Die B4000+ packt die legendäre Hammond B3 Orgel in eine ultra kompakte Box. Niemand würde eine Gitarre ohne Hals bauen, ohne geht es einfach nicht. Darum haben wir die B4000+ entwickelt, mit neun Zugriegeln: zum Anfassen, zum Schrauben, aber am wichtigsten: zum Spielen!
Basierend auf einem der besten und leistungsfähigsten digitalen Signalprozessoren auf dem Markt, dem Sharc DSP von Analog Devices, wurde der Klang und die Wärme der B3 bis ins letzte Detail liebevoll nachgebildet – mit allen elektrischen und mechanischen Unzulänglichkeiten, die das Instrument zur Legende gemacht haben.
Eben eine echte Orgel mit voluminösem Bass-Bauch, definierten Mitten und dem nötigen “Scream” in den Höhen: Der authentische Sound einer lebendigen elektromechanischen B3.
Die B4000+ simuliert alle 91 Tonewheels, wenn gewünscht, auch mit Übersprechen, und mechanischem Verschleiß. Alles natürlich voll-polyphon, mit Scanner-Vibrato, Röhrenverstärker und Hall, und – selbstverständlich – dem legendären Leslie. Alles perfekt simuliert und abgestimmt.
Nur das Gewicht des Originals haben wir etwas reduziert.
Zwei Keyboards können direkt mit den MIDI Ports der B4000+ verbunden werden, ohne einen MIDI Merger zu benötigen, um sowohl das obere als auch das untere Manual spielen zu können. Natürlich kann auch ein Pedal Manual hinzugefügt werden – damit sind alle drei Manuale mit voller Polyphonie komplett. Für externe Lautstärkekontrolle kann auch ein Pedal angeschlossen werden, und auch ein Schalter für Sustain oder Rotorgeschwindigkeit. Auch mit nur einem angeschlossenen Keyboard können zwei Manuale mit der Split Funktion gespielt werden. Per USB kann die B4000+ mit dem Sequencer des PC verbunden werden.
Ein externes analoges Signal, angeschlossen an der B4000+, kann an einem beliebigen Punkt der Effektkette eingespeist werden.
Die B4000+ ist das perfekte und kostengünstige Instrument für den legendären Orgelsound – im Taschenformat.

DFAM is the first addition to the Mother ecosystem of synthesizers and presents an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation. It requires no patching, and absolutely no experience is needed for human-beings of any age to quickly begin synthesizing new and unique rhythmic compositions.Activated by an easy-to-use analog sequencer, DFAM’s emotive sound begins with a white noise generator and two wide-range analog oscillators - effortlessly transitioning between rhythmic pulsations, resounding bass and resonant bells in an instant. DFAM’s distinctive voice is then shaped by a classic Moog Ladder filter with two selectable modes: Low Pass mode imparts impact and dimension to each sound it touches, while High Pass mode opens the door to naturally expressive strikes, spikes and clangorous accentuations.DFAM behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to different individuals. 3 dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer to ensure that tribal toms breathe, industrial impacts evolve, and sonic chaos can be created or subdued at the turn of a knob.Each DFAM ships with a package of Moog patch cables that unlock access to the 24-point modular patchbay. Use it to create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize an unlimited number of DFAM and Mother-32 units together, or fully integrate your analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.Through exploration and experimentation, the vast potential of this expressive analog instrument is realized.

Der OB-X8 Synthesizer wurde von allen Seiten dafür gelobt, den klassischen Oberheim-Sound einer neuen Generation zugänglich zu machen. Und jetzt gibt es alle OB-X8 Presets, Synthese-Funktionen und Sound-Editing-Bedienelemente in einem kompakten Paket, das in jeden kreativen Raum passt.
Die neue OB-X8 Desktop-Version hat alles, was die Keyboard-Version hat, mit Ausnahme des 61-stimmigen Fatar-Keybeds und der Pitch- und Modulationshebel. Aber lassen Sie sich nicht davon abhalten, die ganze klangliche Kraft des Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa und OB-8 zu erleben, und zwar in einem Format, das kompakt genug ist für Studios jeder Größe und praktisch genug, um es unterwegs zu nutzen!
Think Small, Play Big
Das OB-X8 Desktop-Modul verfügt über eine identische Sound-Engine wie die Keyboard-Version und bietet einen rein analogen Signalweg mit diskreten VCOs, VCAs und Filtern. Und dank des knob-per-function Prinzips haben Sie sofortigen Zugriff auf praktisch alle Parameter des Synthesizers, so dass Sie mit Leichtigkeit und Präzision Ihre eigenen einzigartigen Sounds kreieren können.
Analog Pur!
Der Audiosignalweg des OB-X8 ist komplett analog gestaltet und strotzt nur so vor Wärme und Druck. Es ist derselbe charakteristische Oberheim-Sound, der ikonische Tracks wie "1999" von Prince, "Jump" von Van Halen und "Tom Sawyer" von Rush so unvergesslich gemacht hat. Und jetzt können Sie Ihre eigene Musik mit diesem Sound bereichern.
Völlig neue Sounds
Die klassischen Werksklänge der OB-Serie, die Sie von unzähligen Aufnahmen kennen, sind alle da. Aber das ist erst der Anfang: Unser Netzwerk von Weltklasse-Sounddesignern hat speziell für den OB-X8 atemberaubende neue Sounds entwickelt. Und da der OB-X8 über klare und leicht verständliche Bedienelemente verfügt, ist das Erstellen eigener Sounds so einfach wie das Drehen an ein paar Reglern und das Speichern der gewünschten Sounds.
Drei in Einem
Der OB-X8 vereint die drei verschiedenen Voice-Architekturen des OB-X, OB-Xa und OB-8 in einem einzigen Instrument. Die einzelnen Filtertypen und andere einzigartige Eigenschaften jedes Modells wurden originalgetreu nachgebildet, so dass Sie den OB so authentisch wie möglich erleben können. Sie können sogar Elemente verschiedener Modelle mischen, um Sounds zu erzeugen, die mit den Originalen nie möglich waren. So leistungsfähig und vielseitig war noch nie ein Synthesizer aus der OB-Serie.
Seite 2022
OB-Kenner wissen, dass die unzähligen "Page 2″-Funktionen die verborgene Kraft des originalen OB-8 freisetzen. Wir haben alle klassischen Page 2-Parameter übernommen und neue für den 2022 geschaffen, so dass Sie direkten Zugriff auf mehr als 40 nuancierte Bedienelemente haben, wie z.B. zusätzliche SEM-Filtermodi, Panning pro Stimme, LFO-Keyboard-Tracking, Mod-Delay-Zeit und Hüllkurveninversion, unabhängige Pulsbreitensteuerung und vieles mehr.

Classic Oberheim Sound — Made Portable
The OB-6 desktop module is just as powerful and easy to use as its counterpart, the OB-6 Keyboard. The module has all of the same controls as the keyboard version and provides the same immediacy and ease of use. As with the OB-6 Keyboard, all parameters are at your fingertips, with full-sized knobs and switches and a comfortable, intuitive layout.
How does it sound? Massive — just like the keyboard, because on the inside, it’s exactly the same. The same analog signal path with discrete VCOs and VCFs. The same high-quality digital effects. The same classic Oberheim sound that has been earning raves from musicians around the world.
We’ve also added a poly chain feature so that any two OB-6s can be paired for twelve-voice polyphony! Two Legends.
One Instrument
Both the OB-6 desktop module and OB-6 keyboard are a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the two most influential designers in poly synth history, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. The OB-6 takes the classic bold Tom Oberheim sound — with its true voltage-controlled oscillators, 2-pole filter, and amplifiers — and adds modern enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. No other modern analog poly synth can boast such a pedigree or such a massive, in-your-face sonic signature.
Vintage SEM Tone
The OB-6 sound engine is inspired by Tom’s original SEM, the core of his acclaimed 4-voice and 8- voice synthesizers. It features two discrete voltage-controlled oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) per voice with continuously variable waveshapes (sawtooth and variable-width pulse, plus a triangle wave on oscillator 2). The classic Oberheim-inspired 2-pole, state-variable, resonant filter provides low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch functionality. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path.
Dual Effects
The dual effects section provides studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, flangers, and faithful recreations of Tom’s original phase shifter and ring modulator. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analog signal path. X-Mod and Poly Step Sequencing
Also present is X-Mod, which expands the tonal palette and makes it easy to create dramatic and unconventional sounds. Modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2, both with bi-polar control. Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, filter cutoff, and filter mode. The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. You can create sequences polyphonically, with rests, and sync to an external MIDI clock. The full-featured arpeggiator can be synced to external MIDI clock as well. Unison mode features configurable voice count (1-6 voices), chord memory, and key modes.
Easy to Program
The knob-per-function front panel puts virtually all OB-6 functions at your fingertips. Included are 500 permanent factory programs and 500 rewritable user programs. Turning on the Manual button enables live panel mode, in which the sound of the OB-6 switches to its current front panel settings. In this state, what you see is what you hear.
Easy to Play
This analog powerhouse is packed into a desktop module that’s small enough to fit in a backpack. It’s an ideal combination of portability and power for the project studio or the gigging musician.
A Modern Classic Reinvented
The Prophet Rev2 desktop module is just as powerful and easy to use as its counterpart, the Prophet Rev2 keyboard. The module has the same controls with the same the same ease of use as the keyboard version. Best of all, it sounds just as awesome, because it’s exactly the same on the inside — Dave Smith’s reimagining of his now-classic Prophet ’08 poly synth.
The Prophet Rev2 retains all of the key features of the Prophet ’08 and expands on them. It has twice the polyphony, twice the mod matrix, waveshape modulation on all waveforms, digital effects per layer in stacked or split voice mode, a polyphonic step sequencer per layer, and more. The result is a true analog powerhouse.
You can download any of the many existing libraries of Prophet ’08 sounds and they will not only sound identical, but can be enhanced with the new features.
16-Voice Polyphony
With 16 voices to play with, you have the freedom to allocate them as you wish. Play two-fisted chords via your MIDI controller, stack two 8-voice sounds for massive, complex textures, or split your controller into two completely separate 8-voice Prophet Rev2 instruments. An 8-voice version of the desktop module is also available, which, like the Prophet Rev2 keyboard, can later be expanded to 16-voices with the Expander Kit if desired.
Bold Sound
The Prophet Rev2 gets its bold, punchy sound from its 2/4 pole, low-pass, resonant Curtis filters per voice. These are the same filters used not only in the Prophet ’08, but in many classic instruments of the 70’s and 80’s. A separate Audio Mod control adds additional harmonic complexity and movement.
Waveshape Modulation
A powerful new feature unique to the Prophet Rev2 is waveshape modulation. You can now vary the “pulse width” of any of the four waveforms (sawtooth, saw+tri, triangle, square). Using the Shape Mod control, you can manually dial in a desired waveshape width or use an LFO or other mod source for continuously shifting timbre. Even single-oscillator sounds take on new depth and dimension. The tonal possibilities are vast.
Effects Per Layer
The effects section provides reverb, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phase shifter, ring modulation, and distortion. In stacked or split voice mode, you can apply a different effect to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated through the Mod Matrix.
Extended Mod Matrix
Also present from its predecessor is an easy-to-assign Mod Matrix, now twice as big, with 8 individual slots and many more sources/destinations. It’s a veritable sound designer’s playground.
Poly Step Sequencing
The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. You can create a different sequence for each layer when you are working in stacked or split voice mode, making it a powerful tool for composition or performance. The sequencer also functions as a modulation source in gated mode, allowing you to create up to 4 different 16-step sequences for complex modulation. Sequences allow ties and rests, and can sync to an external MIDI clock. The arpeggiator features note repeats, re-latching, and can be synced to external MIDI clock, as well.
Per-Knob Programmability
The knob-per-function front panel offers instant access to Prophet Rev2 functions. Included are 512 permanent factory programs and 512 rewritable user programs.
Eminently Playable
All of this polyphonic muscle is packed into a compact desktop module with an integrated power supply, USB support, and a crisp OLED display. Whether you’re gigging or recording, it’s an analog powerhouse like no other.
