Oberheim TEO-5 vs OB-6 vs OB-X8 // which synth is BEST?

video upload by Miles Away

"Shootout / comparison of the three high end analog synthesizers from Oberheim / Sequential. Which should you get?

All 3 synths were recorded direct into UAD Apollo 16 interface with no EQ or pre-amp coloring. While I did my best to level match all 3 of the synths, these are analog instruments with a high variance in dymanic range, so at some points, one synth will sound louder than others. For example, the OB-6 sometimes sounds louder than the others, because of its inherently hotter levels driving into its internal mixer, despite reading similar levels on the meter. It's a fine balance to get the levels close, without overcompressing the master audio file, so I went for as transparent of a recording as possible, so keep that in mind if you have issues with level matching.

0:00 - intro, what we are doing today
1:04 - same patch compared on all 3 synths
2:11 - init patch comparison & why the OB-6 sounds so different
2:54 - oscillator section comparison
4:30 - pulse width & modulation workflow differences
7:39 - filter section comparison
11:23 - envelope comparison on a classic PWM string sound
15:50 - patch comparison, classic OB pad sound
18:24 - playing the exact same chord back to back
18:57 - unique features of TEO-5
24:47 - unique features of OB-6
31:20 - unique features of OB-X8
40:33 - TEO-5 sound demo no talking
45:49 - OB-6 sound demo no talking
49:28 - OB-X8 sound demo no talking
55:19 - which one should you buy?
56:52 - my conclusions & thoughts on all 3 synths

At the Mana Tree - ICO Heal - cover version

video upload by Yuki The Synth Dragon

"An ambient cover of the song Heal from the game ICO.

I use the excellent ‪@HologramElectronics‬ Microcosm and the ‪@EricaSynths‬ Nightverb to make an awesome cover of ICO- heal. I used the ‪@AkaiProVideo‬ MPC one + for the piano and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Teo-5 for the flute.

I used the arrangement made by ‪@SebastienSkaf‬ and modified it to fit my time signature and intent for this song. Find the sheet music at • Heal | Ico Piano arrangement"

Hologram Microcosm and Novation Peak fun !

Sequential Trigon 6 vs OB6 showdown !

video upload by Yuki The Synth Dragon

Regarding the wobbly knob, that looks defective to me. I have SN 01091 and the knobs are solid. His is SN 3925. If you have an OB-6 leave a comment with your SN# and whether your knobs are solid or wobbly. If you pick up a new one just check the knobs out of the box, but obviously don't force them. That said, this is an interesting comparison between the two synths.
