New Analog Modeling Synth from Oberheim

The OB-12 is Oberheim's first endeavor into the analog modeling world. The OB-12 immediately grabs your attention with it's bold look. A bright blue chassis with white lettering and gray wood sides. The OB-12 is intentionally laid out much like the old analog synths of yesteryear. Analog fans will immediately understand the layout of all of the knobs, sliders and buttons. Complete with some extra goodies like aftertouch, ribbon controller, pitch bend and modulation wheel.

Most important to note about the OB-12 is the graphic interface. The LCD is 240 x 64 pixels. The screen actually draws out all of the parameters you are changing. This means that you can see what you are changing on an envelope or the curve of the EQ. On board graphic & parametric EQ, S/PDIF, motion & phrase recorders, and tons of morphing possibilities await the user. The motion recorder can record knob and fader movements to free up your hands later for playing on difficult numbers.

Oberheim has intentionally modeled the sound of the original Oberheim filters which give it that classic "Oberheim sound." There is also an extensive effects section that give you reverbs, delays, chorus and lots of overdrive algorithms. With all of it's power, the OB-12 is sure to become a classic in it's own right.
