"Here’s an update on the WAVE. We have just completed the latest revision, which will now be sent to our beta testers for final approval.
Replicating the unique architecture of the original unit made the firmware development extremely complex. We’re confident we’ve nailed this synth and aim to ship it in a few months. Thank you for your patience. This is one legendary synth."
"A Deep Dive walkthrough and demo of the groove synthesis 3rd wave. It's the longest demo I've ever made because there's so much to look at. Hopefully someone will stick through to the end!! (there's a rather nice sounding demo to finish)"
"For the upcoming fulsome demo of the OAM Time Machine we’re opening up the patch cables to include your sounds and music patched into the Time Machine multi tap delay module. I’ll be making the demo as usual but with added musical and sonic interludes with YOUR AUDIO. Letting you hear the module on your work while also adding a wider range of examples to the video with full credit to those that send in their files.

"Xiaoyu players are a group that is keen on sharing their performances and exchanging gameplay, but we have neglected to organize them. The last time we made a collection of Xiaoyu players was 2 years ago. This time we finally did it again. In the future, we welcome everyone to contribute, so that Heshao's platform can become everyone's stage and let our voices be heard!"
So the @Oberheim team have let us all in for an unexpected and very exciting surprise! The newly released Firmware 2.0 has taken what was an incredible instrument to completely new levels!
Multiple Wave Shape Selection/Combinations - adding to the OB-X8's sonic capabilities!
An additional 4 Pole Bass Compensated resonant filter (which sounds amazing!)
New Doubles+ & Split+ Banks, which allow independent editing and saving of patches without the need to point them towards single sounds in the main banks!
Binaural Mode! - YES Binaural Mode!
MPE Compatable
Poly Chain for up to 4 units which would give the user 32 voices of pure OB goodness! and much more!
I invested in the OB-X8 desktop which now gives me 16 voices of incredible sound! - This video is really just to let you hear the Poly Chain & Binaural sound in action,
it's only my first day playing with this new firmware, but thought you would all love to hear how it actually sounds.
Video is completely dry, no effects, just a little bit of compression and limiting to catch any peaks.
It was raining yesterday, so I took the Ambient Ø outside and made music as the mood took me.
The ambient music that is created by mixing the surrounding environmental noises with the sound of the Ambient Ø captures and records the exact moment, so it's like a sound diary, which is fun.
