The Oberheim OB-1 was a monophonic analog synthesizer introduced in 1978, and the first analog synthesizer capable of storing patches.[1] The design was based on the SEM and intended to be used for live performance. Notable users were Tangerine Dream, Rush, Vince Clarke, and The Grid.
The OB-1 was essentially an all-in-one, pre-routed Oberheim SEM and had one voice of polyphony, with two VCOs and a switchable multimode filter. It also contained an envelope control for both the filter and amplitude.
It is rumored that Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars was named after one of these synths used for the THX 1138 motion picture soundtrack produced at Lucasfilm, however no quotes can be produced to confirm nor deny this rumor.[2]
