Oberheim SEM vs Behringer 2-XM Head-To-Head Comparison

6 Oct, 2025 Synthesizers/Keyboard Synthesizers & Modular Synthesizers

In the video, synthesist Ben Edwards (Benge) shares a head-to-head comparison between a vintage Oberheim SEM and a Behringer 2-XM.

“The idea is to see if the VCO, VCF and envelopes sound and behave the same,” he notes, “or are there subtle differences that mean that I won’t be selling my Four Voice any time soon ?”

The Behringer copy definitely gets in the ballpark, so the bigger question for most is probably whether the 2-XM offers you sound design options that complement your current setup.
