What would that Tom guy know? Sheesh. Just some rando……………
I hope this is sarcasm and not you not knowing who Tom Oberheim is.

The real question is why are we trusting this Tom guy's opinion just because he has the same last name as the company? Like I wouldn't just take synthesizer advice from some guys named Jim Korg, John Roland, or Bob Moog.

Bro, no one believes those names are real.

My favorite part of this story is GForce released OB-E, then Tom heard it and was impressed. Got ahold of them, made some suggestions to make it better and we got OB-E 2.0.

The worst Oberheim emulation is the DX7…

Its really all about DACs, thats why me keeps running my OB-6 thru my beloved Arturia preamps.

Yep - SEM V3 is great.

Also, Arturia is the only one I've seen do the Matrix 12,
so there's not much to compare it to (besides the hardware),
but I really like that one a lot.
