Oberheim OB-X8 - FM Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"Pushing the classic Oberheim sound to new frontiers, the FM Sound Bank for the OB-X8 takes advantage of the expanded functionality of this synth to create complex and musical FM tones not previously possible in the OB series.

The key difference lies in the fact that you now have control over the FM index (amount). In the OB-X there was only an on/off button for X-Mod, which would engage FM at full blast. With exponential FM on an analog synth, this meant that the tuning of the voices wouldn't match, and there was no way to finely dial in the tuning of the oscillators. On the OB-X8 this fine tuning is possible, as well as precise control over the levels of the oscillators, for detailed timbrel blending.

A bank of 32 patches which all utilize the audio rate "X-Mod" functionality of the OB-X8. These patches place an emphasis on "digital" types of sounds, a new sonic frontier for an OB synth.

Patches load into the OB-SX Bank, groups 8-11. Requires firmware 2.0 or higher.

Recorded completely dry, with no effects or processing."

Oberheim OB-X8 - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Oberheim OB-X8 finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A sound bank comprising 64 patches (8 full groups) for instant inspiration, this set was painstakingly crafted to bring the absolute best out of this fantastic instrument. I was blown away by the quality of tone in this synthesizer, and the sounds speak for themselves.

Recorded completely dry with no effects or processing.

Arturia CS-80 V4 - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Arturia CS-80 V4 finds its inspiration in synthesizer sounds found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprising 30 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of the original Yamaha CS-80 analog poly synth.

Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

** Note: this bank is for the newer "V4" version of the plug-in. These patches will not work on previous versions. **

Arturia Matrix 12 V - Sound Bank '85

video upload by Polydata

"The last great analog polysynth. The Oberheim Matrix-12 was a masterpiece of sound and engineering, and the Arturia Matrix-12 V is the only plug-in emulating this landmark instrument.

A bank of 30 patches drawing inspiration from synthesizer sounds found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s. The goal was to highlight the beautiful and unique sound of this instrument. I've always loved the tone of this plug-in - it has it's own sonic character while still sounding like an Oberheim, and it's unlike anything that came before or after it.

Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

___

That's one voice board of the OB-X. Interesting concept that could be applied to other synth voice boards. Definitely want to keep a soft brush duster around, or a clear decksaver type cover might work. It would be kind of cool to know/imagine the electricy flowing through the components while playing.

"A quick video showing some 'digital' type patches I made on my Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 rev 3.2. Obviously a digital synth has a hugely expanded sonic palette from an analog one, but it was fun to see how much some of these patches can evoke and emulate that kind of early digital sound."

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Universal Audio PolyMax finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprising 35 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of classic vintage synthesizers. PolyMax has excellent tone while keeping one of the best parts of using vintage synths: a clear and simple interface.

ASM Hydrasynth - Sound Bank '79 - Vintage Patches

video upload by Polydata

"A bank of 50 patches for the ASM Hydrasynth drawing inspiration from synthesizer sounds found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s. The goal was to squeeze as much analog juice out of this synth as possible, primarily working within the constraints of synthesizers of that era. Making these patches took quite some work, but I didn't want to stop until the sounds really embodied the tone and feel of vintage synths.

These patches are made for instant inspiration. I spent a lot of time creating these so you can just turn on the synth and get to work. They sound great on their own, or you can use them as a starting point to tweak for any scenario.

GForce Oddity3 - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the GForce Oddity 3 finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprised of 30 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to highlight the raw analog tone and organic behavior of this instrument, primarily working within the constraints of the original ARP Odyssey, adding polyphony where it enhanced the patch. It would be wrong to view this as another basic vintage mono synth - this instrument has a feature set that can create unique and beautiful tones. With the updated enhancements and options like the 3 historic filter revisions, the possibilities are vast and the tone is excellent.
