Oberheim is a renowned name in the music industry, famous for its role in shaping the sound of synthesizers since the 1970s. Founded by Tom Oberheim, the company has produced iconic analogue synthesizers and other electronic music equipment that helped define the sounds of genres like jazz, rock, and electronic music. Oberheim is particularly celebrated for creating warm, rich analogue tones that became a staple in the sound palettes of countless musicians and producers.

Their most influential products include the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 series, known for their distinctive polyphonic voices and lush sound. The SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) is another standout, often praised for its flexibility and characteristic filter. Oberheim’s designs, such as the Matrix series, also introduced digital control over analogue sound, blending modern functionality with traditional warmth. Today, Oberheim synthesizers are highly regarded both as studio workhorses and as collector’s items, with a legacy that continues to inspire new generations of electronic musicians.
