 | | Whereas the Oberheim sound was big and brash the Minimoog filter imparted a depth and a warmth to the sound. | | | I know that the revamping of old instruments, to some, is akin to re-issuing Elvis Presley records on CD, but I'm of the feeling that synthesizers don't have to incorporate cutting edge technology to be worthwhile. | | | Oberheim is now a "Division of Gibson Guitars". |

| | Oberheim synths are known for having a huge sound, but a poor maintenance record. | | | This is certainly true of the OB-X. Whether it's the discreet components that were used, or the slightly out-of-tune VCO's that thicken up the sound, or a combination of these factors, all I know is it sounds beautiful. | | | It was also the synth used by Killing Joke to make those great shimmering string sounds on practically every song on their NightTime release (1985), and of course Rush used it all over Moving Pictures among others. |

| | Oberheim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Oberheim was acquired by Gibson Guitar Corporation, a larger musical instrument manufacturer. | | | Oberheim Electronics was started in 1973 by Tom Oberheim, who had worked as a design engineer at Maestro. | | | Originally a manufacturer of electronic effects devices, and briefly an ARP Instruments dealer, Oberheim went on to create several ground-breaking products in the early days of synthesizers and electronic music including the DS-2 (one of the first analogue music sequencers) and the Synthesizer Expansion Module (SEM). |

| | Zawinul's first recorded use of Oberheim "polyphonic" synthesizers was on the album Heavy Weather, including the cut "Birdland." The instrument featured four independent voices of two oscillators each, permitting chords to be played. | | | Each sound had to be recreated by moving a series of sliders and reconfiguring patch cables. | | | A programmer option allowed only some of the settings of a sound to be saved. |

| | Oberheim Matrix 6R Synthesizer Module |
| | The synth is capable of Oberheim's own version of FM-synthesis, which ends up sounding very different from any other FM synthesizer I have tried. | | | The reason was simple: Oberheim had used some very cheap sockets for the CEM chips (the ones doing the filters and the envelopes - remember: the oscillators in the M6R are digital and under the control of a single 6809 CPU!). | | | As a result of that, the chip pins get covered with dust or even corrosion after a while. |

| | About a year after the release of the seminal Prophet 5, Oberheim released the OBX. | | | The SEM was a staple component of many keyboard players' rigs at the time and Jan Hammer used it famously in combination with his MiniMoog to create his characteristic lead guitar sound. | | | Originally designed to augment the popular MiniMoog, Oberheim deliberately included features that were missing from the Mini such as multi-mode filters and oscillator sync - and Oberheim deliberately chose a 2-pole filter to contrast with the Mini's characteristic 4-pole Moog filter. |
