Designers talk: OB-X8, and how it came to be.
video upload by Oberheim Official
"Since it was introduced in May 2022, industry acclaim has been heaped upon OB-X8 as one of the most authentic recreations of a vintage synth ever engineered.
But what thought process is behind the million design decisions involved in a vintage recreation project like this? In this roundtable style discussion, Tom Oberheim (Founder, Oberheim Electronics), Marcus Ryle (OB-X8 Co-Designer, Oberheim Engineer 1980 - 85), Tony Karavidas (Lead Hardware Engineer Sequential/Oberheim) and the late, great Dave Smith (Founder, Sequential and OB-X8 co-designer), talk through trade-offs, design philosophies, and the overall approach that allowed them to produce this amazing instrument.
0:31 What is the OB-X8?
3:44 What gave each OB synth its sound?
6:12 How do you match to a vintage synth?
8:25 Why are Page 2 features important?
9:58 How does OB-X8 differ from the originals?
12:48 What's coming from Oberheim in the future?"
Synth excerpt from Always Rivalled (@No Man's Island)
video upload by Rune Flobakk
"Small excerpt from a new song, Always Rivalled, I am performing with my band @No Man's Island . Wanted to test out my recently acquired LinnDrum, and perform a multitrack one-take by routing the individual outs from the drum machine through a (also recently acquired) @Erica Synths Matrix Mixer, in order to flexibly assign drums to their own input channels. The polysynth parts are played on an Oberheim Matrix-12, and the bass on a John Bowen Solaris. All sounds and effects is generated 'outside the box' (not using any plugins), and only some mixing levelling and EQ is done post-recording.
The pink pedal you get a glimpse of in the beginning is a @Poly Effects Beebo, which I also use for live playing. Recording is done with an Allen & Heath Qu-16 into Logic on Mac.
The full song also includes vocals, guitars, electric bass, and drums."

"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been professionally serviced and with some restoration. As the title says, this one has the mLab Midi box plus the newer, Techsmechs TM-8 Keyboard. This keyboard is a huge improvement compared to the original. Please check the Midisoft.De website for the midi specifications. This midi kit is much less invasive than other kits as you do not need to add any midi ports/holes to the unit. It plugs directly into the "computer interface" on the back of the OB-Xa."
