Iconic Oberheim synths used by countless legendary musicians
ICONIC OBERHEIM SYNTHS USED BY COUNTLESS LEGENDARY MUSICIANS
Here at GForce, we’ve painstakingly emulated every section of the Oberheim OB-1, Oberheim OB-X, Oberheim OB-E and Oberheim SEM to ensure sonic authenticity, right down to the analog inaccuracies of the original hardware instruments thus blurring the lines between analog character and digital precision. Every functional addition to these instruments was chosen to compliment the existing feature set and, very specifically, because it enhanced the sonic and musical qualities of the originals.
The bundle now also includes Oberheim DMX and OB-EZ.
In the decades following the release of this now iconic synth, the Oberheim SEM™ and OB-X™ have been used by countless legendary musicians, making them both of the most revered synthesizers of all time.
The Oberheim Bundle includes
- The Oberheim OB-X – The world’s first officially endorsed emulation of this famous 80s synth. Yet it sounds modern and lends itself superbly to Electronica, EDM, Drum and Bass, Ambient, Rock, Prog Rock, Hip Hop and more.
- The Oberheim OB-E v2 – The award winning, Tom Oberheim endorsed emulation of the unique Oberheim 8 Voice. Eight SEM voices, each subtly different and independently programmable. This gives the instrument a unique architecture amongst synths and, most importantly, a musicality other synths struggle to match. A huge, sublime Patch library offers a fabulous starting point for those in need of instant inspiration.
- The Oberheim SEM – A precise, authentic monophonic Oberheim SEM experience. A big but beautifully creamy sound in a small package with a host of additional features provide this fabulously simple synth with incredibly sonic flexibility.
- The Oberheim OB-EZ – an OB-E with the same FAT Oberheim 8-Voice Sound designed in a new, focused interface. It was created for producers who want to inject that thick, organic and majestic sound in their tracks quickly with a new streamlined workflow.
- [New] The Oberheim DMX – an ode to the legendary drum machine of the past, seamlessly integrated with the speed and versatility of today’s digital realm.
- [New] The Oberheim OB-1 – The world’s first and officially endorsed emulation of 1978 OB-1. Its rich, aggressive sound and expansive feature set make it an essential hustler.
And with Tom Oberheim’s seal of approval, you can be confident in their authenticity.

2. OBERHEIM OB-E
OBERHEIM OB-E
The Oberheim OB-E realises the legendary Oberheim® 8-Voice in software and is the very first software instrument to receive Tom Oberheim’s personal endorsement.
PATCH SELECTION
700+ factory Patches saved in various categories and with tags.
THE MODULE - FRONT
The core building block of the OB-E is the Oberheim SEM. Each SEM has 3 Oscillators, a Multimode Filter, 2 Envelopes and modulation controls.
THE MODULE - REAR
Each SEM has both front and rear panels. The rear of each allows us to extend the range of functions programmable in each SEM.
MIXER MODULES
The OB-E groups SEMs 1-4 into the LOWER MODULE mixer and SEMs 5-8 into the UPPER MODULE mixer. Individual volume and pan for each SEM can be set here along with a MASTER control for each group.
ZOOM
ZOOM a SEM to enlarge the interface for detailed editing. ZOOM places the front and rear of the selected SEM side by side within OB-E.
UI SCALING
The OB-E allows you to scale the size of the user interface for both reduction and enlargement.
GLOBAL CONTROL
The OB-E offers a range of Global Controls including the all important GROUP edit mode. When GROUP is selected, the parameters knobs of OB-E glow green indicating that editing one parameter on any SEM is mirrored across all SEMs.
THE OB-E – AN OBERHEIM OCTAPHONIC SONIC ADVENTURE
The Oberheim OB-E is our take on the legendary Oberheim® 8-Voice and the first software instrument ever to receive Tom Oberheim’s personal endorsement.
More than just an emulation, OB-E offers a unique musical experience. Sounding HUGE, it takes the iconic Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM®) based 8-Voice into new sonic territory via a raft of enhancements and additions.
The concept of the original 8-Voice is actually very simple; based around a single SEM containing two VCOs with Pulse and Sawtooth waveforms, two ADS Envelope Generators, one LFO, and a magical Multi-Mode Filter. In isolation each SEM is monophonic, but in the 8-Voice, because there are eight different SEMs triggered by a polyphonic keyboard, you have a superb eight note polyphonic synthesizer.
This unique Octaphonic architecture offers fresh and exciting creative possibilities to music producers, composers and sound designers for the first time in the digital realm.
ARTIST'S OPINION
THIS IS SO BLOODY GOOD. GREAT TO PROGRAM, VERY RESPONSIVE AND WITH THAT RICH DELICIOUS SOUND. IF IT WERE EDIBLE, I’D EAT IT. WELL DONE TEAM GFORCE.

THE OBERHEIM SEM – A SIMPLE MONOPHONIC SYNTH WITH A HUGE SOUND
When Tom Oberheim created the first Oberheim® Synthesizer Expander Module (model SEM-1) in 1974, he had one goal – to make a synth that sounded great, whilst being extremely simple to use. In the decades since the release of this iconic synth, it’s been used by countless legendary musicians, making the SEM one of the most revered synthesizers of all time.
As well as painstakingly recreating the huge, unmistakable sound of the SEM, the GForce Oberheim SEM also recreates the ethos of the original – a simple monophonic synth that allows you to shape incredible sounds in an instant. And with Tom Oberheim’s seal of approval, you can be confident in its authenticity. Add to this more than 400+ categorised patches, and inspiration is just moments away.

OBERHEIM OB-1 – ASTOUNDING, ANGRY, ALMIGHTY.
It’s incredible that the hardware Oberheim OB-1 has remained under the radar for so long. With the GForce OB-1 emulation, designed in collaboration with Oberheim, we’re bringing this classic synth to the fore. The GForce Oberheim OB-1 broadens the Oberheim sound palette in ways that we believe will see it become a big favourite among techno and electro producers and underground artists, as well as composers for its character and anyone cherishing vintage analogue tones.

Even Daft Punk's "Discovery" album owes a nod to the DMX.
