NRSynth Quatuor Offers Modern Take On Oberheim Four Voice


French synth maker NRSynth shared this demo of the Quatuor, a new keyboard synthesizer that’s inspired by the classic Oberheim Four Voice.

Like the Four Voice, the Quatuor is built around four individual synth voices, each with their own controls. This makes the keyboard massive, but also provides a unique level of hands-on control, as can be seen from this photo:

Here’s a demo featuring three classic sounds:

  • Jump (Van Halen, 1983)
  • Cyclone (Tangerine Dream, 1978)
  • Chants magnétiques 1 (Jean-Michel Jarre, 1981) Quatuor (main sequence) , Retro-one (Bass), Pro-800 (strings).


Here’s a Berlin School style demo of the Quatuor:

Details on pricing and availability are to be announced. You can learn more by contacting NRSynth via their site.
