ABOUT the OB-I (or OBI) was the successor of the SEM-Synths it lost the morphing filter but got more features like Crossmod. it still sounds nice, but a bit "harder" than the SEM but still better than others, still.. btw: Obi Wan ?? yes, the name is just OB-1 but it simply looks like Obi Wan from Star Wars, huh? and it had 8 memory spaces.
ABOUT Der OB-I war ein Nachfahre der SEM-basierten Synthesizer, er hatte leider nicht mehr den morph-Filter, dafür aber mehr Möglichkeiten. Etwas weniger warme Filter im Vergleich, dennoch immernoch besser als vieles andere.. und der Name erinnert natürlich an OBI WAN .. und er hat 8 Speicher (!)

VERSION

OBERHEIM or Gibson, Oberheim-Viscount Joint Venture, Viscount

today owned by Gibson and lendet to Viscount. Tom Oberheim started it (of course he left when Gibson took over). He built Synth Modules (SEM) to be played via other synthesizers and ppl wanted him to built synths: he did. he took SEMs and made polyphonic synths out of them. the latest synth was the Xpander and Matrix12, the OB-Mx wasn't a real Tom Oberheim anymore, so they got Don Buchla finishing it (it did not sell well), so the OB12 as only the name in common with the founder. Mr Oberheim tried again under the Marion System name.

The "real" Tom Oberheim is now producing under his full name guess his site - www.tomoberheim.com
