LEGATO MODE concerns how the envelopes behave when multiple notes are played/held which exceed the number of voices available. The OB-Xd is also a “low-note” priority synth by default, however the VAM (Voice Allocation Mode) button switches the note-priority to “last-played” (which is more common on modern synths and will probably feel more intuitive to the average player). it prioritised the lowest note played if/when the number of notes being played exceeded the number of voices the synthesiser could produce. The original OB-X was a “low-note” priority synthesiser. These two features need a little more explanation! Let’s begin with VAM. The MIXER section is fairly self-explanatory, providing volume controls for both OSC as well as a third, NOISE OSC.
BRIGHT AMT - Adjusts the brightness of the upper harmonics.SYNC - Synchronises the +/- oscillations of both OSC1 and OSC2 resulting in a narrower, more precise tone.STEP - Switches the OSC tuning dials from continuous to stepped (exact pitches).XMOD (cross-modulation) - Modulates OSC1 according to (the tuning and amplitude of) OSC2 - great for chorus-like modulating effects and/or FM-style grittiness.When neither sawtooth or pulse is selected, the OSC produces a triangle wave. There are four OSC shapes: triangle, sawtooth and pulse (with adjustable pulse width - PW), and a ramped pulse-wave, which is achieved by selecting both sawtooth and pulse options combined. This draws the user’s attention first and foremost to manipulating each oscillator’s individual fine tuning (spanning four octaves!), invoking all manner of narrow/loose unsynchronised unison, invoking thickening, chorus-like effects, tonal intervals, or even dissonant textures and soundscapes. With that in mind, like a bold statement of intent on the designers’ part, the dials at the very top of the OSC section (which one might intuitively assume to be volume/loudness of each OSC) are actually tuning/pitch. Again music for deep relaxation.It’s arguable that a great deal of the OB-X’s tonal philosophy stems from the relationship between the two primary oscillators (as opposed to filter characteristics). I love the dissolution of the motive at 3:45. Ha i think this groovy part at the end if my fav part, nice track as always! Comment by andreas pota "this is a deliberate bladerunner homage?!" Comment by Taronium But it's still super pretty! Comment by Taronium Wished the strings would feel much farther back somehow.like they're too close.
Yup, this is a great, great moment! My fav, too! Comment by Taronium Other than that, excellent mix and sound design. One thing I miss in your track is a little bit more of low end. Interesting sound design! Comment by Daaf I really like this track, very well composed! I would have added more volume to the drum buss :) Comment by katalany Something that could be produced in the 80's (if someone could afford an orchestra of Oberheim synths). Great work! A perfect homage for this synthesizer and it's era. Great melody and sound on the lead! Comment by Infravolt Really like this part! The long decay of the bright pads/hit from the start of this section keeps the texture interesting/dynamic Comment by CarlĬlassic dark photonic moment :) good one! Comment by Carl Lovely start - the el piano sound and strings are great. They sounded a little distracting at first. I get what you're doing here, and it's very nice, but I think it would have worked a little better to introduce the bkgd arps before the sweeping string melody, then they would have kept reading at the lower level. This is so nice and musical - great song! All the production stuff is very small compared to how lovely the piece is. Very good to listen to Comment by ThePresentīeautiful introduction Comment by JuergenK This part is really you Comment by ThePresent :) that whistle is nice Comment by ThePresent Wonderful blend of sounds and composition already Comment by Benjamin_D Your music has an integrity and cohesion to it that I find remarkable - it's what happens when you deliver sounds, composition and mix all together.

Für mich ein klarer Fav, Grüsse aus dem Nordraum:) Comment by Kraftraum Man, oh man: so viel Dynamik und toll arrangierte Sounds.
