MFB Synth II - this is the case when you shouldn’t judge by appearance. Yes, cheap plastic elements are used for external design, but inside it is quite an adult instrument with a set of everything necessary and even more. The synthesizer is monophonic,...
As the true MFB tradition goes, Schlagzwerg is a combination of a drum machine/step sequencer: cute and very analog inside. It perfectly fits the desktop neighboring other instruments, and the interface hides many features. In the heart of the drum...
The second version of Dominion is completely identical to the first one, with a single, but significant, difference in the filter section. The SED version included two voltage controlled filters (VCF): The first is identical to Dominion X. It is a...
Polymath is a classic representative of semi modular synthesizers and, in this case, it has more functionality options than many fixed modular systems do, and of course the cost corresponds the capabilities. This paraphonic keyboardless synthesizer, i.e....
It is a kind of monophonic version of Prophet 5 (referring to the third revision, with indiscrete VCOs). It has a standard "prophetic" structure: an analog controlled by a microprocessor. Unlike Prophet 5, Intel 8021 was chosen as a microprocessor in Pro...
In 2009 Tom Oberheim decided to revive SEM module which was released in 1974 becoming a real classic. In the modern edition almost all functional blocks have been preserved without any introduction: Two discrete voltage controlled oscillators (VCO)...
Reconstructed and prepared to work in modern conditions, an analog monophonic synthesizer module. Signal path, comparing to the original module of 1974 year of production, remained almost unchanged. Several details that are no longer available have been...
The older model in the line of modern SEM modules, combines all the additional options. For interaction with modular systems there are 21 CV inputs/outputs (3.5 mm jacks). There’s a MIDI-CV converter so that it could work with MIDI equipment. It is based...
In 1984 Oberheim tried to assemble a modular system in a relatively small housing with the ability to quickly and easily integrate with other devices. The result was Xpander which combines the flexibility of a modular system with the ease of controlling...
In the 70s Tom Oberheim became famous as a talented inventor of guitar effects. Its ring modulator and phase shifter, produced under the Maestro brand, were real bestsellers. At the same time, Tom was the official dealer of ARP synthesizers in Los...
