GForce Oberheim OB-E. The GForce OB-E v2 is more than just an emulation of the legendary Oberheim® 8-Voice synthesizer. It's a powerful instrument that captures the essence of the original while offering enhanced features and sonic possibilities for modern music production. A Unique Take on a Classic: Octaphonic Architecture: GForce's OB-E reimagines the 8-Voice concept with a modern twist. It harnesses the power of eight independent SEMs (Synthesizer Expander Modules) to deliver a unique octaphonic architecture, unlocking fresh creative potential for musicians, composers, and sound designers. Unveiling the Magic: Beyond Emulation: GForce goes beyond simply replicating the sound of the original. They meticulously emulate each section of the synth while incorporating the flexibility of software control for each of the eight SEMs. This allows for a wide range of triggering modes (mono, poly, legato, unison, split) and performance controls (velocity, aftertouch, MPE). A Collaboration for Authenticity: Tom Oberheim's Endorsement: GForce collaborated with Tom Oberheim and Marcus Ryle (former Oberheim engineer) to refine the OB-E and introduce the v2 update with their official endorsement. This collaboration resulted in further enhancements to the sound, including a new "Vintage" control that injects realistic musical inaccuracies, bringing the OB-E even closer to the original instrument. New in OB-E v2: Enhanced Authenticity: The v2 update introduces a new "Vintage" control and a refined Detune parameter, delivering an even more pin-sharp emulation of the 8-Voice. Expanded Compatibility: OB-E v2 is now available for both macOS and Windows users. Sonic Exploration: Explore a world of new sonic possibilities with a lush reverb, over 100 new presets (bringing the total to over 700), and a unique "Drum Mode" that allows each SEM to be triggered by a dedicated key. A Creative Powerhouse: Enhanced Sequencer: Inspired by the original MS-1 sequencer, GForce has integrated a powerful and creative 8-step sequencer that offers greater flexibility and fun compared to the hardware version. Split Mode Soundscapes: In keyboard split mode, with the sequencer routed to SEM 8, the OB-E allows you to create complex, three-part soundscapes within a single patch. Studio-Grade Effects: Polish your sounds with the all-new routable stereo delay and lush reverb effects. More Than the Sum of Its Parts: Authentic Analog Inaccuracies: GForce understands that the slight differences between the eight SEMs in the original 8-Voice were a key part of its unique character. By injecting these "inaccuracies" into each virtual SEM, OB-E transcends emulation and captures the true essence of the instrument. A Library of Inspiration: Over 700 Presets: Get inspired with a massive library of over 700 factory patches designed by renowned sound designers. Each patch is meticulously tagged and categorized for easy browsing.
