OAK Sampler - New Ensoniq ASR-10 Inspired Sampler Workstation Keyboard Synthesizer In the Works
video upload by oak sampler
Meet the upcoming "OAK-S37 Sampling Workstation" keyboard synthesizer.
Playlist with additional details:
1. OAK Sampler Sound Playback and Effects Test
I absolutely love the ASR-10. I’m building a new hardware workstation inspired by the ASR-10 that runs the original OS , effects etc and replicates the HW in a modern form. There will be some updates on the project. This is the boot and general test. Potato speaker recording. #asr10 #90ssampling2. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) Sequencing & Sample Editing
I love the ASR-10. I’m building a new hardware sampler inspired by the ASR-10. It can run the original Ensoniq ASR-10 OS and effects algorithms. This video shows sequencing and sample editing on the OAK Sampler.3. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) vs ASR-10 Sound Comparison
This video compares the OAK-S37 and an the ASR-10 using the same sequence, individual samples, filters, envelopes, and effects.4. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) Loading Original Ensoniq Sample CDs
I recreated “93 ’til Infinity” as a test project using identical files across both systems.
I intend to do a limited first run eventually (no dates yet).

The Jam - Graham Central Station - Sampled From Vinyl
In this video I load projects from the original ASR-10 Ensoniq Sample CD. It shows proper playback of the complex arrangements, accurate instruments and effects on the OAK. Totally 90’s.5. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) vs ASR-10 Effects

In this video it’s shows an comparison of the OAK-S and ASR-10 internal effects.You can find additional details and an FAQ at www.oaksampler.com
The second half demonstrates live effects monitoring. One of my favorite ASR-10 features was using it as a real-time effects processor, and I wanted that preserved in the OAK-S. It uses effects from the Ensoniq CDR-3 CD banks

OBERHEIM FVS w/ Custom Patch Panel by Analog Sweden
This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.
"Vintage Oberheim FVS-1 (Analog Sweden patchbay mod!!)
Fully functional.
It is a fully functional and—aside from the mod—completely original Oberheim 4-Voice FVS-1.
It was modified by the geniuses at Analog Sweden to be "fully patchable," but the original output board (including the faceplate) is tucked away inside the synth, so it can be restored to its original state if desired!"

Oberheim FVS-1 Custom Built for Ronnie Montrose, Vintage 4 SEMs & 2 Sequencers
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
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.

Oberheim FVS-1 in Custom Metal Case 27.5 wide, 23.75 High, 5 deep(inches)

From Abandoned Factory to Sonic Alchemy A Dark Melodic Hardware Performance
video upload by Global Shuffle Dance Music
"We strip the industrial grit of the Syntakt down to its metallic bones, forcing jagged distortion to bleed into haunting, melodic resonance. We are bridging the gap between cold machinery and human emotion, layering raw, percussive chaos against ethereal chords to prove that even the hardest techno possesses a deep, rhythmic soul."
