In this video, we explore ~10 minutes of ethereal textures of the Oberheim OB-X8, combined with two of Strymon's greatest FX pedals: the Big Sky (reverb) and the Time Line (delay).
All of the these presets are from the "J3PO Oberheim OB-X8 Presets: Future Vintage," available from www.j3po.net. Of course, the presets themselves do not contain any FX, and you can hear them dry in this video: • J3PO OBERHEIM OB-X8 Pr...
I have preset libraries available for the Oberheim OB-X8, Prophet 6, Prophet 5/10, Prophet Rev 2, OB-6, Spectrasonic's Omnisphere, Arturia OP-Xa, Softube's Model 72 & 84, XLN's Addictive Keys Mark One and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth “OB-Xd” - all available on my website. If you're a Nord Stage 3 or Wave 2 user, download my bank from the Nord Keyboards website.

Beautiful pads man. I like how you are approaching/playing it like a piano-rhodes. Best analog poly I have heard since the Moog One. Maybe I'll pick up the desktop module. No room for another keyboard footprint.

I love mine. It's amazing how well it sounds dry. So you know when you add anything to this, it's going to sound fantastic. The thing is you can go from a sweet pad to ripping lead in a second, hit that unison switch, and it becomes an instant lead synth.

@mastermachetier5594 Год назад

Okay should I sell my rev 2 towards this ?

@AdamBorseti Год назад

As a proud owner of an OB-X8, I'd say that depends. The Rev 2 does more than the OB-X8 as far as synthesis capabilities, however the Oberheim sounds better in my opinion. If you're into the vintage polysynths, I'd say go for it. However, if you don't have any other synths besides the Rev 2, that might be tough. You could always trade the Rev 2 for a Prophet-5 or 10 as well, but I have to say, the OB-X8 sounds amazing even dry, and I'm only running mine through a Zoom multi-effects pedal and it's unbeatable. There's a bunch of OB-X8 videos on my channel too if you want more convincing.

@j3po784 8 месяцев назад

The Rev 2 is my favorite modern poly synth. It gets used more than any other synth in my collection. It's so different than the OB-X8 that I would say do not sell the Rev 2 to finance an X8 unless you don't like the Rev 2 or are not using it that much.

I finally bought an OB-X8, after having been disappointed with the UB-Xa which I sold after 2 weeks. And I've got a question for you: did you compare it to your OB-Xa at one point? Can you get exactly the same out of the X8? Because, call me ultra-critical, but I don't hear quite the same presence from the OB-X8 as the OB-Xa from the video in the link below, probably due to the OB-Xa having CEM3340 and OB-X8 having discrete (SEM type) oscillators, perhaps? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yA8XLhd5P3w.html

@ajlazarusofficial 2 месяца назад

That is probably a fair statement. I have an OB-X8, but I’ve had a few synths with Curtis chips, and they are more aggressive and mid-focused. The Xa/8 filter in the X8 is Curtis, but the rest isn’t. So it is probably more smooth. But it’s so close I don’t think you’d regret it. This sound I made on the X8, using all the Xa settings, is very similar to the intro to “1984” by Van Halen, which was played on an Xa. It’s definitely close enough for me: ru-vid.comCi_ZqPwtLvw?si=1JelX6MFNhRfgzaF

@j3po784 8 месяцев назад

they are quite different! If you're a die-hard vintage Oberheim fan who's always wanted an OB-X, OB-Xa, or OB-8, then the X8 without a doubt. I still love my OB-6 so much. I love the sound, the modulation, the FX. I hope to release a Vol. 2 of presets for it soon.
