Volkov Sound Library for OB-Xd

About Volkov

Volkov is a sound designer and synthesist from Saint Petersburg. He started on borrowed Soviet monosynths in the late nineties and spent years chasing the sound of the Oberheim OB-X and OB-Xa he first heard on records from the early eighties. The two-oscillator, two-envelope, one-filter layout of those instruments has stayed his reference for what a polysynth should be: few controls, each one doing a lot, with a filter that sits somewhere between smooth and unstable.

These banks were built entirely on OB-Xd. Volkov's approach is to program by ear and keep patches playable: sensible velocity response, moderate levels, and modulation that reacts to the keyboard rather than running on its own.
