奥柏海姆八声部的奇妙探险

OB-E 是我们对传奇合成器 Oberheim 8-Voice 的独特诠释，也是首个获得 Tom Oberheim 亲自认可的软件乐器。不仅仅是一次复刻，OB-E 更是一种独特的音乐体验。它声音宏大，将基于 SEM（合成器扩展模块）的经典 8-Voice（又名 EVS）通过大量增强与新增功能带入了全新的音色领域。

八声部的核心理念其实非常简单：基于一个 SEM 模块，其中包含两个可输出脉冲波和锯齿波的 VCO、两个 ADS 包络发生器、一个 LFO 以及一个魔法般的多模式滤波器。单独来看，每个 SEM 是单音的，但在 8-Voice 中，8 个 SEM 由复音键盘控制触发，形成一个出色的八复音合成器。

这种独特的八声部结构首次在数字领域为音乐制作人、作曲家和音效设计师带来了全新的创意可能性。

增强却真实的乐器体验

我们细致地建模了合成器的每个部分，确保音色的真实还原，同时提供了对八个 SEM 的便捷软件控制。支持多种演奏模式：单音、连奏单音、复音、齐奏以及键盘分层模式。新增的 VCO3（可作为音频速率 LFO 使用）与力度感应、复音触后、MPE 控制等表演功能的加入，为 OB-E 带来了极其深度的音乐表现力。

与 Oberheim 官方合作，全新“Vintage”控制

在 OB-E 即将发布之际，我们收到了 Tom Oberheim 与前 Oberheim 工程师 Marcus Ryle 的来信，他们对 OB-E 表示认可并提议合作，协助我们完善 OB-E，并对 v2 更新给予官方认证。尽管 OB-E 曾获多个“2021最佳虚拟合成器”奖项，我们仍在 Tom 和 Marcus 的指导下进一步改进了音色表现，优化了 Detune（微调）功能，并加入了 Vintage 控制旋钮，可模拟原始硬件中那种微妙而真实的“老派”误差，带来更具生命力的 8-Voice 体验。

OB-E v2 的新增功能（现已支持 macOS 与 Windows）

增强版 OB-E v2 拥有更精准的 Oberheim 8-Voice 模拟，得益于全新 Vintage 控制与 Detune 参数的优化。此外，v2 还新增了：

  • 新混响效果器
  • 100 多个全新预设（总数超过 700）
  • 步进音序器的缩放功能
  • 全新的“鼓模式”：每个 SEM 可由独立按键触发
  • 10 组鼓组预设，轻松上手
  • Windows 支持、VST3 版本与 Apple Silicon 原生支持

如果你正在寻找新的模拟鼓机，OB-E v2 的鼓模式可能会带来惊喜。

创意音序器、立体延迟与混响效果器

不仅如此，我们以原始 MS-1 音序器为蓝本，集成了功能丰富且富有创意的 8 步音序器，带来原始硬件无法实现的灵活性与乐趣。在键盘分层模式下，将音序器指派给第 8 个 SEM，可在一个音色中实现完整的三部乐句组合。此外，全新的可路由立体声延迟和混响提供了出色的空间感和音色氛围。

不只是八个 SEM 的组合

8-Voice 并不只是简单地将八个 SEM 拼在一起。正是这八个独立且略有差异的 SEM 模块之间的微妙互动，构成了令人惊艳的 8-Voice 音色。OB-E 将这些细微的真实误差注入每个 SEM，使其达到一种超越纯粹数字重现的层次——模糊了软硬件之间的界限，成为最具真实感的 Oberheim SEM 和 8-Voice 模拟器。

700+ 工厂预设与强大预设管理器

OB-E 内置了由 Dave Spiers 及多位优秀音色设计师精心打造的 700 多个工厂音色预设。每个预设都经过分类、打标签处理，并可通过 OB-E 内建音色管理器（支持方向键快速浏览）轻松调用。

An Oberheim Octaphonic Adventure

The Oberheim OB-E is our take on the legendary Oberheim 8-Voice and the first software instrument ever to receive Tom Oberheim’s personal endorsement. More than just an emulation, the OB-E offers a unique musical experience. Sounding huge, it takes the iconic Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM) based 8-Voice (a.k.a the EVS) into new sonic territory via a raft of enhancements and additions.

The concept of the 8-Voice is actually very simple; based around a single SEM containing two VCOs with Pulse and Sawtooth waveforms, two ADS Envelope Generators, one LFO, and a magical Multi-Mode Filter. In isolation each SEM is monophonic, but in the 8-Voice, because there are eight SEMs triggered by a polyphonic keyboard, you have a superb eight note polyphonic synthesizer.

This unique Octaphonic architecture offers fresh and exciting creative possibilities to music producers, composers and sound designers for the first time in the digital realm.

An Augmented Yet Authentic Instrument

We’ve painstakingly emulated every section of the synth to ensure sonic authenticity while adding the convenience of software control over those eight SEMs. Mono, Mono Legato, Poly, Unison and Split keyboard modes are all available. Add to this the new VCO3, doubling as an audio rate LFO for each SEM, and a stack of additional performance controls via velocity, polyphonic after-touch and MPE control then you’ll begin to understand the depth of musical possibilities OB-E provides.

A Collaboration With Oberheim And New ‘Vintage’ Control

As we neared the release of OB-E, we were contacted by Tom Oberheim and Marcus Ryle (an Oberheim engineer in the 1980s) who were impressed enough to suggest a collaboration offering support to refine OB-E and to release the v2 update carrying their full endorsement. Despite receiving several Best Soft Synth 2021 awards, working under the guidance of Tom and Marcus, we further enhanced the already incredible sounding OB-E. Refining the Detune feature and adding a new Vintage control, dials in more realistic musical inaccuracies in line with the original instrument for a truly authentic 8-Voice experience.

New in OB-E v2 (Now macOS & Windows)

The enhanced OB-E v2 is a pin sharp emulation of the Oberheim 8-Voice thanks to the new Vintage control and a highly refined Detune parameter. In addition, it’s now available for both macOS and Windows. OB-E v2 features a new reverb, 100+ new Patches (bringing the total to over 700), a new Zoom function for the sequencer along with a crazy new Drum Mode enabling each SEM to be triggered by a dedicated key. We’ve also added 10 drum kit Presets to get you started. If you are looking for a new analog drum machine, give it a go, it might surprise you.

Creative Sequencer, Stereo Delay & Reverb

And that’s not all. With the original MS-1 sequencer as a starting reference point, we’ve integrated an extremely comprehensive and creative 8-step Sequencer providing a flexibility and fun-factor unavailable via the original hardware. In keyboard Split mode with the Sequencer routed to SEM 8, the OB-E provides the ability to create a complete three part soundscape within a single Patch. An all-new routable Stereo Delay and lush Reverb provides sonically complimentary effects.

More Than Eight Voices Put Together

The 8-Voice is not simply eight identical SEMs put together. The interaction of those 8 independent, and slightly different Synthesizer Expander Modules, plays a major role in making the 8-Voice’s sound so incredibly beautiful. The injection of these authentic inaccuracies into each of the eight SEMs in OB-E takes it to another level, one that blurs the lines between the hardware, and makes OB-E the most authentic emulation of the Oberheim SEM sound and 8-Voice instrument.

Finally, we’ve complemented our instrument with 700+ factory Patches designed by Dave Spiers and a roster of brilliant sound designers. Even better, each Patch has been tagged, categorised and is quickly accessible from the OB-E’s librarian (arrow navigation friendly).
