Programming an ANALOG sound on KRONOS2
video upload by George B
"Just got my new Oberheim OB-X8 and wanted to make one of my favorite sounds on it from the OB-8 days. After doing that, I decided to try to program the Kronos as close to that sound as I could. Check it out!
This OB-X8 has some new features in the page-2 function that really make this interesting. Delays on the LFO destinations, cross modulation and much more. AND the classic Oberheim sound!"

Oberheim TEO-5 vs Sequential OB6 (Tone and filter focus, no talking no fx)
video upload by Infested Alien
"Just a super simple comparison trying to match them a bit to each other. The matching is oriented more towards OB6 since it has least modulation possibilities compared to the TEO5. When it comes to the tone character I've to say OB6 is more in my taste but we are limited with modulation on the OB6 so if you love modulation then TEO-5 is the king :)"

It belongs to a famous french producer who recorded many hits with it"

Original SEM vs Behringer—Which Reigns Supreme?
video upload by Memetune Studio
"A basic comparison between a vintage Oberheim SEM and a Behringer 2-XM
The idea is to see if the VCO, VCF and envelopes sound and behave the same, or are there subtle differences that mean that I won't be selling my Four Voice any time soon 😉"

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."
