OBERHEIM OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer (1980) *Magic Fly* and Happy 2020!

My last post in 2019. I hope you guys had a good year. When yes than you are lucky. When not, the next will be better surely. I wish all of you a good 2020. Peace and Love.

The track 'Magic Fly' by the French group 'Space' from 1977 was probably one of the first synthesizer tracks that I consciously noticed. These sounds burned into my brain very early on. No idea why.
I wanted to cover the track, but it's actually not a real cover. I interpreted it a little differently and also played it. Everything comes from the #Oberheim #OBXa #Synthesizer , apart from the drums."

Casioheim - How to bring you the 5000$ Oberheim sound in a 200$ Casio CZ synthesizer

Published on Feb 13, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

Short sound tutorial (or more a experiment) that want to show how can bring expensive sounds in cheap synths. It`s all about good sound programming.

The famous Oberheim brass pad sound is one of the most iconic sounds in history of synthesizers. Used by van Halen, ELO, Depeche Mode and many others.

Sure is the Casio CZ no Oberheim. The OB-Xa is fantastic with unique sound. A real classic and analog beauty.
But you can create also on cheap and underrated synths sounds with legendary soul. Try it.

I used a bit Lexicon MPX delay and Roland SRV reverb here."

UVI Ob Legacy - The legendary Oberheim sound for your studio - OB-Xa, OB-X, Matrix

Published on Sep 18, 2017 RetroSound

"(c) 2017 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

In june 2017 I drove over 1200 kilometers with my Oberheim OB-X , the OB-Xa and the Matrix-1000 to Paris in the UVI headquarter for sampling works for the new OB Legacy software. You can find a lot legendary Oberheim sounds in OB Legacy and a lot more.

UVI Ob Legacy
One of the most prolific figures in synthesizer history is the maverick engineer and designer Tom Oberheim. His efforts can be heard across hundreds of albums, decades of pioneering instrument designs, and experienced through conveniences we take for granted on a daily basis including preset memory and MIDI. His influence is as great as any and his designs have stood the test of time better than most, with models in production today that have changed little in over 40 years. The sound of his instruments is distinct and inherently musical, with a character that's often described as "lush" and "massive", and rightly so.

UVI Ob Legacy is the legendary and authentic Oberheim Sound for your studio.
