The synth sounds great from the little I played on it. Having trouble finding feedback on the net about it. Anyone know of the beast? Recommendations?

Hi all

Allow me to kinda revive the subject of this thread a bit. I've been playing around on an OB12 in a local store recently, and i was actually pleasantly surprised. I had some crazy sounds going in no-time, and i think the FM just rules on this beast. Despite it's 2 oscillators, i thnk it's at least as 'fat' as a Nova or JP-8000 (which i own both). The filter seems to go all the way up to self-oscillation, and i hear rumors that Oberheim tried it's very best to make it sound like the vintage analogue ones. In my opinion, they came a long way, but i'd have to have another listen before i can tell for sure.

Anyone considering buying anything VA should give this one a try.. (and then buy a S/NII

)

What is the deal on the pricing of this.
I see in SOS Turnkey (Sorry) the UK distributor has them advertised for about �800 but their american distributors list $2000 a price differential of some $800 or �530.
Now that is a lot of shipping costs.
So what is going on here?

Haven't checked in to this thread for a while. Thanks for the feedback. I liked the sounds of it too. I'd say it's well worth a look. The price in New York City at Sam Ash is about $1700. One fellow at Sam Ash told me that they have been seeling a lot of OB12s. But that could have been a sales pitch thingy. I hadn't met him before so he doesn't know me. There are a couple of guys there I know and trust.

its reviewed in this months sos, I didn`t read it thoroughly, but I think they described it as "...nearly a great synth..." so make of that what you will.
