Mike,
As someone who really understands the capabilities of the great
Oberheims, I'd be interested to hear your take on the OB12, the "the
reissued digital copy". I recently purchased one. It seems to me that
Viscount really took some time and thought into modelling the
behaviors of analog filters in this board. Whether they behave like
filters in an old Oberheim, I haven't a clue. They also did a nice
job with creating a slight "drift" in the Oscs. It really seems to
breath in some patches. It doesn't seem to have the bright, shrill
sounds or precision of the Access' or Novos' but it certainly has
warmth and subtlty.
By the way, Viscount was shamed early on with buggy software in the
OB12. As deep as I have gone, haven't had any problems in
programming.
