Oberheim OB-8 (new Fatar keybed, factory MIDI)
Pristine OB8 from 1984.
- Brand new Fatar TP/9S semi-weighted synth action keyboard/keybed.
- Factory MIDI.
- All presets and page 2 functions.
- Cleaned and serviced.
- Lithium battery replaced and memory bank chips upgraded (Synthchaser).
- Light wood panels.
- Includes original manual.
For me, the charm of the OB8 is the ability to stereo pan individual voices, split/ binaural mode, and the choir like ensemble effect of 8 different analog voice cards, each customizable with three trim pots (pitch, filter, envelope).This OB8 has factory MIDI (not a retrofit), which is rare from what I have seen. I also own the newer OBX8, and while both have their charms, the OBX8 does not function like an OB8.
I'm the second owner. I acquired it from a prominent LA musician.
- Functionally and cosmetically in Excellent condition.
- You're welcome to come play it and have a look.
- I would greatly prefer local-pickup. I've spent a lot of time restoring and calibrating this synth. I would like to share those insights with the next owner. I live just outside of NYC. If you live in the northeast, I might be able to deliver it. It's large, but not super heavy for a polysynth (only 38lbs).
