bx_oberhausen - Oberwave

bx_oberhausen Presets: Oberwave

Oberwave is a pack of 95 synthwave and outrun presets for Brainworx bx_oberhausen, Plugin Alliance's take on the Oberheim SEM.

It turns bx_oberhausen into a proper synthwave machine: crisp leads, wide stereo basses and pads with that midnight drive down the coast feel. Built for synthwave, retro and outrun, and plenty of it will happily sit in a modern pop or house track too.

Why the SEM suits synthwave

It's all in the filter. The SEM uses a 2-pole state-variable filter, gentler than a Moog ladder, and you can sweep it continuously from low-pass through notch to high-pass. The result is bright, open tones that sit on top of a mix rather than fighting the kick for the low end. Leads cut through without needing much EQ, and the basses stay round without turning to mud.

Oberwave leans into that. The twin VCOs, FM and the SEM's simple ADS envelopes do most of the work, and bx_oberhausen's M/S filter routing gets used to push the basses and pads out wide. If you're after gritty, saturated vintage, this isn't that pack. For clean, polished outrun it's just the ticket.
