Erebus Grimm - DAWless Jam (TEO 5, Deluge, Taiga, DFAM, Mother 32, B Drum, Sub H, NYX)
video upload by Oakland Ghosts
"I wanted to create a dark sort of melancholy. A fall season sound.
This one started with a patch I built on the TEO 5, and very strange patch on the Taiga. I stole one of the oscillators from the taiga to build a dual oscillator patch on the Mother 32 and then got weird with percussion on the DFAM and the Bastle Drum.
Jim came in and nailed some atmospheric guitars - no easy task for a song that was all vibe no chord progression- Ram Das samples to keep it moving forward, and a @johnnybakecake mix to lock in the melancholy vibe and bring it all together.

Oberheim DMX Factory MIDI & Memory Expansion + Anvil Case + Synthchaser Battery Eliminator
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"The Oberheim DMX is a legendary vintage drum machine known for its punchy, organic 8-bit sampled drum sounds that defined countless hit tracks of the 80s, from New Order to Run-D.M.C. With its iconic swing, individual outputs, and rock-solid build, it delivers the classic analog-meets-digital groove that modern gear can’t replicate.
This DMX is in great condition and includes the factory MIDI and Memory Expansion board. The "Play" button is black instead of the usual white. The DMX includes a flight case that's in good condition.
This DMX was serviced in September 2025 by Synthchaser. Sliders and pushbutton switches were cleaned, and the Synthchaser Battery Eliminator was installed, so songs and sequences are saved without the need for a battery that poses leakage risks and requires periodic changing by a synth tech."

Design Philosophy of Every Oberheim Synthesizer with Legend Marcus Ryle
video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music
"Marcus Ryle is one of the great heroes of synthesizer history. At Oberheim in the early ’80s, he worked side-by-side designing with Tom Oberheim on legendary instruments like the DSX Digital Sequencer, the OB-Xa and OB-8, the DMX drum machine, and the groundbreaking Xpander and Matrix-12 synthesizers. These innovations revolutionized electronic music and still define the sound of a generation.
In this video, Marcus shares the inside story of Oberheim’s design culture—why certain features appeared on some synths and not others—and how those choices shaped the future of music.
Beyond Oberheim, Marcus co-founded Alesis, where he helped create the groundbreaking ADAT digital recorder, Quadraverb and HR16 drum machine... and later Line 6, where he pioneered digital modeling amps and effects, including the legendary POD. He also played a pivotal role in helping Tom Oberheim reclaim the Oberheim name, and he continues to be actively involved in the design of today’s newest Oberheim instruments—ensuring the spirit of innovation carries forward.
Few designers have influenced so many eras of music technology—Oberheim, Alesis, Line 6, Sequential, Focusrite and now the reborn Sequential/Oberheim. Marcus Ryle’s story is a masterclass in how his innovation changed music forever."

Ambient exploration with the Oberheim TEO 5 (3rd Arp)
video upload by Wingo Shackleford (Mike R.)
"This is the kind of synthesizer you can play one chord on and just luxuriate in the thick warm tones, tweaking the knobs forever. "Knob-per-function" instruments are the best to interact with. You get lost in the endless worlds of sound. A real joy to play. Pure vibes.
The aura of the synth is also being enhanced by an OBNE Dark Start lofi reverb. The newest stereo version of this FX pedal is a true work of art. Both visually and aurally.
Ride the cosmic waves...

Oberheim Two Voice + Tubbutec MIDI (Sequences)
video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics
"OBERHEIM TWO VOICE + TUBBUTEC MIDI just installed! The @tubbutec uniMatrix Midi kit adds filter control for each SEM independently, and it’s great being able to use a modern midi controller with such an early vintage synth.
Shoutout to Rob Rosen for figuring out the SEM filter controls/making the installation manual for this kit!
The Two Voice/FVS is one of my top 3 favorite vintage synths of all time. This two voice has been fully overhauled and it sounds incredible!
If you have a vintage synthesizer that needs midi or repaired/restored please reach out through our website! www.synthtailorelectronics.com"

Oberheim OB-6 - Sound Demo
video upload by TheChrisVella
"A full sound demo of my favourite presets on the Oberheim OB-6 analog synthesizer.
I run through a wide variety of presets to showcase the lush pads, warm basses, sharp leads, and classic Oberheim textures this synth is known for. No talking, just pure sound so you can hear exactly what the OB-6 can do.
Perfect if you’re curious how this synth handles different tones, or if you’re considering adding it to your studio.

Oberheim DMX 8-Voice Drum Machine
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"The Oberheim DMX is a classic digital drum machine introduced in 1981 by Oberheim Electronics. It became one of the most iconic drum machines of the early 1980s, particularly influential in hip-hop, electro, and pop music
🔧 Key Features:
12-bit digital samples: The DMX used actual sampled drum sounds stored in EPROM chips, giving it a realistic, punchy character that distinguished it from analog drum machines like the Roland TR-808.
Sounds: It included individual samples for kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, claps, cowbell, etc. The samples could be swapped out using different EPROMs.
8-voice polyphony: You could play up to 8 drum sounds at once.
Individual outputs: Each drum sound had its own output jack, allowing for separate processing and mixing.
Swing and quantization: The DMX had adjustable swing, making its grooves feel more human.
Tight MIDI sync and clocking: It could sync with other gear via MIDI (on later models), DIN sync, or analog clock pulses.
Sequencing: Patterns and songs could be programmed in step or real-time mode, with memory for multiple patterns and songs.
🎧 Sound Character:
Punchy and dry, with a distinctive ’80s sheen.
The snare and clap are especially famous—used heavily in early rap and electro.
It had a more realistic, “studio drummer” feel than analog machines, making it ideal for producers aiming for a more polished sound
This unit has a toggle and button on top and button which we are not sure of the function. Never used it."
