"Great analog synthesizer
16 voices / 32 oscillators
Lots of modulation options
Serviced by a pro tech.
All electrolytic caps were changed to Nichicon and Rubycon
New ALPS potentiometers (lighter action) on those footprints that were skipping
Bright backlight with no dead pixels
100-240 power supply
And .... the main thing .... THIS ONE WAS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES
This is one of the first 2000-2001 year of manufacture
The synth was babied and never toured"

"I am a music hobbyist, a bassist in fact, and this synth belongs in the hands of a professional keyboard player or producer ... or anyone with more talent than me. I'm sure someday soon I'll regret selling it. But frankly though, I bought it because I couldn't wait for the Behringer UB-Xa any longer. But now that I have the UB, which in no way sounds as beautiful as the OB-X8, I'm selling the OB.
Now that I have the two to compare, the most immediate difference is the build quality of the OB so completely outshines the UB. Next is the tone. The lows and especially the lo-mids are tight and clear on the OB. The UB is a bit boomy or mushy in comparison with a tendency to overdrive without adjustment on the board. The OB also has more preset storage, 128 more locations. However, given my lack of skills, musical and financial needs, I've got to sell the OB. My loss is your benefit."

Breath Controlled Buchla - Making a flute with a synthesizer
video upload by Aaron Goldberg
"Here is the follow up video I promised, briefly explaining and demonstrating the 'flute' patch I discovered recently. This simple patch involves an external input / preamp module with an envelope follower, an oscillator with timbre control / wave shaping and a vca. Adding a noise source as a secondary sound, opening it with a similar envelope, can really add to the illusion that its a flute. I am taking the envelope follower from the aux in, and patching that to amplitude and timbre of the complex oscillator. There is also a pulse generated every time I blow into the mic. The pulse tells a sequencer to advance, changing the note you hear every time you blow into the mic. Thank you for checking out my video! If you are interested, you can see me make improvised music live on twitch at"
Crumar BIT01 | Resonant strings/pads
video upload by Espen Kraft
"Crumar BIT01 - A nice old friend that I've used as a 'texture' synth, meaning it's a great synth to use when most of the other sounds are polished and glossy.
I've sold this unit now, but it lives on in my bank of samples."

Synth Cafè presenta: AC Noises RICORDA
video upload by Synth Cafè
Google translated (original in Italian below):
"RICORDA è il nuovo pedale AC Noises
Capitoli:
00:00 intro
00:39 looper
02:09 freeze
03:08 reverb e resonator
04:29 granulator
05:51 secondary mode
08:13 jam
Sviluppato su un DSP incredibilmente potente, (che spesso viene utilizzato nell'industria dei sintetizzatori eurorack), RICORDA mette a disposizione una moltitudine di parametri per scolpire e modellare il suono.
Ricorda è un effetto stereo che comprende di un riverbero, looper, granulizzatore, freeze, pitch shifter, il tutto modulabile in una modalità secondaria che permette di modificare gli effetti in modo da avere una palette sonora infinita.
Questo pedale sicuramente va a collocarsi nella fascia dove risiedono pedali come l'Hologram Microcosm e il Red Panda Particle.
Un grande punto in più del pedale è sicuramente il suono molto pulito e la posssibilità di allargare l'immagine stereo.
Lo consiglio sicuramente a chi si è un po' stufato dei soliti nomi e per chi vuole sperimentare un po' con questa tipologia di effetti"
