records — including Michael Jackson’s 'Human Nature,' Toto’s 'Africa' and 'Rosanna,' as well as classic tracks for Hall & Oates, Don Henley, Donna Summer, and more. He also recreates these sounds on the same model vintage synthesizers he used on the original recordings.

As we dig in, Steve shares his personal approach to synthesis, how he builds multi-dimensional sounds, thinks about atmosphere and texture, and shapes parts so they serve the song emotionally, not just sonically. He also reveals how he writes out synthesizer parts on score paper, treating synths like orchestral instruments and arranging them with real intention.

This isn’t a preset rundown or surface-level demo. It’s a candid, in-studio conversation about process, musical thinking, with hands-on demonstrations from someone who helped define the sound of an era. If you’ve ever wondered how these legendary synth parts were truly made, now you can get it straight from the source, this is a moment you don’t want to miss!"
