of Oberheim synthesizers. The design philosophy behind it was to toke all of the features of the OB-Xe, add as many new features as were economically feasable, and redesign oil of the circuitry for increased reliability and lower cost. The result is a synthesizer with 90 fewer calibrations and 11 less circuit boards, and with many of the remaining

(December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Oberheim Electronics is a manufacturer of audio synthesizers and a variety of other electronic musical instruments. Founded in 1969 by Tom Oberheim (a former designer and contract manufacturer for Maestro).
The OB-6 takes the classic bold Tom Oberheim sound — with its true voltage-controlled oscillators, 2-pole filter, and amplifiers — and adds modern enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more.
Founded in 1969 by Tom Oberheim (a former designer and contract manufacturer for Maestro).
In July 2019, JC Curleigh, CEO of Gibson, returned the Oberheim trademark and IP back to Tom Oberheim as "a gesture of goodwill to the musical instrument industry."
Tom Oberheim's classic two-voice synth gets the Arturia treatment in the form of the SEM V. Introduced in 1974, the Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expansion Module) was developed as an addition to a keyboard synth or a sequencer, not as an instrument in its own right.
Arturia has once again delivered a faithful recreation of another analog classic with SEM V. SEM V is a highly musical instrument that evokes the original in so many surprising ways.
The Oberheim SEM is my favourite synthesizer in my studio - with the Arturia version I always have it with me. The SEM V has a simplicity and elegance that was a feature of many 70’s synths. Arturia have managed to replicate these qualities as well as adding some very cool innovations to the original design.
The SEM module was originally made to compliment other synthesizers but later came into its own as a great sounding synth. The unique filter that allowed continuously variable operation from low pass to high pass gave it a sound that no other had. When multiple SEM's were connected into a 4 or 8 voice polyphonic system, it became a thing of beauty.
