In the decades since the release of this iconic synth, it\u2019s been used by countless legendary musicians, making the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0one of the most revered synthesizers of all time.<\/p>\n<p>As well as painstakingly recreating the huge, unmistakable sound of the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>GForce Oberheim SEM<\/strong>\u00a0also recreates the ethos of the original \u2013 a simple monophonic synth that allows you to shape incredible sounds in an instant. And with\u00a0<strong>Tom Oberheim\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0seal of approval, you can be confident in its authenticity. Add to this more than 400+ categorised patches, and inspiration is just moments away.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<h3 class=\"title title--divider-regular\">MADE IN COLLABORATION WITH OBERHEIM<i class=\"icon icon--divider\"><\/i><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<p>They first worked with <strong>Tom Oberheim<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Marcus Ryle<\/strong>\u00a0(an inspirational Oberheim engineer during the 80s) when creating the\u00a0<strong>GForce Oberheim OB-E\u00ae v2<\/strong>. During this time, Tom and Marcus revealed that they felt there were no software emulations of the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0that accurately recreated the sound and the ethos of the original monophonic\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>. They decided to change that, and under the close guidance of Tom and Marcus, they\u2019ve developed the <strong>GForce Oberheim SEM<\/strong>\u00a0to ensure an experience that is truly authentic to the original instrument.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<h3 class=\"title title--divider-regular\">THE AUTHENTIC SEM SOUND<i class=\"icon icon--divider\"><\/i><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<p>Centered around two VCOs with Pulse and Sawtooth waveforms, two ADS Envelope Generators, one LFO, and a magical, legendary Multi-Mode Filter, the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0sound is more than the sum of its parts. In the\u00a0<strong>GForce Oberheim SEM<\/strong>, every section of the synth has been painstakingly emulated to ensure sonic authenticity. They\u2019ve even modelled the authentic analog inaccuracies of the original <strong>SEM<\/strong>, blurring the lines between analog character and digital precision. All this makes the\u00a0<strong>GForce Oberheim SEM<\/strong>\u00a0the most authentic emulation of the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0sound available.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<h3 class=\"title title--divider-regular\">SIMPLE NEVER SOUNDED SO GOOD<i class=\"icon icon--divider\"><\/i><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<p>The beauty of the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0truly lies in its simplicity. With a refined design and feature set, you can easily create warm basses, soaring leads and sweeping arps in an instant. This allows you to spend less time shaping your sounds, and more time making music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<h3 class=\"title title--divider-regular\">ENHANCED WHERE IT MATTERS<i class=\"icon icon--divider\"><\/i><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-bp1-12 col-bp3-9 col-bp5-6\">\n<p>While staying true to the original\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>, they also added a number of enhancements to make the <strong>GForce Oberheim SEM<\/strong>\u00a0even more useful for modern music production. Alongside a new VCO3, which doubles as an LFO with audio rate for additional modulation and FM possibilities, the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong> now has tempo-syncable LFOs with multiple wave shapes, and a host of performance controls via velocity and aftertouch. They\u2019ve also integrated a fun, fast arpeggiator &amp; sequencer, and added a stereo delay and a beautifully lush reverb to sonically compliment your sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, they\u2019ve included 400+ factory patches designed by top sound designers, each created to demonstrate the incredible sonic character of the <strong>SEM<\/strong>. Every patch has been categorised and is quickly accessible from the patch browser (arrow navigation friendly). The\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0even integrates with the\u00a0<strong>GForce Oberheim OB-E<\/strong>, allowing users to load their\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>\u00a0presets in either device. This enables you to quickly sketch out your sounds in the\u00a0<strong>SEM<\/strong>, and then make them polyphonic in an instant.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gforcesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GForce-SEM-Extended-1600x692.png\" alt=\"Oberheim SEM Pluginsmasters\" width=\"437\" height=\"189\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 437px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 437\/189;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gforcesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GForce-SEM-1.png\" alt=\"Oberheim SEM Pluginsmasters\" width=\"444\" height=\"376\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 444\/376;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/d3FNwgBYoj4<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9933,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[3539],"product_cat":[148,433,21],"product_tag":[154,66,184,814],"class_list":{"0":"post-9932","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-gforce-software","7":"product_cat-beat-production","8":"product_cat-synthesizers","9":"product_cat-virtual-instruments","10":"product_tag-beatmaking","11":"product_tag-synth","12":"product_tag-vintage","13":"product_tag-virtual-instrument","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"downloadable","18":"virtual","19":"taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Oberheim SEM - PluginsMasters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Oberheim SEM recreating the huge, unmistakable sound of the original hardware.
