Matt Barber - Welcome Back! Live DAWless Synth Jam - Oberheim OB-8, Jupiter 6, Juno 6, ESQ1, DW-8000
video upload by
"As I get things back together in the studio and try some different layouts here is a quick live jam of a little funky riff I was playing around with. I ended up playing a similar lead part on the Oberheim OB-8, then the Roland Jupiter 6, and then the Roland VK-7 combo organ over a bass line I forgot to lay down towards the beginning. Kinda fun and chill, definitely some retro 80's sounds....enjoy!

Introducing Oberheim TVS Pro by GForce Software
video upload by GForce Software
"More info at https://www.gforcesoftware.com/produc...
In 1975, Tom Oberheim revolutionised synthesiser design with the original TVS – Two Voice Synthesizer. By combining two SEMs and a keyboard, he introduced true duophony to the world—enabling musicians to play two independent voices simultaneously and explore harmonically rich, evolving soundscapes. It was a bold step forward, embraced by visionaries including Martin Gore, Adrian Utley, Peter Baumann, Lorn, The Prodigy, and Nils Frahm.
Decades later, the TVS Pro modernised that vision, adding a built-in sequencer, extended modulation, and refined controls—all while staying true to its unmistakable sonic DNA.
Now, with the GForce Oberheim TVS Pro plugin, this landmark instrument enters a new era. Developed in collaboration with Oberheim, this recreation captures not only the depth, warmth and character of the original, but also the spirit of innovation that made it extraordinary.

GForce Software Oberheim TVS Pro Review
video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The one and only. The “last great polysynth” of the 80s. Truly a beast that was way ahead of its time. Incredible versatility and flexibility for a 40 year old synth. The programming can be daunting, but once you get the hang of it it’s a breeze. The thing sounds truly amazing."

“Time is Now” Creating an Ambient Track Live Using Sonicware Ambient Zero & Oberheim TEO-5 Synths
video upload by Maria Calfa-DePaul
"I am a big fan of sonicware’s liven offerings and I have several and this is becoming one of my favorites because it’s just it’s got a lot of character. It’s great for using with other synths and it’s got a sequencer and I use this live in the video trying to build up an ambient track and then having the TEO be like the headliner where I can riff on it and have it all worked together. I really enjoyed myself during this. It’s a little hard sometimes multitasking but hopefully I was able to provide you with some entertainment and enjoyment."

"Oberheim 2 voice synthesizer in good working order. Serviced and cleaned by James Walker last week, so all ready for a new home. Cosmetically in good condition other than a bit of tarnishing on the fasteners (see photo). Nice synth, amazing sound - just downsizing and moving. Comes with a plug in transformer/adaptor. Not in second chance Sunday."
