Oberheim Matrix-1000 Analog Synthesizer (1987) RetroSound Soundscapes soundbank

Oberheim Matrix-1000 Analog Synthesizer from the year 1987

The small Oberheim with the big sound!
Very underrated analog synthesizer module from Oberheim with six voices, two DCOs per voice, 24 dB low pass filter and complex matrix modulation like the big brothers Matrix-12 and Xpander.

The demo shows some sounds fom the RetroSound soundbank for the Oberheim Matrix-1000, Matrix-6 and Matrix-6R. I used often the Modulation Matrix for complex sounds and the most sounds you can modulate with the wheel in realtime.

Oberheim Matrix RetroSound-Set for Matrix-1000/ 6/ 6R
sound-list:
00 - 39 Pad & String Sounds
40 - 43 Choir & Vocal Sounds
44 - 50 Brass Sounds
51 - 56 Bass Sounds
57 - 71 Lead Sounds
72 - 75 Organ Sounds
76 - 83 Acoustic Sounds
84 - 93 Effect Sounds
94 - 99 Sequencer Sounds

You can load the midi file in your sequencer software, play the file and the synth received the sound data and overwrite the the first sound bank (0-99) with the new sounds.

I will send the soundfile (midi-file SMF) to your mail adress. payment only over paypal.

I play in the demo only single sounds (no multitracking or sound stacking) and I used here a bit Reverb and Delay. Some bass patches are triggered by The OB-Xk arpeggiator.

The sound character of the curtis chip based OB-Xa is very different to the early discrete and SEM based OB-X from the year 1979.
The OB-Xa use the same Curtis (CEM) chips as the Sequential Prophet-5 but the sound is different.
The OB-Xa was available with 4, 6 or 8 voice cards.

Sequential / DSI OB-6 Synthesizer

Published on Apr 4, 2020 Matt Johnson Jamiroquai

Update: At 2:45 Matt Johnson mentions the OB-6 is not an OB-Xa. He's correct of course. The OB-Xa had a switchable 2-Pole and 4-Pole filter. The OB-6 has an SEM 2-Pole based filter that can transition between LP and HP modes with a BP switch. I sold my OB-Xa and picked up an OB-6. They are different. The OB-6 has a certain fuzziness about it while the OB-Xa sounded "tamer/cleaner" to me. I'd recommend this comparison by Retrosound, as well as some additional demos here.

"My views on the fantastic DSI OB-6 plus some sounds I have programmed."

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Oberheim OB-Xa 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer from the year 1980.

part1: some self-made and factory classic OB-Xa sounds (pads, brass, bass, sync-sounds and more)

The Oberheim OB-Xa is one of the greatest analog poly-synths ever. A classic! Van Halen`s powerfull Jump and 1984 Intro sound is the OB-Xa.

The sound character of the curtis chip based OB-Xa is very different to the early discrete and SEM based OB-X. The sound is harder and not so lush. Check my OB-X demo vids! But the OB-Xa sound is more raw, organic and warmer as the the later OB-8. The OB-Xa was available with 4, 6 or 8 voice cards.

Used by: Van Halen, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Gary Numan, Rush, Prince, Vangelis, New Order and much more"

part1: some self-made classic OB-X sounds (pads, brass, bass, sync- and crossmodulation sounds and more)

part2: the features of the OB-X (coming soon)

The Oberheim OB-X is one of the best analog poly-synths ever. A classic! The sound is stunning, organic and very powerful. The sound character (based of the discrete circuits and the SEM design VCF) is different to the later curtis chip based OB-Xa and OB-8.
