    I played drums in a 80’s cover band several years back. Our keyboardist had the OB8 and we performed 1984, Jump, Tom Sawyer among others. I found a whole level of respect for these machines, their caretakers and inventors. It really made our show authentic. Thank you for what you do. These babies are time capsules and hopefully their truth will shine on to the younger generations to realize it’s not about zeros and ones. Every time I hear 1984 I feel OUR creator.

      The OB-Xa was Eddie’s favourite keyboard back in the day, so consider your taste in keyboards validated. ;)
      The old OB series had what I consider to be the fullest, deepest and beefiest sounds of any synth, even to this day.

      I remember as a tween of the 80's, all the "olde brigade" tearing down the music of the time. "Oh synthesisers were the end of musicians." Obviously it didn't. I did not understand music as I do now. I would given them a mouthful. Respect to you & fellow performers. No matter how music evolves it will still be an art. Sad part is art revenue will be firmly in the hands of record/song sales as within the decade. I'm certain that AI is going to play a more leading role in music of that zeitgeist. Children born now will have a far different future than us.

    You are phenomenal, I wish I could play like you. Have thought for years about learning to play the piano so I could get a keyboard and start learning to play all the songs I love from the 80's, to which as far as i'm concerned was the best era for music. Watching your video's gave me the inspiration to go for it and have since started lessons. Thank you Luke for being the inspiration to get me started on my journey.

    It's crazy how music is able to conserve memories of lighthearted childhood. Yes there was Chernobyl, the cold war and many other things but listening to 'Into the Groove' for example, brings me back to a wonderful vacation with my parents in Italy.Lot of fun at the beach and playing video games at the Arcades.
    Thank you for bringing back those memories. Your skills are amazing.
    I love the 'graphic' design of Oberheim. The blue lines are so nice to look at. It's my favourite (beside the Emulator II)

      There were top tier studio pros playing on Madonna's 80s stuff. Bass player Guy Pratt said on his YT channel that Madonna was actively trying to stop them from putting jazz licks in her songs, but missed the Weather Report groove he played on "Like A Prayer". Heh.

      @@ischmidt Great story! Legend has it that guitar great Dann Huff heard "Like a Prayer" and loved the funky guitar in the chorus, totally forgetting that it was him playing on that session. Don't know if it's true or not, but it's conceivable since the in-demand players were constantly going from session to session in those days.

    This reminds me so much of the time, as a teenager, I went into the hangar of my friend's dad, who worked in the sound and light business. I played through some settings on a keyboard that was just out, and I found the exact sound they used on a Madonna song from her album Hard Candy. I was so shocked and hyped.
    That must be such a thrill to go through all the settings of your collection to find the exact sound.
