GForce Software OB-E

It’s one of the only emulations from any company I still like and use (Repro1, Model 84, plus one or two more).

Thanks, I had a feeling that might be the case.

It is still as fabulous as it was in 2021.

Best One...

I also like their SEM, which is one module (the OBE is eight).

The two voice one is one I'd get over the SEM if I didn't have it. Since I have the SEM and OB-E I'll probably never bother with the other one unless it's virtually free.

Well….had to buy their OB-X a week ago….just had to…..

That’s one I’ve deleted. Not among the best for my ears.

Really like GForce's TVS Pro. Fabulous piece of work that commendably captures the essence of the original TVS with substantially expanded and enhanced utility. Lovely sound.

Different strokes for different ears. All their softsynths are really great.

For me, I'll just get more 'mileage' out of using the OB-X for upcoming projects and future work.

Kind of a 'missing link' for my ears!

How is this holding up with users since it's 2021 release?
I tried the demo a few weeks ago & see it's now on sale. Are there any better choices or newly released products that compete? So far I find I prefer it over the several others I've demoed.

Which vendor has it on sale at the moment?

Well, you can program all the SEM sounds in the OB-E just by turning off seven modules. What I like is some of the "lead" sounds, which are great for melodies.

So far the only other Geforce synth besides OB-E and SEM I've kept installed (I don't have the Mellotron one or TVS as it's too duplicative, and the OB-1 or whatever gave me a headache looking at it so never bought it) is Axxess. All the rest have come and gone from my drive and don't hold up / differentiate themselves enough to me. Think I got the Bass Station one for cheap or free and that didn't last.

I do have 3 hardware analog synths so my ears also are used to what they can do and sound like, which influences my perception of virtual analogs. Plus, I clearly have and don't hide that I have biases and favorites.

Long-term loves:
OB-E
SEM
Axxess
Model 84 (I have 72 and 82 or whatnot and deleted them)
Twin3
Repro1 (I deleted Repro 5 as I never loved it or the poly Prophet sound)
MultiPoly

On "probation" on the way toward probably deletion are:
Hive2 (I also have Serum2 and Spire for the wavetable-y side)
miniSynX
Phoscyon
Polysix
TAL J8

Strangely, I seem to not be a big fan of uhe synths or effects. Surprised me, but true - Repro1 is the only one I genuinely love.

OB-X is fantastic and very versatile, love how easy to program it is
