Oberheim OB-X8 - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Oberheim OB-X8 finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A sound bank comprising 64 patches (8 full groups) for instant inspiration, this set was painstakingly crafted to bring the absolute best out of this fantastic instrument. I was blown away by the quality of tone in this synthesizer, and the sounds speak for themselves.

Recorded completely dry with no effects or processing.

CME XKey Gets an Update

Press release follows:

"ESI masters mobile MIDI controller keyboard market, introducing new 2024 models of Xkey 25 and Xkey 37 in close collaboration with Artesia Pro

LEONBERG, GERMANY: working in close collaboration with San Diego, CA, USA-headquartered electronic musical instruments and music production equipment specialist Artesia Pro, professional and semi-professional audio equipment vendor ESI is proud to introduce the new 2024 models of the already acclaimed Xkey 25 and Xkey 37 — famed for creatively combining portable, ultra-thin, rugged, brushed aluminium metal casings with polyphonic aftertouch to create the ultimate mobile MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) controller keyboards capable of going wherever their users’ music might take them — as of July 2…

So what, exactly, is new about the 2024 models of the Xkey 25 and Xkey 37 mobile MIDI controller keyboards, then? They are engineered with an exceptionally stable USB-C connection to ensure seamless, class-compliant interfacing with current PCs, Macs, and mobile devices for starters. Then their full-sized keys offer not only amazing response and velocity sensitivity but also provide polyphonic aftertouch, affording musicians access to unparalleled expressive capabilities. It is also fair to say that their intuitive smart buttons enhance playability, providing instant access to MODULATION and SUSTAIN functions. Furthermore, Xkey 37 boasts an adapter cable for 5-pin MIDI OUT, as well as connections for EXPRESSION and SUSTAIN pedals.

But both Xkey 25 and Xkey 37 include licences for Bitwig’s Bitwig Studio 8-Track — a trim and effective DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) with which to start producing, performing, and designing sounds like a pro — and Steinberg’s WaveLab LE — an easy-to-use mastering and audio editing software to turn computers into an audio analysing, editing, and publishing studio — for PC and Mac, as well as Steinberg’s Cubasis LE — a compact version of the multi- award-winning, professional music studio app, providing the same look and feel of its bigger brother, Cubase — for iOS. In addition, Xkey 25 and Xkey 37 users gain access to robust cross-platform editing software, enabling comprehensive customisation of their MIDI controller keyboard’s parameters, plus ESI’s esteemed multi-client, multi- device MIDI driver for Windows.

“We are very excited that we have been able to work with the feedback from the existing Xkey user community when developing the new models.” So says ESI Audiotechnik CEO Claus Riethmüller, justifiably proud of his company’s latest collaborative achievement — advancing already acclaimed mobile MIDI controller keyboards to master a hotly contested market with new 2024 models made possible by working in close collaboration with Artesia Pro.

The new 2024 models of the Xkey 25 and Xkey 37 MIDI controller keyboards will initially start shipping in Europe — with an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of €149.00 EUR and €249.00 EUR, respectively — in July, followed by a global release about a month later.

"If the history I read about the numbering these is correct (starting with 1001), this is the 94th (see photo) Multimoog of the 1,000 or so ever made! I bought it from its original owner and has been used in studio ever since. It was serviced less than 2 years ago and is in 100% working order!"
