GForce Software launches Oberheim OB-E v2 for Windows and Mac A collaboration with Tom Oberheim, GForce Software has announced the release of Oberheim OB-E v2, an update to the software synthesizer instrument that brings an even more authentic emulation of the Oberheim 8-Voice, and the first ever software instrument with Tom’s personal endorsement.
The update to the synth includes a new reverb, over 100 new patches, the ability to Zoom on the sequencer, a crazy new Drum Mode which enables each SEM to be played by a dedicated key, and much more. Last year, as we neared the release of OB-E®, we were contacted by Marcus Ryle on behalf of Tom Oberheim. Marcus is a co-founder of Line 6® but also a former Oberheim Developer who contributed to the OB-Xa, DSX, DMX, OB-8, Xpander and Matrix 12. Through Marcus, OB-E found its way to the ears of Tom Oberheim and they were both impressed enough to suggest a collaboration to refine the instrument and release an 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 knob, dials in more realistic musical inaccuracies in line with the original instrument for a truly authentic 8-Voice experience. We’ve taken time to get this right and implement it in a way that does not compromise the sound of your existing presets. Your track will sound the same, if you want it to… Oberheim OB-E v2 features New: 100+ New presets. New: Vintage knob & Refined Detune parameter. New: Matrix Reverb. New: Drum Mode and 10 drum kits presets. New: PC support, VST3 and Apple Silicon Native. New: Sequencer Zoom. New: Flexible scaling UI.
