Cover/demo of Vangelis "Hymne" with the analog Oberheim OBXa

[ScottishFiddleLesson]

this is great the timing is spot on..

[loverickbass]

Can you tell me how you got that sound? I'd like to try it on my OBXa. Thanks

[piperman2010]

Wonderful....but makes me blue...

[magevers]

@piperman2010 thanks : )

[vrembrand]

Ik heb een OBXa met 4 banken van elk 8 presets, dat is ook 32 dan.

Ik heb hem gekocht van Erik Melaerts, een gitarist die er niet mee kon werken.

Zelf heb ik hem al voor nummers gebruikt, samen met ARP Odyssey, System 100, Micromoog, Roland Praraphonic505... (heb zo'n 20 synths), de Roland SH5 is m'n laatste aanwinst en ik vind die msischien wel ietsje beter dan Minimoog en ARP... héle goede en onderschatte synthesizer!!

[vrembrand]

Waw zegn da's kunnen! ik krijg zo'n sound niet uit mijn OBXa!!!

Lang voor moeten leren om de OBXa zo goed te beheersen?

[magevers]

@vrembrand Ik heb mijn OBXa al meer dan 25 jaar en ik ondek

nog steeds andere klank mogelijkheden.

Het is niet makkelijk om klanken te maken, omdat de draaipots

niet altijd goed reageren, maar het eind resultaat is steeds fantastisch.

Heb jij een 120 preset versie ? Mijne is nog één van de eerste met 32 presets.

[BrontoScorpioMusic]

WOW! That is just wonderfull! A classic track played with a classic synth!

[magevers]

Thanks for your very nice comments!

[FUHGI]

IS THE OBXA VELOCITY SENSITIVE ?

[magevers]

The OBX-a is 8 voice polyfonic, bud he has no velocity sensitive.

[Guakingo]

Now there´s a mystery: when the subject re-enters at 1:15 it is doubled with another analog synth and a string pad; at the repetition at 1:40 the other synth drops out but the strings continue. How did you do that, did you trigger something over MIDI and brought it in with a pedal? Wonderful synth and wonderful piece of music, it is truly a hymn and just makes me feel good.

[vjrei]

Probably has a click and headphones and there may be program changes in another keyboard he is controlling as well.

[myrmur]

Good question, how did you do that?

[hartig1967]

great job!

OBXa rulez and your OBXa looks pretty nice!

[magevers]

Thanks a lot!

[DallasTroy2007]

Very nicely done.

[magevers]

Thanks for your very nice comments!

[analogholic]

Great sound and playing !!!

What FX are you using here?

Btw, the OB-X has no Curtis chips, it´s discrete and based on the SEM

[magevers]

Thanks for your nice comments!

I used for delay the Roland DEP-5 and for the stereo reveb Sonar 8.

[Synthelectric]

I love this song!! I used to play it on a poor sounding Radias.. Your synth is GREAT!

love it mate... the patch kinda reminds me of John and Vangelis-I hear you now...

Very creative images matched to the Music of this renowned composer 5*++

[magevers]

Vangelis is still the greatest composer of electronic music!

[kaiserwilhelm23]

[walterclosette]

Joli ! J'aime beaucoup !

Nice demo !

[magevers]

Merci beaucoup!

[Dubwise4u]

How did you change to the second patch.

How's the double mode work? I like it! It's hard to belive but i can almost get that patch with my ensoniq esp1.

Cheers...

[magevers]

I change the patch's with a foot switch.

Double mode => to different patches sounds at the same time when you play a key.

I think that the esp1 used the same Curtis analog filters as the OBX!

[Gwyo]

Sounds very rich! I've been trying to copy that layered lead sound (somewhere in the middle of this clip) in Zebra2 already... :)

[magevers]

Thanks for your nice comments!
