The OB-X8 is an eight-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer that combines all the features of the legends OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 from the 1980s - all of the original presets are included, which at the time gave the inimitable character of the three Synth classics.
OB-X8 is completely analog, full of warmth and power. It's the same unmistakable Oberheim sound that made legendary songs like 1999 by Prince, Jump by van Halen or Tom Sawyer by Rush so unforgettable.
The individual filter types and other characteristic features of each model have been faithfully reproduced, providing an authentic and unique OB experience. In addition, the individual sounds of the originals can also be combined and mixed to create sound worlds that were never possible with the original synths.
Creating the classic OB sound requires more than just installing Vintage oscillators, filters and envelopes. Oberheim has deeply analyzed and faithfully reproduced all the complex interactions between the various components of the OB series to reflect their finest nuances and character .
The result is an incredible combination in one instrument, while remaining faithful to its predecessors, with all the warmth, subtlety and character of the original classics.
New functions such as SEM filter modes, per-voice panning, LFO keyboard tracking, mod delay time, envelope inversion and more are still being added!
The unique design of the Expression levers was an integral part that made the OB series famous.
For even greater expressiveness than the originals, the OB-X8 offers a premium Fatar keyboard with touch response and aftertouch.
Originally founded by Tom Oberheim in 1969, Oberheim Electronics developed groundbreaking products that fueled the electronic music revolution in the 1970s and early 1980s. After going out of business in 1985, these instruments achieved almost mythical status.
