Oberheim OB-12, ive heard nasy stories (and good) it's only 499.99 and i really need a keyboard and the sound on sound review was quite good, although it could of been some 90 year old house wife reviewing it (no offence to 90 year old house wives tho). Ive also loked at some of the previous comments on it here at dt and varoius other fourms, suppose i really need to play it, i tryed my local dawsons for a demo at no avail so i e-mailed oberheim who are tyring to sort somthing out with turnkey to mabe send me one to dawsons (or my house) for evaluation.

whatdaya think

i like progaming and weird sounds and i like me underdogs.

Gibson buys Oberheim.
Gibson ruins Oberheim.
Gibson allows 3rd rate company to produce products bearing Oberheim's name

Replace Oberheim with Steinberger, Tobias, Kramer, or Opcode as necessary.

Can you tell I don't like Gibson? ;)

True. They certainly haven't promoted it well. I liked it lots when I played with it but I don't think Gibson looks at it as a big priority. Bummer.

its not supposed to be a bad synth at all, just doesn't sound like a virus so it got ignored.

I;m thinking of getting one of these too (they are $599 at musicians friend), it sounds very digital, It would probably be good for ambinet or electro, but not so much for drum and bass, or nu school breaks. i think that the price drop on the ob-12, and MS-2000 is due to the k-station and SH-32, as these VA's (which both went for about a grand last year) or going to get compared to those VA's then they would to the Q's,viruses and nords of the world.
