The Delay - TC Flashback Triple, Oberheim OB-6, TRex Replicator, Strymon Cloudburst, Ibanez M80M

video upload by thesrabbit

"I was gonna call this "Lords of O'Brien No. 1", as a tribute to the greatest ambient guitar Youtuber, ‪@chordsoforion‬ But I opted for a less facetious and more utilitarian name. That way I can shamelessly shove the highlighted gear list in the title.

I got a TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay recently and holy crap, instant inspiration. A bit of fiddling with the Toneprint editor and I had my 3 stacked delays for the main simulated Frippertronics tape loop. Then I said, well hell, I already have a TC Flashback II, might as well Toneprint a Frippertronics tape loop delay in that box too. So the OB-6 gets the Flashback II, and the guitar gets the Flashback Triple. I made a 4 step polyphonic sequence for the OB-6. The little Roland DP-2 switch cycles through each step. The Tonex hosts a capture of my own Peavey 6505 amp, clean channel with pre-gain at 6. There's a little (ok a lot) of Strymon Cloudburst at the end for the final chef's kiss.

Too much gear and too many parallel signal chains to list, but deep breath here we go...

Guitar: Ibanez M80M (8-string), IK Multimedia Tonex, Guptech Honker overdrive, Morley Little Alligator volume pedal, TRex Replicator tape delay eurorack module (somehow works fine at instrument level), Two Notes Torpedo Captor M+ with Ownhammer 412 Rect Balanced Cab IR, TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay (delay 2 is the tape loop), Strymon Cloudburst Reverb

Synth: Oberheim OB-6, TC Electronic Flashback 2 (tape loop), Audiothingies Doctor A (stereo delay and reverb)

Guitar Synth: Boss SY-300, Strymon Cloudburst Reverb (plugin)

MIDI Mod for iOS adds random delay time shifts to the TRex Replicator via a Kenton MIDI to CV box.

Recorded live, first take! (can't f'ing believe it)

No post processing other than a little bit of the Strymon Cloudburst plugin for the final "glue"

Oberheim DX Full Restoration: How to Add MIDI, Upgrade RAM & Play Live

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"If you want to see how the Oberheim DX looks from the inside, how to clean the buttons, how to upgrade the RAM, and how to add MIDI to this classic drum machine, you're in the right place.

This machine came to me in pretty bad shape. Dirty on the outside, with some faulty buttons, and in serious need of some love. But honestly? It's not that hard to bring one of these back to life if you're careful and you enjoy working with vintage gear. And if you don't — stick around anyway, because it's super interesting to see these machines from the inside.

I'm walking you through the full process: deep cleaning, how to remove and clean the button contacts the right way (spoiler: cleaning the surface does nothing — you need to go under them), installing the Electrongate MIDI board and RAM upgrade so you don't need a battery anymore, and swapping the plastic panels for the beautiful wooden ones from Electrongate.

Big shoutout to Paul White, whose Electrongate videos were a huge reference for this build. I'm just a student passing the knowledge forward — go check his page, I'll leave the links below.

Once everything was back together and fully working, I put on a jacket — because if I'm performing original music for you, you deserve some respect — and played a live jam using the restored Oberheim DX, the Oberheim DMX, Moog Voyager, Rhodes Mark I, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Elektron Digitakt, and the Roland Space Echo RE-201."

Oberheim OB-12 Community Archive

The OBERHEIM OB-12 Community Archive is a new site dedicated the to Viscount Oberheim OB-12. It's an extremely well done site. Be sure to take a look.

It includes:

"Everything known to exist online for the Viscount-made virtual analog (2000), gathered here in one place, free."

via the creator of the site:

"I thought it might be of interest to MatrixSynth readers because it includes something the OB-12 community had wanted for two decades: the official Viscount Service Manual with full schematics (49 pages, 2001), recovered and now freely available, along with the CPU datasheet, every firmware version, the OB12Editor for Win98/ME, manuals, sound banks, the Jexus patches and the press reviews mirrored offline."

Oberheim FVS-1 Custom Built for Ronnie Montrose, Vintage 4 SEMs & 2 Sequencers

via this eBay listing

"Bought this 27 years ago from the keyboardist, Gary Hull, who played keyboard on 2 Montrose albums and also toured with him 1990-94. Gary also modified this Oberheim Four voice for Montrose to add sequencer functions. This Oberheim has 4 great sounding late 70's SEM Units and 2 later model Sequencer modules that are quantized, and output 4 channels to the 4 SEMs. A remote keyboard controlled by the Keyboard Module allows spilts and 4 note polyphony and many options for control. A programmed Expressionist MIDI to CV interface is included so the four voice is also controllable polyphonically over MIDI.
--
The Four SEMs have been calibrated tuned and checked for complete noise free operation in 2026. The keyboard has been leveled and bushings replaced and plays perfectly. In 2026 the power module and output module were restored by Synth Smith, an analog repair specialist with over 30 years working on analog synths. I did not change much from what Montrose had done to this synthesizer. He was well known for his customization skills. I did add VCF controls and pots for all the SEMs so you can control from remote LFO's. The Programmer has never been connected in the Oberheim since I have owned it. In 2026 the Programmer battery was replaced and testing revealed it does work, but is not wired, and wiring it would be a lot of new wiring.

From Harsh To Mellow: Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer

video upload by Insect O.

"I played the Oberheim TEO-5 polysynth at Superbooth in Berlin. This synth goes from harsh, aggressive textures to warm, mellow tones with ease — especially suited for techno and electronic music production. The onboard effects sound great, the crunchy saturation adds serious character, and the classic SEM filter delivers that unmistakable Oberheim flavor. Through-zero FM opens up even more experimental and metallic sound design possibilities."

Manfred from Miltone treats us to a demo of the 4EXP, an impressive and meticulous re-creation of the legendary Oberheim Four Voice.

A Rare First Listen: Four Classic Oberheims

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"I was lucky enough to borrow three beautiful vintage Oberheims from a good friend. Together with my own OB-X, that gave me the rare chance to put four classic Oberheim polys side by side: the OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-8 and EVS.

This is not a polished shootout or a scientific comparison. It is simply a first impression, a first test after the synths came back from major servicing. Just playing, listening and enjoying that unmistakable Oberheim sound.

Huge thanks to my friend for trusting me with these incredible instruments. I’m a lucky man.

In this video:
OB-X
OB-Xa
OB-8
EVS

Four legendary Oberheims in one room. What a sound."

The Sound of Talk Talk - Candy | Vintage Synth Recreation

video upload by RetroSound

"A vintage synth recreation of Talk Talk – Candy from the 1982 album The Party’s Over, performed using original classic hardware synthesizers and electronic drums.

This cover uses the legendary PPG Wave 2.2 synthesizer, Oberheim OB-Xa, Moog Source for bass, and Simmons SDS 8 electronic drums to capture the authentic early 1980s new wave sound of Talk Talk. From shimmering digital textures and warm analog pads to punchy synth bass and iconic electronic percussion, every part was recreated with real vintage instruments.

If you love classic synth pop, new wave, retro electronic music, analog synthesizers, and the unmistakable sound of early Talk Talk, this performance shows the work with the gear from the past.
Check the original track. Written by Mark Hollis."
