Vintage synthesizer brand Oberheim model OB-1 - Obe Wan Kenobi

Analog tank of the 1978s with which we quickly spend hours on bass sounds, with 2 vco synchronized. Rare with less than 650 copies, there is a grey version ob-1a. 1750 copies in total. Named obe wan kenobi (ob-1). A very inspiring sound. The 6-page instruction of the ob-1 of the brand oberheim is typed, but it is not really needed in the sound design, except perhaps to position the buttons to be able to record a sound on the 8 memories available (which memorize the positions of 33 knobs or buttons, almost all), because this is not invented. The ob-1 sends heavy, even if its keyboard is very cheap and makes a hell of a noise. In any case, it can be controlled with classic cv-in 1 volt per octave. The pinball pitch is huge. It is recommended in the manual to wait 5 minutes for the circuits to be stabilized. This is clearly another way to design a sound, with fabulous surprises in the percussion bass, noise, boat engine noises, factory purrs. Finally, no need to look for a midi interface on the ob-1. Perfectly functional and professionally reviewed.
