GForce’s OB-E has won plaudits for being a spot-on software emulation of the Oberheim 8 Voice, but its multi-module architecture might feel a little daunting to those who just want great sounds, fast. And so now we have OB-EZ, a stripped-back version of the plugin that promises to combine carefully-selected presets with a streamlined control set.
Don’t go thinking that this compromises on sound quality, though; the 260+ patches that come with OB-EZ are designed to have just as much fatness and punch as those that are supplied with the OB-E. The difference is that they’re more easily tweakable.
