With all of the filters in Dune 3, I would think it would be pretty easy to get that sound...however not a function-to-function match. I guess it would be great if you are a huge fan of that synth.

diff osc, diff filters, diff envs, diff mods, 8 voice cards (each with diff functions to what D3 has)

might get in the right area, but not close enough

if it was possible, I doubt Rich would bother making OBsession

According to the CEM/SSM Wiki:

OB-8 & OB-Xa: 2x CEM3330 VCA (Some OB-Xa models), 2x CEM3360 Dual VCA, 16x CEM3340 VCO, 16x CEM3310 EG, OB-Xa 16x CEM3320 VCF, OB-8 8x CEM3320 VCF

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEM_and_S ... nthesizers

From the manual, it appears that the Polaris filter in Dune 3 is based on the CEM 3372 chip used in the Matrix 12 and Xpander.

It looks like the OBXa was based on most of the same chips as the Prophet 5 Rev 3 and Prophet 10.

If you don't care for Oberheim's synths, then you can happily pass on this. :)

No, I love Oberheim. I am more of a fan of the Matrix 12/Xpander, though...will wait and see what it is, how it sounds, and if I can use it.

I think this is similar question as to Diva vs RePro 1/5

Yes, but Obsession is kind of unique. While it emulates the OB-Xa brilliantly, it can do things I've never seen in any other synth plugin, DUNE 3 included. Wait for the demo and you'll see.

Just wait for the demo, and see if it's worth it for you. Any day now.
