Oberheim OB-X8 - My Presets - No FX

Here you can hear my personal programmed custoo presets (maybe I also will share them by interest). You can listen to some punchy basses, drones, leads, e-piano sounds, strings, evelving pads, brass and keys. Many classic sounds to listen, but thanks to adding triangle waves, mixing of wavesforms, the complete SEM Filter Sections including also the great bandpass and notch filter, I created also some other stuff.
As my most videos, I didn’t use any processing, although I was thinking of using a great reverb or delay pedal from GFI (just for fun). But I think for you to listen to the pure sound oft he OB-X8 it’s better to listen pure, dry and raw directly into the audio interface. I used commonly stereo in spread modus full. So it is brooooaaaad and fat ☺.
I really love this synth extremely much. It is a pitty that it has to leave my studio again - but maybe some time ...
Presets you can free download on the file section in the two facebook Obweheim groups.
Have fun to listen this video and thanks for watching. Make some music!

Man these are incredible - well done! Put a whole bank together and sell them - I’d buy!

[@vintagesynths]

As I promised in the Facebook OB-X8 groups I shared the sysex bank OB-SX. I fulfilled around 8 banks so around 60 presets, most based on existing patches and some from scratch. Many are just edited from the OB-X8 bank. So of course it’s for green download in the download areas of the FB groups.

Wow, that plucky string sound at 1:42 is impressive 👍🏻

[@synthtaxi4497]

[@Donetur]

Nice sounds from a great synth.

[@kennyzarider5395]

Well done!!!

[@retro-dademusic6403]

Amazing! 😎

[@seanchristophersynthesizer6999]

Good stuff! I really like the patches at 7:40 and 15:00!

[@vintagesynths]

Thanks- nowadays Synthesists have to be quite rich to afford such marvelous synths.

[@jfracine_composition]

Thank you for that !

[@dcolfer00]

I could imagine how good these would sound with effects added.

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

The sounds are very good.Few different sounds.

[@klstay]

Great sounds out of a great sounding synth. I fear if I had to fit some of these into a mix we would have words as there is precious little spectral, dynamic, or stereo space left for anything else...😉(When naming those patches the four letters HUGE were part of the name, right?)

[@vintagesynths]

Definitely yes haha

[@abwdoc]

OMG !! Oberheim needs to hire you...immediately !! I just got my OB-X8...and I love it. But...I have to get these sounds, not only to play, but to dissect so that I can figure out how you achieved them !! Just let me know how much, and where to send it....seriously.

[@vintagesynths]

Thanks a lot. I shared them on the Facebook sites

[@abwdoc]

Oh...I should read the description first !! I know nothing of sys.ex files....are they difficult to load ?

[@navigator8222]

Practically impossible unless you’re a hackerman.

[@abwdoc]

@@navigator8222 so…how do you load them ?

[@christopherpederson1021]

17:34 is extremely beautiful organ

[@vintagesynths]

Thanks, it’s more as a electric piano thought than an organ 😎

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Cool 👍 Question .. can you turn the keyboard velocity completely off?

[@vintagesynths]

Yes it’s possible

[@mildheadwound]

So zonky! ~ if you know what i mean

[@vintagesynths]

Don’t know this meaning?

[@mildheadwound]

@@vintagesynths 'Zonky', means aggressive and without borders. Yet, clear as a collaterally shot to shit bell, in city center. Insane, out of time, yet undeniable.

[@vintagesynths]

@@mildheadwound haha, now I am bit more knowledged. Thanks 🙏

[@classicarcadeamusementpark4242]

Nice video, except you've got some bugs in your keyboard.

[@vintagesynths]

What bugs?

[@Marky8864]

Sounds amazing - and please go buy a fly swatter!!🦟😁
