HOW WAS IT AUGMENTED?

The GForce Oberheim OB-1 emulation has been richly enhanced to bring the best of both worlds - vintage charm aligned with modern possibilities.

THE HIDDEN GEM

The hardware Oberheim OB-1 holds a special place in the history of synthesizers. Launched in 1978, it was the world's first programmable monophonic synthesizer. Designed by Tom Oberheim, this revolutionary instrument brought the power of preset memory to the world of analog synthesis, allowing musicians to store and recall their unique sounds with relative ease. Despite its groundbreaking features and historical significance, the OB-1 has remained somewhat under the radar compared to other classic synthesizers like the Minimoog. However, those who have experienced its capabilities know that the OB-1 is a true gem.

CREATE HUGELY COMPLEX, YET MUSICAL, SOUNDS WITH X-MODIFIER

Using their unique X-Modifier technology, the scope of sound modulation possibilities is immense. The intuitive X-LFO and X-ADSR section enables you to work faster without having to set up modulation paths; they’re already set up for you. X-Mods provide you with the ability to create extensive modulations of almost every parameter, allowing you to create hugely complex, yet musical, sounds. So, while the tone and character at the heart of the synth remain authentic to the original, the additional features turn it into a true sonic canvas.

UNLEASH YOUR MUSICAL IDEAS

The GForce Oberheim OB-1, with its fully resizable UI, powerful Preset Browser, and over 300 brand-new production-ready presets from top-level sound designers, is fully ready to inspire your future musical ideas. Oberheim OB-1 features the aforementioned preset browser, giving you the power to organize your sounds in a way that suits your workflow. With extensive tagging, sorting and search possibilities, it's quick and easy to find the presets you want.
