Yeah, which is why a lot of people were surprised about the G-Media tease, and assumed, myself included, that they had worked out a deal with Gibson, as anything else would be rather foolish imo, and they ain't foolish types from what I gather...

If you've noticed, which I'm sure you have, nothing more has come out about it. Gibson is a sue-happy bunch in regards to their intellectual property. IF SOB saw the light of day, I would be shocked. If you want an Obby, buy an obby.

About five or six years ago Oberheim either started up or bought into a company called Sea-Sound. They made a couple of different audio interfaces w/inputs. They had a very phat analog sound - wonder where that idea came from? The units were of very high quality. Great ad-da converters. The company went under before they could release xp drivers. Only had 95/98 drivers at that time. Dealers sold their remaining stock very cheaply. I bought one for $150.00 - it listed for about $600.00. The night before, I had found some XP drivers on the net from the old Sea-Sound forum group. They are still working great.

There are no new "Obbies" anymore..at least i haven't see a new OP-8 recently...personally i don't like to give money for so old equipment even if its good as new (that doesn't).Plus they cost too much for their "age"...(I'm not a collector, i'm a musician).

Again, regardless of cost or 'new availability', you want an Oberheim, you gotta buy one. Most of my digital hardware gear is no longer available as "new". Didn't stop me from buying it, but I can understand. I won't buy old analog gear for that same reason.

Well, it's got us talking about it again...

To those most inclined to be interested in this, have you asked the folks at GMedia directly about whether or not this project exists, is possible, was a joke, etc?

Good idea! and the more, the marrier

Maybe we can get some good info this way

Let GMedia know that we want our SOB, and we want it quick! lol.. well not nescessarily quick, but it would be nice if it could get a little more priority!

Well it's about time to get this going again isn't it !
SonicState's weekly podcast got the scoop on episode 28 I think (1/18/07)
That it was on the shelf because 32 filtered panned voices "gliding" crashed every machine they had ...so it was waiting for a fix or cpu speed ups .
That said , One of the guys from Gforce has a myspace page and in his "interests he mentions playing S.O.B. Also there diary page has been hinting at something "cool"
So maybe ?

However I think we should start a poll and let the fine blokes over a Gmedia know how many potential buyers they have that would probably get the ball rolling again .
So lets get the word out

Thanks for that.

Very useful.

The gibson nonsense is just that, nonsense. Gmedia didn't get a license for the minimonsta, impOSCar, or Oddity did they? That's why they have different names. They don't jack up the price just so they can put the original brand name on it...

Creamware's MiniMAX and Prodysee also didn't have to pay a single cent to moog and whoever now owns the rights to ARP. Moog tried to sue them for modelling the filter too accurately and LOST. Roland has never managed to touch D16 beyond forcing them to change the GUIs a little.

Gmedia has nothing to worry about from Gibson. The precedent has clearly been set that as long as you don't specifically use trademarks of the company, emulations are perfectly fair.

And no one cares about OP-X because it's not even made by a dev. It's slapped together in synthedit, only available in one format/platform. Then he tries to sell a crippled reaktor version so he can say it runs on mac too.
