Gforce new Oberheim OB-X

[Vst0nE]

price £59.99+£12VAT=£71.99 (not appealing at all)

owners of OBE-SEM should have better pricing but i had £65.99 (inclusive VAT) so not much difference

 

[Jim Roseberry]

Love the sound of the OB-X.

Like the extended features of this... so I'm going to grab it.

 

Had the OB-X8 for a while... but just couldn't justify the size/cost.

[Tim Smith]

Anyone compared this to the Arturia verson?

[cclarry]

Technically covered here, ,but not directly

Cheaper for UK customers to buy from JRR than from GForce despite the existing customer discount.

Especially with code "group"!

[Craig N]

As an owner of OB-E and Sem it was definitely cheaper to buy from Gforce directly, 39. 99 gbp converts to 49 USD vs 65 USD to buy from JRR with the coupon group. 

Was holding my finger on the trigger when it appeared on JRR as I thought if I waited they may be asked to remove the coupons like some brands do, locking in the $77 price, but I waited, and got it for 49 usd a couple hours later so I'm chuffed ?

Love these new GForce synths.

Oh no, not another synth I will actually use. And not now! Wait, they gave discount for owners of the other models... oh well, kids will get less sweets this month ?

Via https://www.gforcesoftware.com/ login to your account then go to the product page, it should show you the price you would be charged, I don't think I had to add it to the cart to see the discount but you could do that just to be sure. Since I already owned SEM and OB-E the price for OB-X was only 39 GBP.

Best you might be able to do is $68 via Thomann assuming you don't get whacked with some kind of additional tax.

Unless you're a gambling man and want to try what people were talking about on GS; buy the Oberheim bundle on JRR shop with the forum code for $132.61 USD and see if it still redeems with OB-X included. Worst case scenario, you would likely be eligible for the 39 GBP upgrade fee on Gforcesoftware.com after redeeming the bundle, best case scenario you get OB-X "for free". The bundle with the updated contents including all 3 listed on GForce's site is 169 GBP.

I must be a gambling man... (I'm not).. but this was too good to pass up and yes I caved, but yes, I got OB-X as well ?

GForce stuff is about as analog sounding and warm as it gets for virtual instruments. Totally worth it.

[pseudopop]

Damn you all. I wasn't going to buy this, but after trying the code GROUP my itchy finger is now on the trigger...

[pseudopop]

...and I pulled it. Now I just have to sell my unregistered license of Oberheim SEM to someone so I can convince myself that this was money well spent.

I take no responsibility for that, although I caved as well and went from not buying to buying in a very short time... Glad I did though ?
