One of the most prolific figures in the history of synthesizers is maverick engineer and designer Tom Oberheim. His efforts can be heard on hundreds of albums, decades of pioneering instrument design, and experienced through conveniences we take for granted every day, including preset memory and MIDI. His influence is as vast as any, and his designs have stood the test of time better than most, with models in production today that have changed little in over 40 years. The sound of his instruments is distinct and inherently musical, with a character that is often described as “lush” and “massive,” and rightly so.
Creating a set of instruments that lived up to this legacy proved to be the biggest challenge of all; there was just too much good stuff out there. We started with a list of our favorite synthesizers, and after tracking them down (not easy in some cases!), we spent hundreds of hours researching their unique sonic qualities and handcrafting new sounds for you to experience. The result is 1,468 presets built on 49,252 samples, all recorded from real hardware instruments, giving you the very best of what these instruments have to offer with the convenience of modern software.
All sounds in OB Legacy are fully editable and neatly packaged into hardware interfaces, giving you a real feel for the synths when tweaking and performing. The included presets run the gamut of types and styles, including plenty of bread-and-butter covers, vintage classics and modern staples. Quickly browse categories, audition presets, then edit, layer and even completely transform sounds to suit your needs, all with the authentic warmth, character and grain of real analogue circuits.
