A new arrival the other day, gotta love THAT sound...

There's just something about the interactions of the high harmonics in the raw waves make the Oberheim sound so characteristic.

New arrival :) !

Finished & extended version of my submission for the March 24, 2023 Hardware Jams Weekly Challenge with the theme of "time" -- messing around with it, in beats, meter, effects settings etc.

Added the Essence FM Mk.II for some etherial pad portions, as well as another SY99 pad track.  Sequenced (most) all the parts notes so I could concentrate on the knob twiddling (and not mess it up!) as well as play the arpeggiator input and modulations for the Hydrasynth.  

And, after trying a few takes I actually found a moment to sneak in a little Radiophonic Workshop reference on the SY99 :)

Recorded live to one stereo track in Logic, all effects are from the synths themselves:

SY99 - Drums (primary) in various 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 & 7/4 patterns; right channel intro steel drum thing;  pad in the middle part, slightly reharmonized Gallifreyan mono lead
 
Iridium - left channel intro part sequence

Hydrasynth Deluxe - Lower part is the synth bass; upper part is the timbre & time morphing arpeggio in the second half

MatrixBrute - the riff/lead sound with the real-time delay time mods

3rd Wave - Secondary Drum part - one measure loop in 4/4 that kick

Frakkin's Time

This is a vocal cover of God Bless the Broken Road, by Rascal Flatts

Demo of the SY99's Reverb Effect.  The fIrst section is the built in Effects;  The second part is dry, the third part is the second part running through the Eventide Blackhole plugin with an edit of the "World's Largest Reverb" preset.

The patch is my favorite stereo analog-style synth string pad.

SY99 Reverb Example

Many of you know I just love the glorious sound of the high end timbral crackle/sparkle/ hard to describe 'space' & richness of the uppermost harmonics of the Oberheim OBX/Xa when you slam bare sawtooth waves through the wide open filter.

I've spend decades coming up with ways to synthesize that sound with those characteristics on other synths as I never had an opportunity to own an Oberheim, until I had the OB-X8 for a few weeks after it was released.
I did a lot of comparisons of the X8 with all the work I'd done on other synths, and ended up returning the X8 (I also got the 3rd Wave at the same time and could only keep one).
I'd made a number of recordings of all my various recreations so I could shuffle their playback to see if I could hear the differences. I recently got the UB-Xa recently and did the same exercise and added it to the mix.

So synth nerds, test your ears -- what is this audio example? Put your vote in the comments:
Behringer UB-Xa
Oberheim OB-X8
Arturia PolyBrute
Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave
ASM Hydrasynth
Yamaha SY99
None of the above
Trolled you all, I'd borrowed an OBXa
Internet Streaming screws up the fine details of the audio so I have no idea (The source .aif was pristine, uploaded it 3 times and always got some glitches sorry!)
