"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer from the year 1979. The SEM based 12dB VCF and the discrete structure make the unique sound of this legend. Organic like a polyphonic Minimoog. A dream of a analog synth!

part3 and last part: some self-made OB-X retro-sounds
FX: Lexicon MPX for delay and reverb

part2: demo of some features (not all) of the OB-X [below]

part1: with some self made classic OB-X sounds [below]

The OB-X is my favorite analog poly-synth ever. The sound is absolute different to the curtis chip based OB-Xa, OB-8, Prophet 5 and Jupiter-8. Awesome! Stunning!"

DSI OB-6 (2016) vs. Oberheim OB-Xa (1981) Analog Synthesizer

I have programmed a few of my favorite OB-Xa sounds on the OB-6 for a comparision video. I used only settings that you can find on both synths.

The OB-6 fx routing is on bypass.

no external fx or compression. You can hear only the raw sound from both synths."

One of my favorite songs from the mid 80s. So moody.
Kenny G - Songbird from the year 1986
Produced by Preston Glass


I used here the Oberheim OB-Xa for all synth pads and string parts like in the original song. And I used the Yamaha Reface CP for the Rhodes sound and the arpeggio. The soprane sax is made with the Emulator II sampler. Sure not so dynamic like a real sax.

The Oberheim OB-X Analog Synthesizer (1979)
For me one of the best synthesizers ever made. I use the OB-X many years and I had never technical problems. The sound is very different to the later curtis chip based OB--Xa. But I like both.
My OB-X is a eight voice. Enjoy some sounds."

My favorite song from the Electric Light Orchestra from the Album TIME (1981)
Journey to my childhood. ✨
In the early 1980s, my father was lucky to get an AMIGA license album from ELO. It wasn't easy in the GDR. The album was my first contact with synthesizer sounds. The initial spark, so to speak, long before New Wave music aroused my interest. I kept putting the record on and the songs burned into my brain.

I used here the Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer for the pads, string sounds and the main synth riff. The bass is made with the Moog Taurus.
And I used the Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus for the vocoder voices and string/choir sounds . The piano sound is made with the Yamaha Reface CP"
