Information

Essential Information About the GForce Oberheim OB-1 Software
• Authentic emulation of the legendary Oberheim OB-1 (1978), developed in collaboration with Oberheim, delivering a rich and incisive analog character.
• Modern sound design powerhouse: polyphony up to 16 voices, Mono Unison, Legato, and Poly modes, plus extensive modulation via the X-Modifier.
• Fast workflow: resizable interface, advanced preset browser, and over 300 presets ready for production.
• Immediate creativity: arpeggiator, sequencer (with Macro4 automation), assignable macros, and built-in effects (chorus, delay, reverb) for techno, electro, and cinematic textures.

What is the GForce Oberheim OB-1 for?

GForce Oberheim OB-1 is a virtual instrument designed to recreate the "vintage" character of a programmable analog synth while adapting it for modern studio use. It excels at deep basses, aggressive leads, hypnotic sequences, and biting pads that cut through the mix. Its sonic identity balances massive warmth with pronounced edge, making it a natural choice for techno, electro, underground music, as well as for scoring when a strong harmonic signature is desired.

Main Features

A faithful engine, enhanced for modern production

The personality of the original OB-1 is preserved, with architecture enhanced by essential additions: new waveform, waveshape modulation, dedicated levels for oscillators, sub, and noise, subtle key tracking, cross-modulation, pan spread, plus LFO sync and retrigger options. You get analog character with precision and flexibility suited for today's sessions.

X-Modifier: fast, complex, and musical modulations

The X-Modifier technology allows direct modulation of most parameters without multiplying routings. The X-LFO and X-ADSR sections speed up programming and encourage expressive movements, ranging from subtle trembles to radical transformations, all while maintaining immediate musicality.

Performance, sequencing, and mix finishing integrated

With polyphony (up to 16 voices), unison, programmable velocity responses, and poly aftertouch, the OB-1 becomes a highly playable instrument. The arpeggiator and sequencer provide dynamic patterns, with step length and probability, plus a dedicated track for Macro4 automation. Finally, the high-pass filter and effects chorus, delay, reverb facilitate mix integration and atmosphere creation.

Questions frequently asked

Is the GForce Oberheim OB-1 compatible with Apple Silicon Macs?

Compatibility is announced for macOS 10.11.x or higher, with Intel or M1 processors. VST-3, AU, AAX formats and standalone use are supported.

What polyphony and playing modes are available?

Up to 16 voices of polyphony are available. Mono Unison, Legato, and Poly modes allow adapting the playing style, while programmable velocity and polyphonic aftertouch enhance expressiveness.

Is it possible to create sequences with step probability?

The arpeggiator and sequencer offer adjustable length and probability for each step. One track is dedicated to automation of Macro4 to evolve the sequences.

Which effects are included in this virtual instrument?

A chorus, delay, and reverb are integrated, complemented by a high-pass filter to adjust the balance in the mix.

Is the sound suitable for basses and electronic leads?

The architecture combines two oscillators with sub and noise having dedicated levels. Cross-modulation, sync, and waveshape modulation allow shaping deep basses or more biting leads. The X-Modifier provides modulations via the X-LFO and X-ADSR sections.
