The man behind Oberheim’s greatest synths is 90 and still building in his lab

Synth designer Tom Oberheim has marked his 90th birthday and remains active in his workshop. The creator of the OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 helped shape the sound of 1980s music, later lost the rights to his own name, and spent years writing traffic-light software before returning to instrument building. He is reportedly working on a secret new project.
