In his latest video, synthesist Alex Ball takes an in-depth look at Tom Oberheim‘s first synths, the Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM) from 1974 and the Oberheim Two Voice from 1975.
The SEM was one of the first all-in-one voice modules, featuring two oscillators, a variety of modulation sources, a 2-pole multimode VCF & VCA. The Two Voice combines two SEM modules with a keyboard controller & sequencer.
In the video, Ball discusses the history of the two synths, shares several extended performance demos, and discusses famous uses of the Two Voice.
