OBERHEIM SYNTH

Anyone know if this is possible on an OBXa? To date I have not been able to find anything close. If it is not then what can do it? The band above uses NORDs I'm pretty sure but there must be some analog gear that makes that sound.

Sincerely,

Apparently they're using a Roland D50, which is digital......but an Ensoniq ESQ-1 will get you there and it's a digital/analog hybrid.....but to get there in analog you could get a Roland VP-330......I'm presuming you have deep, deep pockets

Yeah I have certainly heard this sound on a lot of digital PCM waveform sysnths

It would be worth looking into formant filtering - you can achieve this via plugins in post or there are some modular options available too I believe.
You essentially want a few key resonant peaks in your filter, and their placement dictates the Ahh vs Oooh vs Eeeh:

Ah yes the Yamaha FS1R (Formant Synth) was very good at this !
