Musicians, producers, sound designers, and synthesizer enthusiasts will rejoice over the Oberheim OB-X8 Desktop, a 100% polyphonic analog synthesizer module that's based on the classic designs from over 40 years ago. The OB-X8 Module combines the three different voice architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 into a single instrument. The Oberheim's design team exhaustively analyzed and recreated the complex interactions between the various components of each OB-series synth to capture their nuances and character. The result is the most faithful, authoritative renewal of an analog classic possible—with all the warmth, subtlety, and presence of the originals.

The instrument includes all the classic Page 2 parameters plus new ones, giving you direct access to 40+ nuanced controls such as additional SEM filter modes, per-voice panning, LFO keyboard tracking, Mod delay time and envelope inversion, independent pulse width control, and much more.
