The best modern analog synth in decades!
Not only did Oberheim give us a modern analog 8voice synthesizer. But they also includes all the preset/patches from the legendary OB-8, OB-X and OB-Xa!!! It’s a 4-in 1 synthesizer… And while on the topic of presets, the OB-X8 includes 400 factory programs, including all of the factory sounds originally found in the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8. There are over 600 user-programmable preset locations in total.

One of the best sounding synths in the motif line
One of the best workstation synths ever! It was definitely ahead of its time and is still considered one of the greats even 15 years later!

One of the best samplers of all time!
Without a doubt Ensoniq’s ASR10 is one of the best and legendary samplers of all time! It was decades before it’s time and still has companies trying to keep up with it… It’s one of those machines like the MPC and SP12/1200s. It has its own sound that no other filters/samplers can match

Classic Ensoniq Synth
The TS series have always had their own lane. Has its own great classic sounds. It’s pretty bulky, big and weights alot compared to its little brother the TS-10, but both are pretty much identical internally other than the polyphonic aftertouch and the ts12 having channel aftertouch..
