Keeping track of the success of his first synthesizer and willing to create a new product, Tom Oberheim simply combined two SEM modules with a keyboard and a basic sequencer putting them into one housing. This made it possible to get a duophonic...
2 Voice Pro is the favorite creature of Tom Oberheim. It almost completely replicates the set of functions introduced in the model released in 1975. "Almost" means that the synthesizer received some additional functions to the set of the original ones....
4 Voice is a semi-modular analog polyphonic synthesizer, assembled and based on the four SEM modules. Thus, the synthesizer incorporated eight voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO), two per voice, four controlled filters, four VCA and ADS envelope...
Combined into one housing, eight SEM modules feature sixteen voltage-controlled oscillators (eight voices per each of the two VCOs), eight controlled filters, eight controlled amplifiers with ADS generators that can be configured individually. All...
Matrix 12 is a programmable analog polyphonic synthesizer with the functionality of the modular system. It represents two Xpander modules combined into one housing with a five-octave dynamic keyboard. The control panel is identical to Xpander one, with a...
This small analog monophonic synthesizer strongly influenced the sound of pop music of the 1980s. The main feature that explains the popularity of OB-1 - the ability to save settings in one of eight presets. All functional blocks are built on discrete...
OB-8 is the last representative of the classic OB series – it’s an improved version of the OB-Xa synthesizer. OB-8, as well as the whole series of vintage OBs, is built on using voice cards, but unlike its predecessors it was produced with a fixed number...
The synthesizer module, designed by Donald Buchla (Tom Oberheim did not participate in the development) to recreate the sound of two legendary families of synthesizers - Moog and Oberheim. The name is the abbreviation of Oberheim-Moog. Ob-Mx is based on...
OB-SX is the cheaper and lighter version of OB-X. Just like its "big brother" it was based on a modular system and was produced with two, four or six voice cards. But the cards are not interchangeable/not compatible with OB-X. Each voice card has: Two...
In 1978, Sequential Circuits company released Prophet-5, which immediately became incredibly popular due to the ability to save all the parameters of the synthesizer in the presets. Tom Oberheim responded with OB-X. The synthesizer has a hybrid...
