Oberheim OB-Xa sound design tutorial
Vintage synthesizer sound tutorial featuring the Oberheim OB-Xa
part one: the haunting pad sound in Foreigners “Waiting For A Girl Like You”
the sound in the original song is made with the huge Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer (1981) and layered with a simple OB sweep pad sound.
very important is the filter resonance (12dB/oct) and the pitch modulation.
Sounds in the series include:
- The Oberheim pad sound from Foreigner’s Waiting for a Girl Like You;
- Ultravox ARP Odyssey lead sound;
- Oberheim OB-X pad sound from Killing Joke’s Love Like Blood; and
- The classic Rush Tom Sawyer Moog Taurus bass sound.
