I own/use the bx_oberhausen. It's a basic synth modeled after the Oberheim SEM from the late 1970s. The simplicity is great because I'm lousy at making synth patches. I use it for background sounds, which usually involves long held notes. I also freeze my bx_oberhausen tracks at 192 kHz 32 bit FP and then use r8brain PRO to resample them back to 44.1 kHz 32 bit FP. The resampled track is then reinserted into my 44.1 kHz projects as an audio track for processing. This is because the bx_oberhausen offers no oversampling options, and the aliasing is clearly audible when running realtime at 44.1 kHz.

If you want a complex synth with endless possibilities, this ain't it. If you want a synth that offers good oversampling options, this ain't it. But it's my personal favourite because I can dial in a usable sound with relative ease, even if they all sound kinda samey.

I've never used the bx_console Focusrite SC, but if you're a new to mixing I highly recommend learning with a channel strip. Much of this is down to both the limited options and the reduced amount of visual aids—especially with regard to EQ. I no longer use a channel strip, but I'm glad that I did because it was a super helpful learning tool.
