Oberheim is back: a special reissue of a classic synth, and the name badge returns

You can’t keep a Two Voice down. The 1975 classic saw a modern reissue by its original creator a few years back. And now it’s back in production again, while also marking the return of the beloved Oberheim badge.

Polymode is Cherry’s new soft synth inspired by the Polymoog, for $29

This idiosyncratic beast from 1975 gets a modern remake for playability.
