A Little Synth History – Tom Oberheim

Delia Derbyshire — May 5, 1937 – July 3, 2001

Invention of Ambient

This video, about the history of Oberheim synthesizers, popped up on my YouTube suggested videos feed, and this morning I took a little break and watched it. It’s a pretty interesting video if you’re at all interested in the music industry in general, and electronic music history in particular. GForce Software has dozens of YouTube videos on the topic, along with tutorials on various their software-synths and plugins emulating many famous analog synths. So, check out this video about Tom Oberheim, and then browse the rest of their videos. Or better yet, buy some of their software!
