Oberheim OB8 sounds

2000-11-09 by earthbulb@hotmail.com

Does anyone know anywhere i could get some An1x patches that sound
like the oberheim ob8 ? I specifically need something which sounds
like the start of that van halen song "why cant this be love".

Any help owuld be most appreciated.

Hi EB,
You might want to try this bank that Elson put together some time ago:

or maybe these from Yamaha:

Hee hee. :)

For Earthbulb, I have the infamous VH "Jump" sound on my patch set, so all
you need to do is tweak it, maybe soften the attack a bit and there you go.
Almost all the synth sounds in the 5150 era are just variations on the
"Jump" sound, layered with a piano.
