OB From Mars

Classic and Custom Oberheim Synth Sounds

The OB-SX is an all-analog, six voice poly synth from the early 80s that will certainly conjure up visions of prog rock bands experimenting with synths for the first time - Rush and Van Halen come to mind immediately. We were able to access both ADSRs, VCOs, detuning, cross modulation, and even a MIDI voice parameter that allowed us to either re-trigger the same voice while sampling (which allows for extremely clean and consistent sound) or, as the OB naturally plays, cycle through the slightly detuned and extremely characterful six voices.
