    I think it's great to actually see youtube videos of a someone demoing a synth, who actually knows how to play one. Thank you for continuing to put up videos that aren't mediocre.

      Stephanie McKeon Yes! WC Olo Garb / Jexus has some of the best demos. My favorite Jexus demos are Waldorf Q, Yamaha AN1x and Korg Radias. He also has a handful of songs that aren't too shabby.

    • @InsertName125

      All true. But, he's not a very good keyboard player. He just knows his way around the synth, which is still better than most.

    I tried one of these for the 1st time last night and it was insane. I went to OB Strings and made some tiny adjustments. Before i knew it i was floating in an underworld of sound, then i discovered how sensitive the touch bar was. It was truly amazing i could easily give that organic touch to the sounds but it was more than that, hard to explain just how good the touch bar is. Then there is the after touch. I have only explored a few of the features, i don;t know if i can learn everything on it it seems to go very deep.
    Another great feature is the morph feature. Wow some amazing sounds possible when combining sounds.
    And finally my first impression of how the computer and display work together with any touches you make on any controls! It's just amazing. I've never used a piece of equipment like this that just knows everything you touch and shows you instantly on the screen. It almost feels like the machine has a real brain. Crazy! It has truly inspired me to start recording. I regret not recording last nights late night jam!

    I'm MuzikB and often, I still miss this synth. I sold it after all my frustration with Viscount/Gibson to keep it going. It was JUST SHY of greatness and just needed a few more tweaks but the plug was pulled on it. It is an excellent synth for Pad, string, and brass sounds. This synth along with an MS2000B are GOLD in my book. The only two synths in my lifetime that I regret selling.

    I had this synthesizer for a few months when it was first released. Very digital sounding... the sound reminded me of the Yamaha CS1x, digital and thin. It looked so pretty, but the sound did not impress. I so wanted it to be better. Other virtual analogs, like the Novation Nova, Roland JP-8080, Waldorf Q, Nord Lead 2 (I had all of these at the same time as the OB12), sounded so much better. I wanted to love the OB12... especially because of the wonderful interface and features, but the sound was a bit harsh and thin.

      Sayer Seely These days, I am looking for a synth.Never played OB-12 before but I am intended to buy it. I need overdrive leads, big pads , brassy pads(like yamaha sy99) with effects.
      I am already have Access Virus Ti Snow and Novation KS5. What is your advice? I generally play funk-pop music.
      My set up
      Nord Stage 2 Ex 76HP
      Yamaha MOXF6

    • @sayerseely3195
      @sayerseely3195 7 років тому

      It seems like you have the bases pretty well covered... the TI snow has a huge sound pallet (and much nicer, fuller sound than the OB-12). KS5 adds more virtual analog abilities with nice on-board effects. The Nord Stage covers the pianos, EPs, clavs, strings, organs, and even some synth sounds very well. I don't know much about the Yamaha MOXF6, but it appears to be a capable workstation.
      When I first read your message, the Korg Kronos came to mind. It will do all of the things you listed as needs, but it sells for an expensive price. After thinking about the gear you already have it seems like you are well covered.

    • @tunamusic6540
      @tunamusic6540 7 років тому

      I am thinking about Kronos 2.
      It is a beast. Maybe I can uptade moxf6 to Kronos 2. For synth sounds, I am impressed with Elektron Analog Keys. It is just four polyphony but sonic capabilities are great.

    For a while it seems the used value of the OB-12 had fallen to about $400 USD. Now they are around $2,000 for one in good condition. I think the synth has finally found its audience.

      It sounds quite good when the filter is on a relativey Low frequency but when you open it too much it sounds horrible! Really good looking synth tho, but not a true oberheim.

      Shant Vanlian sounds like YOU don't speak English either. "Someone" is ONE word. Not two.
