réactions à la news Le nouveau synthé d'Oberheim a un nom : OB-X8

Le son ça préoccupe un peu dans le choix d'un bouzin où c'est l'élégance du circuit qui motive, un peu comme une œuvre d'art???

J'ai pas fait Jump cette fois, c'est grave ?

The story of the OB-X8 is a story that has its beginning back in 1978. It’s a story of innovation and competition, loss and gain, friends made and friends lost, and most of all, about the power and value of collaboration.
The original OB-X was developed as a response to the introduction of the Sequential Cirucuits Prophet-5®. What followed was a fierce but friendly competition that resulted in the OB-Xa, OB-8, and several other Oberheim instruments that helped shape the sound of an era, and that are still loved and used today.
Jump ahead 40 years. Both companies have been reborn and a decades-long friendship with Dave Smith has resulted in the synth which now sits in front of you — the OB-X8.
Along the way, the crew at Sequential and Oberheim alumni such as Marcus Ryle (who co-designed the OB-X8) breathed new life into the original OB concept and created an instrument that has captured and embodied the heart, soul, and every nuance of the original OB-series synths.
More importantly, it combines the voice architectures of the original OB-series synths in a way that gives you new sounds and new capabilities that even the originals didn’t have. We think it’s going to satisfy even the most die-hard Oberheim fans and introduce an entirely new generation to the Oberheim sound.
Best of all, the OB-X8 is a testament to the power of friendship, a mutual love of music and synths, and in the end, what can happen when good people dedicate their lives to making good instruments.
Now go make some music.

Mais de là à dénigrer ceux que ça intéresse...

Je vote pour le son avant tout et ergonomie
Le circuit, je m'en bat du steak de ce qu'il y a dedans, et pour l'aspect extérieur, très honnêtement en synthé on est loin d'une œuvre d'art, je trouve ca même assez banal, parfois même digne d'un design allemand sans finesse.

Pareil, je privilégie le son et l'ergonomie. Et si la lutherie électronique est jolie et agréable à l'oeil c'est un plus (je parle là de l'aspect extérieur, hein !). Tous les synthés ne ressemblent pas à un Panzer.

Pour le coup l'Oberheim on est pas loin du Panzer

Oui, les questions sur les circuits c’est juste de la curiosité, perso le fait que ce soit tout vide je me dis que ça chauffera moins et que le synthé sera plus facile à trimballer.
Je comprends mieux maintenant que le polybrute soit plus fourni vu que son filtre n’est pas sur un chip. Du coup j’ai ma réponse, merci .

J'aime bien la chute aussi
