The Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer from 1978 is one of the legendary synths in music history. Used by Ultravox, Japan, Killing Joke, J.-M. Jarre, Rush, Barcley James Harvest and others. Here can you find the full OB-X playlist with a lot single sound demos, synth comparisions and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

You MUST listen to this with a good set of headphones or in ear monitors... Goosebumps man! Opening took me straight to Alan Parsons Project "Sirius", the prelude to "Eye in the sky" and anything from Gary Numan. This is 'real' synth. Thanks! 👍👍

What an amazing sounding synth and a great piece of music. Classic. Nice work, Sir.

Beauty and magic. Awesome sound. Thank you.

I wish I could creates sounds like this with my obx.

[AdamBorseti]

Fantastic! Those filter sweeps are gorgeous! Did you make the choir sounds using the cross mod?

[speedunknown]

Who owns this beautiful instrument!?! It is pure perfection.

[MadelnMachines]

Epic! Can it do snappy, punchy, pluck, bass and percussive sounds too or is it more suited to pads and sound effects?

[seanchristophersynthesizer]

Man, I want one of these puppies so bad! I have an OB-8, but there really is no comparison to the OB-X. Great video! :)

[allencowley]

Great track. So which is your favorite Oberheim?

[markedwards]

Would love to know the settings, I wonder if My Vst can get anywhere near it as it is epic!!!

[MadelnMachines]

I love the sound of this instrument. I'd love to hear it in more modern contexts though to see what it is capable when it comes to more experimental sounds found in techno. It's an amazing pad machine and great for vintage sounds but what else is it capable of doing well?

Absolutely screams Jean Michelle jerre

You can buy a serviced one at Reverb for 17.000$ ^^

Yo retrosound what do you think of "Mister X light ship"?

[torbenanschau]

I would have never guessed the "choir"sound (Lead in the first section) coming from an analog synth at all. Would have guessed the PPG Wave for that. How did you make that sound?

[HighMonkeyMonk]

Are there any synths within the 2000 dollar range that sound this good?
