1) Ford still owns some of the intellectual property related to a 1990s Ford Taurus.
Not a comparison? There’s a reason that no one is copying a 1990s Ford Taurus schematic in its entirety. Yet, they enjoy and get a lot of mileage out of Behringer synths that they can afford. That’s because they can’t afford a high-end car just like they can’t afford a high-end synth. That’s like telling someone who can only afford Hyundai, “Well, your Hyundai is nothing like the experience of using a really nicely crafted high-end car.”Īnd they’ll likely never know that experience, and for most, they don’t care. “…it’s nothing like the experience of using a really nice crafted keyboard.” where they could not or would not pay thousands of dollars for other instruments. If you want to knock Behringer, why do have a Behringer product? Many people are very happy that they can get a Model D or Wasp or Cat or 2600 etc. Sounds pretty good? It’s $300 and sounds like a Minimoog, and it has more features (and better reliability) than a $5,000 decades old Minimoog on eBay or Reverb. So, you admit that it’s great for what it is. So it sounds pretty good, but it’s nothing like the experience of using a really nicely crafted keyboard.” “I’ve got the Model D and, while it’s great for what it is, it’s a smt pcb clone stuffed into a cheap box. “Everything they’ve done has been a cheap knockoff… Really? Go read the Sweetwater reviews from people who bought a Deepmind 12 and / or a Neutron. The fact is, most people don’t have $3,000 to $8,000 to plunk down on a “professional” instrument (as if not a single “pro-sumer” uses a Behringer synth). That’s like saying Hyundai has yet to do anything that competes head to head with cars from people like Lamborghini or Ferrari.īehringer does compete, where it matters. “Behringer has yet to do anything that competes head to head with synths from people like Moog or Sequential.” “It’s gratifying to rediscover that its sound and aesthetics are just as appealing now as they were then.”Ĭould a similar reissue be coming for the OB-X? Share your thoughts in the comments! “It’s not often that you get to revisit your past, retrieve some of its magic, and give it new life,” said Sequential head Dave Smith, on the release of the Prophet-5/10 rev4. was also the inspiration for Sequential’s OB-6 design. The OB-X features a dual VCO + VCF + VCA synth voice, with the filter based on the Oberheim S.E.M.
The Oberheim OB-X is a pioneering polyphonic analog synthesizer, originally available in 4-, 6- and 8-voice configurations. And the company traditionally introduces a new synthesizer around the time of the NAMM Show, which is scheduled this year for Jan 20-23, as an online event. We haven’t seen any official word from Sequential on this yet, but on Jan 5, 2021, the company has filed to trademark ‘OB-X’ for use with ‘Musical instruments, namely, keyboards music synthesizers’. Is Sequential – which has collaborated with Tom Oberheim on the OB-6 and recently introduced a Prophet-5 reissue – going to reissue the classic Oberheim OB-X?
