    The top but a little expensive for me
    One of the best synthesizers I tried myself if someone can "afford" less than 600 e I'm interested
    I wait a bit to buy nine hoping that the price down a bit

    I had this synth a month. Previously I possd: C virus, Nordlead a nova and a matrix 1000? I also played on a lot of analog.
    Well, this synth is the no t given to me to hear. Let me explain: The possibilities of this synth is important, full of filter modulation, etc ...
    But the problem is that you Tlcharger last vsti free and you realize that OB12 sounds worse, as to afford a used laptop for its price, what?
    The OB12 flat rings, filters are zero. For those who have had a nova (whose sound is not gnial Adi) OB12 is the worst of all. How can you release a bcanne with a sound as bad griff Oberheim?

    If you have money to waste, give it to me, do not buy this synth.

    For sounds I would say:

    keys = 3/10
    lead = 1/10

    uh, guys, should perhaps be even has put a little things in their place. The oberheim OB12 is not an analog, since it uses a subtractive modeled, such a chip that calculates and mimics the behavior of the components of a real analog synth, ie transistors, resistors and capacitors. It is perfectly normal that it can not reproduce all the sound variations inherent to the use of such components as it does not Possessed (like all modeled synthesizers and ... virtual, of course).

    Blessed shall be the one who owns a beautiful instrument, on my side I am working on a Alesis Andromeda A6 and it's not the same world, but if I had been able to offer me "that" Oberheim, I ' anyway'd be super super happy. so take advantage of what is, and not spit in the soup too young, especially when it has the taste and color of the Oberheim mom ...

    Ability to synchronize time with the arpeggiator lfo 1 stamp program.
    It syncro speed but not the phase.
    Possibility sync speed time also (in a submenu deep well too :))

    behavior unison squatting 3 note polyphony
    (Polyphony is limited to 12):
    it is possible to support more than 4 notes, it will skip some layers unison,
    but it will not feel too much.

    The ribbon can control two parameters simultaneously,
    against by the velocity and aftertouch can affect a lot of parameters simultaneously

    Possibility to have 2 filters (series, parrallel or split)
    resonance and the cut off is common to the two filters, but it is possible to enter a delta (static timing delay of the second cutoff filter from the first).

    UTILIZATION

    Some bemoan the latency potentiometers.
    Personally I think it is rather an advantage!
    This allows to see what value was a parameter.

    I think the issue is simple,
    there just has the morphing that I find completely risky
    (Can not set the speed morph despite editing values ​​in the grid dedicated)
    more having to press a button to instantiate a movement that morphing loop not (anyway the sound morphs is so "glitchy" I do not use it)

    I use it as synth game, no insertion test in a mix has been made.
    The ergonomics are good, the "fun factor" generated is enormous.

    Statistically in 2 months, I create as many patches with the sum all vsti tested in 1 year. Being very fussy, I put at least 1 hour for a patch.

    SOUNDS

    Many testimonies mention the experimental side of this synthesizer,
    but in reality it is quite capable of producing "classic" sound.

    You should see his digital side "buggy" as an asset, its flaws give it character!
    (Same principle as the shortcomings of analog, it's just the nature of the imperfections that are not the same)

    The juicy side of the filter, the musicality of the chorus = pads of hyperspace!
    The Delta 2 cutoff filters (pseudo formants) = leads singing!
    (For leads, hard sync serious tears too)
    fm + sync + + RingMod modulation.delai inimitable = fx
    the reverb is "filthy" when the decay too long but when it is short (0.2s = mini), it generates a realistic presence with musicality filters, eg possibility of realistic brass.
    accumulated forms of tilt gives access to organ sounds.
    for electric pianos, given the setting of expressiveness, he is doing very well too!
    and of course the overdrive gives access to the sound of electric guitar, but even without it he go in anyway!

    All this to say that this synthesizer is extremely versatile,
    industrial / fx is only a small part of its potential.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I average one patch per day, and I'm 50 patches.

    Prior to its acquisition I tested the north lead 4, and frankly there is not much to envy
    (Aside the polyphony, and again ... because the OB12 has the supersaw on osc 1 ...)
    modulations North lead 4 are much more limited (eg lfo on one single parameter).

    Meanwhile I tested the 08 prophet, the prophet 12, the mophox4 the PolyEvolver the minibruite the virus ti2.

    For each model mentioned above, I made a recording zoom h2.
    (Ditto for OB12), I tried to be as objective as possible.
    They each have their strong point.
    But faced with these big monsters, in terms of sound quality the OB12 is doing really well.

    Paid 450 euros, given the other models tested, I would say that its price / quality ratio is ... unbeatable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If you start for a first synth is not bad for 500 euros, ergonomic design and the pedagogical side of the interface, when you have known nothing it can do
    for others prefer to go your way and a MS2000 often underestimated because of the factory sounds on the microKORG most successful (that's why everybody cries live on a MicroKorg beats MS2000 c ,.... is the same engine cretins !!!!) but remember that if we in the knobs is for the triturated facade, and not necessarily that eternels cutoff and res. you made good machines and you're missing on account of the sounds of plants often smelly and not the height of the corny

    It's a real synthe - not one of those General Midi keyboards that are packed with imitations of instruments.

    Which is a shame, if you want with this is that the synt pRSET are, apart from a few, are quite Merd ....
    But it is a synt Program, and NEVER have I found it easier to synt programer that l!!
    I board 42, mucisien pro since the age of 23.
    I have a "collection" of synt large enough (too much in the eyes of my wife!) From minimoog C virus through the Oberheim OB8 the roland JX8, the Jupiter 8, the JD 800 and The Yamaha CS30 ... and a few others .. I have a few points of comparison.
    Whoever achte pRSET for the synt,'s done! dtest who "program" sounds, everything to gain buy this synt .... .. as in A Day, thanks WITHOUT SUCH ergonomics, it is possible to understand how to make a sound, and do it ....
    Of course many simply turning a knob or pushing a knob, even without that it is the purpose of this knob, or laziness, or because the manual is in English.
    This can not walk! if one takes the trouble to APRENDRE what does what on a synt .. then the rsultats are immediate!
    So please before you say anything on this synt (to something else!) That the person is given at least know the trouble to learn this thing. Notice must be given HONESTLY.
    Fortunately, the opinion which I speak (see the first of this list) are REALLY too Caricature be taken into account, and even ridicule those who donns.
    You have to buy this synt for who he is, it sounds to say, but its sounds!, And one is in full "on target". but he who want a "box pRSET" should not buy this because it does not synt dceptions know that.
    But this is synt EXTRA for one who shall decide want to start to understand "how it works!"!

    UTILIZATION

    I had with manual ais English / Italian, clear enough, but I also have AIM franais.
    The edition is unmatched by sounds from everything that exists now or in the past.
    See my intro, there is no better in ergonomics ....
    I have a JD 800 that fesait strong in this area, but here, with the standard screen that displays right away what "happens" ds as you move a knob, it carrment EXTRA!
    I put 10 without hsitation!

    SOUNDS

    This is a VA, so it's not an analog.
    as said prcdement presets are ch ... er, but the potential is l and for those who want big sound for "ground" and strings, it can be done, four patches together with a lightweight dtuning is the equivalent of 8! oscillators together, and I Oberheim OB 8 cot to compare, and it's not bad!
    Of course there a grain, and a "instabillit" at The Oberheim OB 8, which is a difficult thing to imitate with VA, but what makes OB12 is very well done, especially on the pads , of brass, leads, complex sounds ...
    The effects are good and easy to modify, the expression is good trs.
    I RPET, but for him who takes the trouble to learn to master the possibilities of OB12, your exact (a very good rsultat) is at the VERY end of a road short.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year.
    What I like most is its ergonomics great, and its potential ... and sounds that come out ... when it was given the time to exploit the potential of this synt!
    I also love the fact that ALL knob sends "MIDI" and I also used to COMMANDER other machines.
    I do not like is the manual only English and Italian that I reu, but this has nothing do with synt ...
    I wanted more memory, even if 256 patches over the 256 "combis" (4 patches together) dja is not bad.
    But as said, it's so easy to prcdement CRER new sounds that are coming to the end too quickly! (I may be 10 gard original sounds!)
    I bought 950 EURO, and obviously it's a solid machine, because I use it very intensively, obviously this synt is made to last.

    I AUCUNNE WITHOUT HESITATION Rasht.

    connected controllers 256 editable sounds
    available and user-friendly editor pc

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple to use for a keyboard with the same parameters
    everything is editable and scalable there is virtually no limit to the transformation
    Many real-time effect
    sequencer etc ...
    comprehensive manual

    SOUNDS

    I am rather a rock with hints of electro pop so it's the ideal material for a warm sound and electro sounds very well made (especially if the publisher)
    perfect expression
    the sonoritée mainly electro acoustic, but some of its CSOs by digging lfo it must be possible to have a piano or guitar properly anyway for me a synth is not made to imitate sounds acoustic but rather to create the sounds never heard before or ground bass

    OVERALL OPINION

    I like the look mainly at the same time futuristic and retro for me it's ideal because I shoot a lot with my group it's really beautiful to watch sounds are really very well made and edited direct results coming soon and in concert is essential to have enough to modulate a live sound
    it's been almost 10 years I try all possible and imaginable synths is very expensive or of poor quality here it is a synth that does not compromise for a great price (about 1000 euros) and of course if it I would do it again in 2 times

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is very well thought. It is enough simply to address diffrent steps in order. Modliser first LFO1 being guided mode ds "edit" then LFO2 for modulation. Include ds then stamp program mode. Ds mode program can be superposs 4 stamps.
    I had the chance to have standard user manual in French, despite having bought used. 600 in 2004. The manual is quite explicit but does not go deep enough. N'tant not a specialist in music as I have encountered some difficulties but taking its time you get there.
    I go from one surprise is the life of this synth in its use seems to me infinitely.

    SOUNDS

    My style of both musics plutt planing room has ample AWARE me.
    The sounds are realistic? LOB12 is not for show sounds orchestrate, but the ds is more exprimental.
    Includes the effects sound good, but I prcise again I'm just a novice in the Contents.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this synth for 2 years and I had no bad surprises.
    Modlisation the front panel is great. The arrangement of parts diffrent is very well thought. Its sound makes me soar.
    For anything I sell this little wonder blue.

    UTILIZATION

    I find it very easy to use, you just take a little bother to delve into the sounds, the number of buttons for setup help.
    the menus are clear and more as soon as you touch a knob, the screen displays the correct page, so a feast for the programming.

    SOUNDS

    It was then that the apparently divergent opinions.
    If one seeks a good synth sounds with viruses and other style is not that!
    cons if you're looking for something more experimental, it's happiness. It can create unique, very good for music "ambient". you can also make beautiful tablecloths scalable ... nice bass with arpeggios and phrases that we have taken care to …

    in fact, must take the trouble to seek, create, experiment. it's all her secret.
    I was a little early on my hunger, and in fact, the more I use it the more I discover. So I think I can go very far with it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since early January. and I love it. despite what some people, I think it sounds good, special, like the others. And that's the secret precisely. difference. when you take a roland, we already know more or less how it will sound ....! (I like roland too).
    so if you want sound ready, the superb pianos, trumpets and other ... go your way.
    if you like tweaking the sound, you can try it.
    If you are looking for ambiance, you can adopt.
