Miltone 4EXP (Oberheim Four Voice Replica) Debuts At Superbooth 2026
Superbooth 2026: This video, via CatSynthTV, offers a first look at the Miltone 4EXP – a full-size replica of the original Oberheim Four Voice synthesizer.
The Oberheim Four-Voice is a iconic mid-1970s analog polysynth, created by Tom Oberheim, that essentially combined four independent Oberheim SEM modules into a single keyboard instrument. It was one of the first true polyphonic synthesizers available to musicians, but had a very different architecture than later polysynths.
Each voice is a complete SEM with its own VCOs, multimode filter, envelopes, and modulation, allowing every note to have slightly different timbre and behavior, which gives the instrument a uniquely organic, animated sound.
Video Summary:
“Manfred from Miltone treats us to a demo of the 4EXP, an impressive and meticulous re-creation of the legendary Oberheim Four Voice.
Like the original, there are four SEM models, build from discrete components and circuit boards the accurately match the original – they even have potentiometers with ball bearings. It does of course include modern features like MIDI as well.”
Details on pricing and availability are to come at the Miltone site.
