    Episode 74: The legend of Oberheim OB-X

    Some synthesizers seen to be raised to a mythical status. That’s definitely the case for the Oberheim OB-X. The way people talk about this legend made me wonder if all the hype was true, and I have to say, I was surprised by what I discovered! You be the judge though… Was the OB-X over hyped, or do you feel it was really THAT amazing?
