(10) OBERHEIM OB-8 / SEQUENTIAL 0B-6
Used heavily on Michael Jacksons 'Thriller' album, this has an unmistakable lush sound and features on tracks by such artists as Prince, Paul McCartney, Van Halen, The Police and so many more....
Extra waveforms and tempo-syncing LFO enhance sound design capabilities and DAW integration
A virtual PG-1000 controller (based on the optional hardware controller available for the original D-50) greatly simplifies sound design, allowing you to customize preset sounds and build unique voices from scratch
All the original presets plus fresh new sounds and additional patch downloads
No discerning recording studio in the 80's was complete without a DX7. Whitney Houston, Madonna, Michael Jackson & A-ha all used this on number 1 hits.
(2) ROLAND JUPITER 8 / ROLAND CLOUD JUPITER 8 / JUPITER-X
Could easily have taken the top spot. Such a beautiful looking and sounding synth. Another icon of the 80's as used by Quincy Jones, Duran Duran & ABBA.
