So incredibly smooth. Nothing sounds harsh or dissonant unless intended. Beautiful.
This is one of those presentations where I keep checking the like button, over and over again, to make sure I've hit it.
Excellent presentation of an excellent synth.
Congrats! I got mine last week, and it’s truly a time-machine synth, as it sonically takes you back to the late 70’s early 80’s. Extremely warm, full, vibrant, thick, luscious stereo sounds! It’s also a really fun synth to program. Tom and his team, did an outstanding job, and it pares perfectly with my OB-6.
What a beauty, sounds gorgeous. Great demo with some choice playing.
Thanks so much for both of the in depth videos. Really great to see how you struggle with it and I completely get it, they could have included a few more knobs for the page two functions ... But then, on the other hand, just judging from your video: It is probably one of the best sounding PolySynths that has come out in recent years. The price is steep but you get a lot of sound for it :) Thank you very much for the work. I'm contemplating now on getting one.
Fantastic demo! 🔥
Good stuff Star Carr!!
It’s absolutely beautiful without fx, every note seems to have a life of its own. Each note adds something unique and it becomes more than the sum of its parts. Stunning instrument!
Oh yeah!! excited for this one.. I remember how floored you were over the prophet 5!
Wow… it sounds MAJESTIC 👑
Aww Starsky, I like giving you a hard time. Your demos AER the best!
Very nice demo thanks! I’ll wait a few years and hoped get it with a reasonable price on reverb
My congerts💪👍 every sound is worth every penny! Just Enjoy Man🤝🔥
Great video. Can't wait for your review / OBX8 and OB6 comparison.
Just lovely.
Really nice :)
All you need to hear packed in this nice demo. I played with it at NAMM22, it's all the analog OB one can imagine, still very easy to work with. The mechanical finish it's outstanding. Alas the 5K it costs puts it way out of my hobby range. But for the pro, forget needing any of the vintage models, this one's the one to rule them all 😉
best demo I have heard so far, beautiful sounding patches, other demos have been all too brassy
I picked up an OBx8 recently. It sounds incredible. Someone mentioned that modern synths covers what this can do... Yeah, they can I suppose, but in a worse way. I've been buying/selling/playing synths for many years, and using the OBx8 is a wonderful experience. Every time I use it my jaw drops in amazement of the sounds. I A/B'd the matrix-1000 and while very close at times, there are some differences. The OBx8 is generally smoother sounding and the VCOs sound nice when multiple notes are being played together.
Thanks for the videos, Starsky. Definitely helped me make a decision when buying.
This thing sounds crazy ass good
The analog choir part around 4:35 really needs some jewel-toned chorus and a light phaser or flanger to give it some movement. It'd be beyond ace!
Simply B-E-A-U fucking T-I-F-U-L
I'm loving my OB-X8so far and have already done my first produced OB-X8 demo 2 days ago. Hopefully I'll have another one up tomorrow or Thursday (VH's 1984). Tom Oberheim is the man! :)
I love the sound of it. It’s amazing. I have my doubts over the interface tbh. I think a few more weeks with it may calm my nerves (it’s soooo expensive!). All this page 2 stuff may become easier once I’m used to it.
@@StarskyCarr I think a few more knobs on the front panel it would have been better than having that many options on page 2.
@@StarskyCarr honestly my biggest concern is the menu diving of page two followed by digital envelopes - they seem out of place and odd for such a purist synth. For $5k I should be BLOWN AWAY and not having second thoughts. Although, maybe it’s the price that’s giving me the second thoughts? If they came in and priced it at $3899 I think people would have been much less critical of it. All in all, it’s an amazing machine and I’m glad it exists :)
If only I had the money, lovely synth.
Nice sounds, i like it very much, but I'm happy with my Arturia OB-XA.
Definitely gorgeuos!
Brilliant work Starsky! Even through the demos I can feel this synth is begging you to play. Sound stunning good. But first I have to buy OB6, and Prophet X, as these are endangered creatures for being discontinued. Hope OB X8 will be kept in production for coming 4-5 years!
Sounds brilliant. Tone and usability are much more important than specs for me. But this is out of my price range so I’ll just have to dream.
Don’t give up your dream…. Ever, some day. If you really want it.😉
WoooooW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything sounds better with reverb :D
The price of this is mental and completely unaffordable for me at the moment and yet I want it more than any other synth on the market! This is a great demo mate.
Go for the Polybrute if you can not afford this one ; )
@@synriser6742 the polybrute sounds lovely but this is a very different beast, more aggressive, throaty and bassy. There's nothing quite like an Oberheim it seems!
Yes I got a Matrix 6 instead.
The OB6 is a good alternative, although not exactly inexpensive either. Let's say "more affordable".
@@AlainHubert yes unfortunately is kind of pricey too 😞
This video just made the next two weeks of waiting for mine even longer.
But seriously: great video, as always.
Looking forward to review and comparisons.
Haha sorry about that!
I saw the internals of this thing. Allegedly, cost a little under $1k to produce including NRE and sounds like $1500 to me. Now that everyone that bought one has played Jump and Subdivisions on it, enjoy whatever else you get out of it. Most modern synths can cover its capabilities and then some, at a fraction of the cost. Noticed it is not selling very well at Sweetwater. Sales number look like double-digits? Worse yet, the Trigon sales, oops?
sounds great! like to hear a key to key with the ubxa !
It doesn’t measure up to the vintage OB synths, unfortunately ☹️
Love the Robert Miles sound. This synth sounds so massive.
RIP to the great Robert Miles. Children was an awesome song for an awesome time.
Nice video thanks! It's incredible to see how fat can the JC arp sounds without being a unison patch... ❤ The classic strings patch sounds better, more direct, more emotional without FX imo
I agree… it’s not often stuff sounds better without FX!
@@StarskyCarr so true!
Would love this thing if I could afford it. Hopefully they make a desktop version that is cheaper.
Personally, I'm relying on them releasing an official fridge magnet version providing it'll cost less than £2000.
The second voice sounded cool with no reverb
I would have such a hard time choosing between this and the new Model D reissue. Good thing I’m broke.
5:43 makes me think of those police quest games by sierra
Stay tuned past the end credits for more!
Haha. If only I could’ve got a plot twist in there as well!
It sounds bittersweet because it's the last synth Dave Smith had involvement in.
Apologies if it has already been mentioned but at 9.45 the tuning is off by a semitone.
Doing bonus scenes after the credits now like Marvel movies matey hehe
Haha … not intentionally!! I never realised I until now- and I’m slightly nervous as to what I left in…. Gulp 😂
@@StarskyCarr Haha 😂 good one
idk if you would be able to answer this question yet as you haven't had the OBX8 for long enough, but if you were to choose one, forget the price difference, would you get the OBX8 or the Prophet 10, I'm looking to buy either one of these as I would like a simple, easy to use, characterful analog synth, but they are both very expensive
It depends on how much you lust after the OB sound. If you really want OB then this is a no brainer. If you’re just looking for a very nice all rounder I’d be more tempted to go with the P10. You can also get the editor/librarian for the prophet which can be quite useful.
I have the Arturia V collection do I really need this?
No-one needs this. But it is nice! I might put it up against some software for a bit of fun.
Yup, gorgeuos ;)
Gorgeuos
The sound quality is great. Very pleasing. Great for someone with deep pockets, and an already well stocked studio. Or a keyboard player that plays music in the style of the OB's timeperiod. But, just for me personally, I think they missed an opportunity with this to take the vintage and add something modern, to make it interesting. Four envelopes (looping), four LFOs, wavefolder like the Moog Mavis, saturation pre and post filter, like the Summit. For 5k in 2022, they could have added at least a few interesting aspects, to give it a broader palette than slavishly making a new vintage OB; it's not exciting to me. It's a bit like if Roland released a 5k TR-909. The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is a better example of rendering the spirit of the original unobtanium but in a modern more powerful form. Quadrupling it to 24 voices and 4 part multitimbrality. Adding all the modulation/matrix and also additional modern oscillator modes ... and it is 33% cheaper than this with triple the voices, quadruple the modulation ... and effects. In fact, it makes the OB-X seem very overpriced. I'd rather a 3rd Wave plus an OB6 over this one. Or an OB6 + UDO + Polybrute.
interesting... watch my review coming later today. I think you'll agree! :)
Remember when DSI made an announcement about their version of the OBXa
Cool story, luckily there’s a simple solution. Don’t buy one.
Amazing syntheziser, i bought but a syntheziser 4 month Ago and my opinion was between a prophet 5 and a oberheim ob x 8 or the ob 6. My decision was the Prophet 5 and love my prophet 5 so much but a oberheim is my next choice, cause the Polysound is so powerfull and uniquè, first i want to buy the ob 6 but in Comparing with the ob x8, in this compRing the ob 6 sounds like a prophet6 with oberheim filters the ob x8 sounds 100% like oberheim but in the end this a question how much money you can save. At the end i have to buy the ob 6 but if i had the choice( couse money is not a problem ) definitiv the ob x8
Wow...
Sound good without fx. Kinda like the ob6. Better without (onboard) fx
Wonderful "essentials only" analog poly design that sounds wonderful to me. I appreciate it would have gone a bit against the "classic" aesthetic, but feel a sub-osc and endless rotaries w/led surrounds could have been worth it. At the same time $5k for an SMB/IC/DSP synth with all digital modulation I feel is a lot to ask even sounding this good. That is getting into Omega 8 territory which is quite a bit more flexible while still being an "essentials only" design and is through hole discrete. There is a reason it has been a "secret weapon" for 2 decades now.
sounds like your speaking about the andromeda?
@@michaelpierce3264 the last Andromeda was built a LONG time ago. SE has been building for decades (and continues to build) Omega/CODE poly and SE-3X para rack synths and some desktop mono synths and some eurorack.
Sounds nice, looks fugly. No classic blue strips, no deal 😁
Your opinion is no more or less valid than mine but I rate the OBX one of the most beautiful synths - along with the "white" face Odyssey, Yamaha CS30 and D50 - ever made.
@@MisAnnThorpe OBXa, Jupiter 8, Prophet V, Odyssey Mk3.
Can I make a track out of the first chord progression, sir? It's too beautiful to pass.
Awesome demo, thank you!!! Can't wait to receive mine. Wondering if you could do a video to compare different reverbs with the OB-X8 - is there a "golden" combination? The OB-X8 will be my first synth without onboard effects, and as I mostly play "live", I prefer hardware, so that I don't have to boot up my computer.
Great snack! This is the perfect combo with the Prophet 10. Different league than the OB6.
I'm just going to wait for the Behringer UB-Xa.
I might go for the OB-6.
UBXA is complete garbage but there are definitely better synths for this kind of money
@@VincentPresley why garbage?
@@dougjacobson8135 Everything that company makes is garbage. It took 5 synths, 2 mixers, an amp, and a chorus pedal before I pulled my head out of my ass and said "never again".
@@VincentPresley 1.) "for this kind of money" >> I cannot remember that Behringer has released an official price tag for the UB-Xa yet. Please correct me if they have. 2.) How anyone can prejudge an instrument that has not even been officially released yet is beyond me. All we know for now is what the beta testers and Anderton's have shown. And all those videos were made with pre-production units. Have you been an actual member of their beta test team? And if yes...wouldn't it have been your job to tell Behringer what needs to be improved so that it won't be like "garbage" in the end? The fact alone that Behringer did a beta-testing program for the UB-Xa shows that they have put a lot of effort into improving themselves lately. And about the quality of their products: Behringer produces low-budget audio equipment. So if you have high-end expectations (like expecting devices to still work properly after warranty time has run out), that's not Behringer's fault. Yes...they use - for example - less screws on the inside of their devices so that the audio jacks, edit knobs and patch points (of modular synths) are sometimes pretty wobbly...so what? On the positive side they can handle more tension this way without breaking apart too quickly. Music Tribe is a huge company. The bigger the company, the more issues can happen (including firmware bugs etc.). I'm still wondering why the first edition of their TC Electronic June-60 had a too fast LFO speed. How could THAT even happen...? 😂 By the way: Behringer is working on an OB-X clone which will be made of discrete components. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
It's that 'Where's Daniel Craig ?' Patch/Pad at 7:00 minutes that makes me wish I had a spare £5k knocking about more than anything else. Did you programme that or is it a preset ?
It’s a preset. I think it was Strings II in the OB-Xa bank.
no Jump?
Take a running "Jump"!
Finally.... a worthy demonstration of this synth... all previous demos have been sooooo disappointing... sorry but I was almost giving up hope until now...
Haha… the trick is not being able to play as well as the others.. so no fancy fingering or complex chord progressions. showing off my non existent keyboard skills - just pure sounds.
Check out the GeoSynths live stream from a couple days back. That convinced me.
I’m really disappointed with the OB-X8 … I really wanted it to sound like the vintage OB models, but the filters especially are lacklustre and just don’t have ‘the sound’ ☹️
Interesting - I’ve never played an OG but was under the impression they were very similar. Maybe not.
@@StarskyCarr Yeah, the 79/80s OB filters are just wonderful … the new X8 doesn’t have ‘it’, unfortunately (was noticeably lacking, not least, on preset D3 and some others - see Oberheim’s own, most recent, video), tho’ it is a nice sounding synth; they just didn’t reproduce that same filter magic of the ‘OG OBs’, unfortunately …
@@StarskyCarr so far, this guy is the only person (celebrity or not) who has expressed this specific opinion in this way in every single forum on every single post. (Which is odd since he’s obviously not into it) I am beginning to suspect he’s a Behringer plant. Lol
@@80smusicproducer Haha, I’m not a Behringer plant. I don’t even own any Behringers - tho’ I thought the Pro One I tried sounded good.
Sounds good but not 4000$ good
Sounds like Zebra 2 actually, quite funny.
Sounds good. *Curious if Oberheim will do a desktop version in a few month. If they do, and cut the price as far as Sequential does on the OB6 desktop, that price would be a little easier to swallow -OB6 desktop is $2,399, vs. OB6 keyboard’s $3,499. Oberheim is a different brand though, may have different pricing even though Sequential makes their stuff.
Écouter comment ça sonne, c’est pas avec nos merdouilles de plug-in chez Arturia,Uhe,Gforce et compagnie qu’ont arrivera à faire ça.
at what minute/time does he play SUBDIVISIONS? lol
immediately after "Jump"-just before "1999" and "Tom Saywer"--ahead of "Don't You (Forget about me)-and "Too Much Time on My Hands."
Sounds absolutely stunning. Not worth the price though and I'm one of those folks who got the Prophet 5 Rev 4 lmao.
Not worth the price my ass lol, I couldn’t throw my money at them fast enough. It’s half the price of one of the vintage ones and nails all three.
I like how this synth doesnt discredit or make the OB6 obsolete
This has a more mellow feel and it sits low and mid where as the OB6 has that crisp high end and lots of mid content with a more melancholy feel
Tbh though I kind prefer my OB6, its like synthwave in a box and sounds really good without effects but maybe its just because im more of a fan of the SEM sounds opposed to the OB filter
sounds good but its a bit late
not competitive with options available now days lets be honest.. cool if you just really really like oberheim though i guess
The same could just as easily be said of the Jupiter 8 yet I doubt there'd be any lack of takers in the extremely unlikely event that Roland were ever to re-create it. Never underestimate the power and financial pull of nostalgia.
After owning an OB8 (just recently sold) and watching all the OBX8 videos and checking out the specs multiple times, I have to say I think the OBX8 is the most over priced synth on the market. I can't believe they stuck to the primitive specs of the OBX. One LFO? Two EGs? One filter? They claim it can also duplicate the OB8 but that's impossible since the OB8 has 3 LFOs. When I read the specs I thought for sure they were wrong and would be updated but no such luck. They could have easily put a couple extra LFOs and EGs in there for more interesting sounds. The way it is now it's basically only for a small group of people that worship that generic Oberheim brass sound and want to keep playing those same sounds. I sold my OB8 because the whole page 2 functions were kind of a pain although there were very cool options. More interesting options than the OBX8. Even though I really don't need anymore synths I would have jumped at the OBX8 if they would have done something like the Moog One with several lfos, egs, 3 filters, and endless possibilities. A year after getting the One and I'm still discovering new sounds and modulation craziness. The OBX8 is seriously only for people that worship those old presets. They're cool but definitely NOT $5000 cool.
I’m torn between what you say and it being a very nice sounding synth. I agree with everything you’ve said! But I like it… arrgh.. hmmm… errrr…. 😂
@@StarskyCarr I hear ya. I remember your comparison video of some prophet synths and totally understood the struggle over the tiny differences. Like I said, I'm sure there are people that just love that sound and will think it's worth it. Personally I was very surprised, and probably a little happy that the specs were definitely not what I wanted.
Just one question.. since you mentioned it I've been looking for the 3rd LFO on the OB8 but can't find it? I know it says it on the Wikipedia page, but I've not been able to find any other reference to it even in the OG manual. Any pointers thanks.
@@StarskyCarr Yeah, that's another thing I hated about the OB8. The manual. It says two are available in the performance section but something about the way that synth is set up just pushed me away. So I'm no help at all. Don't the modulation and pitch bender work backwards as well? It's a strange machine. I thought it was beautiful but it just didn't work out between us.
Well... the ONE is certainly packed with features. The only problem is it sounds like a digital fart. On the other hand, the OB-X8 is pure dripping candy.
I love Sequential and their synths, my whole studio and musical sound is build around their synths, but I don't want this synth released by Sequential and Oberheim, it sounds nice, but the price is just a crazy out of their minds money grab. Besides the Oberheim sound it doesn't have anything special. The OB-6 (together with my Prophet 08 and REV2 is my favourite synth, I love the lush darkness in these synths) is sound wise more compelling to me and is priced correctly, still expensive, but it is worth it. This is not worth 5599,-- euro's. Better wait for the Behringer UB-XA then, if they play it hard, I can as well. Anyway, I sold 10 of my synths in the past months and I feel relieved and inspired, I don't need another synth.
The funny thing is that if you had 5500 euros, you would buy it directly :)
@@PluieDeLarmes I have even more then that, but bought a Prophet 5. I'm more of a Prophet guy, It's a big part of my sounds.
@@brianlespoir6287 Prophet 5 is amazing, but the lack of stereo spread is impossible to me, it's ok with a subsequent but not with a big poly like this..
@@PluieDeLarmes I'm used to mono, I even prefer mono and there are many ways to make them stereo, but I also like the binaural sounds of the Prophet REV2.
@@brianlespoir6287 I just checked and it's amazing, do you think that you can do the same thing on the OBX8 ?
i'm only 40 miles - that's it, just 40 🙂
Come and have a go.
@@StarskyCarr baaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaaaaaa 🙂
Where's Daniel Craig sounded gorgeous. . . just like my Yamaha AN1x.
My mate had an AN1x when they first came out. I had a Juno 2 and a Korg 03/rw and would’ve gladly exchanged them both for it.
@MisAnnThorpe It's the Patch/Pad that made me sit up and stop what I was doing. Are you saying the Yamaha AN1x can do that as good as the OBX-8 ?
@@simonirvine2174 I've no idea, but with a bit of careful programming it can probably get very close. It's a simple patch as far as I can tell. But if it's using any cross mod etc it might be hard.
Would like to hear all factory patches of this $5K synth not run through a $400 FX box.
You're in luck... watch the this video. .. all sounds are played with and without FX. Pleased to be of assistance ;) you're welcome :)
@@StarskyCarr Thanks. I watched you vid. I'm gonna wait to hear all the factory patches without FX. Even a $50 Casio sounds good through that $400 dollar FX unit.
@@Observe-n-Learn why are you obsessing over the Fx unit.. I know it’s amazing - but it’s not played over everything on this. In fact I think this synth sounds better without - which is a first!
@@StarskyCarr I just like hearing synths without FX to get a better listen to how they hold up on their own. I think FX are overused to begin with. They can be a crutch or a tool. A lot of my modern synths have FX built-in, but I add them at the end for icing on the cake. The only thing I obsess about is if humankind can save itself. Enjoy your OB ( ; >)) Still hoping for an OB Matrix 24.
@@Observe-n-Learn I know what you mean. Presets with FX are no good for anything. And don’t worry about humankind.. Bill and Ted will save us!
No song mode is a deal breaker for me.
Dear,Santa Claus Starsky! The fact is that my 36th birthday is coming soon, more precisely on August 14th. I sincerely believe that you can work miracles. All year I tried and behaved very well. Please, if possible, give me an Oberheim Ob-X8 for my birthday so I can make other people happy with my art and make people happy like you do. With love, your devoted fan. ♥️🙏
Let's go Uli.
@ghost mall What if he's not American??
@ghost mall there is actually a fair chance the PCBs are done on the same international lines as Uli uses and, unless someone knows otherwise, unlike Moog I do not believe the the assembly and bench testing is done in the USA either?
@@klstay board assembly, unit assembly, and bench testing is done in South San Francisco.
@@carsonday8190 are you stating the PCBs are stuffed on some line in South San Francisco? I am not aware of any lines in that area, though that certainly does not mean much... I did not know screw together and test were done there.
trash.
Wonderful sounding instrument but theres no chance that I’d pay a penny more than £3000 for it.
I will buy the Behringer one sorry lol
Yes 2025…
Get the OB-6.
Sorry I’m gonna be smug about my OBX-8 pre-order… 😉
@@symbiat0 Whatever floats your boat! 🙂
That nasty sounding synth that they tried to hide with a 1 year old pre production video? That Behringer one haha
Sounds great but I dont see why it costs so much? Maybe it was a business decision to make it unaffrodable for mere mortals still knowing every single one of them would be sold? I'm just jealous 😂
I never understand why people get upset about some synths being expensive. Have a look at what guitars are costing, especially if they have a bit of age, and try and get a pro classical instrument for this price. A top end tuba will cost you upwards of ten grand and that only plays one note ;)
@@PaulLawlerMusic not really a thriving tuba market these days is there… 🤷🏻♂️
Completely over priced and has the specs of a 2-3k synth. The Moog One and Waldorf Quantum do so much and have truly amazed me after owning over 100 synths. I'm utterly bored with the OBX8. Even the 1983 OB8 has more LFOs.
@@bassguitar2709 Well I know, I was messing around a little with the Tuba example, although if you count the 1000s of orchestras, brass bands, wind bands, music students etc there probably is a thriving market as with most classical instruments, and of course there will be cheaper models and high end expensive models of each. Your name suggests you know about guitars so you'll know yourself how much a really good bass can cost or a vintage one especially, and we can argue its just a piece of wood with strings and few extra bits. I dont have problems with high end gear in the market, it gives me something to strive for in life.
just to add ...there 1200 brass bands in the uk alone, each one of them has 4 tubas.
I don‘t feel it.
you must have had numbing meds ;) I find it impossible not to feel it. I get it thought, synths will never please everyone. :)
Buy one and there's a good chance that your wallet will feel it.
@@scottmcauleysounds For me, the core sound of the UB-Xa does the magic, but not this one. Nothing to do with price or brand. All ears are trained differently. I think it´s because of too stable VCOs, maybe the digital vintage feel emulation they use does not work for me. Moog One is worse.
@@marcusfreeweb I haven't had the luxury of trying any of the OG predecessors. But I am more than happy with the OBX8, after 30 Years my ears are relatively well trained. And allthough this may or may not sound like any of the previous OB, to me its is stunning. Im glad you have an OB that you are happy with. that is the main thing :)
@@scottmcauleysounds There was a recent AB comparison video, and the OB-Xa won for me, on several sounds, with organic warmth, vintage feel and so on. Whatever works for you. I say they sounded very similar, but there was certain a fuzzy movement in the Xa, it felt more alive. That‘s what I would be looking for in an expensive analog poly.
Doesn t sound as rich than older ones, for example bass sounds sterile, as Andromeda
its not in tune...
it rarely is
oberhiem how far you have falen. not even close to the origional sound so depressing i cant belive they have the balls to charge so much for something so thin sounding.
i have to admit it sounds very boring... adding the effects made it even worse. Probably this synth can sound really great but none of the sounds showed me something new that raises my interest. Sorry.
Do you work for Behringer?
I have to agree, nothing exceptional or even wow in any patch. I love Starsky's stuff but this isn't a great demo. If this audio was put over a Juno X picture, it would be crucified in the comments.
@@vaiman7777 not sure it is Starksy's fault. I think it is the synth. I have an OB-6 and most of the time I hate it. I turn on my old Rolands and love every sound they make. IIMHO Sequential gear needs judicious EQing.
@@Unison_Detune I don't think it's him no, the synth just offers nothing new to the table. I guess that's their intentions though. I do love my OB-6 though, but I prefer my Juno 60... and more so my Jupiter X.
Hey guys,
I know that it’s not the purpose,but does it make also good moogish bass sounds?
It can make nice bass tones… but… if you know your Moog bass it’s not a Moog bass.
