Oh, man! Awesome demonstration! I'm so glad I found this, totally subscribing to your channel. Great variety of style and sound. I thought only jexus(W.C. Olo Garb) was making worthwhile synth demos, check out his youtube channel if you don't know who I'm talking about.

So Sweet, So Warm, So Brilliant, So Phatt! Thank you for offering your videos to the world my friend!

Man, that sounds so good! I just bought one on FEEBAY for $2,000 which included a Oberheim DX drum machine.Both units play and sound wonderfully!!! All I need now is the DSX sequencer!
I think they usually go for around $200 when you can find them. Thanks for the inspiration!

PHAT!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact I can make music on a Mac / PC and not much else.......it's great. And yet if I had the dosh to buy old classics like this baby..........I STILL would! It's so FAT sounding.......

This sounds SO much better than your Prophet 5 video. I think of the OB as the quintessential synth sound by which all others are judged ;)

does somebody knows a good (analog) synth that can give me that phat, detuned ob-8 sound?
what was that last tune you were playing at 5:55? its so beautiful!

@SmallFish616 It's just my improvisation

The "typical '80s melody" I play is probably from P. Lion's "Happy Children". I grew up in Italy and that song was heavily played at parties in my teenager years, during the Synth Pop / Italo Dance era... so it was probably stuck in my subconscious when I played that synth line in the OB-8 demo

The vaguely drum 'n bass thing at the very start of this video? It is simply the "SynthMania Theme", created by me. It's a short intro that I put together a few years ago to be used as bumper in my videos. If I remember correctly, I used Propellerhead Reason for the 303-style bass, the classic Amen breakbeat for the drumloop, the Roland D-50's preset 47 "Spacious Sweep" for the synth, and little else.

Does the ob8 have a built in sequencer?
If so, is it easy to use?
I'd love to have one of these!

No sequencer but it does have an arpeggiator.
