«  for Sound Oberheim. »

Published on 09/01/13 at 05:06
Completely agree with the previous opinions.
I also regret the absence of the cable attachment point for the transformer, even if the connection is strong enough, the pro week is very light it is easy to remove by mishandling.

UTILIZATION

Super simple and very easy to take over while the manual is really too light (they have not walked on this one!)
The knobs are quite nice although I have personally added a small washer felt at the base to avoid friction with the cover and dust penetration.
The red LEDs are blind in the dark and the contrast of black on white knobs make a really nice week pro playing live module.

SOUNDS

WOW! Pro Sem (or other versions) has great sound! "The" his Oberheim!
Powerful, elegant, very present in the mix ...
Unlike some synthesizers (I will not mention to avoid lightning) who are struggling to be heard in a given environment, the sound of the week it is always well defined.
Infernal low, sharp and powerful leads.
With the sync oscillator can also make tablecloths grainy desire and scratchy or very melodious effects.
And what about the sound of 12db filter, simply magical!
As stated marsupio37, quite different from 24db and much more subtle!

OVERALL OPINION

Almost daily use with pleasure. For use in a modular world to draw its full potential. A very good module I'm not ready to sell, I even bought a second secondhand to 950th AF.
For those who desire the OB without compromise.
