Oberheim
OB-12
(End of March 2000)
At
long last an analog style synth from Oberheim. The OB-12 is there
first endeavor into the analog modeling world. The OB-12 immediately
grabs your attention with it's bold look. A bright blue chassis
with white lettering and gray wood sides. The OB-12 is intentionally
laid out much like the old analog synths of yesteryear. Analog
fans will immediately understand the layout of all of the knobs,
sliders and buttons. Complete with some extra goodies like aftertouch,
ribbon controller, pitch bend and modulation wheel.
Most important to note about the OB-12 is the graphic
interface. The LCD is 240 x 64 pixels. The screen actually draws
out all of the parameters you are changing. This means that you
can see what you are changing on an envelope or the curve of
the EQ. On board graphic & parametric EQ, S/PDIF, motion
& phrase recorders, and tons of morphing possibilities await
the user. The motion recorder can record knob and fader movements
to free up your hands later for playing on difficult numbers.
Oberheim has intentionally modeled the sound of the
original Oberheim filters which give it that classic "Oberheim
sound." There is also an extensive effects section that
give you reverbs, delays, chorus and lots of overdrive algorithms.
With all of it's power, the OB-12 is sure to become a classic
in it's own right.
