  • Amazing Synth!

    ★★★★★
    by Daniel Rockwater
    This synth has sounds that can not be found or obtained easily in other synths, I really like its morphing sound presets, it has very warm and clean textures (I think this is its best feature), also great plucked instruments and electric piano style synths, and is easy to use and tweak, inspire me very quickly to developing original and exciting ideas, almost all the times I have used it, fits right in the mix, it is very transparent and pleasant sounding machine, because obviously, is an emulation of a marvelous and legendary music device.

    As all things Bx, they have done a masterful job staying true to the original analog hardware. For example, the TMT adds subtle imperfections of analog circuit behavior, and the envelops, LFOs, and filters are meticulously designed to mimic the SEM. But, they've also made some quality of life updates for modern producers. The FX section mimics a pedal board with some nice effects (reverb, delay, flare, chorus, amp sim distortion) with scaled down controls that can be stacked and moved around in a chain to provide some great atmosphere. A "behind the scenes" Modulation Section allows for an additional 9 modulation source-destination routings to really flesh out modulation. Overall, it sounds amazing.
    However, there are things that could be improved. (1) The Preset manager, and especially preset editing, creation, and tagging could be better and more convenient. (2) It's very hard to see the floating text that comes up when you adjust the control. Your mouse is usually in the way, and the text is tiny. It would be nice if they just moved the text readout to over the top of the controls. (3) I can't get key tracking ("Key Follow" in the Modulation Section) to execute appropriate behavior on a selected destination, such as the filter cutoff. (4) The arpeggio is serviceable but meh. (5) It would be really, really nice if Bx would provide realtime visual feedback of knob movements when things like the filter cutoff, resonance, and envelopes are being modulated.
    These are all doable and useful enhancements that would significantly improve this synth. As it is, I find myself spending more time with other synths. However, if you want some accurate analog sounds, especially some fast, crispy double saw wave leads or some bright and edgy square wave basses, the Bx Oberhausen sounds fantastic.

    Yes. Find a brass patch. Tweak it a tiny bit. Radio ready. Very good job.

    it may seem simple in appearance compared to other "clones" of oberheim, but you have to rely on the appearance and the sounds are extremely effective

    this really sounds fat and original. I'm happy I bought it. 80s are back with amazing sound. It is also easy to use. Absolutely 5 stars!
