📩 Mail: info@synthonia.com

Ambient Exploration for Oberheim OB-12 is a custom sound bank featuring 54 Programs created for ambient, cinematic and atmospheric electronic music.

This demo presents a smooth and musical side of the Oberheim OB-12, with sounds focused on deep ambient pads, evolving textures, airy layers, soft choir-like tones, cinematic colors and melodic soundscapes.

The collection is designed for players and producers who want the OB-12 to deliver spacious, emotional and performance-ready sounds without moving into extreme FX-only programming. The bank keeps a coherent ambient identity while offering warm pads, darker atmospheres, vocal-style textures, motion-based sounds and wide synth layers.

Reverb, delay and modulation are used to create depth and movement, giving each Program a more immersive character for chords, slow melodic parts, soundtrack cues, ambient passages and experimental electronic arrangements.

Ambient Exploration is a focused sound bank for Oberheim OB-12 users who want a more expressive, spacious and cinematic ambient palette."

One To Watch: Leona Jacewska - EBM, Italo & Retro-Futurism (Electronic Beats TV)

video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this Electronic Beats One To Watch episode, we meet Berlin-based Polish artist Leona Jacewska and step inside her world of electronic music.
Formerly known as Charlie, Jacewska has developed a distinctive sound shaped by EBM, synthwave and early ’80s Italo, combining driving rhythms and retro-futuristic synth textures with her own vocals. With a background in classical piano, years spent DJing and a deep involvement in the electronic music scenes of Kraków and Berlin, her approach brings together different sides of electronic music culture.
In this video, Leona takes us through her creative process, how she approaches writing and performing electronic music, the interaction between different pieces of hardware, and why working outside the computer continues to play such an important role in her creative process.

Special thanks to Colin & Barbara Fraser - www.sequentix.com"

Oberheim TEO-5, Moog Minitaur, Volca Keys Analog Cybersynth

video upload by Scott Nellé - Plague Society

"As I close in on 1000 subscribers, I hope you'll join for the journey! Like and subscribe if you're new here and you enjoy hardware synth demo tracks. This is a sort of Cybersynth track played on three analog synths at very different price points. It's sequenced in my DAW, along with drums also from the DAW because I ran out of table space! The main synth here is the Oberheim TEO-5, playing a factory preset. In the intro it's playing a pluck, a lead, and a bass note across the five voices. Lead and bass get shifted to other synths later in the track. After the first time through, I add a ping-pong delay from the Zoom MS-70CDR+.

The main rolling bass comes from the Moog Minitaur straight into the DAW. No effects on the Minitaur this time, just the raw sound.

Mid way through the track the Korg Volca Keys takes over lead duties playing a patch with a fast LFO modulating the cutoff frequency. It's running through my Keeley Caverns V2. As a goth, I needed the special glow in the dark edition with bats and spiders on it, of course."

What is Vox Humana?

video upload by George B.

"As an organ technician, Vox Humana has always been an organ stop. A sound from the Reed family of organ sounds that imitated the human voice. So when a viewer of a video I made about string ensemble sound said it sounded like a Vox Humana, I didn't get the connection. After I asked him to send me some examples he did. Gary Numan Cars was one of those examples. Well, the lead sound at the beginning does sound like a string ensemble sound. So In this video I examine this sound and discuss it's origin."

Oberheim Service Notes in Binder

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

"Oberheim Service Notes from 1980's in Oberheim 3 Ring Binder
These documents comprise an official Oberheim issued compilation of Authorized Service Notes.

These are NOT Oberheim Technical Service Manuals.

They are Engineering Change Orders (ECO's) which are mostly circuit updates.

Each ECO has been implemented over time to improve the performance of a particular Oberheim Model.

They have been grouped to include all the changes to a particular model.

The OB-Xa Bulletins for example are grouped into the 100 series; The Expander is the 600 Series.

One would still refer to the actual Oberheim Service Manuals to actually perform these updates.

View this binder as an Addendum to each of the Service Manual models on the list.

The Bulletins cover:

Model_____ECO-Nmbr

OB-Xa_____100-145

DSX_______201-217

DMX_______301-338

OB-8_______402-442

DX_________501-512

Xpander_____602-631

DX-MIDI_____703-705 -after SN Q63603

Matrix-12_____805

Matrix-6______901-906_(2-901's-Maybe 2nd one SB907? 2 different dates)

XK__________1001-1002

DPX-1_______1102-1110, (Also 1101-1105 Dates again)

Prommer_____1201

There are no OB-Sx Service Notes.

There may be a couple of Service Notes missing. Either they went missing or were never there.

I used to be an Authorized Oberheim Service Center, but Oberheim went out of business

and resurrected as ECC Oberheim, then I believe went out a 2nd Time.

I lost on that deal - due to Unreimbursed Warranty Claims.

The package weighs over 6 LBS. which is charged as 7 LBS per USPS."

Oberheim 4/2-voice/SEM Catalog

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

via this Reverb listing, also on eBay.

See the seller's other items for more.

"OK, this is one of the holy grails of vintage Synthesizer-Literature. In the 30 years of collecting synth-literature I only saw this catalog twice. There is another Oberheim Catalog from 1978 (8/4/2 Voice) which is much less rare. I guess this Oberheim catalog was only foreseen for dealers and universities. The price reflects it's rarity but I'm open to fair offers as always, the price will also be adapted as long it's not been sold, so keep watching this item if the price is too high for you now . I'm only shipping this with a tracking-option hence the higher shipping-costs,it would be an immense shame if this catalog gets lost in mailing traffic somewhere. This Oberheim catalog is for the real collector and could be your only chance in life to own this piece :)

For sale is an Oberheim 4/2-voice/SEM Catalog from 1975 (!)

This is your chance to own this original Oberheim Catalog which contains information and picture's of the 4/2 Voice and SEM Oberheim synthesizers. It also contains info and pics of the early Oberheim Products of the early 70's when Oberheim started as a company as there are the stand-alone Voltage Controlled Filter, Phasor and Digital and Mini Sequencer.

This is a must-have for any vintage synthesizer/Oberheim collector as these are getting very hard/impossible to find these days.

This catalog has no highlighting or underlining in it. This catalog has 1 stamp and 1 sticker on it. This original Oberheim catalog is in very good condition, see the picture's for more detail."

Daft Punk / J-Dilla / MachineDrum Sounds, Inside a LinnDrum. Da funk

video upload by Program 17

"This is the exact drums Daft Punk sampled for Da Funk, J-Dilla Drums, and Elektron Sounds inside the Linn drum. I made the EPROMs using a Oberheim Prommer. It was not an easy task. But I took layered drums. Sampled them, turned them to binary, then program them for the Linn drum. I loved daft punk growing up. I’m from Detroit. I use to hang around J-Dilla at the time. I owned a Linn drum since I was a teenager. It was my dream to program sounds for a Linn drum. I spent thousands of hours programming a Linn drum and often times wondered how to make my Linn drum sound like daft punk. Well I did it. Inside of using a SP-1200, these are the sounds inside a Linn drum.

Kick and snare are the daft punk drums.
The hat is Machine drum.
Kicks from a machine drum are in the toms and congas.

The J Dilla claps and snares are the same exact method J Dilla would use on his Drums. After reading the book “dilla time” I was inspired to make the drums a little bit off. If you look at the actual original binary files of the Linn Drum on a spectral graph or analyze the way form, you will notice that the drums are not perfect. Prince always said you need air to make it an instrument so I gave the samples a little bit of room in the beginning so it kind of sounds off but it’s not off because you can program the timing with the pitch now exactly like a clap trap, which is ironic because that’s what I heard where the Drum clap originally came from.

The Cars - Hello Again | 80s Vintage Synth Cover | Moog Prodigy & Oberheim OB-Xa

video upload by RetroSound

"The Cars – Hello Again recreated with authentic 80s vintage synthesizers and drum machines. Originally released on the iconic 1984 album Heartbeat City and written by Ric Ocasek.

For this cover I used the Moog Prodigy for the bass and sync lead sounds, while the Oberheim OB-Xa provides the lush pads and organ textures. Drums are created with the iconic LinnDrum, with additional percussion from the E-mu Emulator II.

If you love The Cars, 80s New Wave, Synth Pop, Vintage Analog Synthesizers, and classic electronic music, this performance is for you.

Gear Used
• Moog Prodigy – Bass & Sync Lead
• Oberheim OB-Xa – Pads & Organ
• LinnDrum – Drums
• E-mu Emulator II – Percussion

This cover is a tribute to the incredible production and atmosphere of the original recording, combining authentic 1980s synthesizers, sampler technology, and classic drum machines.

The goal of this production was to recreate the authentic sound and atmosphere of the mid-1980s using original hardware instruments."

The Drum Machine That Was Too Big to Handle | Oberheim Stretch DX

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"There's a drum machine from 1983 that was intended to sound like a real drum similar to the Linndum — rolls, flams, off-the-beat feel. But the real story is bolted to its side, and most people have never seen one.

The Oberheim Stretch DX is the machine almost nobody talks about — the expansion that turned a 6-voice box into something else entirely. Here's how it happened, and what it can still do.

⏱️ CHAPTERS
00:00 — The drum machine that didn't want to be a machine
00:38 — Oberheim DMX: the little brother that came first
01:20 — 18 sounds, EPROM cards & the idea that predicted sample packs
02:00 — Inside the DX: sequences, quantize & the swing mode
02:40 — Rear-panel tuning & individual outputs (why 6 voices matters)
03:10 — The Stretch DX: the bolt-on nobody expected
03:40 — Installing a Stretch: soldering irons & ribbon cables
04:00 — Why the DX & Stretch DX faded — and what they left behind
04:20 — Let's make some beats
