OB-XTRM 2 is the evolution of the simpler *OB-XTRM 1, originally based on the voice architecture of the OB-X legendary 80s synth it now features functions from OB-Xa an onward.
OB-XTRM is modelling the 8 voice original architecture with a particular emphasis on the "growl factor" aka the distortion happening at different stage of the circuit, notably the nasty OTA CA3080 chip heavily featured in the original design (filter, VCA, output stage...) letting you control the degree of sonic nastiness you want from small to way beyond the specs.
Special care was taken so you can easily and quickly control the 8 voice cards variation, five sliders acts as master offsets at different part of the circuit with an optional "real-time" small deviation from note to note.
Most of the features come from original specs, some have been enhanced with additional modulation capabilities. (Mac/PC 64bit)
The full feature list is available at the website.

*OBXTRM v1 was primarily designed as a quick go to OBerheim like 8 voices VA synth for that trademark electro brass with crazy vibrato.
It was not a straight OBX emulation and did not provide all the features of the original.

Anime, winter/existential depression, and the power of music all combined, make one hell of a drug..

Sadly, the original track was taken down twice. What you hear here, is a hastily constructed "remake" to meet my deadlines. Doesn't nearly have the same vibe as the original did. I had to cut the intro in half, and remove a few lengthy instrumental bits, but I'm still happy with the end result, one of my best sampling works by far I think. More shall come. In due time, maybe.

Meticulosity

In this instalment of game music done on old gear, it's time to tackle Tyrian 2000! A brilliant piece of game music from the famous @Alexander Brandon who made such classics as Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Deus Ex, Unreal and many others. This has also been featured on @LGR and it seems the majority out there favours the Adlib version to the MT-32/SC-55, so it was with a bit of trepidation I started working on this, trying to keep it up to standard with what people love about it out there.

Initially I set out to do the intro music too, but landed on just the "Tyrian - The Level" segment which seems to be the most recognised theme from the game. As with all the other songs in this series, I also opted for some extrapolation and added a little more parts and extended the song - the original is after all only 24 measures on endless repeat, which would have become a bit boring for 3.5 minutes.

All the sounds are from the KORG M1Rex, the expanded module version of the classic M1 keyboard. Everything was recorded part for part and bit for bit, which took a substantial amount of time when trying and failing as I went along. Some extra processing in form of EQ, compression, chorus, delay, and reverb were added. The M1Rex doesn't have a ride cymbal, or at least a proper one that could be used, so there is a little Roland TR-707 ride at the last rounds of the theme.

Big thanks to Alexander Brandon for his great work. Check out his channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/AlexCBrandon) and website Funky Rustic (https://www.funkyrustic.net).

And as always, thanks to my trusty Patreons and fans for your support.
