OB-X8: Oberheim. Welcome back

Mmmm… 5 grand is a bit out of my range, but sampling demo’s, priceless.

Looking forward to hearing this thing. The cost of these dreams synths really, like the Moog One, just make me think, yeah, I’ll go with the classic 911 Porsche instead if I’m really feeling GAS for a synth in this price range.

But I could still see myself at least copping out for the OB-6 module as my last synth.

Deff prefer the look of my ob6… which also probably sounds more modern too

They are getting in there before Uli (who “gave” Tom the rights to use his name on a synth), pumps out his own BehringerOBX in a couple of months; assuming Shanghi ever opens its port again.
(And anyones left alive to actually work at the docks and microchip factories).

See, that color is better. Compare with post #123.

You need a ton of Depeche Mode and The Cure posters. One of them has to be from a Japan show and you’re set.

Looking at that image it seems to have exactly the same dimensions as a Prophet 5/10

Yeah there’s deffo some cross pollination going on with the P5/10. Nothing wrong with that tho.

With 99.92% of the world population still standing I think there should be at least a few dock workers to haul these things off the ships :joy:

I’m trying to figure out what to sell to afford one!

Don’t know if you’ve watched anything other than mainstream media, but Shanghi’s population (20,000,000) have been confined to home for the last six weeks. They are starving. Flu issues or something.

Well that’s not good… only news I’ve been consuming lately is synth news! Allowing many people to starve to prevent COVID cases seems crazy though, if that’s what’s happening.

:flushed: :heart_eyes:

I’d love to see a T5 sized (and priced) Oberheim.
