[audiotrax2000]

Retrosound, this is why you have some of the most awesome videos on YouTube. I must spend an hour in here getting my fix every day. Keep em' coming ;)

[retrosound72]

@audiotrax2000 ;) thank you so much!

[arbshredder]

[oholm09]

Prince plays on his synths in dirty mind and controversy album

[SuperWeaponR]

This synth is still great for recording today.

[roginator1]

[dondorward2010]

TOM SAWYERRRRRRRRRRRRR

[nickster181]

[JustinC721]

Play Subdivisions!

[flyyourkite95]

how would one learn to play a synthesizer? excpesially a vintage one, i got a oberheim four voice for christmas (because my parents know that i love to make funky music ;) but i have no idea how to play a synth (i can play piano) what do i do!!!

[rotesosse]

@flyyourkite95 Get some funky records. Try to transcript every guitar, baseline and synth line...

[TheAlphadial]

Sounds remarkably similar to the Roland Alpha Juno series

[instantknut]

@TheAlphadial In my ears not even close :)

[boswachtersrule]

@TheAlphadial Do you sell your speakers ?

[TheAlphadial]

@boswachtersrule Me (TheAlphadial)? Or the guy that posted this video (retrosound72)? If me, which speakers are you talking about?

[boswachtersrule]

@TheAlphadial The speakers that make a Juno 2 sound like a OB-X, saves me a lot of money.

Does the Juno 2 also sound like a CS 80 when you use those speakers ?

If so even more extra space and money.......

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

3:36 - 4:38 pure analogue power!

[TheSYNTHOID]

I know that Oberheim Electronics were pretty quick to phase this model out in favor of the OB-Xa that came out just a shade under 2 years later but how many OB-Xs were made?

[kidgloves2]

5:40 has some Flash Gordon type sounds

[yomel]

tangerine dream sounds...

[Luckums135]

Might as well JUMP!!

[xnonsuchx]

The low-end VCO - PWM and XMOD demonstrations are awesome. i need to see if the Akai AX-80 I have (w/ Curtis chips) can come close to the same.

[ultimatenerd22]

this is amazing

[destructo1977]

sweet, part II

[MisfioPeton]

Oh my god, amazing!

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[MisfioPeton]

you are amazing.

[KaslarProductions]

i knew there was a reason that you are my ONLY youtube subscription! :)

[retrosound72]

:-)

thx

[downfader2]

BTW I'm guessing its semi-modular by the extra jack sockets on the back? Have you ever played around with those?

Used to do that with the Sherman Filterbank and I could get some really strange modular sounds out of it.

[downfader2]

I love the VCF modulation on that thing near the end! Really spacey.

[retrosound72]

thx :)

[ValiedTraxx]

very good!!!!!!

[retrosound72]

thx :)

[binnyman]

Heaven at 3:36,5:20 and 7:17 :-) Nice tweakings of the knobs to show just what this amazing instrument is capable of !!! Infinite possibilities........right up there with the Minimoog, IMHO. Thank you for the fine vids !!! Peace :-)

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[Andybaby]

ALL synth demos should be like this!!

[CleverDjembe]

It's R-A-W!

[retrosound72]

thank you

[codeslave9000]

Some crunchiness in the audio - running it too hot, or ut encoding?

[retrosound72]

YT compression

[alexriesenbeck]

5:30----

face melter!

this synth is one of the classics.

great video!

[retrosound72]

[mikeycomputer]

Now I want one! That Synth produces such great sound!

[magevers]

Great demo, Marko!

[retrosound72]

[Hyper5nic]

Excellent demo mate. :-) Makes me want to own one.

Thanks for making and uploading this video.

Cheers to you. ;-)

[retrosound72]

thank you

[kitkatworld]

A wide range of sounds, most are heavy. That's really a great model, and the thing I like, it seems simple to use ^__^

[retrosound72]

yes, very simple to use and awesome sound

thank you :)

[alkoolblue]

great! regards!

[retrosound72]

thanks

[schmittwilli]

Was muss man für den inzwischen sehr raren OB-X anlegen? Ich schätze, unter 4000 kriegt man den nicht. Also in diesem Leben nicht mehr.

(Ach hätt´ich doch was gescheites gelernt... nein... hätte mein Vater was gescheites gelernt. hehehe!) ; )

[retrosound72]

das problem ist eher, wo bekommt man noch einen OB-X der funktioniert, das Teil ist genau 30 Jahre alt

[Helderhugo]

You make some sound heared on 1981 Flash Gordon

[retrosound72]

yes

thank you

[jotahkillah]

u 'r foking idol

[rdproductions01]

[retrosound72]

[mattsynth]

[retrosound72]

thank you matt

[orbitalchiller]

You got a watch... you must be a very busy person. =p

[NELLOARA]

*********** 10 stars!!!!

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[marquis0r]

krasser sound! vor allem ab mitte video sehr geil

ich brauch nich fragen obs für sowas nen emulator gibt?! ;)

[retrosound72]

Die Software OP-X ist nicht schlecht (ich finde sogar die beste Software überhaupt), auch wenn zwischen Original und Emulation noch Welten liegen.

[Super544132]

sag wie viele von diesen Keybords hast du eigentlich .... Cooler sound ich liebe sowas

[Satak8]

OB-X or OBX-a, what do you prefer?

[retrosound72]

The OB-X is my favorite. The OB-X sound is more organic and warm (discrete structure and SEM filter design). The OB-XA has the faster envelopes and the sound is more like the Prophet-5.

[regisx32]

Good Sound

[retrosound72]

thx
