Oberheim OB-X8 Analoger Synthesizer

The OB-X8 sounds like a classic Oberheim because it is a classic Oberheim. Because for the first time in over 40 years, the legendary analog Oberheim sound returns.

The Oberheim design team has deeply analyzed and faithfully reproduced all of the complex interactions between the various components of the OB series to reproduce their finest nuances and character. - The result is the best possible combination of a new instrument, with simultaneous fidelity to its predecessors, with all the warmth, subtlety and character of the originals.

The OB-X8's audio signal path is all analog, full of warmth and power. Furthermore, the OB-X8 combines the three different sound architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 into a single instrument. The individual filter types and other characteristic features of each model have been faithfully reproduced to provide an authentic and unique OB experience. In addition, the individual elements of the originals can also be combined and mixed to create sounds that were never possible with the original synths. Never before has there been an OB synth as versatile and powerful as the new OB-X8.
