TEO 5 / Moog Minitaur - Analog Melodic Techno #analogsynth #oberheim #minitaur #volcanubass
video upload by Scott Nellé - Plague Society
"Here's the short version of my most recent video, featuring the Oberheim TEO-5 Desktop Module, Moog Minitaur, Korg Volca nubass, and Behringer JT Mini. Check the Related Video for the full jam."
Roland Chorus Space Echo RE-501 test with Sequential OB-6 [NO TALKING] [with explanatory subs]
video upload by Freedom of Movement
"Roland Chorus Space Echo RE-501 test with Sequential OB-6
🟢 TURN ON CC FOR SUBTITLES EXPLAINING WHAT I'M DOING IN THE VIDEO 🟢
I picked up this RE-501 yesterday and was disappointed when I got it to the studio & turned it on as the tape echo wasn’t really working properly. The tape was jamming & squeaky & there was tons of wow & flutter & distortion - not in a good way either
But! After a thorough clean of the rollers & heads and letting the motor run for a bit it now sounds like this!
Pretty, pretty good
I’m using both A & B outputs so the chorus, delay & reverb are stereo panned. It’ll sound a bit weird in headphones but on speakers it sounds awesome
Gotta say that the 501 sounds vastly superior to the 301 I had until recently. The reverb especially is a marked improvement but in general - aside from the styling perhaps - it’s a step up
I still think the unit needs a proper service: new felts, a new pinch roller … maybe even a new motor … and new tape of course
But for now it’s got just a nice amount of wow & flutter and noise. Sounds good right?
The sequence is coming from the Sequential OB-6. Starts off plain then I introduce some time-synced LFO; bandpass filter, sample & hold/random, clocked to 8th notes"

Oberheim DSX Digital Polyphonic Sequencer SN A42406

"In the dark ages of synthesis, before midi, the questions of sequencing and programming had yet to be answered. A feature folks wanted to have but had yet to be invented. Leave it to the big brains at Oberheim to come to our rescue!
The DSX was released as part of the proprietary Oberheim Parallel Buss system. This allowed users to connect the OB-8, DMX drum machine, and the DSX allowing for easy control and syncing of synths. In addition to controlling these synths, the DSX features 8 CV and Gate outputs to control up to 8 more other analog synthesizers!
The DSX records in realtime the notes and patch changes you create while playing your OB-synth. It can hold up to 6,000 notes! The DSX can store up to 10 different sequences/songs. Each sequence can have 10 polyphonic tracks for multiple OB-synths and DMXs. Patch info including splits and doubles can be stored too. Quantizing, looping, editing, transposing, and sequence merging are a few more features. If you've got any of these classic (pre-MIDI) Oberheim analog OB-synths lying around, the DSX is an easy way to directly control them in a classic way, and without any need for MIDI retro-fits or interfaces."

"Vintage Analog Goodness.. Oberheim Matrix 1000 White Panel in great working condition, no operational issues. It all works great, sounds amazing and looks just stunning! This is just by far the best oberheim for the money. Classic rich pads, strings, brass, basses, leads all for a low price considering how much OB8, OBXA, Xpanders are selling for nowadays. You can edit these with various software editors, apps, or external controllers readily available. Great score for a rare and lush Oberheim!

Vieni Uomo
video upload by Davide Micheli
"This song, titled 'Vieni Uomo,' is inspired by the Italo disco dance music of the 1980s.
This piece was actually recorded using some analog electronic synthesizers and string machines from the 1980s, such as the Crumar Bit99, Crumar Multiman-S, and Solton Programmer 24. The vocal part also features a barely audible Hammond organ background. This part is played along with the String Machine connected to an analog phaser. Other synthesizers I used include the Prophet 6 and the Korg Prologue 16 for some solo parts. For the vocal part, I used the full analog GRP V22 vocoder, which is truly fantastic.
For the drum machine, I used a vintage Dynacord P20-8 bit from the 1980s.
I also used an Oberheim OB-X8 to create an adaptation break before the vocoder part.
This song truly evokes 1980s Italo Disco music, and the sound is typical of that genre.
I'll post a later video detailing the recording process for this song, track by track.
The song is scheduled for release on major streaming platforms on December 3, 2025."

Oberheim DS-2a Sequencer - Quick Demo
video upload by Eric Frampton
"Just got this DS-2a up and running so I thought I'd hook it up to the OB-X and see how it works.
Important note about the operation of the DS-2a: it cannot quantize so, as you'll see, building a repeating sequence can be a bit of a hit-or-miss proposition.
