HA! Got a shoutout from ol’ Jack - made my day! Had mine for a week now as well and haven’t had time to make a video yet but it’s coming - such a deep one, this!
I'm loving my OB-X8 and have already made several OB-X8 demos. I cannot wait to mix some OB-X8 with my Prophet 10, OB-6, Super 6, and upcoming 3rd Wave. I'm in synth heaven! :)
The X8 doesn’t have the heft of the Rev4 … be sure to post a link to your comparison video, here …
Never sell your OB-8 or your 002 … you’ll regret it!!!!
@@kierenmoore3236 I second this
I actually like this guy now.
At the beginning I found him goofy but now I get the impression that he's very honest and reliable :)
What a beautiful instrument. A masterpiece of sound.
I've played one twice and was blown away, but I'm just learning how amazing the keyboard sensitivity and aftertouch are from this video. That's kind of another massive selling point to me because part of why I'm most interested in this synth, aside from it's gorgeous, raw sounds, is that I immediately felt a physical connection to it and I thought I could lean into and really pull some magic out of it.
Thanks for answering my many questions in such detail! You're a gent!
You and Falcon are the best!!! Keep these flowing!
Nice one! You came through 🔥🔥Would love to grab that OB-X8.
Sounds just beautiful. Great work on the video as usual mate. I feel after touch is almost always too quick to respond and it almost needs its own attack and release settings so that it's smooth off your pressure. When you let go quickly it will ramp down more gently as let's face it is always very difficult to control in a way you actually want when recording anyway the end up doing it 10 times or just automating it eventually anyway.
It sure does look and sound beautiful! I SO agree with your first point - Looking for purchases to end things. when I was younger I bought something, sold and upgraded, several times.. each time disappointed at myself that I didn't buy the best and most expensive thing I really wanted - had I done that I would have saved money in the long run!!
THIS. It's often better to save up - if you can - and just get the real deal. It's nice that companies like Dave Smith/Sequential have made that possible again. It's good to have the option to get something truly great and not have to shell out money for an unstable vintage unit. Tone matters.
Yes. A final purchase. This thing is sounding like it to me.
Brilliant vid as always - now to find the cash :)
Thanks for the Bon Iver track discovery Jack. ;) The melody you played is better on the OB-X8 than on the track for me. :)
Imo .......the obx 8 sounds fantastic, probably would sound even better sat in front of the unit. Oh an p.s. apparently ToTo africa brass is a CS80 I'm very sure Steve Porcaro (sorry if misspelt ) said so, on the Pro Synth Network Show. ) Having said that , if there is one thing Oberheims excel in , its synth brass.
Thanks for dropping the vid Jack , your a badboy 👊🏾👊🏾.
Actually, I’m 90% sure that “Africa” by Toto was in fact a CS-80. But check me on it.
Look up the video where Steve Porcaro plays “Africa” on his CS-80
@@79Glitch I probably saw it, and that’s how I knew👍
U the Man Jacky Boy 👊👊👊💪🔥😂
U crack me up Bro. And learning loads as well 😎👏
10:27 The harmonics on that thing! There are high notes that you're not playing. Especially that high C in there. Plus a high D. No. I think it's maybe a D and and E. Who cares? Sounds awesome.
man I am so glad I got the Super 6
There was a video series of Jack trying polysynths to purchase one for his own. Was there ever a conclusion to this? I tried to find it in the channel's video list but I don't see anything.
Jack responded to me asking about this a while back nearer to the time of the original video - can't remember exactly what he said, but I think basically he was a bit over excited when he promised that series, and had second thoughts about dropping that kind of cash
@@cryptkeeper5 ohh got it, thanks!
"Africa" was the CS-,80 but I'm sure that's already mentioned.
Are the Velocity and Aftertouch modulation amounts controllable in Page 2 or are they simply the on/off affair as on the panel? It might be nice to have the AT open the filter within a musically controllable range like by 25% instead of 100%, for example.
That icejjfish thing caught me off guard🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I have the Prophet 10 but the Aftertouch and Velocity are so sensitive, even when the sensitivity is turned down, its tough. This seems like that. Ack. I turn them off. I wish they were global buttons you couldn't turn off instead of per patch. I know the performance aspects of those features have value - but the original vintage Prophet and OB didn't have them, and we clamor for those instruments. Oh well.
the arp controls are a bit of a head twister
hope Jack does a video on the 3rd Wave.
If they're selling it, a video will be made.
A certain troll made a video showing that it wasn't the sounds of both but only 1 instrument, that video got taken down and then the troll closed their account complaining that freedumb of speech is a real thing.
Good to see companies backing their products and their content creators.
:D
hello, how do I name my patches before saving them? thank you
Will we ever get the video you promised?.
OH MY GOD SOMETHIN BOUT U GURL
I understand nostalgia weighing in the design decisions, but original shortcomings in the OB8 interface (as compared to Prophet 5 or OB-6) could have been improved without much straying? I feel it would still be a close decision, but would still lean to Prophet 10 for 2040 & Curtis and OB-6 (desktop) for SEM. To each their own; I simply would have preferred OB-6 as the design start point then add a pair of voices, an octave, the Curtis filter, dedicated outs for each layer, and lose the crappy effects and sequencer. (Arp from either would have been fine IMHO) For that I would pay $5k.
Yes, Prophet 5/10 Rev4 and an OB-6 is a better option these days. The OB-XA I played just didn’t measure up to my vintage OB-8, sound-wise, unfortunately. The OB-6 is great/sounds better in mono, for sure … and is half the price!
@SYNTHPUNK’S SYNTH BUNKER your only claim to fame?
@@kierenmoore3236 OB-6 brand new now at Sweetwater:
$ 3,600.00 (plus tax)
I bought it brand new roughly a year ago for $ 3,000.00 (plus tax)
bethrestttt💗
Can you save presets?
Yes
*Synthpunk gang* 😎🔥
OB-X8 sounds better then the OB-6 but not enough to justify a purchase to have both..
It really doesn’t, though. You should check out Starsky Carr’s *latest* comparison, like Jack said …
@@KaiBurley Yes, I was one of the first few to watch it. The X8 has some stereo/panning features that the OB-6 doesn’t. In mono mode, however, the OB-6 actually has more heft/doesn’t sound as thin and bright as the X8, which is my main problem with the X8. A great basic tone - the heft of the vintage units - is more important to me than any bells or whistles; especially when I was hoping the X8 was going to be a back-up for my vintage OB-8.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi Tones of the future? Lmfao.
Stick with your Behringer synths.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi No idea what you're on about, the UBXa sounds great, I was referring to the cheap junk you currently own that is Behringer.
Those 80+ synths you own working in Hollywood lol.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi *sounds of the future* , you heard it right here folks.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ANDERTON CUSTOMER SERVICE is absolutely horrible. I called them on the phone and spoke with several people concerning synthesizers and they expected me to pay for them. Me! Sashabooboo! How dare they! If you are reading this, I will forgive you but you must send me an Oberheim. Please?
Not my experience - you should visit the shop - great staff
@@simoningate2056 I AM SASHABOOBOO DAMMIT!! Visit the store? They should visit ME! (it's supposed to be funny)
misread..
doh
Sounds great, but no poly AT Kills it for me. So obvious that it needs it.
My guess is they're saving that one for the next launch.
I agree - I think the OB-6 sounds better, and at half the price (whilst only sacrificing 2 voices). There is a huge hype factor around the OB-X8 right now, which I don’t think its sound justifies/can maintain in the long term. I was looking for something as an authentic backup to my vintage OB-8, and this OB-X8 isn’t it, unfortunately. I was so excited for this synth, too … 😕
I have an OB-6, and I'd say this sounds better. People are still just getting to grips with it. It'll certainly grow, there's no doubt about that.
@@vaiman7777 Huh? It’ll certainly grow? What is that supposed to mean? Also, there is no OB-6 in this video, so a bit hard for you to compare … If you check out Starsky’s latest video, the OB-6 sounds better in most instances (it just doesn’t have some of the stereo features of the OB-X8; but, then, the OB-XA doesn’t sound like a vintage Oberheim, and for the price they are asking and all the promises, it should …)
@@kierenmoore3236 People are getting to know it, these initial videos are not representative of what it's capable of. So viewers should take that into account, that's what I mean.
I own an OB-6, so it's really easy for me to compare ;)
I wouldn’t conclude that the OB-6 sounds better just from someone’s RUclips video, no matter who they are. Starsky’s latest comparison does a good job in a lot of ways, but the entire video is focused solely on just one sound. So, not even scratching the surface.
I had an OB-6 and now I have the OB-X8. The difference is not subtle when you zoom out a bit beyond just one sound example. If you are a fan of the Oberheim vibe, you owe it to yourself to compare them in the real world and not on RUclips. Just my $.02 😁
Starsky's comparison has an issue he admits to in the comments where that first patch on the OB-6 is recorded in mono.. I suspect that bit will be cited over and over again about how much more stereo the OB-X8 sounds. However I do agree that the OB-X8 sounds a bit better to me (in a similar way to P6 vs P5/P10.. although sad there's just mono out on P5/P10)..
Also the OB-X8 very likely nails OB-X/OB-Xa/OB-8 impressions much more closely.. OB-6 wasn't exactly going for that. When you consider you could avoid having to buy vintage OB-X & OB-Xa & OB-8 in favour of a single modern synth.. the price doesn't seem so bad
5500€……no wonder Oberheim went bankrupt in the 80th🤦♂️
It seems like this time they're going to be raking it in at €5500 a pop. That's more Euros than dollars because it's one € to one $ plus all the outrageous European taxes that still apply in the UK, even though we imagine we've left.
