OBERHEIM SYNTH

These were manufactured by Viscount for Gibson and are highly regarded among those I know who haveon, including a prominent Waldorf/PPG owner I know. I don't expect it sounds like a real Oberheim, but it does have one of the better user interfaces fora virtual analog synth. Probably worth between 600-900$ though I've seen them go for more. If you get one give us a full report! -pc

Good for weird pads, take a look at jexus' videos on youtube. The only problem with his videos is he can get the best out of anything so if your not that great at synthesis it can sometimes be hard to achieve what he does with synths.
