  • A great sounding synth

    ★★★★★
    by Jeremy Greysmark
    I was on the lookout for something a bit more unique when it comes to plugins. I use a lot of bigger synth such as Serum or Hive. But sometimes it is nice to open up an emulation of something old and unique.
    The way this plugin operates, and the way it sounds is truly exceptional. It has been part of a lot of productions, just simply for the fact of how it sounds.
    For me it is easy to dial in interesting patches, as the way patches are dialled in feels so different than the usual emulations I use. And that in itself makes me think and come up with different type of sounds.
    The sound is warm, rich and super easily incorporated into a production.

    I'd go for a lengthier review, but honestly, if you want the SEM sound, this is the best way to get it. Period.

    Incredible, huge, sound design and music with Oberhausen, it became the best in my vst vintage synth arsenal. It is well articulatex in gui and matrix. The built in fx are so powerful and the arp is phenomenal. Stunning and aggressive sounds for TV Shows and Movies. I’m no so satisfied with CPU usage when playing 32 voices, but it is a great incredible sythesizer. The best vintage and the best modern at the same time.

    I've been playing synths since the late 70's and although I've fully embraced working 'in the box', I've always been a bit underwhelmed with soft synths (with the exception of Omnisphere), especially those purporting to be emulations of classic hardware. However the Oberhausen definitely has an analogue 'vibe' to it. Its also got that slight unpredictability to it, as if the oscillators are real. Be careful with the filter as its quite aggressive and watch your volume levels as the resonance could rip your tweeters apart! An excellent synth though. Only slight downside is the CPU hit but for a synth of this quality, its a minor criticism.

  • Great sound, quite taxing on CPU

    This plugin sounds damn good. It has warmth and character and I think the additions, like unison and mod matrix, makes this refreshingly different from the original and some other emulations. BUT... this one can be really taxing on CPU. Also in the modern day I think not being able to run synth as a standalone application is a big minus for sound design and jam sessions. But a huge plus for NKS support! Running this in Komplete Kontrol saves a lot from the aforementioned "no standalone" gripe. :)

    Amazing synth, the options are limited to other digital synthesizers but I find it to be easier to stay on task with sound designing and manipulating the sound with just the basics. The effects racks that comes with it is amazing too. The only thing I want more is to be able to modulate all the parameters; there's only a limited amount of parameters to modulate.

    Wow...i*m so impressed. The Bassline Presets sounds are really awesome. The ability of Filtering the OSC Signals in M/S makes the difference. The second thing I really like is the un/lock function of nearly every Parameter. You're searching for a plucky Sound? Lock the Envelope-setting youre looking for, and skip through the pad library...

    Nice vintage feel. I like this sound, like a classic synth on your computer
