Critic Reviews

Tom Oberheim Two Voice Pro

soundonsound.com

The Oberheim TVS-Pro impressively revives the classic Two Voice synthesizer with modern enhancements, offering rich, distinctive sounds and extensive connectivity through its semi-modular design. Its improved mini sequencer and expressive performance features like velocity and aftertouch are notable strengths. However, it falls short with no patch memories, a brief manual, and a high price tag, which may deter some potential buyers. Despite these drawbacks, the TVS-Pro's unique character and capabilities could make it a modern classic for those willing to invest in its rich sonic palette.
