via the seller: "I bought this one new directly from the Oberheim in 1983. While playing guitar for The Nina Hagen Band, I used it for songwriting, and as a general inspiration tool. It’s noises are all over the tracks on The Hagen Bands 1983 album 'Fearless,' Including her crazy club hit 'New York New York.' I was tapped by Universal to write songs for a film called 'The Breakfast Club.' We set up shop at Oasis Recording Studios for about six weeks I used my new OB-8 nearly every day, writing songs for the film. The main title was called 'Don't You Forget About Me.' by Simple Minds. So... It is upon this exact OB-8 Synthesizer the first whisps and golden threads of 'Don't You Forget About Me' slipped from the speakers, and into our ears to be nailed down for the record. There’s to the pedigree… Now as to it's condition. Factory Midi installed with original page two instructions still intact. (I reprinted a fresh copy of the users manual) The synth has been well cared for, and is in perfect working order."

"The sequencer input mod with a new jack on the back was installed about 6 months ago. The new jack looks and functions perfectly and looks as professional as it gets. This makes this synth a great addition to any modular studio as it can receive and send the sequencer clock."

Fun stuff. Two filters self oscillating with high resonance and some mods.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - MakeNoise Tempi & 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator

Published on Mar 7, 2016 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

"For best sonic quality, please listen on headphones or through nice speakers. My favorite speakers are Genelecs. :) For patch details - Read on...

This patch demonstrates how the MakeNoise Tempi can be used as the foundation for complex timing variations in a very predefined way, which is incredibly useful for intentional composition.

In this patch I have Tempi Channel 1 pulsing the 'Odd' input of the 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator. Tempi Channel 2 is pulsing the "Even" input of the SMR. These are the only 2 that remain consistent in their time - although they are phasing. Channels 3-6 of the Tempi are set to divisions and multiplications of Channels 1 and 2 by factors of 2 and 4. Additionally, Channel 6 is patched to the Tempi MOD Input. During the performance I intermittently activate MOD Mode on Channels 3-6, causing them to rotate.

Tempi Channels 3-5 are sent to the CV Bus of the MakeNoise to trigger Maths, Function, direction and clock of Pressure Points and X-Clock of Rene.

The Quantized CV Out of Rene is sent to the CV Bus and then to 4 voices, all tuned to different harmonies, that I bring in and out with the RxMx and the other mixers. I used Maths and Function as an analog shift register to take these sequenced voices out of parallel motion.

The DPO's Mod Osc is in LFO Mode, and is modulating the waveshape of the STOs, the frequency of the MMG, and Telharmonic Flux.

The 4ms SMR plays the main harmonic structure and foundational rhythmic voice of the piece ( being pulsed by the Tempi ). I am recalling 6 preprogrammed presets, each with different chord voicings as well as EQ settings. I am also unlocking a bass frequency to change the bass line note.
