OB Fat One MP3 (135 KB)
A thick, classic Oberheim string pad á la Van Halen's "Jump" and the first preset upon powering up the OB·12.

Eddy's Lead MP3 (120 KB)
Speaking of Van Halen, this is an overdriven lead line where I create a pseudo-wah effect by sweeping resonance with the ribbon controller and pull my "whammy bar" way up at the end for a reverse dive bomb effect.

Mystere MP3 (117 KB)
One of many auto-groove programs that uses the arpeggiator's random mode to mix it up nicely.

Morph MP3 (131 KB)
I use the mod wheel here to manually morph between the OB's "Ursula" preset and a variation on its "Trance" preset I came up with late one night.

Moogy Bass MP3 (97 KB)
The name says it all. A simple bass line with a cutoff frequency twist at the end. Try this one with the subwoofer all the way up.

Cage of Air MP3 (132 KB)
A dreamy, rhythmic preset that links the delay time parameter to the arpeggiator tempo.
